The Trump Administration is using ICE and Border Patrol funding to target DACA recipients, despite their protected status, and intimidate immigrant communities. Now, Republican leaders are pushing to give Trump even more funding for this cruel and un-American agenda.

Today, Senate Republicans are once again attempting to hand Donald Trump a check for tens of billions of dollars for his mass deportation agenda. They're not focused on helping Americans, or even willing to protect our basic rights. It's shameful.

The Trump Admin. has recklessly sent the deficit skyrocketing, so I pressed Scott Bessent on his original goal to bring the deficit down to 3% of GDP. His answer? Nonsense.

Donald Trump sued his own IRS, and then got a sweetheart deal that protects him, his family, and his companies from ever being audited. To me, that sounds like corrupt special treatment.

Happy Pride, Nevada!

Without my legislation, building a new water pipeline to serve Southern Nevada could have cost $200 million more and created serious disruptions for local residents and businesses. I’m proud to have passed legislation that will save Nevadans’ tax dollars and protect our water infrastructure.

Thanks to federal resources I secured, the Reno Airport is getting a new firefighting vehicle! Our firefighters count on equipment like this to protect travelers and workers, and I will always be proud to work on their behalf in the Senate.

In case you missed it, the Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area is about to grow by 9,000 acres thanks to legislation I just got signed into law! My bill will ensure that we protect even more of this critical desert ecosystem alongside critical improvements to our water infrastructure.

Trump’s “weaponization” fund is so corrupt, Republican leaders postponed their planned votes today to avoid having to answer for it. It’s time for all of us, including Republicans in Congress, to stand up against the historic corruption of this Administration. @donlemonofficial.bsky.social

Our voice is our power. That’s why Donald Trump and Republican leaders are trying so hard to suppress Americans’ votes in the upcoming elections. But we can fight, and we can win, by keeping up our efforts and standing up for our rights and freedoms in this country.

Trump wants a billion dollars for a golden ballroom while Americans are struggling to even put food on the table because of his policies. It’s just unbelievable.

This Administration is going after Dreamers, creating chaos in our communities, and violating our basic rights. Now, Senate Republicans want to give them tens of billions of dollars more. Americans have had enough.

“Trump said DACA recipients would be safe. That’s not true.” That’s what Stephanie told me when her husband, a DACA recipient, was detained despite his protected status and separated from his family. Stories like this are happening across the country, and they need to be told.

8 1

Trump's slush fund, his ballroom, all of these billions of taxpayer dollars that he's siphoning off for his own use - this is just the most corrupt administration I have ever seen. And we have to hold them accountable.

Last night, my bill to build a new water pipeline for the Las Vegas Valley and expand conservation in Sloan Canyon was signed into law! Now we can improve the reliability of our water system and protect the water supply for nearly half of our residents and businesses for generations to come.

A reminder that Senate Republicans voted last week to protect big corporations that put illegal clauses in their contracts and terms of service.

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.

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.

You shouldn't have to sign away your rights to open a credit card or take out a loan. That's why @democrats.senate.gov and I took over the Senate floor to reinstate commonsense protections against companies including illegal terms in their fine print.

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller aren't simply ignoring DACA renewals. They are strategically slowing down application processing so Dreamers will lose their status and become targets for their deportation scheme. It's evil, frankly, and it is not who we are as a country.

Americans have paid over $28 billion more for gas since Trump began his war in Iran. And that’s not even counting the price hikes on everything that needs to be trucked to stores across America.

Because of Trump’s policies and offensive rhetoric, tourists from Canada and other countries are choosing not to come to the United States. That’s not just a number in a report, our small businesses and workers here in Nevada are seeing it every day.

Senate Democrats stopped Trump’s SAVE America Act by making it clear how harmful this voter suppression bill would be to citizens. This is a victory for Nevadans, and now I'm focused on continuing to protect our state from Trump's attempts to silence our voices.

DACA made it possible for children who were brought to America through no choice of their own to go to school, start careers, and build their lives in the country they call home.

I want Dreamers to know that Nevadans, and Americans, of every background and faith are standing with you. We are tired of the bad policies, the racism, and the hate from the Trump Administration, and we are pushing back.

15 3

Recently, the Trump Admin. announced a decision that makes it easier to deport DACA recipients despite their protected status. These are individuals who have only ever known America as their home. They grew up here, and they deserve to continue to work and build their lives here.

Glad to spend some time today at Bob Price Park to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with our Mexican-American Community. Thank you as always to my friend, Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick for hosting this wonderful event!

Here's the full story: Nevada has the smallest allotment from the Colorado River, but we have been so effective at conservation that we don't use all of it - even with how fast we have grown.

