Joe Lombardo: “I think he’s done good. He’s done exactly what he ran on.”
Yesterday, in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Joe Lombardo told reporters, “I think he’s done good” in reference to Donald Trump laying off Nevadans with federal jobs, eliminating the Department of Education, and pushing a scam that’ll force Medicaid to be cut for hundreds of thousands of Nevadans in order to help pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
Here’s a list of things Joe Lombardo thinks are “good”:
- Donald Trump pushing a budget to kick more than 300,000 Nevadans off their coverage to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and large corporations.
- Trump eliminating the Department of Education, which has provided Nevada students and schools nearly $6 billion in critical funding over the last five years.
- Elon Musk firing veterans and making cuts to the VA. Veterans account for about 34% of the nearly 14,000 civilian federal employees in the state.
- Musk announcing plans to eliminate a Las Vegas Social Security office that services thousands of Nevadans.
- Musk’s DOGE firing Nevada’s federal workers whose jobs were to maintain and secure federal properties.
- Elon Musk cutting National Park Service employees across the state, including more than a dozen at Nevada’s Lake Mead National Recreation – some of whom were responsible for testing for toxicity levels in the water. Lake Mead was the ninth most-visited site in the country and has an economic impact of $358 million on Nevada’s economy.
- Musk’s DOGE cutting an Indian Health Service center and Bureau of Indian Affairs location in Elko that provides primary care to over 11,000 patients from four Native colonies and three reservations.
- Elon Musk firing Forest Service workers who work to prevent and manage forest fires, increasing the risk of deadly wildfires.
- Trump eliminating medical research funding going to Nevada universities.
- Trump cutting funding for job-creating clean energy projects.
- Trump imposed costly tariffs on our largest trading partners like Canada and Mexico that will cost the typical household $1,200 per year.
