Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)

Tomorrow is the latest deposition in the Epstein case, with Ghislaine Maxwell appearing in front of House Oversight. I will be there, whether she tries to claim the 5th or not. The American people demand justice.

Isn’t it crazy that the anonymous staffer who posted that racist meme is named in the Epstein files tens of thousands of times—and the majority of our Republican colleagues still haven’t said a thing?

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone! Hope everyone has a good time watching the game at the Bad Bunny concert! 😘

This week, a brave New Mexican who voted for Trump three times went on C-SPAN to talk about the lies, racism, and corruption that he and his Admin are creating. 

The tides are turning. We all feel it. America—it’s time to reclaim our country.

Attacks on Gaza have not stopped since the ceasefire agreement in October and have killed more than 520 Palestinians, including an 11-year-old girl just last week. 

Israel must abide by the terms of the ceasefire. This cannot go on.

Happy Saturday, everyone! We made it. Here’s your weekly wrap-up and look ahead!

From DHS funding to the latest on the Epstein files to a DOGE Committee reboot, here’s everything going on. ⬇️

Ghislaine Maxwell is set to finally give a deposition in front of the Oversight Committee on Monday—and I will be there. We are being told that she is blanket pleading the 5th for every single question. What is she hiding and who is she protecting?

We will not stop until we get to the truth.

I miss this America.

Racist, vile, unacceptable. It’s time for him to be held accountable. ⬇️

Ok, but for real, why is Donald Trump acting so weird about Clinton testifying under oath about the Epstein files?

YouTube video by Rep. Melanie Stansbury Rep. Stansbury: We will not let the Trump Admin erase our shared history

Our shared history—no matter how difficult—is American history.

We will not let the Trump Admin erase the histories, resilience, and triumphs of our Black, Indigenous, AAPI, Chicano, and LGBTQ+ communities. Because how we remember, and who we remember, matters.

If democracy dies in the dark, why is @washingtonpost.com turning off the lights?

My family was imprisoned behind barbed wire and armed guards by our own government.

Not for what they did. But because of who they were. I was born in that internment camp.

My family history lives with me every day. It drives me to fight for my neighbors—for their rights and for their dignity.

Estadounidenses, vivimos en una época de crueldad.

Vivimos en una época en la que hablar el idioma «equivocado» o tener el color de piel «equivocado» te pone en peligro.

El Congreso debe disolver ICE y destituir a Kristi Noem.

This Administration is robbing our country of its humanity.  

Yesterday, we heard from the brothers of Renee Nicole Good, Marimar Martinez, Aliya Rahman, & Daniel Rascon, who were shot, brutalized, and detained by ICE and DHS. These are not isolated incidents. This is Administration policy.

Casar holds a 3 minute and 26 second moment of silence to represent the time in which DHS officers let Renee Good bleed out after she was shot

Happy Black History Month! Today and every day we honor the generations of Black New Mexicans whose leadership, resilience, and advocacy have shaped our state and our nation. Because, Black History is New Mexico History! #BlackHistoryNM #BlackHistoryMonth2026 #NewMexicoHistory

Today, I will vote NO. ❌

Not. A. Single. Penny. More to DHS to continue to commit violence in our communities. It must stop.

Today we honor the anniversary of the 15th Amendment—which declared that the vote could not be denied or abridged on the basis of race, color, or servitude. The work continues to ensure that every person has access to the ballot box and that our country fulfills its promise of democracy.

The American people deserve the truth. The survivors deserve justice. And, no amount of gaslighting and lies in the Epstein case will stop us from getting to both.

The dam is breaking, and we won’t stop until every file is released and everyone is held to account.

This is the Deputy Attorney General of the United States saying “it is not a crime to party with Epstein” in response to a question about prosecuting men who “had relations” with minors. Sir, yes it is a crime. And, prosecuting these crimes is your job.

As we mark World Wetlands Day, I’m thinking about how critical wetlands are to our communities here in New Mexico. These ecosystems protect our water, support wildlife, and help us adapt to a changing climate. We must continue working to protect them for generations to come!

YouTube video by Rep. Melanie Stansbury Update: Government shutdown, DHS, Epstein files, & more!

Happy Monday, everyone! It’s a crazy week ahead. Here’s a rundown of what’s happening—from the government shutdown, to reining in DHS, the Epstein files, and good news out of TX with the release of Liam Ramos and some big Special Election wins—a LOT is going on. ⬇️

As we head back to DC today, New Mexico is hearing a critical bill in the NM State Senate today to protect immigrant rights. Here’s what HB9 is all about. Many thanks to the NM Immigrant Law Center for all of your advocacy and work on this important bill!

The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love. ⬇️

A joyful visit to our State Capitol this weekend to advocate for key legislation in NM and lift up the amazing work of the #NMLeg. Was also so excited to honor our 2026 State Earth Science Achievement Awardee Dagmar Llewellyn for her lifetime of work protecting New Mexico’s rivers!

Happy birthday to our fearless leader!

From tackling the biggest challenges to making time for even the tinniest constituents, you lead with grit, determination, and heart. We are so proud and lucky to work with you every single day. Enjoy your day, Congresswoman!

- Team Stansbury 🤍

YouTube video by Rep. Melanie Stansbury Rep. Stansbury: Federal fund bills, Epstein files, and ICE walk-out

We’re coming to you from the New Mexico State Capitol today, where we’re advocating for some really important initiatives in NM. And, we’re here with updates on federal funding, the Epstein files, Congress, and everything else going on. ⬇️

Todd Blanche said that there are no names in the Epstein files. He’s lying.

1. We have already seen names of co-conspirators, & the survivors told us they gave sworn statements to police and the FBI that are in the files.
2. Trump told MTG his friends would get hurt if the full files were released.

Arresting journalists.
Raiding election offices.
Invading American cities.
Committing violence against our own people.

The worst of what we feared is here. It’s time for any of my colleagues sitting on the sidelines to do something and stand up.
