For the first time in years, overdose deaths have been declining recently after reaching a peak of about 111,000 in 2022. However, advocates are worried about a backslide on that progress as federal grants are lost, and agencies like the the National Institutes of Health are crippled by drastic funding cuts.

U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM) spoke with Nash Jones on New Mexico in Focus about what these drastic cuts mean for New Mexico.

The New Mexico Department of Justice has released an interactive map showing some of the impacts of federal funding cuts. The map was added to the federal disruptions tracker the NMDOJ launched last month.
