We brought a bill to hold school districts accountable for the basic literacy of our kids.
It enjoyed the bipartisan support of a supermajority of the Legislature.
And yet, because of the Legislature’s broken filibuster rule—which requires a SUPER-supermajority of senators to end debate—this commonsense bipartisan bill died by filibuster without even a fair up-or-down vote.
The Nebraska Legislature’s antiquated and dysfunctional filibuster rule is failing our kids and failing our state.
I can't think of anyone I find more obnoxious and self-absorbed than Megan Hunt. "Think like me or I hate you" while calling other people Fascists. Text book rich kid liberal condescending elite. Thank God for term limits. @402meg https://t.co/Dv0XNxuiYp
Taxing non-income-producing property is wrong. Homeowners should not be forced to work to pay "rent" to the government for the privilege of living in their own homes. Property taxes should only be levied on income-producing property, as the income provides a means to pay the tax.
@dailyjobcuts I grew up on a car lot. Negative equity is one of the most devastating things that can happen to someone. They’re trapped. When a person buys a house or a car, the first question to ask: if I had to sell it tomorrow, can I afford to take the hit? If not, don’t buy it. Ever.
@Bloomberg Anchor Matt Miller just compared law enforcement officers at airports to Hells Angels at 60’s Altamont concert. I’m done with Bloomberg. Any good suggestions for a place to get live financial news?
Since 2010, when my #kids were still in school, there was a clear shift in their education and away from teaching critical and independent thinking. (We provided additional education to our kids to circumvent that.)
However, it has shown up in SAT scores.
@SharylAttkisson had three informative stories about COVID concerns, rising interest in nuclear, and Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization designation. Refreshing reminder of what good journalism looks like. I’m more educated on these topics after watching than I was before.
Congratulations to the @ApacheGroovy team for the 5.0 release - what a great milestone! Having been retired for two years now, looking back on it all - easily the best developer community I ever worked with. Amazingly nice and over-the-top talented!
@SenJoniErnst Really sad to see the hateful comments some make. Personally knew Daegan. I have family serving overseas, my friends have kids that are serving overseas. We enjoy our life here because they willingly put their lives on the line. All at the ceremony had their life forever changed
