In New Hampshire this week, Hillary Clinton referred to undocumented immigrants as "illegal," pointed to her support for a border fence and mentioned the impossible logistics of rounding up 11 million people, a stark contrast to the overt pitch to DREAMers and the Hispanic vote she has made in Nevada.
"Very different, disappointing tone," well-known Nevada progressive activist Laura Martin told me. "That language is not acceptable here."
Nationally known DREAMER Astrid Silva said, "It's ...

4. Sheldon and the WH race
5. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week
Once again, dear premium subscribers, our special session hopes have been dashed – or at least delayed. I am hearing rumblings of disgruntlement from some GOP lawmakers who put themselves out for the tax increase and now being asked to come back to vote for a tax incentive package – if it happens. What an...
UPDATED, 7:30 AM, 11/5/15: Fiore asserted the government essentially put her out of business with regulations and fees in a goofy news release I posted below. She compared herself to Rosa Parks on the radio Thursday (I am serious.). And despite saying in July that she would welcome state inspectors and serve them treats, she attacked them this week, contradicting herself.
Also below: The final state letter sent to her this week.
Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, “I shut my business down...

As we await the special legislative session in the third week of November, with special interests already lobbying lawmakers to piggyback onto the Faraday tax package (um, only the gov sets the agenda, folks) -- it...
For many reasons:

During his appearance in Sparks on Thursday, Donald Trump said he had heard the same nonsensical conspiracy theory about Secretary of State John Kerry's daughter's connection to Iran -- the implication being that this affected his negotiations on the nuclear deal.
The Boston Globe's Kevin Cullen and others have debunked this garbage. But Trump was all ears during a Q & A after his speech:
Female Supporter: "The rumor that I heard is that John Kerry's daughter married a physician in Iran...
Following up on his rebuke from the bench when he denied the tax repeal petition put forth by Citizen Outhouse's Chuck Muth, Judge Todd Russell has written a thorough evisceration of the attempt, setting forth language that jeopardizes the ongoing effort by the Political Arsonists Club of Nevada.
Russell, in his decision posted below, essentially said Muth does not know the law and made no attempt to abide by it.
It's almost as if he is still soliciting money for the tax repeal effort just to...

1. Exclusive look at Nevada presidential race contributions
2. Seaman vs. Nelson in SD6
3. Laxalt vs. Sandoval
4. Mulroy to Wynn board
5.Angle moving toward U.S. Senate race
6. Smartest/dumbest moves of the week
My insiders think, as do I, that SD6 comes down to Seaman’s anti-tax campaign vs. Nelson’s socially conservative base. Many think Seaman has the edge. She may. But if she wins the primary, the Dems have a solid edge in the general. It’s a D...
Early Saturday evening, Assemblyman Erv Nelson sent an email to his legislative colleagues, a brief but warm missive informing them he would be running for Mark Lipparelli's state Senate seat.
What ensued showed once again (as if we need another reason) how unfit for office Assemblywoman Michele Fiore is as she responded (replying all!) with a vicious and illiterate attack on Nelson, implying he was illegally moving into the district and saying her BFF Victoria Seaman was going to "kick your...
Attorney General Adam Laxalt this morning filed suit against the federal government's sage grouse land-use plan, going against the wishes of Gov. Brian Sandoval, who has been negotiating to prevent a listing of the bird.
"By pursuing litigation now, the Attorney General is acting in his personal capacity and does not represent the State of Nevada, the Governor, or any state agencies," Sandoval said in an unusally sharp rebuke to the AG. (Full statement below)
The lawsuit, which you can see...
