Farmers and ranchers are tired of politicians saying they will be friends during election time, then turning around and stabbing them in the back.

With the news that the Supreme Court temporarily blocked full SNAP payments, many of our friends and neighbors are in an even tougher spot

Please, if you are able, consider making a monetary contribution to a Nebraska Food Bank. They do great work & your money goes a long way 🙏

With Trump’s (great) statement about the Big 4 Meatpackers, do you think Pete Ricketts will actually (finally) be able to say something critical about the Big 4?
November 8, 2025 at 1:59 AM
Mr. President. 

This is a fantastic statement. As you note, The Big Four packers—JBS, Tyson, Cargill, and National Beef-are indeed “driving up the price of beef through illicit collusion, price fixing, and price manipulation.”

Right now, many of our friends and neighbors in Nebraska are having trouble putting food on the table. Especially during the holidays, this is heartbreaking to think about. 🧵

There are young adults in Nebraska with epilepsy waiting for medical marijuana.

There are cancer patients in pain.

There are veterans with PTSD.

All suffering because Pete Ricketts has a vendetta against medicine.

This is not just obstruction, it is cruel.

Missouri made $241 MILLION in marijuana tax revenue last year. Colorado has made over $3 BILLION since legalization.

How much has Nebraska made?

ZERO.

Foreign investors hold over 35 million acres of U.S. farmland. That’s an area LARGER than the state of New York.

In the past 17 years alone, foreign farmland holdings have DOUBLED.

Pete Ricketts' views on marijuana come straight from the 1936 propaganda film "Reefer Madness" that portrayed cannabis users as violent criminals.

It's 2025.

40 states have medical marijuana.

Time to join the 21st century, Pete.
November 6, 2025 at 4:19 PM
I would vote to deschedule cannabis as a Schedule 1 Drug in the U.S. Senate.

Pete Ricketts said, "If you legalize marijuana, you're going to kill your kids."

Any questions?
November 6, 2025 at 3:53 PM
This is a real quote.

If there is ONE person most to blame for medical marijuana being stalled in our state, it is unquestionably Pete Ricketts.
November 5, 2025 at 8:13 PM
Last year, Nebraska voters OVERWHELMINGLY approved 2 ballot measures to bring medical marijuana to our state.

The first, was a measure to legalize medical cannabis. 71% of Nebraska voters voted to approve this measure!

Republican Josh Hawley has introduced a bill in the Senate to fund SNAP so funding doesn’t expire for 42 million Americans. 14 other GOP senators have signed on to his bill.

Pete Ricketts is NOT one of these Senators.


I'd sign on to this bill without hesitation. WWJD? thehill.com/homenews/sen...

For Halloween, Pete Ricketts is going trick-or-treating dressed as someone who worked for all his money and someone who actually wants to release the Epstein files.

150,000 Nebraskans rely on SNAP benefits to eat. Of those, 70,000 are children.

The Senate needs to pass Josh Hawley's SNAP funding bill.

Had a great time at Here For The Food Festival a couple weekends ago!

Shout out to Keenan Eats for getting this amazing event together and for supporting our small businesses. The food was unbelievable, the drinks were amazing, & it was really nice to see so many people together having a good time

When:

-4 multinationals dominate the development and production of seeds and pesticides.
-Single firms monopolize each of the domestic markets for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers.
-5 companies control the nation’s meat and poultry industries.

The Big Four meatpackers have been sued MULTIPLE times for price-fixing.

They've paid over half a BILLION dollars in settlements (without admitting wrongdoing, of course 🙃).

McDonald’s, Target, grocery stores, ranchers—they’ve ALL sued these monopolists.

Pete Ricketts talks about "market based solutions" while Nebraska ranchers get squeezed by monopolists.

Enough talk. Enough empty buzzwords.

Here are FOUR concrete policies that will actually help our ranchers.

Watch.👇

In 1970, cattle ranchers earned 70¢ of every consumer beef dollar.

Today, they get just 30¢.

Where did the other 40 cents go? Straight into the pockets of JBS, Tyson, Cargill, and National Beef.
