   Nevada School Funding, Stadium Subsidies & the 2026 Election Stakes

   Nevada can help fund a stadium—but why are its public schools scrambling for emergency money? Annette and Maria-Teresa are back on One-Minute Recess to break down Gov. Joe Lombardo’s temporary school-funding fix, Clark County School District’s budget shortfall, and the debate over how Nevada pays for public education. We also unpack Lombardo’s request for voter citizenship checks, Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar’s response, and the stakes of Aguilar’s race against Jim Marchant in Nevada’s 2026 elections. Your comments take center stage as we revisit Budget Suites residents helping fund Allegiant Stadium, stadium jobs, and who benefits from public subsidies. Then we head beyond Nevada for the Jack Smith hearing exchange, Republican spending in previously safe House races, and Latin America’s changing views of the United States and China.
