Republican David Flippo repeatedly claimed he served in Operation Desert Storm. New reporting shows he was in college in Montana at the time. REMINDER: Flippo also lied about receiving a Bronze Star for Valor and was fired from his role at Eielson Air Force Base. #NV02
Hypocritical MAGAts melt down over the #alaskasenaterace while running their own head-fake candidate for #nevadagovernor with the same last name as the Dem and implying #AOC endorsement. #AOC should jump in to support #AaronFord. thenevadaindependent.com/article/pac-...

"The Reno branch, which traditionally employed about 10 prosecutors and covers 13 of the state’s 17 counties, will soon have zero attorneys, as its final two members plan imminent exits, three individuals said." Comforting.
RalstonReports@ralstonreports.bsky.social · 5mo agoIncredible reporting on Trump-loving hyperpartisan appointed by POTUS as U.S. attorney and who can't get confirmed by Senate: She ignored recusal orders, got involved in cases involving friends and political associates, talked about indicting Dem gov hopeful. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

The #IranWar is going so badly, the White House is using Melania to resurrect the #EpsteinFiles to distract media attention from it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Melania says her piece about Epstein – doth the lady protest too much?
The first lady unleashed a barrage of denials – and put one of her husband’s biggest political liabilities back on the agenda
