Nevada State Sen. Fabian Doñate is questioning the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority's persistent and enthusiastic support for Elon Musk's Boring Co. #VegasLoop

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democrat, held a press conference Tuesday to highlight his office’s legal efforts against the Trump administration, whose actions he called “not only illegal and unconstitutional but entirely immoral.”

The @minnesotareformer.com continuing their important coverage of ICE: "There are now at least four times more immigration agents in the state than there are Minneapolis police officers."

The prospect of purchasing a brand new 2,000-square-foot single-family home in the northwest part of the Las Vegas Valley for around $300,000 would be scoffed at by local realtors. But the opportunity to do just that is coming later this year, thanks to a new program spearheaded by Clark County. 🏡

Cool news from CCSD: Green Valley HS is going to do Suffs!

Happy new year to everyone except ghost kitchens and unlicensed bounce houses! #nvleg

What was the biggest Las Vegas news story of 2025? I went on City Cast Las Vegas to discuss. 📡

This story out of Michigan. Oy.

I write this story every year: Charter school population continues, school district enrollment dips #nevada

“Zoey is very high energy and excitable. Those are the very traits I was told to suppress growing up. The stereotypes associated with Asian women are that we are submissive, docile. All my life I’ve been told, ‘You’re too much.’ That too-muchness gave me a platinum record.” how it's done done done

Checking in on the economy and Nevada revenue. "The forecast right now is holding."

Another Economic Forum meeting means another day in which I wonder: Why does baccarat exist?

Went on Las Vegas City Cast to talk national parks, health care, and BINGO! Listen at the link below or wherever you go for podcasts. 🎙️

Las Vegas is so lucky to have the Lou Ruvo Center, designed by Gehry. Such a beautiful building.

Nevada's Economic Forum is meeting now. I may tweet out some highlights here, but definitely expect a full write up in @nevadacurrent.com later! www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5Az...

Journo job opportunity! States Newsroom is hiring a national editor.

Apparently The Bachelorette filmed some footage for the Taylor Frankie Paul season in Las Vegas last month. (At Chippendales and a Raiders game, according to Bach blogs.) Don't worry, the State of Nevada gave them transferable tax credits!

What are transferable film tax credits? The @nevadacurrent.com explains in today's newsletter. An analysis showed that for every $1 in tax credits provided, the state gets a return of 23 cents. The latest on the bill: nevadacurrent.com/2025/11/1... @aprilcore.bsky.social

Legal Aid Center is here to assist federal workers during this time. Go to www.lacsn.org/shutdown to see our toolkit (which covers utilities, housing, loans, and more), guidance for affected employees, and a list of food resources.

Some not great news for Nevada. 🫠

Some exciting breaking news! The Nevada Division of Social Services on Wednesday delivered approximately $29 million in SNAP food assistance benefits to the EBT cards of over 196,000 households.

Time to add Sphere public subsidy to the #nvleg special session proclamation. (This is a joke. Plz nobody do that. Thx.)

"The reality is, without great transportation alternatives available, most people find it easier to ignore the risks of getting in a vehicle." Great piece from @grist.org, republished by @nevadacurrent.com

U.S. Rep. Steven Horsford on Friday sent a letter to Gov. Joe Lombardo urging him to do “everything within his power” to ensure Nevadans continue to receive food stamps during a prolonged federal government shutdown.

Click for the info on Nevada's ARPA dollars. Stay for my hot take on Usher? 🤷‍♀️

Buried in this story is news that SpaceX is now expected to get some federal broadband funding for projects in Nevada. They weren't at first, but they got in after the Trump administration rescinded the Biden administration's approval of Nevada's broadband internet for all plan. Fun! 📡

Nearly a third of Nevada’s $2.7 billion in American Rescue Plan Act funding has not yet been spent. #nvleg

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al. A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator" 3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

Thousands of Nevadans took to streets and sidewalks Saturday to peacefully protest President Donald Trump and air myriad grievances against his administration...

“Buy now, pay later” consumer loans in Nevada may soon be easier to get, and they may come with better consumer protections, thanks to a new state law that went into effect earlier this month.

On October 2—just a few minutes shy of 11 PM in Portland, Oregon—a federal agent shot peppery spray into the vent hole of Seth Todd’s inflatable frog costume. Todd was protesting ICE outside of Portland’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office. 🔗 www.404media.co/the-surreal-...

Went on City Cast Las Vegas to talk all things #nvleg special sesh! 📻

Lombardo refuses to answer any real questions about the cyber-attack. Read the latest from @aprilcore.bsky.social @nevadacurrent.com nevadacurrent.com/2025/10/1...

Just a reminder that we still don't know much about that massive cyberattack against the State of Nevada six weeks ago.

"Super Bowl halftime counterprogramming is not a new or uncommon concept. On Animal Planet, there have been 21 Puppy Bowls since 2005, including one during the most recent Super Bowl earlier this year." Super Bowl half > bowl of chips & guac > Puppy Bowl > toilet bowl > whatever this thing becomes

If I kept a beef list, the phrase "starter home" would be on it.

Sigh. Please vaccinate your kids. 🙏 (story by @thenvindy.com)

Nevada needs to address the growing number of young men aged 16 to 24 who are not in employment, education or training.

You know how the NYT bestsellers list has the little dagger to indicate that bulk sales or some other shadery is likely influencing a book's appearance on the list? The music charts need that to signal the 'variant' cash grab/market manipulation that has become a hallmark of Taylor Swift releases.

Nevada Health Link premiums will rise 26% in 2026 amid higher medical costs and the end of federal subsidies. 👉 More on This Is Reno: thisisreno.com/2025/10/neva... #thisisreno #renonews #reno #renonv #biggestlittlecity #localnews #renotahoe #journalism #northernnevada #renoheartsyou

By publicly announcing there will be a special session, Lombardo is triggering county commissions to fill vacancies created by 2 Republicans who resigned from the Legislature. By state law, their replacements must be members of the same political party.

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo says he intends to call a special session "at some point over the next few months." #nvleg

Nevadans who get insurance through Nevada Health Link, the state’s Affordable Care Act marketplace, are facing premium rate hikes of 26%, report @nevadacurrent.com and @statesnewsroom.com

The vast majority of Americans, including Republicans and those who identify as strong Trump supporters, want Congress to renew the enhanced ACA tax credits as Democrats have called for during the shutdown debate.

Wrote this the same day I found out my premium is going up $530 a month. 🍻

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

It's always multiple factors. Life is complex. *cough* but it's social media *cough*

States reliant on the Colorado River are approaching a 2026 deadline to decide how to manage the river, and they have until mid-November to reach a preliminary agreement or risk federal intervention. @jensolis.bsky.social reports
