Platforms like YouTube, TikTok and Instagram used to be called "social media" but that has been a misnomer for just as long.

February 6, 2026 Today, Rep. Mark Amodei released the following statement: "Serving the people of Nevada has been the honor of my lifetime. Nobody is prouder of our Nevada Congressional District than me. Thank you for the honor. Every achievement worth doing began with listening to Nevadans and fighting for our values.
