Great to have breakfast and chat family farm policy with Senator Peter Welch. I often talk with politicians who feel like they are in the pocket of big corporations and family farmer voices are ignored. Senator Welch seemed willing to listen and take action to help! #familyfarm

[Senator Peter Welch @SenPeterWelch]

I’m in Nebraska today, talking with farmers who are being hit hard by President Trump’s trade war just like the farmers in Vermont.

It took a long time and is definitely not everything requested but to have Paid Family Caregivers be a reality will change so many lives and help a tremendous amount of families! Thank you to everyone who was part of this work!

In her @thehill OpEd @FarmActionUS Pres Angela Huffman talks #maha & calls out how corporate power over our food system has not only upended farmers ability to feed their neighbors—its reshaped our diet entirely by prioritizing ultra-processed foods.

The Senate is taking steps to pass the “Big Beautiful Bill Act” that has poorly designed Work Requirements that actually discourage work. Check in the video to understand why and below to take action. #MedicaidMatters #GigWorkersCount #RedTapeKillsCare

After years fighting for people with disabilities through advocacy and education it’s time for a new approach to provide more direct political pressure to support people with disabilities. It’s time to organize and vote!

In 6 months, we’ve faced historic attacks on disability services. Calls to Congress aren’t enough. That’s why we launched National Disability Action to build real political power. If they won’t listen, we’ll vote them out. Join us:

A message from our board of directors..

[Nebraska Public Media News @NebPubMediaNews]

The State of Nebraska recently published its largest study to date of nitrates in drinking water. It suggested that around 17% of private wells in the state exceed the safe limit.

@getawaycarvic I’m at a work conference in Ohio and have been all week. I had a flight back to Nebraska tonight to celebrate her birthday. So now I’m hitching a ride to Indy to meet her to help drive her back. It would mean the world to her! (2/2)

[Edison McDonald @edisonmcdonald]

@getawaycarvic It’s my girlfriend’s birthday and she is a huge Swiftie! Streams every tour, does the Mastermind game, knows every song by heart, etc. We have both signed up for so many raffles and tried every angle. So she is driving to Indy from Nebraska (10 hours) on a prayer. (1/2)

Congress needs to hear from you! Tell them to prioritize and strengthen two essential programs for people with disabilities.

Excited to present this year at @TheArcUS Convention on Bridging the Divide! We will address the pivotal question of how we can effectively cut through the noise of our hyper partisan world to create real change. #Disability #Advocacy https://t.co/0BPCqAskUg
