Nebraska's federal delegation unanimously voted to cut SNAP and Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the wealthy while dramatically increasing ICE's budget. Our tax dollars should be used to help people, not scare them.

We’ve been saying this for months! After House votes allowing tariffs to remain in place in 2025, Congressman Don Bacon appears to be changing his tune. Working class Nebraskans need relief and more affordability.
