What might happen to Nevada Public Radio if Congress and the President cuts its funding? In May, President Donald Trump signed an executive order demanding the end of federal funding for NPR and PBS. In June, Congress passed a bill to rescind funds already allocated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. That bill is now in the hands of the Senate. The CPB distributes federal funds to public television and radio.

Shelley Berkley, the new mayor of Las Vegas, has been in politics for decades. And some would say it began when she was a teenager. In 1964, a Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist wrote a nasty opinion about The Beatles coming to town. He said Ringo’s nose was too big. This was at the height of Beatlemania, and Berkley, 13, was incensed. So she and other kids made signs and walked in a circle in front of the writer’s home in protest. Nearly 20 years later, she would begin her official political career.

Gender affirming care is being banned in states. In Nevada, lawmakers want to expand coverage and protect doctors who administer it. Most research says the benefits outweigh any deficits; some say we need longer-term studies. Supporters and skeptics join us @knprnews
