@Culinary226 @RepHorsford @LindaForNevada Did her employer pay her to participate in this event? You never answer that question that has been asked over multiple events you post. Why are you afraid to answer the question?

Culinary Union hosted a No Taxes on Tips event with @RepHorsford for hundreds of tipped-earner union members. 👤 @LindaForNevada, Assemblymember for District 17, food server, Shop Steward, & Culinary Union member, shared why No Taxes On Tips federal law falls short.

@RepSusieLee Have you gone insane? Your posts are increasingly becoming non-sensical. Do you really hate Trump as much as you post about him? Incredible.,.

The Republicans’ Big Bullshit Budget Law gave tax breaks to billionaires at the expense of working people.  Republicans in Washington forced through health care cuts that will hit Nevada hard. I’m fighting to reverse these cuts and make health care affordable for thousands of Nevadans ⬇️ nevadacurrent.com/2026/03/24/bea…

What a lovely country. Kills 40000 citizens who protest, fully educates girls through the sixth grade, publicly executes athletes who represent them, launches missiles for years at people, executes women who are raped and not the assailants, punishes women who don’t cover themselves from head to toe, and chants Death to America. What a beautiful peaceful message he has.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's letter to the American people: In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful To the people of the United States of America, and to all those who, amid a flood of distortions and manufactured narratives, continue to seek the truth and aspire to a better life: Iran — by this very name, character, and identity — is one of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history. Despite its historical and geographical advantages at various times, Iran has never, in its modern history, chosen the path of aggression, expansion, colonialism, or domination. Even after enduring occupation, invasion, and sustained pressure from global powers — and despite possessing military superiority over many of its neighbors — Iran has never initiated a war. Yet it has resolutely and bravely repelled those who have attacked it. The Iranian people harbor no enmity toward other nations, including the people of America, Europe, or neighboring countries. Even in the face of repeated foreign interventions and pressures throughout their proud history, Iranians have consistently drawn a clear distinction between governments and the peoples they govern. This is a deeply rooted principle in Iranian culture and collective consciousness-not a temporary political stance. For this reason, portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts. Such a perception is the product of political and economic whims of the powerful — the need to manufacture an enemy in order to justify pressure, maintain military dominance, sustain the arms industry, and control strategic markets. In such an environment, if a threat does not exist, it is invented. Within this same framework, the United States has concentrated the largest number of its forces, bases, and military capabilities around Iran—a country that, at least since the founding of the United States, has never initiated a war. Recent American aggressions launched from these very bases have demonstrated how threatening such a military presence truly is. Naturally, no country confronted with such conditions would forgo strengthening its defensive capabilities. What Iran has done — and continues to do — is a measured response grounded in legitimate self-defense, and by no means an initiation of war or aggression. Relations between Iran and the United States were not originally hostile, and early interactions between the Iranian and American people were not marred with hostility or tension. The turning point, however, was the 1953 coup d'état-an illegal American intervention aimed at preventing the nationalization of Iran's own resources. That coup disrupted Iran's democratic process, reinstated dictatorship, and sowed deep distrust among Iranians toward U.S. policies. This distrust deepened further with America's support for the Shah's regime, its backing of Saddam Hussein during the imposed war of the 1980s, the imposition of the longest and most comprehensive sanctions in modern history, and ultimately, unprovoked military aggression — twice, in the midst of negotiations — against Iran. Yet all these pressures have failed to weaken Iran. On the contrary, the country has grown stronger in many areas: literacy rates have tripled-from roughly 30% before the Islamic Revolution to over 90% today; higher education has expanded dramatically; significant advances have been achieved in modern technology; healthcare services have improved; and infrastructure has developed at a pace and scale incomparable to the past. These are measurable, observable realities that stand independent of fabricated narratives. At the same time, the destructive and inhumane impact of sanctions, war, and aggression on the lives of the resilient Iranian people must not be underestimated. The continuation of military aggression and recent bombings profoundly affect people's lives, attitudes, and perspectives. This reflects a fundamental human truth: when war inflicts irreparable harm on lives, homes, cities, and futures, people will not remain indifferent toward those responsible. This raises a fundamental question: Exactly which of the American people's interests are truly being served by this war? Was there any objective threat from Iran to justify such behavior? Does the massacre of innocent children, the destruction of cancer-treatment pharmaceutical facilities, or boasting about bombing a country "back to the stone ages" serve any purpose other than further damaging the United States' global standing? Iran pursued negotiations, reached an agreement, and fulfilled all its commitments. The decision to withdraw from that agreement, escalate toward confrontation, and launch two acts of aggression in the midst of negotiations were destructive choices made by the U.S. government-choices that served the delusions of a foreign aggressor. Attacking Iran's vital infrastructure-including energy and industrial facilities-directly targets the Iranian people. Beyond constituting a war crime, such actions carry consequences that extend far beyond Iran's borders. They generate instability, increase human and economic costs, and perpetuate cycles of tension, planting seeds of resentment that will endure for years. This is not a demonstration of strength; it is a sign of strategic bewilderment and an inability to achieve a sustainable solution. Is it not also the case that America has entered this aggression as a proxy for Israel, influenced and manipulated by that regime? Is it not true that Israel, by manufacturing an Iranian threat, seeks to divert global attention away from its crimes toward the Palestinians? Is it not evident that Israel now aims to fight Iran to the last American soldier and the last American taxpayer dollar-shifting the burden of its delusions onto Iran, the region, and the United States itself in pursuit of illegitimate interests? Is "America First" truly among the priorities of the U.S. government today? I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation — an integral part of this aggression — and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants-educated in Iran-who now teach and conduct research at the world's most prestigious universities, or contribute to the most advanced technology firms in the West. Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people? Today, the world stands at crossroads. Continuing along the path of confrontation is more costly and futile than ever before. The choice between confrontation and engagement is both real and consequential; its outcome will shape the future for generations to come. Throughout its millennia of proud history, Iran has outlasted many aggressors. All that remains of them are tarnished names in history, while Iran endures — resilient, dignified, and proud.

