Without action from Congress to fund the federal government, a government shutdown started today.
A government shutdown could mean putting the nation’s economy at risk, delaying essential services, disrupting pay for federal workers and making it harder for people to put food on the table.

Last week, we asked you to tell Governor Pillen that we say NO to opening a large-scale federal detainment camp anywhere in our state. 🚫
Nebraskans made it clear: More than 18,300 people from 386 towns and cities throughout our state signed this petition saying this is NOT who we are.

This is not who we are.
NE is a state that welcomes our neighbors and values the contributions of local moms, dads, coworkers, neighbors, and friends. We don't want to be known as a state that separates families & locks up members of our communities in ICE detainment camps. neappleseed.org/49711

The Senate continues to debate the budget reconciliation bill that will devastate Nebraska communities by taking away SNAP and Medicaid from tens of thousands - all while funding sweeping deportations of longtime community members.

Like many of you, I have been monitoring what has been happening nationally and the impact this has on Nebraskans.
I was proud to join a bipartisan group of colleagues this past week to encourage our federal delegation to ensure Nebraskans are not left behind.
