There are strong bicameral discussions on this issue and Chairman Smith and @RepHorsford have advanced a thoughtful proposal. I am especially pleased that it includes our legislation to fix the gaming losses tax that has harmed Nevada. Certainty for taxpayers with digital (cont in reply...)

On October 1, 2017, the city of Las Vegas, the state of Nevada, and the entire United States were shaken to their cores when 58 people were killed and nearly 500 were injured at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. Two more people died later from their injuries. It’s been nine (cont in image...)

What Senate Republicans proposed today was a show vote on a bill that doesn't even require members of Congress to divest the stocks they currently own. We need a real Congressional stock trading ban, but it’s obvious GOP leaders aren't interested in holding elected (cont in reply...)

Congress has a responsibility under the Constitution to check the Supreme Court when their decisions impede on Nevadans’ fundamental rights. That is our system of checks and balances that the Founders created to protect our freedoms, and that’s what the Supreme Court Review Act is about.

I hear it all the time: "Why don't TPS holders just adjust their status?" The fact is, it isn't that simple for many TPS holders and other immigrants. The requirement that forces many immigrants to abandon their lives for a decade before coming back to the U.S. is just one of (cont in image...)

Here’s an example of the backwards priorities of Republican leaders in Washington: Senate Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits that kept costs down for middle-class families. For just a tenth of what Trump is spending on projects like his golden ballroom, we could (cont in image...)

Two out of every five visitors to Las Vegas take a road trip to get here. Every time gas prices go up, fewer people can afford to make the trip. That leaves Nevada hospitality workers with fewer tips and fewer hours, on top of the high gas prices they have to pay, too. This is (cont in image...)

Over and over again, extreme Supreme Court decisions have eroded Nevadans’ fundamental rights and ignored the intent of Congress. When this happens, Congress is supposed to act – but cumbersome procedures make it nearly impossible for relief to come quickly. I’ve introduced the (cont in reply...)

If Heidi Overton is confirmed as FDA Commissioner, what will she do if Trump asks her to take an action she knows is wrong? When @SenatorHassan questioned her, Overton refused to even entertain the possibility that Trump could be wrong. When it comes to our food and medicine, (cont in reply...)

Our Paseo Verde Little League team did an incredible job representing our state and our country at the World Series. This week, I was pleased to pass a resolution honoring their determination and sportsmanship. Congratulations again to the Paseo Verde players, coaches, and (cont in image...)

Right now, workers are waiting 465 days on average for their first contract after forming a union. Many never get one at all. That is unacceptable. @SenBooker, @Culinary226, and I are pushing to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act to ensure workers get the fair treatment, (cont in reply...)

The Trump Admin. is going after women’s reproductive health care. That doesn’t just mean abortion access, that means birth control and contraceptives, too. Today, I stood with @PattyMurray and @maziehirono to call out these attacks on our freedom, and to push for our (cont in image...)

Trump is spending over $1.8 billion on ridiculous vanity projects while Nevadans are struggling to afford their health care. See for yourself how Trump is putting his ego ahead of Americans' needs with this new tool my friend @SenatorHassan released today. 🔽

Today, @SenBooker and I are with @Culinary226 pushing for our Faster Labor Contracts Act. Bad actors are using every trick in the book to stall union negotiations, keep wages low, and stop workers from exercising their rights. Enough is enough. The Senate needs to pass our bill (cont in image...)

Tens of thousands of Nevadans live in manufactured homes. They are affordable and flexible options, and we should be investing in them as part of our work to lower housing costs. That’s why I made sure my PRICE Act – which invests in manufactured housing – was included in the (cont in reply...)

This is the result of choices that Senate Republicans and the Trump Admin. have made to hike costs for Americans. The Senate GOP could have worked with Democrats to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits. No one forced Trump’s HHS to end Medicare Part D subsidies keeping drug costs Quoting NBC News
