And
DEBRA TEMPLE, MHA, BSN, RN, Chief Nursing Officer, Los Alamos Medical Center
Pregnancy and childbirth are moments of great anticipation and joy – but they can also come with unexpected medical emergencies. As clinical leaders at Los Alamos Medical Center, we want our community to know this clearly: our hospital is and will continue to be prepared to care for pregnant and postpartum patients when urgent needs arise.
As we prepare to transition inpatient labor and delivery services to regional partners at the Read More

By LUCAS PEERMAN
President, NMFOG Board of Directors
and
CHRISTINE BARBER
NMFOG Executive Director
In the past year, we filed lawsuits against six government offices that were breaking the law. And we’re investigating many others.
Your New Mexico Foundation for Open Government (NMFOG) continues to fight for transparency and the public’s right to know. We know you are well aware of our organization because you have been a supporter for years. Thank you!
But the battle is never-ending. And we need your continued support to ensure government officials take action only in the sunlight. Read More
Catch Of The Week: Imposter Claude
By REBECCA RUTHERFORD
Los Alamos
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
If you have been using or thinking about using Claude, Anthropic’s AI assistant, this one is for you. Researchers at Sophos just published findings on a fake Claude website that has been quietly handing out malware to anyone who clicks “download.” Yikes!
The fake site, “claude-pro[.]com”, looks a little like the real thing. Same general color palette, similar fonts. But it is stripped down and mostly non-functional, which should be a red flag for users that something is fishy.
What it does offer is a download link for something called Read More

Our races for governor have entered stupid territory.
We’ve heard about one candidate’s ride on Epstein’s plane, another candidate’s four homes and a third candidate’s lawsuit challenging universal childcare.
Look away from the mudslinging and focus on issues, and you might notice that Deb Haaland, the Democratic frontrunner with the biggest war chest, has nothing to say about the economy or economic development. Two Republican candidates, Doug Turner and Duke Rodriguez, aren’t much better. Both seem to be saying, “I’m a businessman. Read More
Peggy Dare Endorses Antonio Maggiore For Sheriff
By PEGGY DARE
Los Alamos
My vote is for Maggiore for Sheriff. Although his opponent has a respected history of service to Los Alamos, his opponent is running to eliminate the position of Sheriff totally. Taxpayers should not be funding him to pursue this.
Maggiore wants to do positive work for the community with the position.
The argument is made that the Sheriff in our unusual town no longer has a significant role. Well whose fault is that? We hear: “The police department does all the law enforcement duties.” But that cannot be.
What is “law enforcement”? Public employees in general work in law Read More

Big Texan: The Big Texan Steak Ranch can not be missed as you travel through Amarillo on I-40. The big bright yellow building is the first thing you see but several other ‘attention getting’ features await visitors as they arrive at the Big Texan. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com
World Famous: The entrance to the Big Texan is flanked by a stretch limo with Texas Longhorns mounted on the hood and a big Route 66 Shield painted on the walkway into the facility. In Big Texan fashion, the door handles to open the front doors are pistols mounted at an angle to create door handles. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com Read More
Weekly Fishing Report: May 17, 2026
By GEORGE MORSE

Los Alamos Daily Post
The Department stocked a total of 44,581 rainbow trout weighing 16,359 pounds. Most of the stocking will now be in Northern New Mexico.
It has been one of the weakest spring runoffs in memory this year. The snowpack is gone and the weather has been unseasonably warm and dry. This is reflected in streamflow measurements. Normally, the Rio Grande would be swollen with spring runoff from the melting snow. Streamflows above 1,000 cubic-feet-per-second would be common.
Streamflow in the Rio Grande decreased slightly and is extremely below Read More
