Shana Tova to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah! May the New Year bring health and hope to all.

On this day in 2011, after 17 long years, the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy was repealed. More than 13,000 service members were discharged under that law, people willing to put their lives on the line for a country that at the time would not have them serve openly.

Happy Birthday to the United States Air Force! 🇺🇸 The United States Air Force's birthday is on September 18. This date marks the anniversary of President Harry Truman signing the National Security Act in 1947, which established the Air Force as an independent branch of the military.

Budget chaos in DC = higher costs at home. A #ContinuingResolution (CR) until November isn’t fiscal responsibility — it’s Washington kicking the can down the road, creating more chaos and uncertainty. breakingdefense.com/2025/09/repu...

The Pentagon’s reversal reinstated the Strategic Advisory Group for United States Strategic Command previously recommended for termination. STRATCOM headquartered at Offutt AFB, this ensures #Nebraska ‘s local stakeholders are connected to long-term planning and national defense priorities.

A few reminders I keep on my desk! Words to live by.

There is no place for violence in America—against anyone. I have seen firsthand how instability fuels hatred and violence, the trauma it leaves on communities, and the weight it places on first responders who are always there.

Families in Nebraska and across the country are feeling the strain of a slowing economy, and new solutions are needed to create stability and opportunity. www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/e...

I know higher #utilities is not what #Nebraska voted for. Campaign promises must be kept! A recent Consumer Price Index report found electricity prices were rising at double the rate of inflation, having increased 5.5 percent over the past year. thehill.com/policy/energ...

The Arctic is changing — melting ice, thawing permafrost, and new sea routes are reshaping global power. America’s defense is second to none, but without sustained investment in science and research, we risk losing the domain awareness that keeps us secure. 👇🏻

On this Labor Day, we honor the people whose hard work powers Nebraska and America. From farms and classrooms to hospitals, job sites, and federal service, the value of work is the backbone of a strong society. When working families thrive, our nation thrives.