It doesn’t matter where you live in the Silver State – every family deserves good schools, safe roads, and local services they can count on. That’s why I support the Secure Rural Schools program that is bringing $4.5 million to Nevada this year for our rural communities.

RFK Jr. claims he wants to make Americans healthier. But at every opportunity, he's gone along with the Trump Admin.'s moves to gut access to health care.

3 3

The reforms Americans want from Trump's ICE and CBP are not radical, they're about protecting our basic rights. Senate Republicans should be working with us on these commonsense reforms instead of jamming through another blank check for Trump to terrorize our communities.

Gas prices are rising because of Trump's war of choice in Iran. But that is not an excuse for oil companies to illegally profiteer off the backs of hardworking Nevadans. My legislation is about preventing illegal price gouging and helping Nevadans struggling with soaring costs.

Boulder City Hospital's leadership have been crystal clear: they are having to cut services and lay off workers because of Trump and Republicans' Medicaid cuts. I asked RFK Jr. what he's doing to protect rural communities like ours in Nevada. Once again, he had no real answers.

11 10

Trump pardoned a fraudster who stole over $205 million from Medicare. RFK Jr. is supposed to be fighting this kind of fraud and abuse of the programs he manages - so I asked him what he's doing about it:

Kevin Warsh was warned about the risks of predatory mortgages. He said subprime assets were getting a "bad name," and said he had no regrets about his time on the Fed Board during the 2008 crisis. Why should Americans trust him to be Chairman of the Federal Reserve now?

278 84

Let’s recap: the SAVE America Act would require states like Nevada to turn over voters’ data to Trump’s DHS. Then, the Trump Admin. gets to decide who they want states to remove from the voter rolls.

Gas prices "are not very high," from the man who has probably never pumped his own gas. What a joke. Numbers don’t lie.

Jahasiel had DACA status and no criminal record, but the Trump Admin. detained him anyway while he was on his way to work. To be frank, it’s cruel.

Costs are rising while key Nevada industries like tourism and travel are being harmed by the Trump Administration's policies. Yesterday evening, I spoke directly to Nevadans about the impacts on our state and some of the work I'm doing to protect working families.

From his blanket tariffs and rhetoric to his reckless mismanagement of our economy, Donald Trump has made it harder for working Nevadans to get ahead.

2 2

Trump campaigned in Nevada promising to lower costs for our families. He has done just the opposite. Now he’s back, and he wants to try and sell his failures. But Nevadans can see the disastrous impacts of his policies all around us.

We all saw this coming the minute Elon Musk's DOGE was allowed to access taxpayer databases. Trump's IRS and Social Security have recklessly exposed Americans' private data, and we deserve answers about what they're doing to fix it.

It’s always the same with Donald Trump: promises made, promises broken.

The longer we stay in Trump’s foreign war of choice, the more it costs. That’s billions that could be used to make working families’ lives better.

14 3

Trump’s war in Iran is STILL raising costs when families can least afford it. The money spent on this ridiculous war could be spent reversing his disastrous Medicaid cuts instead.

11 2

When DHS delays processing DACA renewals, families like Stephanie and Juan's suffer. Juan is exactly the kind of hardworking family man we want in our country. The Trump Admin. took him from his family anyway.

DACA recipients have been targets of Trump’s cruel immigration enforcement. Yesterday, we heard their stories.     It’s unacceptable how the Trump Administration treats DACA recipients and other immigrants who contribute to our communities, want a good life for their families, and love this country.

To pay for his foreign war of choice, Trump just proposed even more cuts to food assistance, housing, and health care. President Trump’s budget puts working families last.

8 7

Thanks to Trump’s foreign war of choice in Iran, gas prices keep climbing higher and higher. The BILLIONS spent on this war could have been used to help lower health care costs for families and seniors. What happened to his promise to lower costs?

13 3

I wrote legislation to divert Trump’s “Board of Peace” slush fund and assist working American families pay their power bills. The President doesn’t need another billion dollars to do who knows what with – it’s time to put Americans first.

Every Senator agreed this morning to the straightforward proposal I have been calling for since February: pay TSA, fund FEMA, fund the Coast Guard - but no funding for Trump's immigration operations without reforms to stop the abuses he's enabled.

Senate Republicans had the opportunity yesterday to undo some of the damage they have done to working families by repealing a Trump job-killing IRS regulation. They voted to keep energy costs higher.

Donald Trump doesn't even believe his own lies about mail-in voting. But that isn't stopping him from pushing legislation like the "SAVE America Act" to make it harder for you to vote and hold him accountable.

15 10

The SAVE America Act forces states to submit their voter rolls to a DHS program that has a history of flagging eligible U.S. citizens for removal with little to no explanation. You may not realize your state removed you until election day. And to reregister, you'll need documents you may not have.
