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.

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...

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.
