Former Pres. Donald Trump, who has attempted to distance himself from Project 2025, an authoritarian blueprint for the next conservative U.S. presidency, would be hard pressed to find any daylight between his immigration policy and that advocated by Project 2025.

In Las Vegas, ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft, and short-term rental apps like Airbnb have changed — really changed — the landscape for taxi companies and, perhaps, hotels. In July 2014, for instance, the Nevada Taxicab Authority said cab drivers gave more than 2 million rides to customers. In July of this year, that was down about 50% to around a million riders. A big question, though, is if things are changing back. And there’s some evidence indicating that it might be doing just that.
