BREAKING: In a stunning moment, James Talarico just unveiled a last minute endorsement from a Republican who served with Ken Paxton in the State House. Every Texan needs to see this.

Sparks will fly. Drinking water will be wasted. Pete Ricketts & Data Centers star in a love story for the ages. Coming to a backyard near you if he gets his way.

Signed into my healthcare plan and found that if I stick with the same plan for our family as this year, our monthly premium is going up an additional $500/month. A 24.7% increase.
The Republican Tax Law cut people from Medicaid and cut the tax credits to afford the ACA. Not sure how people can afford this. #NESen #NE02 #NE01

#Nebraska 2 Minute Warning so were you in North Platte today getting hoodwinked by JD Vance? Let's do the Cowboy Arithmetic on the "Green" Ammonia plant y'all cheered for at the rally. Trump is breaking the American Farmer/Rancher.

Literally the Nebraska GOP announcing two weeks before the election that they want to make gas more expensive
The Platte Institute just put out a road map ahead of their yearly legislative summit for up to $2 billion in new taxes on Nebraskans. New taxes on your groceries, gas, doctor’s appointments, prescriptions, dentist. Car repairs. Haircuts. Even your water.

Like I genuinely don't get the strategy behind dropping this 2 weeks before the election when it calls for slapping a new 5.5% tax on gasoline.

The Platte Institute released a report today suggesting, among other things, that we should start taxing groceries, doctors visits, and residential water. The Governor and several other lawmakers are at their event right now. Do they support taxing these things?

I worked a ton on this bill, LB43, drafting, negotiating, meeting with Senators, explaining - all the things, back in 2020.
Then 2 short years later Ricketts was the deciding vote to grant a pardon to a convicted rapist.

As Governor, I signed Nebraska's Sexual Assault Victims' Bill of Rights.
The law strengthened protections for sexual assault survivors. It expanded access to victim advocates. It also established requirements for preserving forensic evidence.
The law gives survivors greater support throughout the legal process.

Wait until you find out that this wasn't his only pardon of a convicted r@pist.
