Nevada has been safely regulating cannabis for years. Rescheduling medical cannabis at the national level is a step in the right direction, but we still need to do more to correct outdated cannabis policies on a federal level, and I’ll keep working across party lines in the Senate to do so.

It was a beautiful night in St. Paul at the Harriet Island Pavilion for Mayor Kaohly Her's Inaugural Celebration, with a fitting theme of “Rising Together.” As St. Paul’s first woman and Hmong American mayor, she is making history.

The Trump Admin has been slow walking DACA renewal and work permit processing. Now it is paving the way for them to be deported even before their DACA expires. Congress must finally act to protect these young people who know no other home. This is a matter of simple American fairness & justice.

Many Americans can’t afford health care and housing. Yet Trump can’t even stay awake at his own “affordability” event. We need to get serious about lowering costs.

We need a budget that PROTECTS OUR PUBLIC LANDS. Trump is planning to cut 3,000 National Park staff–and this is after a quarter of staff were pushed out ALREADY. I told Secretary Burgum that’s a recipe for disaster and I’ll be throwing Trump’s budget right in the trash and writing a new one.

Clean energy remains cheaper than fossil, and Trump’s war on clean energy (to help his fossil fuel donors) will keep hiking customer electricity costs.

The Trump Admin admits that its projections of how many tourists would come to the US after he took office were way off. Now World Cup fans are picking games in Mexico & Canada over the U.S. & it’s not hard to guess why. He is driving people away and hurting our economy.

You and your neighbors should not be subsidizing the electricity needs of a data center run by a trillion-dollar corporation. My Power for the People Act would force Big Tech to pay for their own power needs. We should pass it today to protect consumers from rising costs NOW.

This President tells us every day that no election is free and fair unless HE wins. Well, that's not how it works in America, no matter how many tantrums he throws. Trump lost the 2020 election. That will never change and I have zero intention of letting him rewrite history.

Gas prices and energy prices are SURGING. Trump wants to totally defund programs that help drive down costs. Meanwhile, his Energy Secretary has NO solution to bring down gas prices other than "it's Biden's fault." I guess I missed the part where Joe Biden declared war on Iran.
