Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, a U.S. Representative from New Mexico, shared several posts on her social media account on September 23, 2025, addressing ongoing federal budget negotiations and public sentiment regarding former President Donald Trump.
In a post made at 16:26 UTC, Rep. Leger Fernández stated, "Trump just walked away from bipartisan negotiations to fund the government — with only 8 days left before a shutdown.
The Senate has already rejected his party’s reckless, partisan spending bill that locks in higher premiums for millions and massive cuts to the health care".
Later that day at 19:19 UTC, she posted another message: "Me: I’m protecting what we love.
Them: what do you mean?
