🚨 Nevada, led by Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo, now has the highest unemployment rate in the nation.

$32 million cut from CCSD. $36 million handed to John Fisher. Same state. Same budget priorities. Between stadium giveaways, handouts, and data center abatements, Nevadans are watching wealthy special interests cash in while school districts face deficits and classroom cuts.

NV Energy wants customers to help fund a $500 million wildfire liability safety net. After years of overcharges, why should we absorb the risk? In this episode of Battle Born Bytes, we break down why it’s a dangerous proposal & what we can do to stop it bit.ly/4urf0ZG

Most vulnerable GOP governor in the country, who is getting crushed over his support for Trump's cost-raising agenda, admits he doesn't know how tariffs are affecting Nevada

.@JosephMLombardo says he doesn't know how Trump's policies are affecting our state. Ask any Nevadan, and they can tell you how much grocery and gas prices have skyrocketed because of Trump's tariffs and war on Iran!

ICYMI: On Monday, Steve Pearce was fully confirmed as the new Director of the Bureau of Land Management. His long record of attempting to sell off public lands is raising red flags for many Nevadans. We're making it clear that our public lands belong to us.

Bezos: "We have way too much corporate welfare, way too much corporate subsidies. There's way too much influence in politics from business, in some cases, wealthy people who really focus on that, unions. There's a bunch of people interfering in the political process."

I’m horrified by reports that more than 100,000 children – including many U.S. citizens – have been separated from their loved ones by the Trump Administration. While any number of family separations is unacceptable, this number is more than double the estimates provided by the Admin. These cruel policies go against our values as a nation and cause permanent and irreparable damage to thousands of children and their families. There must be accountability, and the Trump Admin needs a plan to reunite these families.

Today is Endangered Species Day. The Trump administration has rolled back protections for: —Wolverines —Sea turtles —Monarch butterflies —Bison —Polar bears —Rice's whales —Alligator snapping turtles —Saltmarsh sparrows —Florida panthers

As our economy has shifted wildly to the digital world, our tax code has remained frustratingly analog. This week on Battle Born Bytes, we dive into what a Digital Sales Tax does & why this common-sense measure could help dig Nevada out of our revenue hole bit.ly/4wwxwBg

1.7M mail ballots have been sent out to Nevadans, with 1,194 ballots already received and accepted. There's a cool new dashboard from @NVSOS tracking mail ballots statewide. Check it out! nvsos.gov/vivid/

The Trump administration is doubling down on their strategy of ignoring reality. They want to pretend costs are going down when inflation is spiking massively and people are hurting.
