CNN: “Early today, CNN journalists were denied access to the White House grounds. CNN’s mission to report on the U.S. government will continue regardless of any attempts to restrict physical access to the White House and other government buildings, or any other attempts to impede our journalism. We have a right under the U.S. Constitution to do our reporting without hindrance or interference from the government and this ban is an illegal assault on this fundamental right.” cnn.com/2026/09/19/media/tru…

Jeff German spent four decades exposing crime and corruption in Las Vegas. In 2022, he was murdered by a public official whose misconduct he had uncovered. His story is a powerful reminder of the risks journalists face. Read about his legacy: fallenjournalists.org/story/…

Air conditioning is an essential service (literally) for any rental in Nevada. By law, landlords have 48 hours after receiving written notice from residents to fix—or use their best efforts to fix—problems with essential services.

Hundreds of people have died from extreme heat in Southern Nevada as some residents struggle to afford, repair or access air conditioning amid rising temperatures. The RJ's @k_newberg & @AlanHalaly examine the issue in this ongoing series. READ MORE: lvrj.com/post/3867022

The real crazy thing is that this post violates the neutrality policy it references. Plus an institution that refused to admit Black people for over 100 years had as its founding purpose discrimination.
.@EDSecMcMahon is correct. DEI is discriminatory by design, antithetical to the purpose of a university, and incompatible with the pursuit of truth. The University of Florida has already acted on that conviction. In December 2025, our Board of Trustees adopted institutional neutrality and embedded an anti-DEI mandate within the presidential contract itself, ensuring that no university funds, public or private, will underwrite DEI at this institution. Dr. Stuart Bell stands with Secretary McMahon, the Board, and the people of Florida on this. He is ready to lead UF forward as a university defined by merit, rigor, and the pursuit of truth.

As an alum I’m appalled by this statement. DEI means Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. All good things. All things that belong in the academy. I’m embarrassed by what is being done to an outstanding university by right wing extremists in the state of Florida.

We’ve absolutely jumped the shark. Disappointing, to say the least.

This is what coastal elitism looks like in action
So much of the Western United States looks like this. Why aren't we carpeting it with solar farms and colocating data centers & grid-scale batteries?

NEW: @MarkAmodeiNV2, the Republican who shaped the Homeland Security funding bill, told me "there needs to be a pivot in the whole operation" after Pretti's death. He said Noem "didn’t do herself any favors when she called this guy a domestic terrorist." thenevadaindependent.com/art…
