New Mexico legislative leaders are recommending a 5.7% general fund spending increase for the coming fiscal year.

Three of New Mexico's five Congressional members tell KOAT they will skip President-elect Donald Trump's second Inauguration on Monday.

U.S. Senator Ben Ray Lujan shared a personal story explaining his support for the Republican nominee for the U.S. Secretary of Transportation. President-elect Donald Trump nominated former Wisconsin representative Sean Duffy to lead the department.

The list of big-time events that will take place on Trump’s watch is formidable: There is the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence — the U.S. Semiquincentennial celebration of the nation’s birthday next year. The 2026 World Cup. The 2028 Olympics. (And, on a more somber note, the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.)

Mexico's president sarcastically said that the U.S. should be called "Mexican America" after Trump's vow to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America."

The Gulf of Mexico has been known by many names over the years. Renaming it could cause navigational issues for international sailors.

Mexican officials and other leaders in the region have not been able to meet with the incoming administration about its migration and deportation plans.
