Shawn Fain gets it. The Senate is full of millionaires working for billionaires. We need mechanics, nurses, and workers who know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck. Proud to have @uaw.org backing this campaign.

Send Ghislaine Maxwell back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

Last week, Pete Ricketts showed us how deep he is in Tyson's pocket.

There is a small, powerful group of ELITES who think they can do anything they want on this earth. They think they are deserving. They think they are exceptional.

I’m honored to receive the endorsement of the United Auto Workers. They helped build this country and ushered in our nation’s greatest eras of prosperity for working people. With their help, we can return to that prosperity and level the playing field for workers once again.

This is gross. Not only are things bad enough for working class Americans that they're struggling to pay rent, they also have corporations capitalizing on their bad situation with a predatory service like this

Are you seeing the SCAM yet? Yesterday, an executive order was signed to QUADRUPLE the amount of beef imported into the U.S. from Argentina.

Thank you to everyone who came out to our signature drive in Norfolk last weekend – I had lots of great conversations and can't wait to be back! My team is holding more signatures drives in Omaha and Kearney this weekend. RSVP: osbornforsenate.com/petition

Last weekend I went to the Nebraska Sustainable Agriculture Society's annual conference. I learned a lot about how our food systems work and what we can do to improve them for everyone’s benefit.

Campaign finance reform is the most important issue of our time. It is connected to every issue.

We need to arrest and prosecute anyone from the Epstein files who hurt kids. I don't care if they're Democrats or Republicans or Presbyterians or whatever. Politics be damned. Punish anyone who hurt kids.

Pete Ricketts has NEVER meaningfully challenged the stranglehold Tyson and the rest of the the Big 4 Meatpackers have in Nebraska. Why? Because they pay him to do their bidding.

When you're a billionaire like Pete Ricketts, you don't know the value of a dollar. That's why he votes to waste billions on contracts for his friends while cutting funding for rural hospitals and programs working people depend on. I know what a dollar is worth, and I won't waste yours.

Credit card swipe fees are a scam that ripoff small businesses and consumers. I would support legislation that introduces actual COMPETITION into the market so we can break the stranglehold Visa and Mastercard have over all of us.

🚨If you want to see what EMPTY talking points look like with NO action, watch this👇 Pete Ricketts, stop with the corporate buzz words and give the people of Lexington a straight answer Once, just once, can you fight for actual PEOPLE and not just your CEO donor buddies?

These candidates are launching the way I did: no party, no billionaire backers, no war chest. It's a long, hard road. And I remember how much that precious early support meant, both to the campaign and to me personally.

Was PROUD to go out to the picket line last night with Teamsters Local 554 in Omaha who are striking against Premiere Midwest Beer & Beverage for a fair contract.

Recorded a video yesterday about the 3rd anniversary of the East Palestine Train Derailment and how we STILL have no Railway Safety Act.

The next time you buy an oppressively expensive ticket for your favorite band, just know that the band probably isn’t making as much as they should from your ticket sale, and that Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino made $139 million in 2022. 🙃

The Live Nation Ticketmaster merger has been an absolute DISASTER for artists and fans. Live Nation now controls roughly 70-80% of major concert and live‑event ticket sales and owns a significant share of venues and concert promotions.

“Our farmers and ranchers can compete with the world, but they can’t compete with the world with a chaotic set of policy circumstances,”

Pete Ricketts says he's treating the Tyson closure "like a natural disaster." Here's what that would actually look like if he meant it: 🧵

Three companies control most of our fertilizer. Four companies control most of our meatpacking. That's not free enterprise. That's a rigged system squeezing family farmers and ranchers.

Politicians should be wearing NASCAR jackets with patches of their sponsors so we know how they're going to vote.

Record corporate profits. Record CEO bonuses. Stagnant wages for workers. Tell me again how "the economy is doing great?”

We're all getting screwed.

In 2019, Pete Ricketts held multiple press conferences about the Nebraska floods. Aerial tours. Daily updates. Honored "flood heroes." Now Lexington loses 3,200 jobs and he shows up once, offers zero solutions, and disappears. His staff won't even say what was discussed.

I am unapologetically pro-worker. The billionaires are going to be fine.

Grocery prices are up. Rent is up. Electricity bills are up. Corporate profits? Those are up too. Funny how that works. 🙃

When Tyson closed their Norfolk plant in 2006, they stripped it BARE so it couldn’t be sold to a competitor. We need to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen in Lexington. Enforce the Packers and Stockyards Act.

Heads up Nebraska: Governor Jim Pillen is trying to SNEAK in $7 million for school vouchers in the newest budget. Nearly 60% of us voted against them in 2024. But he wants to override your votes and funnel taxpayer money to families making up to $200k a year for private school tuition.

In 2024, Nebraska voters REJECTED school vouchers by nearly 60%. Yet Ricketts voted for the bill that created the first ever federal voucher scheme. Jim Pillen is now trying to SNEAK IN $7 million for school vouchers in the newest budget.

On Election Day in 2024, Nebraska voters sent a message. Nearly 60% of voters rejected school vouchers. Voters in 82 of our 93 counties – red counties and blue counties alike – agreed that we SHOULDN’T divert taxpayer money to private schools with zero accountability.

(1/2) I need to be very clear that I support the mission of law enforcement to protect and serve the communities where we live. I am angry about what we saw happen in Minneapolis yesterday.

As a lifelong Independent, I don’t buy into the 2 party system The story of our politics isn’t left vs. right anymore, this is big vs. little I am running for U.S. Senate because working-class Nebraskans need a seat at the table in Washington and billionaire Pete Ricketts is standing in their way.

Any political candidate who points out that it’s -9° today in their state and that that’s also their opponents‘ favorability rating deserves a donation

🚨NEW POLL!🚨 We are TIED with Republican billionaire Pete Ricketts in the Nebraska Senate race!!! Ricketts has already spent MILLIONS. We've spent next to nothing. The people of Nebraska are sick and tired of Ricketts. They’re ready for working class representation in the U.S. Senate.

If you are a Tyson worker from Lexington, the attorneys at Godinez Richters Law & Consulting put together a very helpful "Know Your Rights" document with lots of important information. Link. 👇 www.godinezrichters.com/lexingtonkyr

Tyson agreed to a $82.5M settlement for illegally inflating beef prices two weeks ago. In October, Tyson settled an $85 million lawsuit for price fixing in pork.  Tyson violates antitrust laws all the time and the Lexington plant closure is no exception.

About a month ago, Pete Ricketts said his team was looking into whether Tyson’s decision to close the Lexington plant is a violation of the Packers and Stockyards Act. So what did you find out, Pete?

Today, the Tyson plant in Lexington officially closes. This story is all-too-common in America. It's a story of monopoly power gutting small towns.

To the Tyson workers in Lexington, You showed up. You did your job. You kept your end of the deal. Tyson didn't. I know that feeling. I worked for Kellogg's for 20 years. I gave them everything. And when I stood up for myself and my coworkers, they were ready to replace me without blinking.

Here I am fixing the brakes on my Campaign Manager’s RAM hoping to get your attention on an issue I care a lot about as a mechanic – Right To Repair. Right to Repair is simple: if you own something, you should be able to fix it or take it to a technician you trust.

If you want to see the ROT at the core of the Wall Street profiteering war machine, let me introduce you to two people, Charles Myers and Paul Singer. 🧵 Charles Myers is chairman of Signum Global Advisors.

Our country should NOT be threatening to "take" Greenland. We have enough problems at home to fix. Our armed forces should be focused on our security, not used as pawns in a geopolitical stunt that wastes our money and upsets our allies.
