I am begging parents. Befriend your fellow parents. Ask them for help. Help them when they need it. We have to rebuild our physical, tangible communities.

CCSD is conducting a survey on school start times. People have some strooooong opinions on this. Will be interesting to see results.

"Taken together, SNEDCA and the Mining Regulatory Clarity Act represent a one-two punch: one bill sells off Nevada’s lands to developers, while the other makes it easier for mining companies to pollute what’s left." commentary by Olivia Tanager/@sierraclubtoiyabe.bsky.social

U.S. Rep. Susie Lee said Republicans must “stand up with” Democrats and do what Congress has done since the Constitution was ratified in 1789, assert its constitutional authority. "At what point are they going to side with the American people over the corruption of this president?"

The Washoe County Commission failed to address “serious threats” to public safety and wildfire evacuation when it approved development amendments adopted in 2023 by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, says a Petition for Judicial Review filed Tuesday.

Here's a quick recap of three charter schools recently approved to open next year, and some criticisms lobbed by the districts who will likely lose students to them. 🍎

It's amazing how many of these medical bills magically go away once the media gets involved. “After reviewing the situation, it appears there was some confusion between the provider and our member,” a spokesperson said... THIS IS NOT HOW IT SHOULD WORK.

A hearty hip hip hooray to all the 2025 Nevada Press Association winners, announced over the weekend. The @nevadacurrent.com held its own this year, winning eight awards, including two two first place awards!

The lithium industry has been hammered by falling prices in recent years due to softer demand and an oversupply of the battery metal globally, which has made mining the metal in the U.S. less attractive to investors.

This is a great local news story by @aprilcore.bsky.social about a company run by a billionaire businessman (who, in my opinion, is essentially a slumlord) taking public money from a small town & then willfully ignoring its aesthetic an suing dissenters. nevadacurrent.com/2025/09/19/b...

Happy Friday! Catch me on today's episode of CityCast Las Vegas. We're talking Charlie Kirk cancel culture, NV Energy rate changes, and what seems like (IMHO) one of the most frivolous lawsuits ever filed against a stripper by some dude in Arkansas.

Nevada's Susie Lee and Dina Titus voted yea. Steven Horsford voted nay.

Pinkbox Doughnuts is attempting to open a new shop in Boulder City by the end of the year, but the company’s plans for a pair of poop emoji-shaped mascots in front of the building, and the fact public dollars are helping bring the company to town, is creating quite a stink with local residents. 💩🍩

Good thing Nevada doesn't need to build any more houses or anything! 🫥

Fascinating look at Boring Company's latest scheme in Nevada: Operating Teslas as taxis overseen by *checks notes* not Taxicab Authority. This isn't good for taxis, of course, but also probably not great for rideshares like Uber and Lyft either. story: @danagentrylv.bsky.social @nevadacurrent.com

“While I was rushing home to my son, I didn’t have a plan for what happens if my house blows up,” state Sen. Dina Neal, D-North Las Vegas, said, tears falling down her face. “I didn’t have a plan for what happens if Assemblywoman Monroe-Moreno was found dead.” story by @kylechouinard.bsky.social

Among services still down: background checks needed for certain people attempting to buy firearms, the state’s victim notification system, and the sex offender registry lookup.

INBOX. U.S. Sen. Ruben Gallego and the Nevada State Democratic Party announced they are canceling two events scheduled for this weekend.

Nevada Senate Majority Leader Nicole Cannizzaro, a Democrat, on Thursday announced she has instructed legislative staff “to explore statutory and regulatory options to address this crisis.” But will Gov. Lombardo get on board?

The pairing of these two vaccine-related updates is a sign of the times. Eeep.

Lingering questions about the nature of the cyber attack, such as the identity of the attacker or attackers, the scope of the data extracted, or whether a ransom has been demanded, remain unanswered.

Wow. In Nevada only 5.9% of births in 2021 were attended by midwives. That's far lower than other Mountain West states. 🤰

Looking at the Nevada cyberattack recovery update page. Just noticed this: "Requests for child abuse/neglect screenings by employers (e.g., teachers, volunteers, youth sports) cannot be processed." Oh.

Mike's Reno Report offers some easy-to-read background on the Nevada cyberattack, which is now in week two! 🖥️

Las Vegas' economy can't be hurting that bad because the illegal Airbnb down the street is still seeing plenty of visitors. This weekend it appears to be a bunch of bros renting Lambos. 🙄
