Fairly recently retired attorney, mother of two, grandmother of two (the cutest baby and toddler ever), living in THE BLUE DOT, trying to figure out my next act.

My husband and I just donated $90 to our D candidate for governor and $90 to the Independent candidate for senate. Thanks Trump!

I live in Nebraska. Thankfully in blue Omaha and NOT in GI (which is neither grand nor an Island). I know those people but I’ll never understand them. I’ve given up trying to talk to them and just try to avoid them. They are too stupid to know that they’re voting against their own interests.

I’m from Nebraska. I know these people. They wouldn’t care if it was Omaha. They hate it too. Now Memorial Stadium in Lincoln? That’s a different story.

Good. I’ll donate mine to the DNC.

Don’t get too excited. He’s retiring. And he votes with Trump the vast majority of the time.

I am a lawyer. You absolutely do NOT need to be a lawyer to answer this fundamental question.

This American with English, Irish and Scottish roots thinks Elon is spouting a bunch of racist crap. Shocking from someone that grew up in South Africa.

Kathy, my daughter and her family including a toddler and an infant live in the Twin Cities. She’s not protesting because she has small children but she’s doing what she can. She provided me with this website of local groups in the trenches. Can you share it? www.standwithminnesota.com

If that’s your test, most Americans support the removal of Trump. Hmm.

That’s great unless you have something like a brain aneurism or get diagnosed with cancer. What’s your plan for that?

DEMS, you’e better not cave. People need their health insurance! If you cave, all of the pain thus far will have been for nothing. The Republicans cannot be trusted to revisit the ACA in January and in the meantime, millions will be unable to afford their health insurance.

I'm afraid that the court will find that they don't have the requisite standing and dismiss the action. Hopefuily more suits will be filed.

I need to recover damages for having to see his face, hear his voice and contend with his Executive Orders and policies over the past 10 years.

I wouldn’t trade my years of public schooling for anything. I met kids from all walks of life and I’m better for it.

Maybe it will be Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen who owns a hog farming operation and is rumored to employ illegal immigrants.

Lincoln is blue. (Blue mayor and city council) The surrounding areas are red. The district includes enough of the surrounding areas that a R always wins. Omaha is more purple although they just elected a Democratic mayor!

Aren’t we on the same side? I too wish the state party had better leadership and more successes. I’ve done my share of volunteering to try to make that happen. What are you doing??

Monica Kruger @mgk8285.bsky.social · 05/08/2025
And exactly what are we supposed to focus our energy on? Rounding up hardworking people at work or civically minded people at their court hearings? No thanks. I’ll continue holding on to our blue dot and do what I can to save our democracy.

Bacon’s district did NOT vote for Trump. Under state law, Nebraska’s electoral college votes go to the winner of each congressional district. Kamala and NOT Trump got the one electoral college vote from Nebraska #2. The Blue Dot is alive and well!!

Trump didn’t win in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District (that includes Omaha.) Nebraska splits its electoral college votes by congressional districts so while Nebraska went for Trump, Omaha most certainly did NOT. The Blue Dot is alive and well!

What happened to ending the war on day 1? You mean he lied? And that he’s not capable of carrying out his promises??? I’m SHOCKED!!

Dem candidate is currently county treasurer and a former OPD police captain. He ran on safety and public works. Republican 3x incumbent ran on her record and then at the end ran anti-trans bathroom ads. She championed a street car project that is very unpopular.

I’ve lived in Omaha for 40 years and I say you don’t know what you’re talking about. The win for this black Democratic candidate (by 11 points!!!) is HUGE! And a sign of things to come.

The Dem candidate in Omaha won by 11 points. ELEVEN! She was a 3x incumbent and won her last race with 65% of the vote. She’s been a popular mayor but resorted to negative and anti-trans ads. Hopefully this is an indication that people are sick of MAGA. Proud to live in the blue dot today!

Well, we haven’t had a Democratic mayor in 12 years. Our congressman is a Republican and both senators are Republicans. Every statewide office is held by a Republican (despite the fact the vast majority of Nebraskans live in Omaha and Lincoln.) So yeah, this is a big deal.
