Rare footage captured by a doorbell camera in Las Vegas has highlighted what legal experts describe as a lack of transparency around recent ICE arrests in an increasingly tense political landscape. @bella_tweetss reports: thenevadaindependent.com/article/vegas-…

On a press call about the shutdown, I asked @MarkAmodeiNV2 how he thought it would end. "Catherine Cortez Masto is right, they're incredibly expensive," he said. "I don't think it's a long-term thing." @GOPMajorityWhip added he hopes Dems vote to reopen today.


NRCC's got a 4-figure digital ad buy in NV blaming Dems for shutdown, echoing nat'l fight. NRCC Spox @C_RMartinez: "Titus, Lee & Horsford’s shutdown put critical programs that Nevadans rely on at risk, just so they can prioritize open borders & handouts for illegal immigrants."


I didn't know it was possible there'd be more Nevada news in a day than national news, but it seems like today there really was!

Asked if Trump’s layoff threat affected her decision, @SenCortezMasto said, “No, I think that's just ridiculous. That just shows you how ridiculous the arguments [are] on both sides, that they're willing to harm Americans.”


On the way to the floor, @SenCortezMasto would not share how she plans to vote tonight on the House Republican CR. She blamed Trump and the GOP for creating problems for Nevadans and said she’ll have more to say on the path forward after seeing how the votes fall.


NEW: In letters exclusively obtained by the Indy, Nevada GOP state legislators—including leaders @drrobintitus & @GHafenII & #NV01 candidate @CarrieBuck4NV—urge Senate leadership & the NV senators to pass the clean funding extension backed by the House GOP and prevent a shutdown.
