Excellent update on an important issue: Mining industry privately griped to Lombardo about top Nevada water regulator before firing thenevadaindependent.com/article/mining…

The Nevada Supreme Court on Friday upheld a suspension against Pahrump Justice of the Peace Michele Fiore. Fiore was convicted of fraud in 2024 but Trump pardoned her last year. The state's judicial commission then suspended her with pay as it investigated more complaints.

Two highly publicized recent affairs in two years -one for many years w/ woman he pressured a donor to hire, then one that prompted his wife to file for divorce. Not Swalwell or a Democrat. But Ken Paxton, who might get elected US Senator from Texas - with Trump's endorsement.
