Like a nation printing money without restraint, our political system has made so many withdrawals from the bank of moral indignation that inflation has rendered each new expression nearly worthless. 

As Democrats take uneven steps toward rebuilding — with differing opinions across the party about how often to challenge Trump and some voters calling for candidates willing to fight — Cortez Masto wants moderate senators to lead the charge.

Like clockwork, the Federal Election Commission first quarter fundraising deadline came this week, reminding elected officials (and tired journalists) that the 2026 cycle is officially underway.

Members had different strategies for tackling their recess week, from town halls to roundtables to a massive Las Vegas rally with the two most famous people in left-wing politics: Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

President Donald Trump returned to Las Vegas on Saturday for his first rally since retaking the presidency, touting his first week in office and describing his return to the White House as “liberation day.”

Several bills bearing Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s (D-NV), Sen. Jacky Rosen’s (D-NV) and Rep. Susie Lee’s (D-NV) name passed through Congress at the buzzer this week, either already signed into law by the president or in the queue for his signature.

Most Nevada progressive groups are backing Biden’s re-election — but not with direct endorsements — and are banking on young voters thinking Biden better serves their future, a strategy that could face challenges.

Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) introduced a bill today to create a federal grant program to fund the expunging or sealing of state-level cannabis offenses — using federal dollars to achieve a goal of legislative Democrats who passed a similar bill in 2023 but were stymied by Gov.

Ben Wessel, the executive director of the progressive advocacy group NextGen America, told reporters on Thursday that young people's advocacy, voter mobilization on social media and youth organizer efforts helped spur the highest turnout of youth voters the country has ever seen — even surpassing the surge of young voters in 2008.

Organizers say youth enthusiasm they see on the ground over the 2020 election defies the story data might tell — that young people historically have participated at the lowest rate of any age group. But they’re doing all they can to translate interest into action ahead of Election Day.

In the absence of a statewide race at the top of Nevada’s 2020 ballot, many eyes have fallen to a pair of competitive congressional races that could play a role in deciding which party takes control of the House come November.

As the presidential caucus has drifted into the past and with no statewide offices up for grabs in 2020, a pair of hotly contested congressional primaries on June 9 may draw battle lines for the coming push by the major parties to take or keep control of the House in November.
