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...)
Earlier today, I had the opportunity to meet with our 2026 Nevada Teacher of the Year, Ali Jun, as well as Tiffani Jaseph - Arizona's Teacher of the Year. I am so proud of our teachers who work hard every single day to give our students a better future. Ms. Jun, Ms. Jaseph, (cont in reply...)
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...)
Access to birth control doesn’t matter if you can’t afford it. That’s why I joined my Senate colleagues on this bill to ensure over-the-counter birth control is covered by insurers and provided at no out-of-pocket cost.
The Trump Admin. sent Nevada a list of people it claimed were noncitizens who registered to vote. Our election officials reviewed the list: every person on it was a U.S. citizen.
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...)
Let’s call a spade a spade. The federal government is using your tax dollars to promote Donald Trump and his MAGA allies.
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 Communist Party of China is subsidizing their automakers to specifically target and undermine America’s auto industry. I’m working with @SenatorSlotkin on legislation to protect American workers and our national security.
Anti-choice extremists haven’t given up their fight to restrict reproductive health care. It’s happening right now, and we all need to work together to defend women’s rights and freedoms in this country.
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...)
We need global standards for AI safety and transparency to protect workers, our families, and our national security.
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...)
It’s not an accident that our families are struggling to afford health care, it’s the direct result of Trump and Republican leaders making choice after choice to raise health care costs for working Americans.
When diesel prices rise because of Trump’s war in Iran, that impact spreads through our entire economy and makes inflation worse for working families. We need to be doing everything we can to bring these costs down, including ending Trump’s reckless war.
Trump is cozying up to Putin’s allies in Belarus to ship potash thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean instead of buying it from our own Canadian allies. His childish tantrums are a danger to our national security and our economy. Quoting Bloomberg
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
