@WashoeSheriff Good job but do we have drone use protocols to protect our fourth amendment rights?

"Why? They better figure that out. Former President Donald Trump came close in Clark County, which is inconceivable. How did that happen? No taxes on this tip: The core of the party didn’t just underperform; they turned their backs."

My fessing up on my predictions.

Holy smokes!

Kevin O'Leary just said that Nancy Pelosi's and Chuck Schumer's gripping influence on the Democratic party is GONE after this election.

“The influences of a Schumer or a Pelosi or a movie star or an Obama deciding to anoint somebody—those guys are gone. In four years, they won't have that kind of influence.”

O'Leary went on to absolutely rip apart the Democratic Party's communist style of governing.

“I care about policy. And when I hear policies coming out of a party that are so twisted against the American way of life, like basically taxing capital gains that are unrealized—that's not America. Or price controls—that's not America.”

“It would be good for them to lose tonight. It would reset and reboot and get that party back to the center. It would be good for them. They may not want to hear that,” O'Leary said.

The indie turnout in urban Nevada is insane.

It is far outdistancing the R and D turnout in both Clark and Washoe, may end up being close to a third of the vote.

All about the indies in Nevada.

I estimated 400,000 of them; already at 359,000.

[Dr. John R. Samuelsen @JohnRSamuelsen]

Voted and haven't voted by party and age in Clark County, NV as of noon today (including EDay, mail, and EIP).

[Gabby Birenbaum @birenbomb]

Combining three hours of E-Day vote with prior mail & early voting, here's where we stand.

Total: 1,145,950
🔵D: 386,168 (33.7%)
🔴R: 433,339 (37.8%)
⚪️O: 320,389 (28%)

Reminder, this is just turnout by party reg. Doesn't tell us about crossover voting or how indies voted

This has been reported by the @NevadaCurrent and others, but it bears repeating: This year, Nevada counties were able to start processing and tabulating (aka counting) mail ballots 15 days prior to Election Day. Big change from 2020 that should help with release of results.

Does this feel like your timeline recently?

@win_clouds @KTVN @ACLUNV Are you familiar with the current voluntary system employed by the city? I would just like to know what the organization that looks after our civil liberties thinks about this. Has it been successful in other places? Has there been any analysis of the success/failure?

[Fred Turnier @FredTurnier]

@win_clouds @KTVN @ACLUNV What type of data collection, what will it be used for, where will it be stored and for how long, and policies of how it will be used.

@vegasstarfish If the views are obstructed, close Las Vegas blvd and make it a pedestrian plaza/park

@DougHunter1 Be careful out there!

@michlschwrtz Yes, need a variety of facade options.

I'm proud to announce California's new United States Senator -- Laphonza Butler.

As we mourn the enormous loss of Sen. Feinstein, the very freedoms she fought for -- reproductive freedom, equal protection, and safety from gun violence -- have never been under greater assault.

Laphonza has spent her entire career fighting for women and girls and has been a fierce advocate for working people.

She will make history -- becoming the first Black lesbian to openly serve in the U.S. Senate.

From her time as President of EMILY's List to leading the state's largest labor union, she has always stood up for what is right and has led with her heart and her values.

I have no doubt she will carry the baton left by Senator Feinstein, continue to break glass ceilings, and fight for all Californians in Washington.

“At the World Championships in Budapest, USA’s Anita Alvarez sank to the bottom of the pool.

Looking across the deck, and noticing she was under way too long, her coach, Andrea Fuentes immediately dove in after her fully clothed, pulling her to safety.

Anita was unconscious and didn’t have the capacity to kick, paddle, or help herself in any way.

If Andrea would not have noticed, she would have drown.

But she knew Anita. She looked for her, quickly noticed she was under too long, then dove in without thinking twice.

This has resonated with me….

When you are under too long, who are the people that will look for you, notice, and dive in to pull you to the surface when you lose your strength to swim?

Who are the people that would do that for you?

And can someone count on you to be that person that would go looking and notice when they are under too long, diving in to support them when they are all out of fight and fuel to swim in these turbulent waters we call life?”
