Welcome back to your weekly rundown of the damage the Lombardo-Trump economy is doing to Nevada — from driving up costs to leaving working families behind. 

It’s back to school week and Nevada families are getting crushed by rising school supplies and grocery bills thanks to Trump’s illegal tariffs and war with Iran — both embraced by his cheerleader-in-chief, Joe Lombardo. 

After Lombardo’s harmful veto of guaranteed school meals, the Washoe County School District had to drain a six-figure savings account to cover the cost all while parents have been pummeled with over $200,000+ in school lunch debt, a figure that continues to rise.

This back to school week, here’s a look at how much Nevada families are paying for school supplies and groceries in the Lombardo-Trump economy: 

🎒 Lunch boxes are up 27 percent

📒 Notebooks, notebook paper, tissues and index cards are all up about 20 percent

✂️ Scissor costs are up 14 percent

🫐 12 ounces of blueberries are up 48 percent

🍞 A loaf of sandwich bread is up 22 percent

🧃 Apple juice prices are up 20 percent

🍊 A pound of oranges is up 17 percent

🍪 A package of chocolate chip cookies is up 14 percent
