This is a win for veterans everywhere. The fact that this was proposed in the first place was an insult to every person who has ever put on the uniform. We will continue to hold this administration accountable to make sure our promises to those who served are kept, period.

As I have been talking with District 4 neighbors this week, many have been sharing their concerns about the impact of the government shutdown on the economy and federal government services, including the pause of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Plan) funding. #neleg

After Nebraskans and the people of District 4 overwhelmingly approved medical cannabis, Brad von Gillern voted against providing patients access to care. Now, the commission in charge of providing access won’t even show up to their public hearings. #neleg

Pediatricians do not profit off vaccines. In fact, most pediatricians either break even or even lose money when they offer vaccines. Misleading parents about doctors' motivations puts children's health at risk and sows distrust in lifesaving vaccinations. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/w...

It is mechanically not possible to bankrupt Medicaid. Unlike Medicare & Social Security, there’s no pot of money for the program where spending stops if it runs out. Cutting ppl off Medicaid doesn’t leave more for others. Republicans are cutting Medicaid because they want it to cover fewer people.
