CNN is reporting that the national GOP has abandoned Nebraska CD02. House Republicans are entering triage mode and are now discussing pulling money from from the open seat in Nebraska, per 3 sources.

So we had to shake down ByteDance for ... reasons ... meanwhile they shutdown their stupid AI companions with just the mere whiff of regulation while the companies we are stuck with because it's "pro-freedom" are actively encouraging AI psychosis - ok

The Nebraska Farm Bureau is still "neutral" on the Governor's race and isn't endorsing Pillen. This is a big change from their endorsement of Pillen just four years ago. The Farm Bureau is known for nearly exclusively endorsing Republicans in agricultural states across the country.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

It’s both unbelievable and utterly predictable that the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense and the director of the CIA are all furiously distancing themselves from the Iran deal, which was negotiated by Trump’s golf pal and son-in-law
Friction point: Ratcliffe isn't the only skeptic in Trump's top team. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have both expressed concerns and raised questions about the deal in internal discussions, while Vice President Vance and U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner advocated for it, according to two of the sources.

If these Iran-deal details are correct , they’ll make the JCPOA look like Hirohito’s surrender in 1945 Via the WSJ’s chief foreign-affairs correspondent
Iran’s Mehr news agency publishes the purported text of the draft agreement with Trump. It will keep the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control, will promise Iran $300 billion in reconstruction money in addition to an immediate cash transfer of $24 billion, a suspension of sanctions and the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Middle East. Also, a commitment not to bother Iran again about its missiles and proxies, and restraining Israel in Lebanon.
The U.S. gets in exchange a pinky promise to respect the NPT.

Zipline Brewing was going to host a political event for Pete Ricketts and Ted Cruz on Friday. The staff made noise and promised to quit or skip, so the owners just fired everyone and closed shop. If you miss the wonderful beers of Zipline in the coming weeks and months, you have Ted Cruz to thank.
Screenshot of Ig story from Zipline staffer. Text reads "I am aware of what's happening at Zipline tomorrow and I do not support it in any way, shape, or form. Neither does anyone that works at Zipline.
When AKRS bought the brewery, the founders of Zipline essentially cashed out and bolted, leaving everyone left to clean up the mess. Kevin Clark is going to run this place into the ground spouting his facsist beliefs.
The brewers, packagers, taptenders, and managers are some of the most incredible people I've ever met and they deserve so much more than this."Screenshot of story from later in the day. Text reads "For anyone who's like "what is she talking about "
The brewery my husband worked at was bought a couple years back by a Nebraska Ag company so they could expand their brewing. Turns out they're were terrible people (shock!) and over the past 3 years, they've progressively dug the brewery into the ground.
Today, they walked in and truly RANDOMLY
fired
everyone and shut down the brewery.
The biggest brewery in Nebraska with some of the finest brewers in the state, if not region.
Around 20 people now without work. Out of the blue. Very cool."
