Battle Born Progress

Election Day is one week away, & Early Voting ends this Friday, 10/30! Make time to go vote for a better Nevada!

House Democrats released a new report detailing allegations from 11 women involving President Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Lombardo has built much of his public image around his promise to be tough on crime. Yet he continues to embrace a political relationship with Trump.

If your vote didn't matter, Republicans wouldn't be working to suppress your power at the polls! Make sure your voice is heard; early voting ends this Friday, 10/30!

We're looking at the surveillance network watching over us, & Gov. Lombardo’s record of wanting more surveillance, while calling gun laws “government overreach.” Plus a look at the billionaire who’s funded it all, alongside Lombardo’s reelection campaign. buff.ly/8MmWy70

As debates about the fallout of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill continue, the reality of those cuts is sinking in. On Battle Born Bytes, we look at what Medicaid cuts could mean for hospitals & families, using the state's maternity-care crisis as a window into a larger problem. bit.ly/4dZ7kaW

After defending his support for data centers, Lombardo has a new spin on them to try & win over voters: education funding. CCEA says they could bring in up to $500 million a year. This week, we're breaking down whether the math on this promise holds up. bit.ly/3U0T1Mk

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

This summer, Northern Nevada was hit with 3 major wildfires in 2 weeks. Firefighters moved from one emergency straight into the next. This week on Battle Born Bytes, we're digging into years of budget cuts and layoffs that left Washoe County's fire departments stretched thin. bit.ly/4ryq3j9

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.

The Colorado River deal was struck in 1922, before anyone accounted for climate change, tribal water rights, or a wave of AI data centers all competing for the same shrinking supply. This week on Battle Born Bytes, we're breaking down the big ol’ mess of the Colorado River deal. bit.ly/3TeKYLo

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.

We're excited to announce that at Celebrate Progress 2026, the Progressive Legacy Award will go to Laura Martin for being a lifelong champion of Nevadans' rights as Executive Director of the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada! Join us in celebrating her and our other honorees! bit.ly/BBPCP26

Crypto rules should protect consumers—not politicians’ profits. The Trump family’s growing crypto business shows why the CLARITY Act needs strong ethics and conflict-of-interest protections www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

It’s been more than 5 years since the 2020 election, and Trump continues to push this narrative about stolen votes and a vast conspiracy to change the votes. On Battle Born Bytes Investigates, we’re digging into the dark money propelling this forward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiPQ...

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.

Wildfires just tore through Northern Nevada once again. And while the fires are mostly contained by now, the cost of wildfire season doesn't end when the flames go out. On Battle Born Bytes, we're breaking down what these fires actually cost Nevadans. bit.ly/4c08br5

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.

There's a camera nearby logging your license plate right now. Las Vegas Metro's Flock cameras were paid for by a private donor, have no public transparency portal, and have already been used to track a protest. So who's watching the watchers? Watch now: bit.ly/4g9OduW

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.

We're only one month away from Celebrate Progress! Join us in coming together to celebrate the advocates who fight day in and day out for the progressive future of Nevada! Get your tickets here: bit.ly/BBPCP26

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.

Nevada has tough choices ahead as the battle between tech companies, energy companies, & everyday Nevadans comes to a head. This week on Battle Born Bytes, we're breaking down the data center fight & how the demand for them has outgrown the water & energy availability in the state. bit.ly/4bCct7H

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.

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.

Medicare & Medicaid just turned 61 years old, & instead of a party, they got a budget cut to the tune of billions of dollars. This week on Battle Born Bytes, we explore how the Trump administration has instituted new policies that harm access to these life-saving programs.

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.

Nevada has joined a dozen other states in suing to stop Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Is this just states trying to make news, or could the lawsuit actually work? This week on Battle Born Bytes, we’re diving into why that competition matters:

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.

Joe Lombardo says he's considering a gas tax holiday as Nevadans continue struggling with high fuel prices. While we appreciate the admission that the Trump-Lombardo economy is failing, a temporary holiday doesn’t fix our long-standing problems

The Battle Born Progress team is taking a summer break to recharge! We'll be back to work towards a better Nevada for everyone on July 13th!

As much as Trump tries to convince us that America's 250th belongs to him, it doesn't. This Fourth of July, we're celebrating the power of the people who fight to make this country better for everyone!
