Dina Titus, a U.S. Congress member representing Nevada’s 1st district since 2013, shared her ongoing commitments and observations through a series of tweets on November 16, 2024. Titus, who has been active in public service since her tenure in the Nevada Senate from 1988 to 2008, continues to engage with significant social issues.

In a tweet posted at 02:07:52 UTC, Titus expressed her dedication to advocating for the transgender community. She stated, "I’ll continue to fight for the trans community and everyone’s right to live without fear of violence or discrimination this #TransgenderAwarenessWeek and beyond."

Later that day, at 17:09:00 UTC, Titus commented on the reduction in U.S. drug overdose deaths by 14.5% this year. She attributed this decrease to efforts by the Biden Administration in combating the opioid crisis, noting their role in "removing barriers to treatment and making overdose reversal medications more accessible."

At 20:16:00 UTC, Titus highlighted an event attended by #TeamTitus — the grand opening of the African Development Center (ADC) of Nevada. She remarked on ADC's potential impact on over 150,000 African immigrants in Nevada by helping them overcome financial stability barriers.
