    The enabling of idiotic and/or pandering U.S. Senate/congressional/gov candidates by people who know better is just sad. Too few have stood tall, and on the eve of an anniversary of a day we will never forget, we should also never forget who did and did not try to save lives. 3/3

    It's amazing (or not) that on eve of the an awful but unifying event that so many people are reacting with such lunacy to another awful yet divisive event. It's not just the pathetic trolls and historical illiterates on this hellsite but people running for important offices. 1/3

    This data also reflects employee vax numbers as of this Tuesday (Sept. 7), with new numbers set to update weekly. Also, these are the correct numbers, versus some of the numbers that were mis-transcribed from the meeting in my original tweet!

    Here's the total employee COVID vax numbers for all institutions, presented the day the Board of Regents will consider a full employee vax mandate: DRI: 77.4% System Admin: 70% Nevada State: 64.1% TMCC: 62.5% UNLV: 61.8% GBC: 58.5% UNR: 52.5% WNC: 49.2%

    I'm told Lt. Gov. has submitted her official resignation letter, effective 9/17. The gov can choose to appoint or leave it vacant. But would gov pass up a chance to appoint someone who could help next year? We broke the news awhile ago:
