One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

So here we sit:

1. The very thing our Founders feared - tyranny - sits in the White House.

2. A Republican-led Congress is fully subservient to the tyrant.

3. The Courts are ill-equipped to deal with the threat.

4. That leaves us. That leaves “we the people.” As it should be.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

In the article it says that NE Rep Don Bacon has signed the letter that he won’t support the cuts to Medicaid. Call this GOP rep to remind him of the number of his constituents who will lose coverage

His number is (202)225-4155

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Today we’re debating LB3—a bill to kill Nebraska’s split electoral vote system just because one district voted the “wrong” way. This isn’t about fairness. It’s about power. I won’t help dismantle one of the last systems we have that actually represents everyone. #NELeg

I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language.

But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

Trump is not done attacking our elections. He and his supporters plot every day to undermine the right to vote. They are constantly looking for opportunities to exploit weaknesses in the election system. This is their top priority.

The question for us is whether it is ours as well.

Today is a good day to remember how we had it all just a few months ago.

This is not a FAFO moment.

It's a sad day in America when millions placed their trust in an incompetent dimwit who is destroying the economic stability President Biden and Vice President Harris built for all of us.

Cutting Medicaid and gutting the CDC strips away health care from Americans who are already struggling.

These are lives, not line items. Health care is a basic human right, and everyone deserves access.
