NEW: The order to limit a satellite system used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House, according to two US officials and a Western official briefed on the matter.

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.

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)

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.

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.

The requirement that forces many immigrants to abandon their lives for a decade before coming back to the U.S. is just one of the many barriers that keep families in limbo. And for many law-abiding immigrants who have lived and worked here for decades, there isn't even a "line" to get into.

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.

Cortez Masto reintroduces bill requiring insurers to cover OTC birth control
U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto is reintroducing a bill that would require insurers to cover over the counter birth control.

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.

U.S. Diesel Prices Hit New Record High as Fuel Squeeze Bites
The average price of a gallon of diesel in the U.S. hit a fresh record high of $6.27 on Tuesday, boosting expectations that the Fed would hike interest rates Wednesday.

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.
