No need to get overwhelmed when you step into the booth and unfold your ballot today, Neb voters.

One more time for this voter guide, via @LibbySeline & co 👏

@EmiliaRuzicka @IRE_NICAR @ksophiewill Dang! What a dream team!!

[Libby Seline @LibbySeline]

Nebraska! There's less than one month until the election. Let's get ready to vote!

With the help of excellent colleagues at the @flatwaterfreep, I put together a voter guide on Unicameral, Board of Regents and State Board of Education races.

Find it here https://t.co/efOAEzVsmA

[Sara Gentzler @SaraGentzler]

Nebraska! Our voter guide has everything: candidate info, FAQs, the bar association's judge ratings, videos where I explain every ballot measure (while actively suppressing the Nebraskan urge to pronounce it ballot maysure). Check it out: https://t.co/jPhhBzNB73

Just listened to a podcast where they suggested Tim Walz's roots for calling people "weird" comes from his teaching days.

Nuh uh.

Tim Walz calling others "weird" is Nebraska™

A foiled school shooting plot defined his childhood.

Now, he defines himself through drag.

His story asks: Does a divided America, a nation in the throes of a war over identity, allow for second acts?

The State of Nebraska has spent nearly $5 million funding crisis pregnancy centers with anti-poverty money.

Some say the program is about helping needy women. Others, including a group in charge of the program, say it's really about curbing abortions.

Every year, a lottery determines who gets an H-1B visa to work in the US. The game, it turns out, is rigged.

Outsourcing and staffing firms are exploiting loopholes, crowding out US employers and immigrants who play it fair.

We have exclusive data to show it for the 1st time 🧵

Thread: Two years ago today, 19 fourth-graders and two teachers were killed at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde.

The children loved TikTok and baseball, Pokémon and Starbucks. The teachers died trying to save their students.

This is who they were:

14 student journalists. 13 schools. 12 states.

Hear from them — in their own words — about the campus protests, the antisemitism debate, and the emotional toll of covering these events: https://t.co/AVz57fUxi3

“But also, when we get here, we’re just like, I think I should have just stayed home…”

Must read story from Flatwater

[Flatwater Free Press @flatwaterfreep]

New @ FFP: A Norfolk nonprofit has brought 70 students from Malawi, one of the world’s poorest countries, to get a college education. But some students say they’re fed false promises and left penniless with no place to live.
