Public officials in 16 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration Thursday to restore access to pandemic relief aid for schools, saying the Education Department's abrupt halt of hundreds of millions of dollars of promised funding will force cuts to vital services. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan by a coalition of 16 Democratic attorneys general, led by New York’s Letitia James and including Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, plus Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, also a Democrat. It claims the administration's refusal to release the aid violates federal law because it reversed a prior decision to allow states to access the money through March 2026.
April 1 has come and gone, and from here on out, it’s all downhill — literally and figuratively — for Nevada’s snowpack. Snowpacks are Mother Nature’s reservoirs, natural repositories that slowly release water downstream into lakes, reservoirs and sinks. April 1 is historically the date in Nevada and across the Eastern Sierra that most snowpacks hold their highest water content.

RENO — The Bureau of Land Management Nevada State Office leased 10 parcels totaling 19,954 acres for $295,309 in total receipts for its quarterly oil and gas lease sale. The combined bonus bids and rentals from the lease will be distributed between the federal government and the State of Nevada. Oil and gas lease sales support domestic energy production and American energy independence, while contributing to the nation’s economic and military security. Consistent with Executive Order 14154, “Unleashing American Energy,” the BLM’s lease sales help meet the energy needs of U.S. citizens and solidify the nation as a global energy leader long into the future.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic officials in 19 states filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump's attempt to reshape elections across the U.S., calling it an unconstitutional invasion of states' clear authority to run their own elections. Thursday's lawsuit is the fourth against the executive order issued just a week ago. It seeks to block key aspects of it, including new requirements that people provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote and a demand that all mail ballots be received by Election Day. “The President has no power to do any of this,” the state attorneys general wrote in court documents. “The Elections EO is unconstitutional, antidemocratic, and un-American.”
Nevada nonprofits face an unprecedented level of uncertainty amid potential federal funding cuts, but a bill in the Legislature could help their bottom lines. Here’s what you need to know: AB254, sponsored by Assm. Erica Mosca (D-Las Vegas), would establish a nonprofit grant program in the state’s Office of Federal Assistance, which is housed in the governor’s office. The bill itself doesn't allocate any money, but creates an account to accept donations that would then be funneled to nonprofits applying for merit-based grants.
