Nevada politics just went full wild west, and One Minute Recess is here with the play-by-play. Annette reports live from chaotic, snowy Carson City while Mayte reacts and columnist Steve Sebelius breaks down the most unhinged special session Nevada has seen… maybe ever.

We’re talking:

• Lawmakers voting from vacation

• A rumored $100 million airport bribe

• A literal gun at the building

• Two overlapping special sessions — a Nevada first

• The film tax credit that refuses to die

• Housing mutiny

• SNAP + vaccine fixes

• Gaming companies getting everything (shocking, we know)

Nevada’s having *a week.*

In this episode, Annette and Mayte unload on the Democrats’ latest collapse — from the shutdown “deal” that wasn’t, to Nevada’s own senators caving on healthcare and SNAP. Chuck Schumer’s pinky promises, Lombardo’s special session chaos, and the Clark County “union” endorsing a union-buster? Yeah, it’s that kind of episode.

We talk:

* How Cortez Masto & Jackie Rosen just tanked their own momentum

* Schumer’s leadership flop (Harry Reid would *never*) * The SNAP benefits fight and why Nevada needs to step up

* CCEA’s wild endorsement of Lombardo

* Plus, some good news for the LGBTQ+ community and one perfect double-finger salute at Trump Catch the rant, the receipts, and the rage.

They also unpack the latest updates from the Interim Finance Committee and what’s next for a potential special legislative session on SNAP relief.
