'They don’t know how to do a price reduction.'

As results were indicating on primary night, wild-eyed election denier, inveterate cabal-spotter, and general purpose full-on whackadoodle Jim Marchant will in fact be the Republican challenger to Democratic Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar in the general election. I've seen/heard some snooty remarks proclaiming a Marchant primary victory all but assures Aguilar's reelection. That seems a reasonable assumption, the race being a rematch of the 2022 SOS race, which Marchant lost. But Marchant only lost to Aguilar by less than 3 percentage points. And the last most prominent thing the Nevada electorate did was elect Donald Trump president. Which it to say there is reason to believe "reasonable" ain't what it used to be.

"The court didn’t say we are wrong. It didn’t say the harm isn’t real. It didn’t say the executive orders are constitutional. It simply said that what the President is doing to us is too much for one court to stop. That we must instead chase each individual action carrying out his fossil fuel agenda separately, case by case, while the harms to our lives, health, and futures continue to compound in real time."
