近距离内射合集

SANTA FE 鈥� New Mexicans are used to national confusion about the state鈥檚 location and whether it鈥檚 actually part of the 近距离内射合集 States 鈥� or a foreign country.

But members of the state鈥檚 congressional delegation don鈥檛 want any further mix-ups 鈥� or sovereignty slights 鈥� after President Donald Trump鈥檚 recent social media posts suggesting New Mexico be renamed 鈥淣ew America.鈥� 

In a Thursday letter, members of the state鈥檚 all-Democratic delegation urged the chief executive officers of Google and Apple to publicly commit by next week that they would not change the name of New Mexico on their mapping services.

鈥淎gain, the name has belonged to the people of New Mexico since before the 近距离内射合集 States existed,鈥� said the letter, signed by all five members of the state鈥檚 delegation. 鈥淚t should not become a political football to be negotiated between an unhinged president and two of the most powerful technology companies in the world.鈥�

Top New Mexico state officials have strongly condemned Trump鈥檚 posts, which some Republicans have described as satire.

Trolling or not, members of the state鈥檚 congressional delegation pointed out in their Thursday letter that both Google and Apple previously when he officially renamed Lake Ontario as Lake America and changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

But the situation with New Mexico appears to be different, since the president does not have the authority to unilaterally change the name of a state.

New Mexico鈥檚 name is established in , meaning it would require both a vote by the Democratic-controlled Legislature and subsequent ratification by statewide voters in order for it to be changed. 

No formal proposals to change New Mexico鈥檚 name have been announced since Trump鈥檚 social media posts last weekend, though such proposals could be filed during the 60-day legislative session that begins in January.

House Speaker Javier Mart铆nez, D-Albuquerque, described the president鈥檚 social media crusade as a 鈥渟hameless distraction鈥� from rising consumer costs.

鈥淔rom high gas prices to skyrocketing healthcare costs, Trump and his Republican lackeys are doing everything to make life more expensive for New Mexicans,鈥� Mart铆nez told the Journal. 

The state鈥檚 name remained 鈥淣ew Mexico鈥� on both Google and Apple maps as of Thursday. Neither company responded to questions about whether they intended for that to change.
