82 years ago, Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy and changed the course of history.

Thousands gave their lives to defeat tyranny and defend freedom. We owe them everything.

On this D-Day Anniversary, we honor the Greatest Generation. We will never forget.

[Governor Jim Pillen @TeamPillen]

This is a great decision out of Nebraska’s federal district court and long overdue. Thanks to President Trump’s @TheJusticeDept and @NEAttorneyGen for their work to get this issue the focus it deserved.

IT'S OFFICIAL - June is Marriage & Family Month in Nebraska!

NFA was honored to join @TeamPillen for a proclamation signing recognizing the importance of the nuclear family and formally designating June as Marriage and Family Month, the first of its kind in our state's history!

God's design for the family has been the foundation of every society since the creation of the world, and while other states choose to celebrate “pride,” Nebraska is standing for truth.

Proud to sign the Fairness for Girls petition.

No girl should lose her scholarship or championship spot to a biological male. Common sense should be written into our constitution.

Should Christians keep their faith out of government? Read Week 6 of our "Under God" devotional to learn why Christians should engage with government through a biblical lens. https://t.co/3hcRG80QjR

@UNK_GOP @RhuleAid Education’s “accountability” is a joke. Schools audit themselves or tap friendly insiders. Mutual back-patting w/rare wrist slaps. No real oversight like OSHA, FDA, or EPA. No fear of shutdowns. I’d love my biz audited by friends instead of FDA enforcers who can lock my doors.

The report raises a whole lot of questions -- ones I'm sure The Plains Sentinel will dig into in the coming weeks.

🚨Friday news dump from UNK as they've released their report from their "internal review." The university denies most of the major claims made in our reporting, but says they plan on making a few changes going forward.

Thread - “Tim Walz 2.0”:

1/ Nebraska Dems’ Lynne Walz for Governor: Small donors via ActBlue? Or another cog in the national Democrat fundraising machine?

She’s a former teacher/state senator with deep NEA/NSEA ties, distant Walz family link, and heavy reliance on the same platform that powered Harris-Walz 2024. Time to connect dots.

There are a handful of private citizens across this State that would like you to investigate Jane Kleeb and her East Coast NGO ties.

Lawmakers Press UNK to Take Discrimination, Free Speech Concerns 'More Seriously'

[John Gage @johnrobertgage]

🚨NEW: Lawmakers are pressing UNK to take their internal review “more seriously” as we have more details on the university’s “DEI” hiring practices as well as claims that UNK is weaponizing NDAs to silence critics.

Visual Capitalist’s 2025 map shows Nebraska experienced net out‑migration of about 13.3 people per 10,000 residents in 2025. If that trend continues, it will erode our tax base and make funding even basic services much harder.

That risk is compounded by Nebraska’s high property‑tax burden, which raises housing costs and makes the state less competitive when companies weigh overall operating costs and site‑selection choices. We are already losing opportunities to states with more stable, favorable tax climates.

The time for serious conversation about property‑tax relief is over — it’s time for action. We need pro‑growth policies to stop the bleeding and begin bringing people and quality jobs back to Nebraska.

Our time is running out. The Nebraska Legislature must stop seeking ways to increase taxes and start finding ways to give our state an advantage with potential new businesses.

No GOP senate leader has ever lost 2 sitting members to primary challenges in one cycle until tonight. Congratulations John Thune.
