Movie theaters are still closed due to the pandemic, but New Mexicans will get a chance to see Tom Hanks’ “News of the World.” The film was released on Christmas in theaters — just in time for Oscar consideration.

Principal photography began on the project in October 2019, where it filmed in and around Santa Fe for a few months. “News of the World” is based on th...
SANTA FE — An Albuquerque state senator has — once again — filed legislation that would allow the names of applicants for top public school, law enforcement and other taxpayer-funded positions to be kept secret.

Bill Tallman, a Democrat, is already generating opposition from at least one government transparency group. A spokeswoman for Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham also said Thursday the governor is commi...
SANTA FE — Plexiglass. Online voting on bills. And a face mask requirement for those present in the state Capitol.

In addition, the unprecedented session will likely feature many la...

He was just a kind, generous, humble person," said nurse practitioner Amanda Elam, who worked with Shrader at his clinic....
Billy Joe Essary never met a stranger. Everyone was his friend, according to Essary's family. "He made everybody feel like a friend," said Gary Essary of his father. "He had this way of making strangers feel at home," said Amy Essary, the wife of his son, Carl. "I knew that, but I don't think I realized just how much, because I have met so many people who see him as a close friend and have said they will miss him deeply." Essary, a lifetime Roosevelt County resident, died on...
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In images posted on social media and beamed around the world Wednesday, small clusters of U.S. Capitol Police officers retreated, fell away from violent assaults or simply moved aside as a large mob descended on the seat of American legislative power. Officers at a U.S. Capitol perimeter fence tried to hold their line but failed as intruders overturned the barrier.

On this date ... 1966: Folk music was being used by the Communist Party to undermine the morals and patriotism of Americans. That was the message recently delivered by Rev. David Noebel at Clovis’ Holiday Inn.
