"In a downtown bar on O Street in the capital city, Dan Osborn drank a 16-ounce draft Coors Banquet Beer.

During a sit-down interview with the Nebraska Examiner at O’Rourke’s Tavern, the occasional patron walked up to Osborn to tell him they support his bid against U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb..

My opponent @PeteRicketts voted to BAN hemp products in the Senate funding bill.

My opponent Pete Ricketts has also taken more than $48,000 from the alcohol industry and more than $28,000 from Big Pharma between 2023-2024.

Coincidence?

When I enlisted in the Navy, I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution.

That oath doesn't expire. Every generation of veterans has endured to uphold that promise, and I'm grateful for their service.

To all who've served: thank you.

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.”

Nope. It's a riff on the original Reefer Madness movie poster. 👍

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.

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

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.👇

I don’t just write strongly worded letters. I back REAL POLICY that would move the needle for Nebraska producers.

I had the honor of introducing LEGENDARY Omaha indie rock band @cursivetheband.bsky.social‬ on stage a few weeks ago.

Cursive is so cool.

If you are a 60 year old couple living in the 3rd District in NE making $85,000, your monthly ACA premium payment could jump 434% thanks to Pete Ricketts letting health insurance tax credits expire. Your $602 monthly payment could turn into $3,216.

I’ve talked to a lot of people in Nebraska who’ve had loved ones who couldn’t afford to see a doctor until it was too late. I’m blessed to get preventative healthcare screenings for me and my family through my union.

I went to the second annual Missing Persons Day gathering yesterday. I learned more about the issue from families, advocates, and law enforcement and learned what communities and elected officials can do better. My heart goes out to all those who have been affected.

In 2023, Nebraska exported $7.9 billion worth of agricultural goods, including $2.55 billion worth of soybeans and soybean products. Our top export market was China at $981.7 million. That market has been blocked in the trade war. 🧵

Schuyler tonight. Crete on Sunday. Wahoo next Thursday.

We’re facing a workforce shortage in Nebraska. The agricultural industry is no exception. To help fix this we must pass the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, which has strong bipartisan support from coast to coast.

Are you supporting victims or protecting their abusers, Pete Ricketts? That’s a big 180, sneaky Pete.

Trump’s Secretary of the Treasury supports banning congressional stock trading. Let’s get it done.

The tribal mentality of our politics isn’t just unhelpful; it’s harmful. It’s led to gridlock, growing cynicism, and a government that too often serves corporate donors and special interests instead of everyday Americans.

At Fareway last week. Consolidation and corporate profits are expensive.

My team and I went out to Western Nebraska this weekend. We talked to so many hardworking people who deserve better. It's time that our government look like us.

The United States is the most beautiful country in the world. Our national treasures, like Scottsbluff National Monument, should NEVER be for sale.
