Lately you've discovered that it's more difficult to find information you used to take for granted as a dystopia descends.

this is a prime opportunity for democrats to explicitly tell their voters "they say you're a terrorist, but youre just a patriotic american who is trying to get by in this world."

It's long overdue that Dems take back, or stake claim on what is means to be patriotic. It's driven me crazy that they have always seemed to cede this ground to R's.

NV's version of Susan Collins. Surprised anyone could print these "harsh" words. 🙄 Give me a break.

“I am frustrated that we’re seeing leadership, particularly on the Republican side, who are in control, not coming to the table to help engage in that negotiation,” said Cortez Masto..."

Ummm, did Liz, Mitt and Adam lose their citizenship, millions, family, freedom, life, healthcare, credit, income, retirement or any thing that cannot be replaced? No. So ask the question again.

Was thinking the same thing. Cheney and Kinzinger continue to speak out and haven't been shackled or jailed. I don't hear much about Romney anymore but assume he's as milquetoast as ever.

The bias from her was even worse than I imagined it would be before I watched the clip. She was trying so hard to put words in his mouth.

The Young Republicans worship the same ideologies as the old Republicans. We should only be surprised that this leaked, not that it was happening in the first place.

Personally can't stand Lombardo, but kudos here.

"Gov. Joe Lombardo’s office is pushing for $7.3 million in state-provided emergency spending to continue funding a food assistance program for low-income families endangered by the ongoing federal government shutdown."

The Nevada Independent @thenvindy.com · 1d

Nevada may tap $7.3 million in emergency funds to support a food assistance program for low-income mothers and children to compensate for paused federal spending during the shutdown.

This is a complete failure to read the room. It is incompetent. It is political malpractice. The DSCC has clearly learned nothing, and they would rather deploy the same tired, divisive strategies instead of empowering Democratic voters and earning our confidence in their process.

It would be great if they were upfront about calling out the misinformation. They are at least taking steps to keep it from spreading further. It’s also a good reminder that there are laws, like the Hatch Act, meant to keep government resources from being used for partisan political messaging.

Republicans have yet again cancelled votes this coming week. That won’t help us prevent health care costs from skyrocketing for all Americans but it WILL prevent Congress from voting to release the Epstein Files.

The ACLU of Nevada is challenging Las Vegas police’s partnership with ICE, saying that the Legislature has not authorized it and it expends state resources without the promise that the federal government will reimburse all costs.

They should be receiving reimbursement for their costumes from George Soros since he's funding these protesters. I hope they kept their receipts and submit them on their expense reports!

With the people from his administration who have already lied in front of Congressional hearings, I would trust the report even less if they did this. They would obsfucate so much anyway that we'd forget they were supposed to be testifying on his health.
