Flatwater asked Gov. Jim Pillen’s office for records from his cell phone. Four months later, his office said he doesn’t have one. Critics call it an abuse of state disclosure laws.

In case you missed it: After Flatwater reported Otoe County could become home to a new data center, county officials approved a moratorium on new data centers. More Nebraska counties are considering similar moves.

Otoe County leaders just approved a moratorium on new data centers. More Nebraska counties are considering similar moves, reflecting growing worry about the industry's impacts on electricity and other resources.

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

At least 70 people, including some 60 children, were killed when U.S. and Israeli strikes hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, southern Iran, according to the Fars News.

The attack reportedly struck during school hours, with about 170 girls inside. Videos show families screaming and digging through rubble as rescue crews searched for survivors. Tehran has vowed retaliation.

Dr. Foad Izadi of the University of Tehran told Al Jazeera: “We are fighting the epstein class that either rapes little girls or bombs little girls.”

No, Secretary Kennedy

NO child should die from measles.

Because there's a vaccine to prevent it.

[Natasha Korecki @natashakorecki]

NYT: FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood spatter and bullet holes in Renee Good's SUV received orders to stop, including from Kash Patel.

The fear? "a civil rights investigation would contradict Trump’s claim that Good “violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer” who fired at her as she drove her vehicle."

When we override what voters have already decided, we damage the relationship between people and their government.
Democracy depends on a basic promise: if you show up, if you participate, if you cast a vote, your voice will matter. Today, we broke that promise.

Elon didn’t buy Twitter to make money, Jeff Bezos didn’t buy the Post to make money, and Bari Weiss wasn’t installed to make money.

Think of these media platforms as Super PACs for billionaires instead.

Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts tells Drop Site News he is standing behind the legality of Tyson’s decision to close its Lexington beef-processing plant, despite the Packers and Stockyards Act barring such plant closures aimed at price manipulation.

The plant employed 3,200 Nebraskans in a town of 10,000 people before it shuttered on January 20. “They are not violating the Stockers Packyards [Act],” Ricketts told Drop Site’s Julian Andreone, mangling the name of the law that could protect the town from total devastation.

Ricketts had previously told reporters he was “taking a look at” whether Tyson violated the law, as his independent opponent Dan Osborn has alleged. Watch:

It’s always "The Bible must influence our laws!" until it comes to all those verses about welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving all our neighbors.

Gov. Jim Pillen has proposed draining a $15 million state arts and humanities fund to help close a $471 million budget shortfall.

🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol are now pistol-whipping 16-year-olds and smashing their heads into the curb.

In the video, an agent illegally tries to detain an unaccompanied minor, in Long Beach, California.

The child has his hands in the air.

An agent runs up and hits him in the head with a pistol. Then two agents tackle him and force his head down against the curb.

After the child is already on the ground, pinned by two armed adults, another agent brings out a K9, for what reason exactly?

Then one agent puts his knee on the child’s neck while another handcuffs him, even though he’s not resisting at all.

Unaccompanied minors are supposed to be handled through child-welfare procedures, not slammed into concrete by armed agents.

Using a gun as a weapon is deadly force. You don’t get to use deadly force on a child who is standing still with his hands up. And putting a knee on someone’s neck while they’re restrained is a textbook violation of use-of-force rules and basic constitutional rights.

ICE/Border Patrol agents are brutalizing people for sport, they are executing people because they can, trafficking children, and if they aren’t stopped no one will be safe.

Minnesota National Guard was asked why they’re handing out coffee, donuts, and hot chocolate to protesters.

Answer: “It’s a demonstration of safety and security. We’re here to help.”

That’s how you de-escalate.
Not masks. Not threats. Not bullets.
