Dina Titus, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Nevada’s 1st district, has expressed concerns and initiatives through a series of tweets on March 18, 2025. Titus, who succeeded Shelley Berkley in 2013 and has been active in legislative matters, shared her views on various issues affecting her constituents and broader national policies.

In a tweet posted at 15:30 UTC, Titus commented on the recent downturn in the hospitality industry. She attributed this decline to policies enacted by former President Trump, stating that these measures have led both domestic and international travelers to reconsider their plans to visit the United States.

Later that day, at 17:20:38 UTC, Titus addressed healthcare policy changes proposed by Republicans. She criticized cuts to Medicaid which she argued would strip thousands of Nevadans of their healthcare coverage. Moreover, she noted that these cuts would not suffice to balance out tax breaks for billionaires without significantly increasing the deficit. Her statement is available here.

On the same day at 19:19:47 UTC, Dina Titus announced her collaboration with Congressman Guy Reschenthaler in reintroducing the SLOT Act. This legislation aims to adjust the reporting threshold for slot machine winnings from $1,200 to $5,000 while tying it to inflation rates. Titus emphasized that this measure intends to streamline IRS paperwork for gaming businesses and players alike. More details are found here.
