Sen Fischer is right on the nose with her response to the Tyson Foods plant closure in Lexington. The rest of our delegation and our not sober governor seem to not grasp how freaking devastating this will be to this Nebraska community. #NESen

Pretty sure I know who needs to hear this, but... This is not real. Don't click on it. #GOPTariffs
Also, if anyone says we are getting $2,000 from the tariff "surplus" that it's real either. #TMYKYK

Free article that helps explain what you need to know about open enrollment that begins today.
Also, feel free to reach out to your federal elected officials and demand that we have options for affordable and accessible healthcare. #NE01 #NE02 #NESen

Open enrollment starts today!
Prices are skyrocketing and many will confront sticker shock when they log in. Small business owners, farmers and those that cannot afford employer health plans all use the marketplace to access insurance. From today's @OWHnews 👇

The administration could choose to use contingency funds to fund SNAP through November but they have chosen cruelty. Taking food from kids, seniors and veterans instead of doing their job. Shameful. #NE02 #NE01 #NESen #FeedTheKids

❌ Day 39 of the House Republican vacation. 🌴🍹
They could be in DC doing their job and negotiating on a solution, but instead 42 Million humans will have less food available, where 40% of them are kiddos.

❌ Day 48 of the House Republican vacation 🌴🍹

Quick: The Rep Tax Law that passed this summer extended the 2017 tax law that was set to expire 12/31/25. They made tax breaks to billionaires permanent and tax breaks to a small group of peeps expire in 2 years.
Fix healthcare.

✨ Are Republicans ready to talk about insurance increases yet??? Or will they continue their 34 day vacation?
Our family has zero preexisting conditions and our plan for a family of 4 is not affordable.
2025 - $1,996.25
2026 - $2,709.85
$713.60 a month increase.

🚨 Nebraska healthcare marketplace numbers from Medica just dropped... It's not great.
2025 - $1,744.98
2026 - $2,433.27
An increase per month of $688.29.
This is for an older couple not yet retired, how are they supposed to afford this??

In order to afford the additional tax breaks for super rich people, we are taking away food access.
The article posted below is a great explainer on the chaos created by the Big Ugly Bill supported by all of the Nebraska federal delegation.

Today veterans, seniors, kiddos and refugees lose food access in Nebraska.
Our federal delegation voted for this so they could afford to give larger tax breaks to the ultra wealthy.

"Consumers are facing greater costs for their 2026 A.C.A. health coverage as Congress continues to debate whether to extend subsidies that help people afford their premiums."
Today is Day 29 of the Republican House member vacation. So there's that. #NE02 #NE01 #NESen

Trump cancelled 94 million pounds of food from being delivered to local food banks. This includes 21 cancelled food deliveries to the @Food4Heartland. Taking food access away from anyone facing hunger is just cruel. #DoBetter #GOPTariffs #NE02 #NESen

Most peeps are stacking debt and are not able to keep up with monthly payments and you can't leave a job that you don't like because no one else hiring. Instead of "day one" it's maybe next year or even the year after that when the economy will get better. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"Ending the subsidies would result in higher premiums for more than 20 million people. Of the 75 congressional districts where at least 10% of the population is enrolled in the Affordable Care Act, 62 are in red-leaning Florida, Georgia and Texas..."

Dems are in DC fighting to save health care for 20 Million Americans as GOP sits at home on recess, waiting for a shutdown. If Republicans get their way, premiums will skyrocket 75% + millions lose coverage. Families can’t afford their vacation politics.
