NEWS: The Boring Company is working with a Nevada state-affiliated group to study a tunnel project that would go under the nine-mile stretch of highway from Reno to Tesla’s Nevada Gigafactory, which could help alleviate traffic, according to documents. fortune.com/2026/01/16/borin…
The Sierra Club opposes the bill as written.
"After a summer of robust opposition from the public to privatization of public lands, this bill is a slap in the face,” wrote @OliviaTanager, Sierra Club Toiyabe Chapter Director, in a press release today.
.@SenCortezMasto's Clark County lands bill is being heard this afternoon in the Senate Energy & Natural Resources hearing that just began. Her Western Wildfire Support Act and @SenJackyRosen's Pershing County lands bill are on the agenda, too.
So an Assemblymember can call in; however the public cannot...

Happy #NationalPublicLandsDay! Public lands are central to our national heritage. But these special places are under assault by @POTUS and @HouseGOP.
I worked across the aisle earlier this year to defeat efforts to sell off these treasured lands in Nevada to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Now, more than ever, it is critical for us to stand together to protect these lands for generations to come.

I’ve just introduced a bipartisan resolution that recognizes September 27th as National Public Lands Day. The fight to protect these special places for future generations continues. Make sure to visit your favorite National Parks and Monuments tomorrow for free to celebrate!

The number of passengers going through Harry Reid fell behind 2024 again in August, this time by 5.8%. And despite discussions about international travel, it's domestic that's seeing the bigger hit at 5.9%. (International travel had a 3.7% drop.) @LasVegasSun
By rescinding @BLMNational's Public Lands Rule, @SecretaryBurgum is attacking conservation efforts and opening up our public lands to irresponsible oil drilling. I have long worked to protect these special places and oppose this effort to overturn this critical rule.

Thank you to everyone who joined my public lands roundtable. It was a success!
It is important to discuss sustainable development, especially when we consider our public lands. I’ll continue advocating for both, as I return to Congress next week.

This news is devastating.
David has spent decades documenting Nevada. He's not only a talented and insightful photojournalist, but also a generous person.
If you've ever worked with him, laughed at his jokes or been moved by his storytelling, please consider giving.
I am beyond disgusted by these business groups pretending like NV’s heat regs are the Gold Standard when we have yet to have any data to show whether they are even making a difference.
We defeated the effort to use our treasured public lands to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. @SenMikeLee has withdrawn his reckless land grab from the BS Republican budget.
See you in Tahoe tomorrow!

Hey @realDonaldTrump and @SenMikeLee 👋 We’ve been holding town halls asking Nevadans what they want to see in their communities. And newsflash- Nevadans don’t want public lands sold off now or ever.
“We have so much land.
We want to put it to use.
We’re going to have land release, and on that land we’re going to build housing.” -@POTUS

Community note
This video is from August 2024 and was specifically referring to land in southern Nevada near Las Vegas: ktnv.com/news/channel-1…
It has nothing to do with the land sale amendment to the BB
If you think building housing on public land in the desert is the solution to the housing crisis, it’s only because you are too lazy and corrupt to listen to working class people and instead are bought off by corporate developers.
