Nevada voted overwhelmingly – in 1990 and in 2024 – to protect the right to choose in our state. But anti-choice politicians don’t care. They’ve pushed policies that would restrict abortion access in Nevada over and over again since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. But I will not let up the fight to protect our freedoms.
Christian’s story is one of perseverance and hard work. There are thousands of Dreamers just like him who have put in the work to build their American Dream, and they deserve safety and peace of mind. Americans agree, we need to pass the Dream Act. https://t.co/LNO4o9fX1w
Even the best doctor on Earth can only see so many patients in a day. We need more staff at Indian Health Service facilities, and this bipartisan bill would help achieve that. Thank you to @lisamurkowski, @SenThomTillis, and @PattyMurray for working with me to ensure Tribal citizens have the health care access they need.
I want to take a moment to recognize the brave men and women who risk their lives every day to keep all of us safe. But more than that, I want to make sure they know that we have their backs. This week, we made critical progress on legislation to deliver more resources for our officers, protect their benefits, and honor them for the sacrifices they make for our communities. As Police Week comes to a close, my commitment to our officers does not.
Great news for Nevada - it’s hard to believe how much our professional sports scene has grown in just the last few years, especially our women’s teams. Growing opportunities for women athletes at all levels is so important and I am excited to welcome another team to my hometown. I can’t wait to cheer them on soon!
Tribal law enforcement aren’t able to request the same support from U.S. Marshals that local and state police can access to search for fugitives or missing children. If we can change that, we can help combat the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. That’s why I’m pleased to see my bill to expand those resources for Tribal police has passed out of committee, and I will keep pushing to get it to the President’s desk.
Good. Now, the Court needs to fully reject this attempt by anti-choice extremists to further restrict women’s freedoms.
It’s clear we need to pass market structure legislation, and I’ve worked for months with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to negotiate a bill that provides clear rules of the road for a growing industry. But the current version of the CLARITY Act undermines law enforcement’s ability to trace illicit finance and recover victims’ money, while at the same time creating a more challenging environment to prosecute criminals for knowingly transmitting illicit funds. It’s disappointing that my commonsense fixes discussed among stakeholders and supported by police and prosecutors nationwide weren’t adopted today. But I’m committed to finding solutions that allow us to take on bad actors – the criminals not the everyday coders – while giving the millions of U.S. crypto users the certainty they need.
Owning your own home has gotten out of reach for too many Nevadans, and many are struggling just to keep a roof over their heads. We’re facing an affordability crisis in this country, and we need to act. That’s why I’m working across the aisle on legislation to build more homes and deliver the financing to help Nevada families afford them.
Donald Trump wants the Federal Reserve to rubber-stamp his every whim, potentially adding even more instability to our economy while prices soar. Kevin Warsh hasn't convinced me that he'll actually stand up to Trump and protect the independence of the Fed. So I voted against him.
