We join Nevadans in remembering the 60 people killed and many more injured at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Since 2017, Nevada has enacted several gun violence prevention measures, & Battle Born Progress will continue to advocate for policies that protect families & communities.

Nevadans shouldn’t have to take on more debt just to feed their families, but under Trump & Lombardo’s leadership, that's the reality. People can’t keep up with how fast prices are rising, and it shows in Nevada’s $14.4B in credit card debt. #TrumpLombardoEconomy

While Trump continues his trade wars, Americans are feeling the pain from skyrocketing prices. Gas & groceries are too expensive, and we’re taking on more debt just to keep food on the table. We're live discussing rising debt: bit.ly/4dJot8p

The average rate for a 30-year mortgage hit 7.03% this week as President Trump’s war on Iran continues. Gov. Lombardo remains loyal to Trump despite the negative impact his tenure is having on Nevadan families, small businesses, and workers.

Gov. Joe Lombardo wants you to think that his executive order on data centers will fund our schools, but we've been told this same story about Hollywood studios & baseball stadiums. Read more about how Nevada can work towards making sustainable investments in public education: buff.ly/Gszyfid

Yesterday, the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark interest rate, the first rate hike since 2023. The move lifts the Fed’s key rate to roughly 3.9% and could add upward pressure on Nevadans who are already facing $7 per gallon diesel fuel prices, unaffordable housing, and more.

This Labor Day, gas prices are higher than ever! Americans across the country have paid over $30 billion more than average for fuel since Trump started his war on Iran.

Gov. Joe Lombardo's reelection campaign is being bankrolled by Ben Horowitz, a billionaire who runs a venture capital firm that funds Flock, AI companies, and data centers. Lombardo is working for tech oligarchs, not Nevadans.

For four years, Gov. Joe Lombardo has given data center companies handouts while hard-working families struggle to make ends meet. Nevadans are ready for a governor who will work for us, not the corporations that give the biggest campaign donations.

Nevadans have watched our electricity bills skyrocket while data centers continue to move into our state; we're tired of subsidizing the electricity bills of big corporations. Aaron Ford plans to hold data centers accountable if he becomes governor.

An anonymous Hope for Prisoners Member says that former CEO Jon Ponder used his relationship with Gov. Lombardo to scare him into not reporting Ponder's abuse. Jon Ponder has now been arrested on nine felony counts and 11 gross misdemeanors, including sexual abuse of a prisoner.

President Trump today signed an executive order narrowing the recommended childhood vaccine schedule. This will make it harder for Nevada families to keep their kids protected and could accelerate the outbreaks of preventable diseases in a state that already struggles with health care access.

Joe Lombardo said it himself: he cares more about making Trump’s billionaire friends happy than he cares about everyday Nevadans. We deserve a leader who puts hard-working families first, not helping the rich get richer.

Investing in Paid Family Medical Leave is investing in the well-being of one million Nevadans & our economy. We deserve a leader who will put our health over the interests of big business; so far, Gov. Joe Lombardo has shown he can’t stand up to do what's right for us.

Battle Born Progress @battlebornprogress.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
No-Show Joe Lombardo only turns out for Donald Trump & instead of standing up for Nevadans, all he does is defend his record number of vetoes. Did vetoing these bills protect families, or did it protect the interests of his political allies?

While the #TrumpLombardoEconomy is making working-class families choose between putting food on the table and fuel in the car, Trump thinks now is a great time to take a victory lap for providing families a meager $130 in savings.

Medicaid and Medicare have spent 61 years proving that healthcare can be affordable & accessible when we put people over profits. We need to build on that progress, protect coverage, and take on the corporate price gouging driving up the cost of care.

Over 11 million people are going to see the price of their prescription drugs skyrocket because the Trump Administration gutted Medicare Part D subsidies. Our president is admitting that he'd rather pay for war than pay for the well-being of Americans.

Trump recently announced plans to add tariffs on generic drugs produced outside the United States. This move would help the Big Pharma friends of the president get richer while we're stuck paying exorbitant prices.

OP-ED: Despite overwhelming support, Gov. Lombardo vetoed Paid Family Medical Leave. Every other industrialized company around the world, from the UK, to Japan, to Pakistan, offers leave to their employees. Why won't Lombardo support policies to help families grow?

While Joe Lombardo campaigns on being the “education governor”, CCSD just laid off nearly 60 teachers, social workers, and counselors.

The recklessness of NV Energy has cost us $63 million in overcharges; now they’re asking us to trust they won’t cause wildfires. Utility Fire Immunity just means they can push the bill for their negligence on hardworking Nevadans. Read the full op-ed here: bit.ly/4eaa45G

Gov. Joe Lombardo says he doesn't know how Trump's policies are affecting our state. Ask any Nevadan, and they can tell you how much grocery and gas prices have skyrocketed because of Trump's tariffs and war on Iran!

Nevada is a national leader in executing safe and secure elections, but Lombardo is ignoring this fact to help Trump plant the seeds of doubt in our voting process!

Steve Pearce is bought & paid for by Big Oil. His loyalty lies with the oil industry despite the harm caused by drilling on public lands. Pearce’s confirmation as Director of the Bureau of Land Management would be disastrous for Nevada's public lands.

Despite the chaos ICE is causing in our communities, Congressional Republicans are working to hand them $70 billion. These lawmakers aren’t working to better the lives of Americans; they’re only working to continue the terror created by the Trump Regime

IICYMI: Donald Trump was in Vegas yesterday to take a victory lap for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, while Nevadans are hurting from his cuts to vital human services. The Trump-Lombardo economy is leaving hardworking families in the dark to benefit the wealthy few

Nevada is feeling all of the negative effects of Trump’s reckless leadership, all while Gov. Joe Lombardo sits back and praises him any chance he gets. Hardworking families across the state deserve a governor who won’t be complacent in Trump’s chaos.

For the last 14 months, the Trump-Lombardo economy has been hurting Nevada families. People are struggling to make ends meet while putting the needs of their billionaire buddies, like Elon Musk, first. Nevadans deserve leaders who work for us, not the ultra-wealthy.
