Our partners in Ukraine counted on these systems to protect innocent lives from Russia's illegal invasion. Between this decision and Trump's attempt to buy diesel that funds Putin's war, the Trump Admin. has repeatedly betrayed our allies and the values our country is supposed to stand for.

My Jimmy Deal Trafficking Survivors Assistance Act is about one thing: making it easier for victims of human trafficking to escape to safety.

Bill Pulte is under investigation for abusing his authority to accuse Donald Trump’s political opponents of mortgage fraud. Meanwhile, he’s slashing the department in charge of investigating real mortgage fraud. (1/2)

We cannot start funding Putin’s war machine against Ukraine because the President is desperate to distract from his failures. The Senate passed legislation to sanction Russian oil buyers just three weeks ago. That is the law, and the President needs to follow it.

Corruption raises costs in every corner of our lives and it’s a betrayal of the oath public officials take to the American people. While the Trump Admin. is the most corrupt I’ve ever seen in my lifetime, the truth is this issue didn’t start when he took office. (1/2)

This kind of reckless conduct is completely unacceptable. I am demanding a full and independent investigation immediately. More than that, I’m demanding accountability at every level. (1/2)

Trump’s economy has been a disaster for Latino Nevadans:

Good news: the Senate passed my bipartisan legislation last week to crack down on tax scammers, protect taxpayer privacy, and stop Americans from being penalized because of IRS delays.

Bill Pulte needs to come before the Senate and answer for the abuses of power he’s committed in service to Trump’s political agenda.

Bill Pulte has abused his power as Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency to target Trump’s political opponents. He’s slashed funding for watchdogs meant to hold him accountable. And while he’s been focused on politics, his mismanagement has created unnecessary risk in our housing market.

The Trump Admin. wants to restrict a woman’s right to choose even in pro-choice states like Nevada. Attorney General Todd Blanche was caught saying this just a few weeks ago on a call to anti-choice activists. We cannot lose sight of the fight to defend women’s rights in this country.

Betting on whether a wildfire will devastate a community – our neighbors and friends – is truly wrong and dangerous. We need to crack down on the prediction markets that allow wagers on natural disasters before someone gets hurt.

TPS holders from El Salvador have been working hard, following the law, and contributing every day to our communities and our economy in Nevada. They deserve certainty and safety, and they’re not getting it from the Trump Administration.

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.

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 @hassan.senate.gov questioned her, Overton refused to even entertain the possibility that Trump could be wrong.

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.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez has no criminal record. He was on the job making deliveries when an ICE agent shot him. This is what the Trump Admin. is doing in our communities, and it should outrage all of us. I am demanding answers about Perez’s treatment and accountability at all levels.

Remember: Trump’s mismanagement has sent mortgage rates and housing costs through the roof. And when he had the chance to do something about it by passing the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, he refused to even sign it.

Talk about rising costs is not enough, we need action. That’s why I worked to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act to invest in building more homes, lowering costs, and helping families afford their dreams of homeownership.

This comes out to over $2,000 per household in Nevada. Think what your family could have done with an extra $2,000 over the last year. That’s what Trump’s reckless blanket tariffs are costing you.

Just yesterday, the IRS sent out a warning about fake “Tribal tax credits” being promoted by fraudsters. Last year, Senate Republicans voted to confirm Billy Long, a man who promoted these exact fake tax credits, as head of the IRS.

Millions of Americans count on hydropower for their energy needs. It’s cheap, it’s clean, and it’s reliable. That’s why I passed bipartisan legislation this week to cut red tape that’s holding back hydroelectric energy in this country.

Diesel is at $7 a gallon in Reno, but that’s a small price to pay for a man who’s never pumped his own gas.

In the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, I made sure to push for investments to build and maintain manufactured housing, because I know how important that is - especially for Tribal communities.

Our power grid is constantly under threat from foreign adversaries and criminal networks. That’s why I’m working on legislation to invest in grid security specifically focused on rural electric co-ops, in order to ensure they have the resources they need to protect themselves.

The SAFE Banking Act is about making it easier for legal cannabis businesses to access banking and other financial services that will help them protect their workers and customers. This legislation is key for small businesses in Nevada, and I will continue working until we pass it into law.

It sounds ridiculous, but it’s true. Trump’s EPA is embracing an absurd anti-choice conspiracy theory about mifepristone in the water supply, all while the administration rolls back actual guardrails for clean air and water.

High diesel costs directly increase prices because the cost of fuel gets passed onto anything that needs to be trucked to a store. Nevadans need relief. That’s why I’m fighting to pass bills like my Workers Tax Cut Act to expand tax credits that help workers keep more of their hard-earned money.

The Postal Service has no business running a list of American voters that Donald Trump has “allowed” to vote by mail. My @democrats.senate.gov colleagues and I are calling on the Supreme Court to follow the Constitution and reject Trump’s attempts to control our elections.

We're seeing hospitals close and health care get more out of reach. Instead of doing anything to fix it, President Trump is spending billions to ramp up his mass deportation scheme. Our country deserves better than this.

The Roadless Rule protects over 44 million acres of public forest land across this country, including some of America’s last true wilderness. I will continue to fight the Trump Admin.'s attempts to weaken the guardrails that preserve these natural treasures and protect them for future generations.

Before last Friday, the closest national cemetery for veterans in Elko was over 160 miles away in Idaho. Can you imagine having to drive over two hours, on a good day, just to visit the final resting place of your loved one?

TPS for El Salvador expires tomorrow, but there is still time for the President to do the right thing. President Trump must extend the TPS designation for El Salvador.

For me, Labor Day is a reminder of the power of working families. Everything around us in Nevada, from the Strip to our highways and manufacturing centers - none if it would be here without our union workers who make it happen.

Today, I stood with @culinary226.bsky.social, BAC Local 13, and the Nat. TPS Alliance to call on the President to extend TPS for El Salvador before the Sept. 9 deadline. These families are working, they're paying taxes, and they are key members of our communities. They deserve safety and stability.

I’m leading my colleagues in demanding Trump’s ICE cancel any plans to use these “electric shock gloves.” After all of the abuses and excessive uses of force we’ve seen, we cannot trust the Trump Administration to deploy these devices safely.

My Fairness for Immigrant Families Act is focused on fixing the issues that keep long-term undocumented families in limbo. These aren’t criminals or traffickers, they're people who've worked hard and followed our laws for years. They deserve a chance to live their American Dream.

The corruption never stops. Donald Trump Jr. is an advisor with stakes in both Polymarket and Kalshi. If they do well, the Trump family does well. Is it any wonder he wants his dad's hand-picked allies in charge of prediction market oversight?

$2,500,000,000 – that’s how much Trump’s reckless tariffs have cost Nevadans since he imposed these new taxes last year. Prices are rising all around us, and his solution is to keep taking money out of your pocket and starting trade wars with our allies. These tariff taxes need to be reversed now.
