There is almost no caselaw for the Third Amendment. The fact we may have our first substantive Third Amendment cases soon shows just how lawless this administration is.

500 richest people gained a record $2.2 TRILLION in 2025.
That's enough to lift 3.8 billion people (half the world!) out of poverty.
This is oligarchy, not an economy that works for the people who contribute to it every day.

Childcare is fundamental to women's independence and 11 million+ single mothers, however it also benefits men. This 1950s fantasy of women staying home is over 70 years old, we no longer live in a world where one parent can support a family alone.

Trump asked the oil industry for $1 billion during the 2024 election. Now the industry is getting what it paid for. Yet another example of why we have to get uncontrolled money out of our politics.

We need this sort of stand from elected officials that truly intend to protect their constituents from Trump’s lawless use of our military against us. No more empty chastisement in the face of what is plainly a concerted effort to shred our rights by this criminal administration.
To Donald Trump and his administration:
If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.

Our current campaign finance laws are too weak and allow what amounts to legalized bribery of our elected officials. We need to pass the toughest campaign finance legislation in the country to get Big $ out of NV’s politics so the people of NV know their representatives are working for them.

Trump won’t stop using withholding federal funds to illegally coerce State governments. That is why elected representatives in NV should coordinate with other States to pool financial resources to withstand these threats from Trump’s criminal administration.
