All good things must come to an end! Thank you to the organizers, pilots, vendors, photographers, and visitors who made this year’s Balloon Fiesta so special. Until next year, Albuquerque!

Nothing like New Mexico in the fall 🍂

This is what they’re fighting for. This is what WE’RE fighting for. Are you with us in standing up against a foreign-owned uranium mining company coming in and destroying the Rio Chama watershed?

President Trump promised to lower costs on day one. It’s just another broken promise. New Mexicans are paying the price for Trump’s never-ending war and reckless trade war.

@lujan.senate.govSep 29, 2026, 9:23 PM

President Trump used your tax dollars to run a self-promotional, illegal TV ad to distract from soaring prices and his reckless war in Iran, with no end in sight. Congressional Republicans wrote a blank check from Trump's Department of Homeland Security – and this is what they are spending it on.

President Trump and Russ Vought are stealing nearly $1 billion in funding Congress already approved. They don’t get to pick which laws to follow and which ones to break. I’m fighting to get these funds to the New Mexico students, families, and small businesses counting on them.

I’ve made it a priority to ensure Western states have a stronger voice in federal policy and receive the resources they need.

@lujan.senate.govSep 28, 2026, 9:40 PM

As climate change worsens and drought becomes a growing part of life across the West, the federal government must be better prepared to support Western states and deliver emergency funding when disaster strikes.

Gun violence has no place in our schools and our communities. Every educator, student, and family deserves to feel safe, and we must continue working to prevent violence and protect our communities. I’m praying for Mr. Matthews and the entire Highland Middle School community.

There’s only one thing I have to say to those who want to come in and sell off or destroy our public lands: hell no, hands off!

You can read my full thoughts on the recent land grab by the Trump administration and Congressional Republicans in the @thenewmexican.bsky.social:

The countdown is ON! Only 7 more days until the Albuquerque sky is lit up with the most incredible balloons. Will we see you there?

@lujan.senate.govSep 25, 2026, 9:15 PM

If we’re going to leave things better than we found them, we have to continue working together.

@lujan.senate.govSep 25, 2026, 9:15 PM

I was proud to pass this legislative victory in the Senate for those who have cared for our lands for hundreds of years. Now more than ever, we need better communication and consultation between land grant-merced communities and the federal government.

I’ve opposed this war since day one, and I won’t stop fighting to bring our troops home and lower costs for New Mexicans.

I just voted for the 14th time to end Donald Trump’s disastrous war with Iran and bring our troops home. At least 19 servicemembers have lost their lives, many remain in harm’s way, gas is over $4.53 a gallon, and record diesel prices are squeezing our farmers and working families.

@lujan.senate.govSep 16, 2026, 1:14 AM

They’re not even trying to hide the corruption.

@lujan.senate.govSep 16, 2026, 1:14 AM

Who pays for the wedding — the bride’s family or the groom’s? Well, if you’re Donald Trump Jr., you can get a Russian oligarch with a net worth of $300 million and in Putin’s inner circle to pay for a private island in the Bahamas, with lavish fireworks displays and more.

Wishing a very happy New Year to the Jewish community in New Mexico 🍎🍯

@lujan.senate.govSep 10, 2026, 7:52 PM

It was an honor to provide the keynote at the @nmsu.edu Domenici Public Policy Conference. Senator Domenici showed that bipartisanship isn’t about agreeing on everything. It’s about finding common ground and getting things done for folks at home. That’s the NM tradition I’m proud to carry forward.

@lujan.senate.govSep 10, 2026, 3:28 PM

I’m leading the NM Congressional Delegation in calling on Apple and Google to keep New Mexico as New Mexico on their maps. President Trump has no legal authority to rename our state. New Mexico’s name belongs to our people – not the president. The companies have until Sept 18 to publicly commit.
