GOP to America: Stop clinging to your healthcare and retirement. We are all going to die sometime. We’re just gonna make sure it happens sooner, and from a homeless shelter.

These are all counties that don’t have jails to hold people ICE grabs off the street.

IRS’s Direct File wasn't open source while it was being developed. But somebody just made it public!

Taco Bell is seriously missing out if they don't do a .47 cent taco.

Republican Rep. Mike Flood appeared before his constituents in Nebraska for a town hall that turned ugly as he tried to defend Trump’s “big, beautiful bill." Unfortunately, Flood hadn’t actually read the bill...

Does anyone place flowers at the graves of loved ones even if they didn’t die in service to our country?

On this day in 1967, The Beatles released their ground-breaking album, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNs...

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive. Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it. Whoops. www.sltrib.com/news/politic...

Two NWS offices that cover rural parts of Nebraska will no longer monitor local weather around-the-clock because of DOGE cuts Nearby offices will have to handle the load during those shifts, which could threaten public safety My latest @nebraskaexaminer.com nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/05/24/n...

If you do in fact want Covid boosters for yourself or anyone, you can submit public comment to the FDA here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

1/ Good debunking "Trump played a video clip that showed a long line of white crosses on the side of a highway, which Trump said were 'burial sites for white farmers. The video was made in...during a protest against farm murders after two people were killed...The crosses did not mark actual graves"

We have 2 DAYS left to comment and tell RFK Jr that we demand that everyone be able to get an updated covid vaccine/booster. There are currently 8k comments. Can we get it to 10k? Share widely, tell your friends to comment and push back. If we push back, they walk back.

Meet Jayden Speed! Running for Nebraska's 2nd Legislative District. He's a rural Nebraskan fighting for a new generation in the Good Life. Learn more at speedfornebraska.com #NebLeg #RuralNebraska #NewGeneration @jaydenlspeed.bsky.social

I offered an amendment to the budget supporting Trump’s effort to lower drug prices. Every Republican in Committee voted no.

There was no “legislation opening our border”. No such thing. The (bogus) issue he raised about the autopen was regarding Biden’s pardons. Not about the border.

Could this be any more disgusting?

As much as "But her E-mails" has become a running joke/battle cry, the perpetrators of it still haven't admitted to their role in that madness. I think that hangs over this manufactured idea that Democrats are going to have a Biden problem in 2028. We know how this works now.

I hope @jaketapper.bsky.social and @cnn.com are proud of themselves for needlessly attacking Joe Biden Long after his presidency ended and even though it was clear he'd never run again For questionable issues which-even if true-no longer make any difference

This is a strange thing for former Rep. Susan Wild to say considering that in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s forthcoming book she’s quoted saying this: “I cannot campaign with Joe Biden. If I defend the president, I lose my integrity. How do we go after Trump for lying if people see us as liars?”

Even if you take the new swings at Biden's age as warranted, the obvious lesson is the quality and competency of the president's cabinet and staff matters, since clearly we were a lot better off by every measure under that "failing old man" than this one. But I don't see that conclusion being drawn.

You can tickle the penguins And get them to laugh You can just sing a song To amuse the giraffes Just a little soft-shoe Will delight the woodchucks But try as you might You can’t

Great book talk today with Dennis Crawford & Dr. Laura Crawford at Lancaster County Dems! Their "RFK: The Road Not Taken – From NE to the White House" is packed with forgotten treasures on RFK's '68 campaign & NE's role. So knowledgeable! @dennispcrawford.bsky.social @nebraskadems.bsky.social

In Omaha’s mayoral race, the GOP incumbent dusted off her party’s hate playbook and ran a despicable anti-trans campaign. The Democrat refused to be intimidated. He campaigned for LGBTQ+ votes, while the Dem Party mocked the incumbent’s desperate lies. Omaha elected the Democrat. By a landslide!

Oh, the irony: Nebraskans have been spared huge increases in private school tuition relative to their neighbors in Iowa, who adopted vouchers.

Adrian Smith (NE CD-3) is cosponsoring this bill. Sounds just like the scheme Nebraska tried to pull a couple of years ago that was quashed by the voters.
