Deb Haaland, U.S. Secretary of the Interior and former congresswoman from New Mexico, posted a series of messages on her Twitter account between December 3 and December 4, 2025, addressing topics ranging from food security to education and environmental stewardship.
On December 3, Haaland commented on state-level efforts to address food insecurity, stating, "No one deserves to be a pawn in Trump’s political games. New Mexico did what the federal government refused to do: ensure working families didn’t starve just because they need a little support. It’s time for the federal government to step up and replenish those funds that". In this post, she referenced actions taken by New Mexico to provide aid where she believes federal support was lacking.
The following day, Haaland turned her attention to workforce development in education. On December 4, she wrote, "Eldorado High School is a great example of what’s possible. My plan builds career & trades pathways starting in middle school so students graduate with real skills, credentials, and options for high-demand jobs here in NM. This is how we grow our workforce and our future." The statement highlights an initiative focused on creating opportunities for students through practical skills training.
Later on December 4, Haaland reflected on environmental themes after viewing a documentary premiere by a local organization. She stated, "Watching the @semilla_project film that showcases our connections to the land was emotional. The premiere of Across Together, showed everyone that we are more similar than different – the mountains don’t care what we look like or where we come from, we must all take care of them."
Deb Haaland has been an advocate for Native American rights and environmental protection throughout her tenure as Secretary of the Interior. Her recent comments align with ongoing debates over federal versus state responsibility for social safety nets and workforce development programs across the United States.
