Dina Titus, U.S. Congresswoman representing Nevada’s 1st district, posted a series of tweets on January 6, 2026, addressing federal cannabis policy, arms control agreements with Russia, and the reliability of prediction markets.
In her first tweet at 21:57 UTC, Titus called for the next director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy to prioritize evidence-based decision-making in federal cannabis regulation. She wrote: “The new @ONDCP Director must commit to common-sense, evidence-based cannabis policy. That includes supporting marijuana de-scheduling and fully implementing my Evidence-Based Drug Policy Act so that federal decisions are guided by science, not stigma.”
Later that evening at 23:12 UTC, Titus highlighted concerns about nuclear arms control between the United States and Russia as an important treaty neared expiration. She stated: “The last remaining U.S.-Russia arms control agreement expires in just one month. The 2010 New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) limits both the United States and Russia to 700 deployed strategic-range nuclear delivery vehicles and 1,550 warheads on those vehicles.”
At 23:35 UTC, she commented on issues within online prediction markets. Her tweet read: “Well, look at that. @Polymarket is having yet another semantics issue and scamming bettors. Prediction markets continue to prove that they are unreliable and promote unfair, discriminatory practices that are virtually unregulated.”
Titus has served in Congress since replacing Shelley Berkley in 2013 and previously spent two decades in the Nevada Senate from 1988 to 2008. Born in Thomasville, Georgia in 1950 and currently residing in Las Vegas, she earned her undergraduate degree from the College of William & Mary in 1970.
