Nevada’s Special Session Meltdown: Cabo, Coups & Chaos

Listen Later

Nevada’s special session went completely off the rails — lawmakers walking out, caucus coups, housing reform self-destructing, and Governor Lombardo allegedly sunning in Cabo while bills sit unsigned. Just another week in the Silver State.

In this episode, we break down:

• The film tax credit meltdown
• The Hansens’ surprise housing flip
• Phone lines cut off during public testimony
• Nevada dropping to 50th in healthcare
• Explosive testing planned near Burning Man
• Why national democracies are calling out the U.S.
• Mark Kelly vs. Trumpworld over illegal military orders

If you want smart, fast, sarcastic political commentary with a Nevada lens, this is your episode.
