President Donald Trump set off a flurry of questions with a recent social media post that puts Nevada squarely at the center of the ultimate hot button issue: nuclear testing.

Last week, a Virginia couple filed an emergency motion to stop President Donald Trump’s demolition of the White House’s East Wing, citing violations of federal preservation laws. To learn more about the history of the East Wing, LiveNOW’s Shawna Khalafi is speaking with Michael Green, an associate professor of history in UNLV's Department of History.

President Donald Trump’s call to resume U.S. nuclear weapons testing prompted quick condemnation from some Nevada congressional Democrats. It’s unclear exactly what directive Trump gave in a Wednesday post on his social media platform and whether he meant that a nuclear warhead should be detonated in the testing. But any changes to the program could run through Nevada, home of the former Nevada Test Site where nuclear weapons were once tested and are now maintained as the Nevada National Security Site.

Imagine this: You hear flight staff announce that the boarding door has closed as you notice several empty airplane seats in the rows near you.

Millions are expected to participate in "No Kings" protests across the U.S. tomorrow, as organizers aim to convey a message that America will not be governed by fear or force. The movement has drawn criticism from Republicans, who label it a "hate America rally." In Southern Nevada, five protests are scheduled, including in Henderson, Pahrump, Mesquite, and two in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas protests will occur at the federal courthouse downtown in the morning and in front of New York-New York on the Strip in the afternoon.

As the government shutdown enters its third week, concerns are mounting over its potential to surpass the record set during the 2018-2019 shutdown under President Donald Trump. UNLV history professor Michael Green noted, "Trump has a chance to pass the record. Which he set." This marks the first day several federal employees are going without a paycheck, with both sides entrenched in their positions.

As President Donald Trump’s Columbus Day proclamation pledges to “reclaim” the holiday honoring the Italian explorer, Native Americans in Nevada are renewing their call to recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day — a celebration they say better reflects their heritage and history.
