These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. —Thomas Paine, Dec. 23, 1776Covering politics for so long, I have learned, not without stumbling a time or two, to keep perspective.

Eight years ago today, a small band of journalists gathered around a kitchen table in Carson City and produced the first edition of The Nevada Independent. We had no idea how it would be received as we hit “publish,”but I can still recall the excitement and exhilaration as we saw our work appreciated. We were a small but mighty group of a half-dozen employees, and never did I think we would triple in size and become Nevada’s only statewide news organization. Your State. Your News. Your Voice.

I was wrong. I thought that the Democratic performance, validated with four consecutive presidential cycle victories, would be robust enough to overcome a strong Republican push to bank early votes. So I predicted Vice President Kamala Harris would win a squeaker here and that Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) would survive.

I should have done the mic drop in 2022. Picking the winners in the top two races, both of which were agonizingly close, should have been the swan song, the ride off into the sunset on my oracular career. But, no, I couldn’t just rest on the laurels of correctly choosing Gov. Joe Lombardo (1.5 percent win) and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (under 1 percent win). So here we go again.

“Now, his demands for investigations are starting to become more formalized through written presidential decrees as he seeks to use the power of public office to punish people and companies he has cast as enemies and silence potential critics.” Frightening. Chilling. Immoral.
