La administración del Presidente Joe Biden incautó sitios web operados por el Kremlin y acusó a dos empleados de medios estatales rusos en su mayor esfuerzo hasta la fecha para frenar los intentos de Rusia de difundir desinformación antes de las elecciones presidenciales de noviembre. Las medidas incluyen acusaciones, sanciones y restricciones de visas, buscando interrumpir una amenaza persistente de Rusia que podría sembrar discordia entre los votantes. Según el Departamento de Justicia, dos empleados de RT financiaron con casi $10 millones a una empresa en Tennessee para crear videos en redes sociales con mensajes a favor del gobierno ruso, acumulando más de 16 millones de vistas en YouTube.

U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) announced that she has joined bipartisan legislation to create a pilot program to provide child care services for the children of law enforcement officers and accommodate their non-traditional work hours. The bipartisan Providing Child Care for Police Officers Act would provide $24 million to the Department of Health and Human Services to provide grants for opening child care centers that serve law enforcement families with the goal of easing the child care burden for police officers and enhancing officer recruitment and retention. “Nevada law enforcement works around the clock to keep our communities safe, which requires officers to work non-traditional hours that can make it difficult to find appropriate and affordable childcare,” said Senator Rosen. “I’m proud to have joined this bipartisan legislation to help provide police officers with the child care services and support their families need as they risk their lives for our security and safety. I’ll continue working across party lines to make sure Nevada’s law enforcement officers have the resources and support they deserve.” Senator Rosen has been working to support Nevada’s law enforcement community and ensure it has the resources needed to fight crime effectively and safely. She announced that a bipartisan bill she backed to fund family support and mental health services for law enforcement officers passed the Senate earlier this month. Senator Rosen held a press conference to highlight nearly $1 million in federal funding she helped secure to provide mental health training to law enforcement officers and first responders. She also announced more than $6 million in federal funding she helped secure for Nevada law enforcement, criminal justice, and public safety projects across the state was being delivered.

RENO, NV – In case you missed it last week, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) successfully pushed the U.S. Postal Service to keep local, first-class mail processing operations in Reno rather than moving forward with its plan to send  local mail out of state to Sacramento and back again. As a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, which has jurisdiction over USPS, Senator Rosen led the bipartisan effort to protect local postal operations in Nevada and push back against this misguided proposal.

