The US spends 2x more per capita on health care than any other nation. Yet 85 million are uninsured or underinsured, 68,000 die because they can’t afford a doctor & we pay the highest prices in the world for Rx drugs. Health care is a human right. We must pass Medicare for All.

While both LB3 and LR24CR sit in committee, we wanted to give a shout-out to all Nebraskans who submitted comments. As you can see from the numbers, you overwhelmingly came out to support and protect the blue dot from all parts of the state. nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/01/30/d...

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

This is what we mean when we talk about corporate greed: Starbucks gave its CEO $96 million for just 4 months of work. Meanwhile, Starbucks is refusing to offer a raise of more than 50 cents an hour to 12,000 union workers. That's unacceptable. Starbucks must end their greed.

This week has sucked, but I’m proud of the tiny moments of peace I’ve been able to create inside of myself. It’s hard to do and I’m not that good at it yet, but I feel challenged to get better. I won’t tune out the world, but I also won’t let myself get lost in the chaos of it all.
