Rosen says Republicans can’t be trusted in election year • Nevada Current
U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen prides herself on being one of the most bipartisan senators in Congress, but on Thursday at a Las Vegas roundtable on reproductive freedom, Rosen unloaded on Republicans – including her 2024 election opponent, Sam Brown.
“If Republicans take back the Senate, they’ll do everything they can to ban abortion across the country and right here in Nevada,” she said. “We can’t trust a word they’re saying, not when it’s an election year.”
Rosen said Brown, who unsuccessfully ran for state office in Texas and supported extreme anti-abortion legislation, “will do or say anything to get elected. That’s why he’s trying to cover up his anti-choice record.”
Rosen was leading Brown in polls before Pres. Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race.
On Saturday, she’ll attend Vice-President Kamala Harris’ rally in Las Vegas, where she says she’s looking forward to greeting Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
Rosen was joined at the event by Jessica Mackler, president of EMILY’s List, a powerful national organization that supports pro-choice candidates.
Mackler said the issue at the heart of the upcoming is “what is the future that we want for this country, and are people going to choose a path that is about this very narrow world view in which our choices are controlled, or are we going to choose a future in which everybody has an opportunity?”
Rosen lashed out at the Supreme Court, noting nominees “promised the people that Roe was the law of the land and they went back on their word,” she said of the court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to an abortion.
Rosen, who has already voiced support for some of Pres. Joe Biden’s Supreme Court reforms, says term limits for the high court’s justices would help hold them accountable and “might take off some of this oppression people feel about appointing judges for a lifetime. They can be there forever, and I think it would make the court more receptive to really doing their job and being arbitrators.”
Biden’s proposed reforms include 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices, an enforceable code of conduct, and a constitutional amendment that no former president is immune from prosecution for crimes committed in office.
Tips and taxes
Despite her election year distrust of Republicans, Rosen defended her support of Sen. Ted Cruz’ No Tax on Tips Act, a concept former Pres. Donald Trump says he got from a waitress in Las Vegas while having lunch.
“I got my information from a very smart waitress,” he said at a rally in Las Vegas in June. “They make money. Let them keep their money.”
The Center for American Progress says that because many hospitality workers earn low wages, about a third pay no taxes and would not benefit from the measure. Some may no longer qualify for breaks, such as the Earned Income Credit, if they don’t report tip income.
Additionally, the proposed legislation, if enacted, could spawn abuse by wealthy taxpayers who could find loopholes in the law that would allow them to classify income as tips and avoid paying hundreds of millions of dollars to the government.
“I can tell you that 25% of the Nevada workforce is in the hospitality industry, and they heavily rely on tips,” Rosen said, noting she is the chairwoman of the Commerce Subcommittee on Tourism, Trade, and Export Promotion.
She added that Culinary Local 226 supports the legislation, which was introduced by Cruz in June, and has become a rallying cry for Trump. It is also supported by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, a Democrat from Nevada. “This is going to help those tipped workers be able to not pay taxes on tips,” Rosen said.
In follow-up questions submitted by the Current, Rosen did not say by deadline whether she’d insist on guardrails to deter taxpayers from exploiting loopholes, or which workers would find tax relief via the measure.
Bethany Khan, spokeswoman for Culinary Local 226, says the union has no data indicating at what income levels workers would benefit from the measure.
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The Wolf Pack are headed on a road trip! A whole group of Nevada coaches, student athletes and staff are hitting the road across Northern Nevada to spread the brand of Wolf Pack athletics.
The trip will span over three days and over a thousand miles across the region, giving them the chance to connect with fans, alumni, and all the communities across Northern Nevada.
“It’s a really fun opportunity to get out in a lot of communities in Northern Nevada that often times come to Reno to support the Wolf Pack,” said head football coach Jeff Choate. “It’s an opportunity for us to get our brand out locally and just interact with some great people.”
The Coaches Caravan kicked off their journey Monday morning in Carson City, gathering at the Nevada State Capitol, greeted by a group of Wolf Pack faithful who were beyond excited to have the opportunity for interaction.
“So much about what college athletics is are bringing communities together. There’s nothing that brings a community together like sports,” said athletic director Stephanie Rempe. “It lets them get to know our coaches and athletes and the things that they’re trying to do to represent the university and the state of Nevada. Getting to know them and meet them makes you care that much more and makes them want to come support and cheer on the Pack!”
The Coaches Caravan continues through Northern Nevada until their final stop on Wednesday afternoon, meeting with thirteen communities around the region in total.

The Las Vegas Raiders have orchestrated many groundbreaking moves this offseason, but none as important as the impact they made at a fundraising event.
Over the weekend, the Raiders hosted the Silver & Black Gala, raising $2.5 million for mental health in Nevada. Sunday marked the third time the organization had hosted the event, which has produced a tremendous turnout.
Several individuals spoke during the event, including Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis and president Sandra Douglass Morgan, who each highlighted the importance of acknowledging mental health.
Davis’ Thoughts
- “We’re here to raise money for mental health, which is one of the most important things we can all deal with,” Davis said. “Every one of us is impacted by mental health and our families, friends, or anywhere else, we are all directly affected. That’s why it’s so critical to raise money for our community. We’re grateful for you all, and appreciate you being here.”
Morgan’s Thoughts
“Mental health remains one of the most urgent issues across Nevada,” Morgan said. “Through the Silver & Black Gala, the Raiders Foundation is helping expand access to trusted, community-based resources that meet people where they are. This year’s recipients reflect the depth and complexity of that work, supporting our community in schools, clubhouses, homes, shelters, and family systems statewide.”
The Raiders also honored former player Carl Nassib and NFL broadcaster Jay Glazer on Sunday night as the winners of the Commitment to Excellence award. Here is what each of them had to say.
Glazer’s Thoughts
- “First, this is incredible what the Raiders are doing,” Glazer said. “God blessed me with the ability to communicate, so I’m going to use that to try and help other people. When we’re willing to share our scars, we turn them into strength—into something that connects us as teammates with nothing to hide. That’s what builds a true team, a championship team. I’m proud to stand with you and be part of this team tonight.”
Nassib’s Thoughts
- “It is truly a privilege to be up here,” Nassib said. “We’re creating space for people to be vulnerable—and that work is truly lifesaving. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about showing up and reminding people they’re not alone.”
Overall Thoughts
This has been a tremendous event over the last few years, and the Raiders’ organization has done a great job of raising awareness for mental health. This will be an event that the team will continue to host in the future.
