Attorney General Aaron Ford’s office announced Tuesday that it had filed civil lawsuits against five major social media platforms, including TikTok, Snapchat and three Meta-owned platforms: Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger, over allegations that algorithms used by the platforms have been “designed deliberately to addict young minds and prey on teenagers’ well-understood vulnerabilities.”
Democratic state lawmakers in 2019 passed SB254, which directed the state to try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (compared to a 2005 baseline) by 28 percent by 2025 and 45 percent by 2030, ultimately reaching near-zero emissions by 2050. In 2020, former Gov. Steve Sisolak’s administration released a statewide climate strategy that laid out aggressive strategies intended to lead Nevada toward a cleaner climate.
Last month, former president Donald Trump appeared in Las Vegas for a rally that reflected his attempt to shift focus to the general election. Trump’s 75-minute speech focused heavily on immigration, attacking President Joe Biden’s border policies as extremist, all while Vice President Kamala Harris was making official and campaign stops around Las Vegas and getting ready to host a get-out-the-vote event at a union hall less than two miles away.
Control over state policy in 2025 is likely to come down to just a handful of legislative races this fall. Democrats, who already hold a 28-seat supermajority in the 42-member Assembly, are one seat shy of the 14 seats needed for a two-thirds supermajority in the 21-member state Senate.

The headwaters of the Muddy River, a tributary of the Colorado River, take their form with water invisible to us. They start with groundwater. The Muddy River, as it charts its course to Lake Mead, relies on groundwater-fed springs as its primary supply. And for the last two decades, those springs have faced the threat of groundwater overuse.
In a nondescript patch of high desert north of Lovelock, nestled between two dry creek beds, the only indication of where a 60-foot impact crater once was is a patch of tall grass standing out amidst the sagebrush. As he sat on the tailgate of his Jeep, Taylor Wilson laces up his desert boots. “What I love about these places, whether I'm looking for uranium or spy planes or atomic bombs, is you would never think this spot was interesting,” he says. “It's just an average spot out in the desert. But little do they know.”
