June 10, 2024 · Rob Kachelriess
🧑🌾 Have you been to the Las Vegas Farm? It gets overlooked a bit due to its location near Gilcrease Orchard, but is a wonderful sanctuary for animals of all sizes 🐖 🐄 🐈 🐇
The Farm is open to the public on weekends and just introduced new pathways with wheelchair accessibility. So make plans to come meet the animals and shop at the market 🍎 🥕 😁

🗳️ Trump Welcomes Heat, Hospitality Workers
Donald Trump’s rally at Sunset Park threatened to be a superspreader event for heatstroke, but benefitted from last-minute cloudy weather 🌤️ The presumptive GOP presidential nominee announced a proposal to “not charge taxes on people making tips,” specifically referencing “hotel workers” in Nevada. Trump also said he wants to see Sen. Jacky Rosen defeated, mentioning the Democrat by name. Guess who he didn’t mention by name? 🤔 Any challengers vying for the GOP nomination in tomorrow’s primary. He waited until after the speech to formally endorse Sam Brown. [KSNV/AP]
🥱 Nevadans Meh on Early Primary Voting
