In what ranks as one of the most memorable debate moments in recent history, Donald Trump said that Haitian immigrants are eating people’s pets in Springfield, Ohio.

No one has yet turned up evidence that this is true, although there is an audio recording of a man reporting that he witnessed four Haitian immigrants absconding with geese from a local pond.

Since everyone is always happy to see geese go someplace else, this call hasn’t made much of an impression on the debate over Trump’s comments, which, true to form, were the most incendiary thing he could say about Springfield.

WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Sens. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., and Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., and U.S. Reps. Teresa Leger Fernández, D-N.M., Melanie Stansbury, D-N.M., and Gabe Vasquez, D-N.M., joined advocates for a press conference on Sept. 24 calling on House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to hold a vote on a Senate-passed bill that would strengthen the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act.

Historically, Harris has attended international climate conferences, including December’s UN’s COP28 where she pledged $3 billion in taxpayer dollars to support the climate agenda.

“Kamala Harris may run as far away from this conference as possible, but her heart will...

WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., released the following statement after Senate Republicans once again blocked the passage of the Right to IVF Act on Sept. 17. Heinrich introduced the legislation as an original cosponsor to establish a nationwide right to in-vitro fertilization and other assisted reproductive technology. The legislation would also lower the costs of IVF treatment for millions of families, veterans, and service members.

“Once again, Senate Republicans have blocked legislation that would protect families’ freedom to start and grow a family with IVF," Heinrich said. "Republicans are using their position of power to tell people when, how, and...
