Dina Titus, a U.S. Congresswoman representing Nevada's 1st district, has expressed her views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets. Titus, who has been serving in Congress since 2013 after replacing Shelley Berkley, addressed topics ranging from nuclear waste storage to immigration policy and federal funding for essential services.

On January 29, 2025, Dina Titus stated that "Nevadans have spoken: We do not want nuclear waste stored in our state." She emphasized her leadership in legislation aimed at stopping the proposed Yucca Mountain repository and asserted the importance of allowing Nevada residents to have a say in their future. The tweet can be accessed here.

Later that day, Titus criticized the Department of Homeland Security's decision to rescind Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans. She described the move as "cruel," highlighting that "these people came here legally to escape Maduro’s oppressive regime" and stressing the risks they face if forced to return. Her remarks are available here.

In another post made on January 30, 2025, Titus addressed concerns about federal funding for essential programs. She assured that "federal funding will continue for now," but warned that these programs remain vulnerable. She pledged to speak out against any threats from former President Trump toward essential services. This statement can be found here.
