@vince_powers Pricketts and Fischer writing their campaign mailers. They make listing their shortcomings easy. No nuance at all.

Democrats want to compensate injured police officers, republicans want to compensate the convicted criminals who assaulted and injured police officers

Glad to see Don Bacon on the right side of history after voting with the GOP the majority of his time in Congress (95_98% votes with Republicans)

@traitortrumpy This will be the biggest and most ignored nothing burger anniversary celebration since Columbus in 1992.

The 200th was amazing. The 250th has been trod underfoot in the mud by Dumpty and company. The cost matters nothing to six-time bankrupt who couldn't even profit from casinos

Nebraska farmers and ranchers should not have to ask Washington for permission to work their own land.

Biden's EPA tried to regulate ditches and wetlands on Nebraska farmland. His EV mandates threatened our ag and trucking industry. I helped introduce the CARS Act and a bipartisan CRA to block both.

Nebraska producers deserve certainty. I will keep pushing until they have it.

@PeteRicketts Simpleton Trump tool speaks again, and just like his mentor, dumbs down the truth and exaggerates. Bankruptcy brought by destructive Trump and Senate policy is the only thing causing Farmers to lose "permission". No one has right to exploit and pollute. #Fictionoverfact

[Linda In Omaha @LindaInChicago]

@PeteRicketts Nebraska farmers shouldn't lose their farms because of Trump and Republicans disastrous policies. Fixed it for you. Hoping to see you voted out so farmers and the rest of the state get the help they deserve before it's too late.

@NebraskaSower @SenatorRicketts @SmithfieldFoods @BoldNebraska We knew even then @PeteRicketts was a lying liar and a no good person.

@SenatorRicketts "One of the biggest beneficiaries from @SmithfieldFoods is, no surprise, Gov. Pete Ricketts who took $10,000 from the Chinese-owned big pig corporation."

I'll never understand Republicans not supporting young people wanting to go to college, not go into debt and improve their lives...these are kids who were brought to America as babies, raised in America, wanting to go to school in the state they were raised in and the Republicans treating them like villains.

@BohuslavskaKate Rubio, Vance, Trump - Russian tools.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Rep. Keating to Rubio: "I'm sure you're aware that Ukraine, country that at the time had third-largest nuclear arsenal, peacefully turned over their nuclear weapons in conjunction with Budapest Memorandum.

And in exchange for U.S. commitment to defend Ukraine if it ever came under threat. The U.S. gave its word to Ukraine that it would defend them.

And I find this amazing. In your opening remarks, as you took us all over the world and mentioned 15 different incidents where you have interceded — 15, the top 15 — not once did you mention Ukraine when you were prioritizing achievements that are there."

Four companies control most of the fertilizer market in America.

They own the mines. They own the processing plants. They control the distribution network. No competition can get in.

Fertilizer prices up 150% since 2020. Farm bankruptcies up 46%. The U.S. lost 94,000 farms between 2021 and 2025.

This isn't the free market. It's a cartel.

Last week the FTC launched a historic investigation. Farmers from 18 states showed up in Texas to demand action. And Nebraska should be leading that fight.

During the worst fertilizer price crisis in a generation, Pete Ricketts was governor of one of the top agricultural states in the country and did absolutely nothing to protect Nebraska farmers from price gouging.

And if that wasn't bad enough, Ricketts has taken PAC money from the very fertilizer companies gouging Nebraska farmers! That money buys silence. And silence is exactly what Nebraska farmers have been getting.

Ricketts stands with the fertilizer monopolies. I stand with farmers.
