The Supreme Court rejected Florida's attempt to sue California and Washington for issuing commercial truck driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants. The lawsuit followed a fatal 2024 crash in Florida involving an undocumented immigrant. While the majority declined to hear the case without comment, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a dissent joined by Justice Samuel Alito arguing the Court should have accepted it.

The loss of global tourism has hit the state's economy and become a serious concern among Nevada lawmakers ahead of the midterm elections this fall, according to Politico.But Lombardo apparently did not have a strong stance on the topic, 2 News Nevada reported."I don't know all the nuances of foreign policy associated with that and the tariffs and how it directly affects Nevada, but me as the governor of the state of Nevada, I'm concerned about Nevada," Lombardo said.In February, Nevada State Treasurer Zach Conine said that Trump's tariffs have cost the state $2.1 billion and Conine has demanded that the administration pay the state for costs incurred as a result of the president's policy, KOLO 8 News Now reported.Nevada Gov.