@Culinary226 Hoping your benefits include mental health coverage as well. May be very valuable to some members!

🏳️‍⚧️ Culinary Union is proud to celebrate #TransgenderDayOfVisibility! Culinary Union members, through their Culinary Health Fund benefits, have coverage for gender confirmation hormone therapy, surgery, and counseling services for individuals seeking to transition.

@RepSusieLee Hurray! Democrats are FINALLY learning what a woman is! Hope you internalize this learning for America's sake.

This Women’s History Month, I want to honor all the amazing mothers out there. My own mom, Joan Kelley, raised 8 kids with so much compassion, grit, love, fairness, selflessness ❤️

@repdinatitus Why make more new laws when you don't support following existing laws and funding govt agencies to enforce those laws, eg, immigration? Very hypocritical of you.

Glad to see so many of my colleagues jumping on my push, H.R. 7477 introduced on February 10, 2026, to ban prediction markets from sports betting. congress.gov/bill/119th-con…

@SenCortezMasto You only push following the law when it suits you. You push breaking the law by supporting illegal aliens when it helps you. What is your position, follow all laws or not? Seems very hypocritical of you.

The problem here is simple. Prediction market companies are violating the law to run illegal sports gambling operations and Trump's "regulators" are looking the other way. Congress needs to act to reinforce the law and prevent corruption.

@Culinary226 Do the employers of these people pay them to attend union meetings?

✊ Culinary Union fights & wins for working families. We're fighting for the next generation as Culinary Union members organize everyday. Check out what happened!

A record warm March has melted an already abysmal snowpack across the western United States, with impacts clearly visible in satellite imagery. It’s setting the stage for an especially concerning summer season for a region critically dependent on mountain snow. cnn.it/41uKSQg

@LasVegasLocally The Las Vegas Hound Dogs, The Vegas Blue Suede, or the Vegas Jailhouse Rockers.

What should be the name of the new Las Vegas NBA team?

@SenJackyRosen @DHSgov @TSA Jacky working on defunding the police again.

@DHSgov @TSA Republicans are lying through their teeth. I tried to pass a bill to pay TSA agents last week, and Republicans blocked it! Just watch:

TRAVEL NIGHTMARE. The American People are paying the price for the Democrats’ DHS shutdown. Across the country, travelers are facing HOURS long wait times at airports and our @TSA officers are being forced to work without pay.   Democrats must END the shutdown, fund DHS, and pay our TSA agents.

@SenJackyRosen @PressSec Democrats new “Defund The Police” policy platform.

@PressSec Republicans are lying through their teeth. I tried to pass a bill to pay TSA agents last week, and Republicans blocked it! Just watch:

The Democrats need to reopen the Department of Homeland Security immediately and end their reckless shutdown. Intentionally hurting innocent American travelers and depriving federal workers of their paychecks is deeply wrong.

@RepStenyHoyer @HouseDemocrats The new "Defund The Police" tactic from the democrats. Beware.

Republicans continue to block legislation that would fund TSA, the Coast Guard, and other law-abiding agencies within DHS. This shutdown is on them. @HouseDemocrats remain firm: we must rein in ICE & CBP and reopen the other DHS agencies. I urge my colleagues across the aisle to end the pain they are inflicting on our federal workers and the American people, and to sign our discharge petition now.

@SenCortezMasto Laken Riley wasn't a criminal...

Juan Sebastian Chavez Velasco's nine month old daughter is in the hospital, but he can't be with her because he's been detained by Trump's ICE.

@mtgreenee You and Joe, 2 peas in a pod. Both of you are leakers and quitters.

Joe Kent tells Tucker Iran was not on the verge of developing a nuclear bomb. This is Iraq all over again. We should not be fighting this war, we should be putting America FIRST!!!

Rolling back pollution protections may be framed as saving money, but the real costs of climate change are already hitting American families, including higher insurance premiums, rising utility bills, and disaster recovery costs. nevadacurrent.com/2026/02/20/tru…

@SenatorWarnock It's the new "Defund The Police" strategy from the democrats.

Senate Republicans just blocked my bill that would have paid TSA workers. My Republican colleagues are saying that if you don't give the President's overgrown paramilitary force of masked agents more money, they're going to leave TSA workers and others unpaid. I think that's patently unfair.

@repdinatitus @DHSgov @TSA @fema The new "Defund The Police" strategy.

I just signed a discharge petition to force a vote on a bill I helped lead that would fund every aspect of @DHSgov except ICE. This would ensure that our @TSA workers receive a paycheck, that the Coast Guard can return to normal operations, and that @FEMA grants can be distributed, all while we continue to negotiate proper guardrails to rein in ICE.

@SenJackyRosen @DHSgov New policy platform from her called “Defund The Police”.

@DHSgov Republicans are lying through their teeth. I tried to pass a bill to pay TSA agents last week, and Republicans blocked it! Just watch:

Democrats are once again forcing our TSA agents to work without pay for the THIRD time in six months — including in Baltimore, where many agents and their families are being forced to live off of food drives. This is disgraceful: Democrats must stop holding the paychecks of our TSA officers hostage and REOPEN DHS.

@SenJackyRosen She’s back with “Defund the Police” as her platform. Incredible lack of memory from a few years ago.

Your daily reminder: Senate Republicans blocked my bill to pay TSA agents and prevent long lines like this one.
