.@GovSisolak says budget hole is down to $1.2 billion. Has released a preview of his proposals. Will thread my thoughts here. Image
Good graphic showing extent of the financial devastation caused by coronavirus and @GovSisolak's prolonged shutdown order. Image
$190 million from NSHE. $166 million from #nved, including gutting Read by 3 ($31 million) and $70 million from the new education funding plan. ImageImage
That is an incredibly light touch to #nved given the circumstances. Losing Read by 3 would be a shame, especially since #nvleg has already eliminated the retention portion of the program.
$233 million from DHHS, including a 6% reduction in Medicaid reimbursement rates. ImageImage
.@GovSisolak says his plan will balance the budget without raising taxes. Image

It is amazing how @KamalaHarris tells outright falsehoods about @realDonaldTrump and the media ignores it. Here are some from her speech in Las Vegas.

Claim: "He intends to cut Social Security and Medicare."

Trump: "Under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security."Image
Image
Harris: "He intends to end the Affordable Care Act," specifically to "take us back to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions."

Trump, as president: Signed an executive order to "affirm it is the official policy of the United States government to protect patients with preexisting conditions."Image
Image
Harris: "He talks a big game about border security, but he does not walk the walk."

During the Biden/Harris administration, illegal immigration was hit record highs while it was much lower during the Trump administration. When there was a surge during Trump's tenure, he quickly brought it down.Image

In just 2.5 hours, the @realDonaldTrump campaign filled a 40 page response to NV Supreme Court. Pretty incredible.

Highlights in the thread.
Based on evidence obtained from DMV, Trump campaign says they identified almost 4K immigrant voters.

I’m guessing these are people who registered to vote while using a green card for identification.

That would be a massive scandal.
District court all but ignored the testimony of the former Secretary of State of Colorado.

Looks like the NV Supreme Court is going to rule against Trump tonight.

Not surprised given their reputation for avoiding anything controversial.
Don’t think a court loss means there’s no proof of voter fraud. The District Court didn’t engage with the names submitted by Trump campaign of double dead and out of state voters. It cited an “expert” who studied previous Nevada elections, but not the 2020 general.
The tens of thousands of potentially illegal voters is still an unknown. Illegal voting on that scale was possible given the rapid shift to mail ballots and signature verification being a joke.

But Trump campaign needs to put out those lists to allow others to investigate.

Three days ago, King @GovSisolak hyperventilated that @realDonaldTrump's rallies doomed Nevada to a deadly increase in coronavirus cases. Now, Sisolak is suggesting that he wants to relax restrictions on ... gatherings.
Is His Majesty aware that we were here earlier this week? That we remember what he said on Sunday?

Relaxing restrictions would obviously be a good thing, but it's a stunning shift for 3 days ago.
If this doesn't convince you that @GovSisolak doesn't have a clue how to handle this, I don't know what will.

Yesterday, @RalstonReports publicly attacked, mocked and said he muted @OyVegas, a columnist for the Indy, which Jon runs. What a great editor. ImageImageImage
.@OyVegas committed the most heinous thought crime of all. He suggested that something I wrote wasn’t completely wrong (although Dayvid was quick to point out what he disagreed with). Image
I’m sorry @OyVegas. That’s not allowed. You must not interrupt the two minutes of hate with independent thinking.

By the logic of SCR1, the state Senate is voting to dismantle @NVSenateDems and @cceanv.

A thread 🧵🧵
It's a resolution against systemic racism, which, as is often the case, isn't defined in the text.

Systemic racism is said to "create generational poverty" and "disproportionally affect people of color."
This is pretty standard. The term "systemic racism" isn't defined, but it's identified by disparities in outcomes.
