Food costs are soaring all around us, and families are struggling to keep up – especially in Tribal communities. That’s why I introduced legislation with @murray.senate.gov to improve food assistance programs for Tribal families and ensure that they can afford to keep food on the table.
Donald Trump is raking in cash as president while his policies are raising costs on the rest of us.
As a former Scout, I am always excited to welcome Girl Scouts from Nevada to our nation’s capital. I hope you all have a wonderful time and a safe journey back home!
Trump’s tariff taxes are going to raise the cost of building materials for houses, raise grocery costs, and drive even more potential visitors away from our country – hurting workers that count on tourism in states like Nevada. That’s what Donald Trump’s actions mean for us.
Two bills I wrote are now law as part of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act: one to reauthorize, reform, and expand the HOME program that helps build affordable homes across the country, and another to invest in our manufactured home communities.
It’s a dry heat – but it’s still dangerous, especially for construction workers, farm workers, and others working outside. These workers should be able to count on common sense protections like paid breaks in cooled spaces and adequate access to water, so I introduced a bill to make it the law.
Manufactured homes are an affordable, accessible option for tens of thousands of Nevada families to keep a roof over their heads. Thanks to my PRICE program, these Nevadans can access federal resources to replace outdated homes, improve their communities, and upgrade critical infrastructure. (1/2)
I wrote the bill to create commemorative coins for America’s 250th celebration. The intent was to celebrate our country’s history and moments – like the abolitionist movement, the Civil Rights Movement, and Women’s Suffrage – when we fought and achieved a more perfect union together. (1/2)
I fought to put a stop to Wall Street buying up Nevadans homes, and we got it passed into law.
I wrote legislation to prevent any administration from putting a living president on American coins to stop ridiculous vanity projects like these. President Trump is not a king. His face doesn’t belong on our coins.
The average cost of a home in Nevada has gone through the roof, and it’s become unaffordable for too many working families. I worked on legislation to bring those costs back down, and I’m proud to say it’s finally become law.
In case you missed it: as part of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, we passed legislation to stop Wall Street from buying up Nevadans’ homes and raising costs. Now, I’m proud to say it’s the law of the land.
I’m always inspired when I get the chance to hear from Nevada students. They are our future, and I am excited to see them achieve the success they have earned.
In just six months, Senate Republicans’ Medicaid cuts will go into effect across the country with new rules that could kick millions of sick Americans off their coverage. All of this pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
Remember: A year ago, Donald Trump signed legislation that will kick millions of Americans off Medicaid – including people with disabilities – while giving billions of dollars in tax breaks for his ultra-wealthy friends. Those are Trump and Congressional Republicans’ priorities.
While the Trump Admin. tries to cut key funding for housing, I’m working in the Senate to protect Stead Manor and communities like it that put affordable rent within reach for so many Nevadans. (2/2)
Great to see federal resources being put to work at Stead Manor to upgrade these affordable homes, remove asbestos, and improve the community. (1/2)
I just finished a wonderful hike with scouts and family members from Girl Scouts of the Sierra Nevada for the Fourth of July - the Thomas Creek Trail is beautiful, check it out if you haven’t yet!
Earlier today, I had the honor of helping to welcome new Americans to citizenship. The road to today has been long for many of those who took the oath today, but they pushed through because they love this country – just like generations before us. Good luck to all of you!
Immigrants from all over the world have come to the United States, worked hard, and driven our country to become the greatest nation in the world. That is the vision our Founders had for this country – it is who we are – and we can never forget it.
Americans have waited long enough for action to lower housing costs. Republicans and Democrats came together on a bill that will help working families afford their homes. Donald Trump needs to get out of the way of lower costs for Americans.
I was sounding the alarm for weeks before Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” that his reckless tariffs would hurt our economy. He went ahead with these job-killing blanket taxes, and American workers are paying the price.
Trump’s war of choice is driving up costs for Nevada families and making it harder for workers to make ends meet. But it’s obvious he doesn’t care.
Don’t let Trump shirk responsibility – it’s because of his refusal to sign bipartisan housing legislation that action to lower housing costs is being held up. This bill was passed almost unanimously in Congress. He needs to get out of the way of bringing costs down for families.
The Supreme Court's decision today rubber-stamps Trump's lawless attack on TPS and vulnerable families across the country. Let me be clear: I will not stop fighting to defend Nevadans, including TPS holders.
Donald Trump wants tens of billions more of our tax dollars for his war of choice in Iran? Absolutely not.
The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act should be law right now. We should be talking about how we're going to build more homes and lower costs. But Donald Trump has once again put his ego ahead of what's right for America. So we have a message for him: sign the bill, now.
In the four years since Roe was overturned, the chaos and uncertainty created by anti-choice Republicans’ war on reproductive freedom has caused serious harm to women all across the country. Kaitlyn's story is a harrowing example of the challenges women are facing.
Absolutely ridiculous. We were minutes away from signing into law a bill that would lower housing costs for struggling Americans, then President Trump threw a tantrum and didn't even show up. This bill has nearly unanimous support. Trump needs to grow up and sign it now.
