After failing to pass most of his legislative agenda during Nevada’s biennial session, Governor Joe Lombardo now wants taxpayers to foot the bill for a special session. Despite setting a record for the most vetoed bills, Lombardo seeks to pass legislation previously defeated by his own party, including an unpopular film tax credit bill.

House Republicans on the Ways & Means Committee are holding a hearing in Las Vegas today to promote the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Instead of celebration, they are being met with frustration from community members. Battle Born Progress secured a mobile billboard that will circulate the area where the hearing is taking place.

Today, Senate Majority Leader Cannizzaro, educators, and former students came together to slam the U.S. Department of Education and the Trump Administration for holding up over $60 million in federal funding for Nevada schools. Speakers discussed the impact this will have on specific programs, such as after-school activities and the English language learner support currently offered.

Nevada schools are set to lose over $60 million in funding, being held up by the Trump Administration.

House Republicans have passed their major reconciliation bill, which includes historic cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. These cuts fund tax breaks for wealthy individuals in the most significant transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top in recent decades. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates the measure will add trillions of dollars to the national debt. The bill was passed in the Senate on July 1, 2025, and now it goes to President Trump's desk for his signature.

Today, the U.S. Senate passed the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ that will drastically affect Americans. Despite concerns from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office about the bill adding substantially to the deficit and stripping millions of Americans of healthcare and food assistance, the measure passed 51 to 50 with Vice President Vance voting to break a tie. Nevada Senators Cortez Masto and Rosen voted no, recognizing the impact these disastrous cuts will have on Nevadans.
