This is a very nice remembrance montage to start things off. Damn, it's sad how many great Nevadans were lost last year.

Dem gov chooses GOP SOS, who stood up for what was right during assault on elections, to say the pledge of allegiance, which many of her GOP colleagues ignored since Nov. 3.

Priceless.

The speech has begun. We are at the "Here's all the great stuff we did before....you know" part.

This taped speech is going to have video of others intercut. First one is Jacob Keeperman, an amazing doc from Renown who we interviewed on the podcast and @meganmesserly wrote about:

@meganmesserly "Our greatest challenge now is running the largest vaccination campaign in history. Despite lack of resources and coordination from the federal government we
have pushed forward and to date we have administered over 100,000 (doses)."

Ah. The finger points at DC for slow rollout.

@meganmesserly The section on the unemployment system disaster will do little to tamp down the anger. There is nothing new except a promise to modernize. "...our computer infrastructure is still outdated, and our systems can be improved."

Ya think?

"..I have not been quiet about my urgent desire to see children return to in-person learning, because we will not recover as a state if we leave our children behind. I will do whatever it takes to get our students back in the classroom."
Good. Too much silly partisanship on this.

"I want to address the division and polarization that is gripping our
country. It has to end. It’s breaking down trust in our institutions and
threatening our ability to solve the problems we face. This is America. This is Nevada. And we need to pull together."

Nice message.

WOW: @Ben_Kieckhefer and @Pres_Sandoval (again) endorse @GovSisolak for re-election in the video.

Didn't see THAT coming.

That's how I heard it.

Don't @ me.
