Thinking of Assemblywoman @selenafornevada.bsky.social today as I reset all my clocks to standard time. Hoping next session we can pass her bill to #locktheclock like our neighbor Arizona!

An insider talks about a broken Senate confirmation process, and how Republicans and Democrats must work together to fix it. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

“The Trumps are hardly the first presidential family to profit from their time in power, but they have done more to monetize the presidency than anyone who has ever occupied the White House.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/u...

“The NPC criticism got something right. There are real dangers to conformity. Political parties — even presidential administrations — are stronger when they can hear contrary voices.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/o...

“Determined citizens who understand the stakes can — eventually, inconsistently — defeat those who manipulate opinion and laws. We saw that most recently in Poland.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/15/o...

The latest evidence that true Christian faithfulness is an ill fit with partisan politics, and that a person cannot serve two masters. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Spoiler alert: No, Jan. 6 was not an “inside job” and the rioters were not patriots. And no, the 2020 election was not stolen; Joe Biden won in a free and fair election, and by a large margin. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

With respect, Ben Rhodes is wrong here. Donald Trump is *exactly* the person a slim majority of voters elected in November, and he did not hide the kind of president he would be when he was campaigning. No one should be in the least surprised. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/o...

“The administration seems to have wanted challenges that consume a ton of resources — of opponents, courts and public attention — even as members of the administration know the provisions do not square with the law that exists.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

Definitely not better. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/b...

The Founders counted on ambition and self-interest to ensure each branch of government jealously guarded its own powers and duties. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/28/u...

Aaron Blake writes in the Washington Post about 12 potential presidential contenders in 2028: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

More proof that redistricting reform is an essential pillar of necessary reforms if we’re interested in moving past toxic partisanship. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/26/u...

“Pluralism requires both law and ethics to function, and without ethics the law will fail.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/26/o...

Happy New Year! @DavidoffBarLV

The political year that was: 13 takeaways from 2024. www.ktnv.com/news/one-las...

tfw you are sitting in a long, boring legislative hearing and somebody asks a question about “the delta.”

Watching drones above your house on the East Coast? If you see the one on the left, you’re OK. If you see the one on the right, run!

ICYMI: Las Vegas has a new mayor, and women now represent nearly every ward in the city. www.ktnv.com/news/i-pledg...

I subscribe to satirical news sites such as “The Borowitz Report” and real ones such as CNN and the New York Times. It’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference as I scroll through my email.

It wasn’t just Nevada where ranked choice and/or open primaries fell flat, the AP reports. apnews.com/article/rank...

Matt Gaetz’s withdrawal as AG nominee demonstrates that there are still standards that will hold. Note that Republicans will have a Senate majority in January, so this came from the GOP, not Democrats. Question: Is this an exception, or will there be more?

Mass challenges to voter registrations in Nevada are harder than you might think, @thenvindy.bsky.social reports: thenevadaindependent.com/article/indy...

So this is the new meeting place, apparently?
