Dina Titus, a U.S. Congress member representing Nevada's 1st District since 2013, has shared her views on various issues through recent social media posts. Titus, who succeeded Shelley Berkley in this role and previously served in the Nevada Senate from 1988 to 2008, continues to engage with constituents on critical topics.

On March 12, 2025, Titus criticized former President Donald Trump's policies regarding the Department of Education. She stated that "Trump’s outrageous attack on @usedgov will stifle learning, undermine teachers, and cause us to fall further behind in the competitive global marketplace."

Later that day, she raised concerns about sports betting taxes. In a post made at 15:36 UTC, Titus revealed her inquiry to the IRS about tax revenues from sports betting. She reported that "I asked @IRSnews where the money from the excise tax on sports betting went. They told me they didn’t know! It’s time to repeal this outdated tax which only helps the illegal market offer better odds to consumers."

In another announcement on March 12 at 20:00 UTC, Titus opened applications for summer internships in her Washington D.C. and Las Vegas offices. She expressed a search for candidates who are dedicated and possess strong communication skills as well as an interest in public service. The tweet read: "The application for Summer 2025 internships in my Washington, DC and Las Vegas offices is open. We are looking for hardworking candidates with great communications skills, a passion for public service, and an interest in serving the people of Nevada’s First District.…"
