“Don’t be fooled.” — Rep. Susie Lee is sounding the alarm on Trump’s devastating plan to slash healthcare including: $880 BILLION in cuts to Medicaid & Medicare and cuts to SNAP & Head Start. Meanwhile 800,000+ Nevadans are impacted and 40% of Nevada’s kids are on Medicaid.
All so the richest Americans and big corporations get more tax breaks. This won’t reduce the deficit — it’ll increase it, and working families will pay the price.

Families in NY are saving $165 per child every month because their public schools serve free breakfast and lunch. The same thing could happen for Nevada families, if Assembly Bill 268 passes. The last time lawmakers tried to pass this legislation, Gov. Lombardo vetoed it.
Late night television host Jimmy Kimmel is keenly aware that Nevada hasn’t elected a Republican for president since 2004, but it isn’t because the state has an overtly Democratic-leaning electorate.
Democratic operatives and political observers have long pinned the party’s success in the Silver State on the robust canvassing and field organizing by organizations like Culinary Union Local 226 and others for Democratic officials up and down the ballot. And this year looks to be no exception, as Culinary has mobilized nearly 600 volunteers statewide to knock on doors, distribute voter pamphlets, and help elect endorsed candidates like Nevada incumbent US Sen. Jacky Rosen and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
Helping to boost those volunteers’ morale, Las Vegas native and late night television host Jimmy Kimmel spoke alongside Rosen to Culinary members on Monday to thank them for their efforts.
“They [Republicans] don’t have real people working as hard as you are working to win this election,” Kimmel said. “So, I again just want to say we appreciate what you’re doing. Keep doing it. We’ve got to finish strong, and we’ve got to win Nevada for Jacky Rosen, and, most importantly, for all of you.”
While Nevada might be known for extravagant resorts owned by big gaming companies, the overwhelming majority of businesses operating in Nevada are considered a small business, with 500 employees or fewer.
But many businesses also fail in their first year often because of the steep financial burden it takes to support a company, US Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nevada), who sits on the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee, told The Nevadan during a recent sit-down interview.
Lawmakers need to come together to find ways to make it easier for people to start a business, and Rosen said she has some ideas to do that, while also uplifting the state’s veteran population, which according to official estimates is over 200,000 people.
“We’ve been trying to find ways in the Small Business Committee to continue to incentivize people to open their small business and give them that capacity to grow, hire others, and live out their dram,” she said.

Joe Kennedy III, nieto de Robert F. Kennedy y sobrino del ex-Presidente John F. Kennedy, pidió a la comunidad latina de Nevada no sólo v0tar, sino que también invitara a v0tar a tantos miembros de su familia como pudieran.
"El mensaje que Las Vegas y Nevada va a mandar, va a tener ruido en todo el mundo," dijo en un evento comunitario en Las Vegas.
Su suplico vino ya que las elecciones presidenciales de 2024 se esperan ser reñidas y los estados péndulo como Nevada, y especialmente los v0tantes latinos, harán la diferencia.
Josh Gad: "You control your future. You control whether or not your next president believes in science or doesn't. You get to decide whether or not a woman's rights to her own body matter."
