UNLV political science professor Rebecca Gill breaks down the deal to end the government shutdown.

President Donald Trump has been pushing for an end to the Senate filibuster as support for potentially voting to get rid of the rule grows.

Amid the government shutdown and recent 20+ hour filibuster from Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon, UNLV Professor Dr. Rebecca Gill talks with us on ARC Las Vegas about what this means for the public and where we can go from here.

A new poll suggests a tight race in Nevada’s 2026 gubernatorial election, with Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democrat, trailing Republican incumbent Joe Lombardo by a narrow margin.

As the government shutdown enters its third week, Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Jacky Rosen (D-NV) said in interviews with The Nevada Independent that they are more than willing to negotiate with Republicans — if only GOP leaders would let them.

EVN Report, an English-language website in Yerevan, has presented several panel presentations in the US, both at major universities and in Armenian community institutions, as part of a one-week outreach effort.

There’s a newfound hope on the streets in the capital of the oldest Christian nation in the world, but it’s a cautious hope. Armenians have been burned in the past by adversaries who ignore ethical norms and so-called protectors who have failed to come to their aid.

A government shutdown is underway, and NV Senator Catherine Cortez Masto voted with Republicans to avoid it. David Damore, Executive Director of The Lincy Institute & Brookings Mountain West, discusses this and Governor Lombardo’s call for a special legislative session. Plus, the work a NV teenager did on a newly passed antisemitism bill and how the Raiders are celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month.

The Nevada Legislature could have all-new leaders when the session comes to order in 2027.

The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified on August 18, 1920, roughly 105 years ago. Nevada was among the earliest states to pass it, in February of 1920. Roughly 100 years later, in 2019, Nevada elected the first female-majority legislature.

Most days are quiet in Armenia’s sleepy southern province of Syunik. The same cannot be said for the centuries. Caught up in battles involving Turks, Russians, Persians, Mongols and Azerbaijanis, it lies on one of the most contested parts of the geopolitical faultline in the Caucasus. For some, this marks where Europe ends and the East begins. The question now is whether a new deal secured by U.S. President Donald Trump can bring lasting peace after the most recent decades of war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Gen Z’s aversion to things fascinates people. Young people are already having less sex and dating less. Young people don’t need another reason to avoid each other, but it seems like politics is doing just that.
