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.

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.

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?

This is a big deal. Quite literally, the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and their endorsed candidates are promoting an idea that the State of Nebraska should be able to override local zoning. This is 100% about Jim Pillen, Pete Ricketts, and their cronies in the Legislature being able to put data centers anywhere they want and profit from them. journalstar.com/news/state-r…
