NEW MEXICO OUTSMARTS THE REGIME AGAIN
When the GOP-controlled Congress let ACA subsidies expire on December 31—with no replacement, no warning to the 4.8 million Americans projected to lose coverage—New Mexico was ready.
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and state lawmakers created the Health Care Affordability Fund in 2021—five years before subsidies expired—specifically for this moment. When Republicans let the funding lapse, New Mexico immediately deployed $17.3 million from the fund to replace every dollar.
Without state action, up to 27,100 people would have lost coverage. Instead, enrollment in the New Mexico health care marketplace hit a record 80,400—with 43% of enrollees paying $10 or less per month.
Then on March 6, Lujan Grisham signed House Bill 4 into law—permanently increasing revenue to the Health Care Affordability Fund through 2029. That protects coverage for up to 46,600 New Mexicans and reduces health care costs for up to 122,000 people.
“The Republican-controlled Congress is forcing families to endure a massive premium hike,” Lujan Grisham said. “And New Mexico won’t stand for it.”
NOEM’S COVER-UP COLLAPSES
The regime fought to keep financial records from Kristi Noem’s $220 million no-bid ad campaign buried. Senators Peter Welch and Richard Blumenthal demanded them anyway—and what came back is now part of the public record.
Documents show taxpayer money went to a $20,000 horse rental, $500 at a magic store in South Dakota, and a $60,000 signing bonus—awarded to a company that didn’t exist until days before the contract was signed. The main deal was valued at $143 million.
Sen. Welch said: “This looks like waste, fraud, and abuse to me.” Sen. Blumenthal called it “completely unacceptable,” vowing to get answers on “whether any federal officials profited from DHS contracts.” The DHS inspector general is investigating.
Noem thought she could hide a $220 million scandal behind a horse and a cowboy hat. She failed miserably.
FEDERAL JUDGE HANDS TRUMP ANOTHER LOSS
While senators dug through Noem’s receipts, DHS was quietly trying to make it nearly impossible to get a green card.
Under a program called Operation PARRIS, DHS issued memos in December and February reinterpreting a decades-old statute. They turned what historically meant refugees must check in with authorities into grounds for arrest and detention.
The trap was built into the timeline. Refugees can only apply for a green card after one full year in the country—but under this revised policy, if the government hadn’t approved their application by day 366, they faced immediate arrest. The government controls how long applications take. Refugees don’t. It was a trap with no exit.
Six refugees refused to accept it. They filed suit on February 27 alongside partner organizations, arguing the policy was an unlawful misinterpretation of the 1980 Refugee Act.
On Monday, US District Judge Richard Stearns agreed and blocked the policy for the duration of the litigation. DOJ attorneys didn’t even contest the plaintiffs’ request to block it. “The individual plaintiffs are at risk of unlawful and unnecessary detention, a quintessential example of irreparable harm,” Stearns wrote.
Steven Bressler of Democracy Forward said the ruling “affirms that the government cannot manipulate the law to justify the mass arrest and detention of people. For decades, federal law has established that refugees who are lawfully present in the United States will not be jailed simply because of administrative delays or paperwork.”
MINNESOTA SUES
The Trump regime sent thousands of federal officers into Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge—the largest immigration enforcement operation in DHS history. Two Americans were shot and killed. A third was shot and wounded. Minnesota refused to back down.
Attorney General Keith Ellison, DA Mary Moriarty, and BCA Superintendent Drew Evans filed suit on Tuesday—naming Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem directly. The suit alleges DOJ and DHS have blocked state investigators from accessing evidence related to the three shootings.
This isn’t just about transparency. Minnesota needs this evidence if they are ever going to file criminal charges against the federal agents who killed Good and Pretti. The fight for accountability starts here.
We don’t just cover the resistance—we are the resistance. That’s why we launched our campaign to make Trump a lame duck by flipping the House and Senate in the fall. We’re driving one million contacts to Congress by November, and generating a billion impressions against Trump on social media every month.