The proposal would have rerouted local mail that started here in Reno over Donner Pass down to Sacramento and back before being delivered here. Nevada’s congressional delegation has fought hard against this plan for months, and just this morning, USPS officials announced that they would be scrapping the plan altogether. In a statement, they wrote, ‘There will be no change to the location for canceling certain originating mail in Reno. In simpler terms, outgoing single piece mail will continue to be processed at its current location.’” […] Anchor: “Senator Rosen, meantime, who led the bipartisan effort to keep things local here said in part, ‘The announcement that this widely opposed transfer of local mail processing operations will no longer happen is a huge win for our seniors, veterans and every person in northern Nevada who depends on timely mail delivery.’” Univision Reno: Rosen anuncia el Servicio Postal no moverá procesamiento de correo local a CA Presentador: “Y hay una actualización en este momento acerca del plan controversial de USPS de mover sus operaciones de Reno a Sacramento. USPS dijo esto en un comunicado que ya no seguirán con su plan de, primero, enviar todos los sobres y paquetes a Sacramento antes de regresar a Reno en camiones. Recordemos que la idea fue anunciada por USPS a principios de este año y no fue muy bien recibida por los líderes locales estatales, incluyendo la Senadora Jacky Rosen y el Gobernador Joe Lombardo, y además de algunos miembros de la ciudadanía.” KRNV Reno: Senator Rosen speaks on successfully pushing USPS to keep local mail processing in Reno Anchor: “Senator Jacky Rosen, the leader of the bipartisan effort to stop the USPS from moving mail processing out of our area held a news conference in Reno about this today. Rosen said she immediately got to work with other state lawmakers the moment she heard how detrimental this proposal would be to residents in northern Nevada, especially seniors and veterans. Rosen said it’s clear only someone unfamiliar with Nevada would support implementing this kind of plan.” Senator Rosen: “We’re here outside the Reno Postal Processing and Distribution Center, the only location where we process mail in northern Nevada, the only location. And I’m proud to say today that the local mail processing is here to stay.”  KRXI Reno: Senator Rosen successfully pushes USPS to keep local mail processing operations in Reno Anchor: “Senator Jacky Rosen held a press conference in Reno yesterday afternoon after nonstop bipartisan efforts to stop the USPS from moving mail processing out of our area.”  Anchor: “Senator Rosen said that she immediately got to work with other state lawmakers the moment she heard how detrimental this proposal would be to residents here in northern Nevada specifically, and especially for seniors and veterans. Rosen said it’s clear only someone unfamiliar with Nevada would support implementing such a plan.”  […] Anchor: “Rosen led Nevada’s Congressional Delegation behind this effort, which included Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Congressman Mark Amodei. Rosen at one point even pressed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy for answers on the proposal during a congressional hearing. And if you remember that one, Chris, that was when Postmaster General Louis DeJoy pronounced Nevada the incorrect way.” KTVN Reno: Senator Rosen successfully pushes USPS to keep local mail processing operations in Reno Reporter: “Well, Senator Rosen says she is happy with the progress being made, but she says there is still work to be done. She says her and other state leaders will continue to put pressure on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, but one thing is for certain.” Senator Rosen: “The local mail will stay here in Nevada. We will continue to work with Mickey and with the unions to be sure that anything going forward, that Nevadans receive their mail on time and that we don’t send it out. But mail that gets sent here from Nevada and is going to another place in Nevada, that’s what we know today.” KOLO Reno: Senator Rosen speaks on successfully pushing USPS to keep local mail processing in Reno Anchor: “There are both high-fives and a sense of relief following the news that the Postal Service has backed off on its plans to remove mail processing operations from Reno to Sacramento. That proposal announced last year by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy was a cost cutting move and it would have seen all local mail trucked to Sacramento for sorting. Well, that raised immediate concerns about winter weather over Donner Pass, causing delays of important mail including medications and mailed ballots during elections. Senator Jacky Rosen, who sits on the committee with the oversight [of] the Postal Service said hearings revealed DeJoy’s original decision was made in ignorance of local conditions.”  Senator Rosen: “I said, did he know about the Donner Pass, and when he said ‘Why would I know that?’ Because it’s his job

Un reportaje del Las Vegas Sun reveló que Sam Brown, candidato republicano al Senado de EE. UU., mantiene estrechos vínculos con el polémico Project 2025, un plan radical que busca remodelar el gobierno federal bajo liderazgo republicano. El plan propone prohibir medicamentos para el aborto, eliminar el Departamento de Educación, reducir fondos para Medicare y reabrir Yucca Mountain como depósito de desechos nucleares. A pesar de las preguntas del Sun, Brown se ha negado a distanciarse de estas medidas extremas y no ha respondido sobre su relación con Thomas Klingenstein, un donante clave de derecha. Brown enfrenta críticas por su alineación con una agenda que, según sus opositores, no representa a los nevadenses.

Las Vegas Sun: “Sam Brown doesn’t distance himself from the radical plans detailed in Project 2025 and has refused to answer questions from the Sun”  New reporting from the Las Vegas Sun has revealed that the leader of a group behind Project 2025 – the radical right-wing plan to remake the federal government – is spending millions of dollars to try and elect MAGA extremist Sam Brown. Brown “doesn’t distance himself” from his ties to Project 2025, which proposes banning abortion medication like Mifepristone, eliminating the Department of Education, gutting funding for Medicare, and restarting Yucca Mountain as a nuclear waste repository.  Brown’s close ties to this dangerous MAGA agenda make clear just how out of step with Nevada he is.  Las Vegas Sun: Nevada Senate hopeful Sam Brown stays silent on far-right donorKyle Chouinard August 31, 2024
