The leadership of UNR has turned against its own women's volleyball team after a majority of the team decided it was unsafe, unfair, and unjust to compete against a team with a biological male on its roster. It's unconscionable that a university would stab its own students in.
INSANE response from @unevadareno after the women's volleyball team decided to forfeit their match against SJSU. This is the intimidation & emotional blackmail that girls face when they stand up for themselves. Hold the line girls, @NevadaWVB. We're all behind you! BOYcott

@RahelAbate I can assure you that I'm the only person running for federal office in NV who has been to the Amhara Region (my wife and I spent more than a week in and around Gondar and Lake Tana). I hoped when the TPLF regime was replaced, things would get better for the Amhara people, but.

Sam Brown dominated the US Senate debate, but I'll give Jacky Rosen credit - at least she showed up for their @8NewsNow debate. My opponent, Susie Lee, chickened out of our scheduled US House debate. She didn't want to be exposed for her corruption, odd views, and terrible votes.

I told you this weasel was a criminal 2 years ago when I ran against him. (And miraculously lost by 336 votes after leading by 2,900 on Election Night.) Now his corruption has cost taxpayers $80M and he's going to lose his law license. He's an embarrassment to our community.
Attorneys for the State Bar of Nevada will hold a disciplinary hearing in March in an effort to permanently disbar — or perhaps suspend — the law license of embattled Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones, the 8 News Now Investigators have learned.

In 1991, my 7th grade science textbook said we'd be out of natural gas by 1999. Since then, gas consumption has increased dramatically, but there's now enough natural gas to last 120 more years (and likely much longer). The solution to scarcity is always freedom and innovation.
Despite decades of apocalyptic claims from the environmental movement, resources continue to become more abundant. "Humans create more than they consume, and the planet is not about to run out of anything."

Because of a vote Susie Lee made, a man can now claim he is a woman on small business loan and grant applications and be eligible to receive government grants and loans intended for female-owned small businesses. Shady Susie doesn't support women, she stabs them in the back.

I strongly support Gov. Lombardo’s efforts to make commonsense improvements to Nevada's election system. These proposals are broadly supported, ensure every vote is counted, and end the silly practice of not finding out who won elections until more than a week after Election Day.

Susie, did you forget? You own 21 homes. You ARE the Big Corporate Landlord preventing people from buying homes. You supported red tape that ADDED $40k to the cost of every home and condo in Southern NV. You are the biggest fraud in Congress, and I can't wait to replace you!.
Southern Nevadans are some of the hardest working people I know. It shouldn’t be this hard to afford to pay rent or buy a home. That’s why I’m fighting to lower housing costs by getting Big Corporate Landlords and red tape out of the way to help keep a roof over your head.

In November, Nevada voters will vote on a commonsense law to require an ID to vote. In a universal mail ballot state that counts ballots that arrive days after the election without a postmark and relies on an unscientific signature verification process, voter ID is necessary.
Incredible news. This ballot measure wouldn't just require photo ID for in-person voting. It would significantly increase the security of mail ballots by requiring mail voters to provide a four-digit ID number. Will be interesting to see how much Democrats and left-wing groups

WHAT A FRAUD: Organized Retail Crime is such an issue in NV because Shady Susie's Democrat buddies in the NV State Assembly raised the felony threshold for theft to $1,200. Now, people can steal $1,199 worth of merch with no consequences. That's why police endorsed me, not Susie!.
Organized Retail Crime is not your typical shoplifting. It’s a large-scale criminal operation that harms our economy and threatens public safety. On #FightRetailCrimeDay, I stand by law enforcement & businesses in demanding Congress pass my bipartisan bill to fight this crime.

Encouraging news from the Registrar of Voters! Of the votes still to be tallied, most are mail ballots dropped off at voting locations on Election Day. We expect to win a majority of these. That means we should have the first Republican on the Clark County Commission since 2008!.
UPDATE: We haven’t won yet, but we will! The county still has to count sealed ballots dropped off at polling places. Modeling shows we'll win a majority of those. That should allow us to build up a big enough lead to overcome remaining mail ballots. Thanks to everyone who voted!.

Well, this is troubling. In 2022, 8,036 ballots were rejected in NV. I lost my race for Clark County Commission by 336 votes -- in a district that contained 10.4% of the voters in the state. So those roughly 836 votes could've meant A LOT to me.
