ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The U.S. Senate is expected to vote on a bill Tuesday that would increase COVID stimulus payments to $2,000. Democrats are asking the President to help them get this done before the new year. It s hard to imagine the Senate moving forward with that, especially since the President signed the original bill, right? So everyone s got what they wanted originally,” said political science expert Lonna Atkeson. Does this put Republicans at risk, especially Republicans who are currently running for office.

President-elect Joe Biden’s apparent nomination of U.S. Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM) to head the U.S. Department of the Interior for the incoming administration was denounced by New Mexico oil and gas industry leaders and extraction supporters who feared Haaland’s environmental record could mean stricter restrictions on the fossil fuel sector.
Under the administration of President Donald Trump and Interior Secretary David Bernhardt, the U.S. saw numerous years of record-breaking oil and gas production as the Permian Basin which spans southeast New Mexico and West Texas became one of the world’s most productive shale plays.
