Hey Republican women, Trump doesn’t want you to be able to vote either! Learn more in this week’s round up!

Happy birthday George Washington!

Join the WashoeDems and Asm. Natha Anderson for the March Banned Book club on Thursday March, 5th from 5:30 - 7:00 at the Washoe Dems HQ. Our March read will be How the Word is Passed by Clint Smith.

Mark Amodei dropped out of the midterms, Nevada DMV ordered to explain its Signal chats with DHS officials, and more in this week's roundup!

Donald Trump is calling for the elections in at least 15 states to be put under the control of Republicans to stop their party from being voted out. Donald Trump has proposed what is effectively the end of free and fair elections because he doesn't like how we might vote.

The Trump administration is growing increasingly desperate. Each time they escalate, they are telling us that they are scared and losing their power over the American people. It’s more important than ever that you get involved and keep fighting back.

February is Black History Month. Join the Washoe Dems in celebrating the history and contributions of Black Nevadans.

Senate Dems voted down the DHS funding bill because it does not include any meaningful measures to rein in the lawless and cruel behavior of federal immigration officials in Minneapolis and across the country. #StopICE

As long as we tolerate hate and dehumanizing rhetoric, we have yet to learn from the Holocaust. Anti-semitism, racism, anti-immigrant, and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric are on the rise again. History shows us what can happen if we do not take a stand. Never forget.

DHS and ICE agents have shown they are willing to use extreme violence and unlawful detainment against anyone who gets in their way. That's not law enforcement—that's a goon squad, and it's time to get them out of our cities.

This week's roundup is dedicated to the memory of Alex Pretti, the ICE nurse and union member who was executed by a Customs and Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis on Saturday.

You have one more week to adopt a new member of your family and support the WashoeDems. You can learn more about all the adorable, adoptable kitties at Kitty Kisses Cat Cafe: www.kittykissescatcafe.com/adopt/

In MN, ICE agents detained a group of school children, including a 5-year-old whom they sent to a detention facility in Texas—even though an adult family member offered to care for the child after his father was arrested. ICE allegedly used the child to trick the family into opening their door.

Big news! The NV Dems have bid to make Nevada the first Democratic presidential primary! Why Nevada?

The Trump admin is trying to quietly change a rule that would effectively ban youth gender-affirming care. This fight is about keeping all medical decisions between doctors and patients, not politicians.

This week's round up is… a lot… Believe us, we'd much rather be talking about how you can adopt your next cat at Kitty Kisses Cat Cafe than say a delusional old man who thinks Greenland wants to be the 51st state.

Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who dedicated his life to fighting injustice and making sure that freedom is not just a privilege for a few, but a right for all. Now it is our responsibility to carry on that fight against injustice in all its forms.

Trump knows that Republicans can't win a fair election, so he's trying to make it harder to vote by mail. USPS will now postmark mail — including ballots — when they reach a regional processing facility rather than when they are picked up.

Today’s Roundup is dedicated to the memory of Renee Nicole Good.

Yesterday, an ICE agent shot and killed a Minneapolis woman. We are still waiting for details from the official investigation by Minnesota officials, but it's clear is that under President Trump's leadership, ICE is not only endangering our constitutional rights, they are putting our lives at risk.

Five years ago, a lawless mob broke into Congress to stop the certification of a free and fair election. Our democracy survived, but MAGA has not stopped. Join us to fight for democracy in 2026.

It’s 2026! Check out our upcoming events! Learn more and sign up on our events calendar: www.washoedems.org/events/

Today, Trump ordered an unconstitutional invasion of Venezuela, which resulted in the capture of Venezuelan Dictator Nicolás Maduro. He, much like Trump, has spent his time in power dismantling democratic institutions, but make no mistake—these actions are not about protecting democracy.

This month we're proud to partner with Kitty Kisses Cafe. For every cat adopted through January 31st, Washoe Dems will receive a $5 donation. So many loving cats are ready to snuggle up next to you on a cold winter day. Learn more about adoptable cats: www.kittykissescatcafe.com/adopt/

We are seeing a 34% increase in health care costs next year if Congress does not extend ACA subsidies. After Lombardo cheered on the Trump admin kicking over 100,000 Nevadans off Medicaid, he is back at it cheering as another 100,000 Nevadans will see their ACA premiums skyrocket

Donald Trump's approval ratings are on the floor. Attacking working people, driving up prices and trying to use the National Guard to turn our cities into war zones are deeply unpopular policies. Who would have thought? 🤷‍♀️

🚨 Big news! Democrat Aftyn Behn of Tennessee is projected to be within 2 points of flipping a Republican Congressional seat. Trump won this district by over 20%. The election is this Tuesday, and a win in Tennessee will put us one step closer to taking back the House.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. We hope you have a wonderful time with your loved ones today!

Governor Lombardo is losing his grip on Carson City. It turns out abandoning Nevadans to attend campaign fundraisers is not a very good way to keep your job. lasvegassun.com/news/2025/no...

Washoe Dems in the legislature brought home some big wins for education, health care, and protecting SNAP from future government shutdowns.

Are you ready for the 2025 Demmler Honor Roll Dinner? We are excited to announce this year's keynote speaker will be former U.S. Senator and Governor of Nevada, Richard Bryan.

Two Nevada firefighters suffered chemical burns working inside a tunneling operation run by Elon Musk's Boring Company. Nevada OSHA investigators found severe violations and fined the company over $400,000. Then, after a meeting with the governor's office, the fines were dropped.
