Donald Trump Wednesday announced on his social media site that the “process will begin immediately” to resume testing of nuclear weapons. “Absolutely not. I’ll be introducing legislation to put a stop to this,” Nevada Democratic U.S. Rep. Dina Titus responded on social media. “This directly contradicts the commitments I secured from Trump nominees — and […]

Relax. It’s just a “public education campaign.”  That’s how some construction-related unions innocently describe how they’ll spend the million dollars they say they’ve raised to help pass the film tax credit bill state lawmakers are poised to consider in a special legislative session. The unions’ money isn’t meant to be spent on next year’s election […]

On August 24th, Nevadans woke up to several key government sites having gone dark – taken offline by a massive cyber attack. The cyber attack ended up crippling several critical services like the Department of Motor Vehicles for over a week, and the full extent of the data that was compromised is still unknown as […]

The film tax credit legislation promising to be the featured attraction in an upcoming special session of the Nevada Legislature is a Democratic bill. Both sponsors of the bill, which failed in the waning hours of the regular legislative session earlier this year, are Democrats. One of them chairs the Nevada State Democratic Party.  So […]

In June 2025, the Nevada Legislature passed A.B. 376, a bill that could fundamentally reshape Nevada’s property insurance system.

For the first time ever the price of an ounce of gold went above $4,000 this week. The price has shot up by 50% since the start of the year.  Bitcoin’s a cyberslacker by comparison. It’s only gone up 30% year-to-date. Gold’s skyrocketing price has even outpaced the ballooning (some say bubbling) price of Nvidia […]

When a judge this week disqualified Trump-appointee Sigal Chattah from prosecuting cases for the Nevada U.S. Attorney’s office, it produced something Chattah has obviously wished long and hard for: national headlines. But while no one can deny Chattah has been an energetically performative public figure, one would be hard-pressed to describe her as a consequential […]

“We are the hottest country anywhere in the world, and there is no other country even close,” because “America is blessed with the strongest economy,” Donald Trump told delegates to the United Nations earlier this week. “Under my leadership,” Trump gushed, “grocery prices are down,” and “growth is surging.” “This,” Trump proclaimed, “is indeed the […]

Talk tough on crime and immigration, don’t say trans, and sit back and let Trump’s economy make voters mad. That’s the way to Make Democrats Great Again, or so say the roughly eleventy-nine Democratic-allied centrist political action committees and think tanks, some old, many new, who promise they know how to right (pun intended) the […]

Nevada has filed for approval to spend $322 million in federal funding to bring broadband to an estimated 50,000 homes, businesses, and institutions in Nevada that currently lack access to reliable high-speed internet. Nevada filed a final Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) proposal to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), the governor’s office […]
