The governor stated that the president's post was 'an effort to distract Americans from his disastrous war in Iran.'

Meanwhile, New Mexico's Department of Justice has launched a lawsuit against Meta, the parent company of Facebook. The state claims that Meta lied about data protections and secretly allowed user information to be sold for targeted political advertising.
