The US has tried to abolish political parties for 250 years due to the Founding Fathers overlearning from the Glorious Revolution. Every generation of reformers tries to pick up where the Founding Fathers left off without crediting them, like Cylons searching for Earth.

Congressman Amodei swinging at Flippo on this is a big deal. It'd be a bigger deal if he'd endorse Teresa Benitez-Thompson (or TBT, as we affectionately know her). #nvleg #nvpol

A Twitter screencap from journalist Dan Merica, which reads:
The retiring Republican congressman that Flippo is trying to replace, Mark Amodei, has yet to endorse Flippo and told me just now he will "absolutely not" back him. "The guy is a fraud... I'm not having my last action walking out the door to hug a guy who I think is a fraud."

The tweet goes on to quote the original Washington Post article, which is linked in the Bluesky post below this one.

It just hit me... "The Rehearsal" was a rehearsal. A rehearsal on making documentaries about awkward, unpleasant people as truthfully as possible. A rehearsal for making a documentary about Elizabeth Holmes. Nathan Fielder must be stopped. Or encouraged. Either way, at all costs.

Marchant has called for ending universal mail ballots, unregistering then re-registering all voters and eliminating the use of voting machines in favor of paper ballots. He also has previously floated using technology that measures people's heartbeats to verify their identities.

Nevada's cattle ranchers need a beef-related health scare like they each need a hole in their heads. Trump's surprise importation of 300,000 tons of discount mystery meat from unknown origins makes one much more likely. My latest for @thenvindy.com:

I've said it elsewhere but I'll say it here as well: A fundamental belief among many online conservatives is that lines are too long, there's too much traffic, and there were less of both when there were 100 million fewer Americans in 1980. Deportations and measles accomplish the same goal.

WNBA player Brianna Turner of the Las Vegas aces defended trans people on X in the wake of the Sophie Cunningham comments and then highlighted how the Heritage Foundation now wants to end Title IX.

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Brianna Turner (@_Breezy_Briii) from July 22.
The main text of the post reads:
“Because exclusion is never the answer...trans lives matter”
Beautifully said. I’ve been an advocate for the trans community since I entered the WNBA. So many takes about them are based on fear mongering and bigotry.
Below this is a quote tweet from Andrew Dukowitz (@adukeMN) posted on July 17, which reads:
Cheryl Reeve on the trans sports bans from her perspective of being a leader in women’s sports
“Of course it weighs on me, the attacks on trans people, the attacks that they’ve gone through...”
Attached to Dukowitz's post is a video thumbnail showing Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve being interviewed by reporters in a hallway with a Minnesota Lynx and Mayo Clinic backdrop. The video timestamp indicates it is 1 minute and 50 seconds long.

A screenshot of a post on X by Brianna Turner (@_Breezy_Briii) posted at 10:10 AM on Jul 24, 2026.
The main text of the post reads:
The Heritage Foundation, which laid the groundwork for Project 2025 & influences much of the current administration’s policies, recently released a report calling for the dismantling of Title IX in an effort to increase opportunities for male athletes & suppress female athletics
Below the text are two side-by-side image attachments:
The left image contains italicized text outlining the mission statement of The Heritage Foundation, which states they are building an America where freedom and civil society flourish, and that their mission is to promote conservative public policies based on "free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense."
The right image shows a document header from The Heritage Foundation labeled "First Principles Applied | No. 02 Gender and Equality". The title of the document is "Title IX’s Failed Experiment: Why Accommodating Sex Differences Beats Engineered Parity" by Scott Yenor. An introductory paragraph below the title argues that Title IX has become an engine of "feminist social engineering," stating that differences between the sexes are not merely stereotypes and arguing for an approach that "accommodates the partly natural, partly cultural differences between the sexes."

In 2002, the Nevada Supreme Court considered the residency of a county commission candidate who rented an apartment in a different district than the home where his fiancee and cat lived. In response, Nevada Supreme Court justice Robert Rose stated that "your home is where your cat lives."
