"Someday I wouldn't mind creating a utopia."
I spent a day with #NV01 GOP nominee @CarrieBuckforNV asking what made her education career so successful, why she hasn’t been able to pass any bills in the state Senate, and what she’d do in Congress:

David Flippo, the Republican candidate running for Nevada's 2nd Congressional District, apologized Friday at a "Veterans for David Flippo" press conference in Reno after The Washington Post reported his campaign repeatedly and falsely said he received a Bronze Star "for valor."

New and exclusive: @SenJackyRosen is introducing a resolution calling for Trump to remove the 50% tariffs on Canada and demanding he stop doing things like calling it the 51st state and trying to rename Lake Ontario.
Comes as Canadian tourism to Nevada has fallen precipitously.

.@teresa4nevada is up with a new ad in #NV02 today, part of her previously-reported six-figure buy.
It's almost all about standing up to AI and protecting people from job loss and higher costs, illustrating the resonance of the issue right now.

Nevada lawmakers could help sway 2028.
@StevenHorsford is "not taking sides early" in the presidential race. @SusieLeeNV is a "Buttigieg fan" who plans to endorse someone after learning more about the candidates.

New — Sabato's Crystal Ball today moved #NV02 towards Democrats.
It's still in the "likely Republican" column, but signals "things may end up bad enough for Republicans that we might see upsets in some places we don’t expect."

Titus has been leading the push to fix the gambling loss tax deduction — see our coverage from late last year:
thenevadaindependent.com/art…
Very pleased to see that my gambling loss tax deduction fix has finally been included in a tax package. I encourage my colleagues to push it through @WaysandMeansGOP this week as quickly as possible.

New—Horsford’s fix for the gambling loss tax deduction, which would eliminate the provision where gamers can only deduct 90% of losses, moves forward in the House.
My FULL HOUSE Act is about bringing fairness back to our tax code. You should never be taxed on income you never actually received.
