✨Free article. Please read. "With little public scrutiny, the Trump administration is handing out hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts to some of the country’s most profitable companies and wealthiest investors." 🚨 Day 50 of the House Republican vacation. 🥴 #NE02 #NE01 #NESen

Free article that helps explain what you need to know about open enrollment that begins today. Also, feel free to reach out to your federal elected officials and demand that we have options for affordable and accessible healthcare. #NE01 #NE02 #NESen www.wsj.com/personal-fin...

Open enrollment starts today! Prices are skyrocketing and many will confront sticker shock when they log in. Small business owners, farmers and those that cannot afford employer health plans all use the marketplace to access insurance. From today's @OWHnews 👇

The administration could choose to use contingency funds to fund SNAP through November but they have chosen cruelty. Taking food from kids, seniors and veterans instead of doing their job. Shameful. #NE02 #NE01 #NESen #FeedTheKids nebraskaexaminer.com/briefs/nebra...

Thank you @angielauritsen.bsky.social for speaking truth to power because Bacon and Flood never will. As a Nebraskan, an American and a human being, I appreciate it!

"Now, more than 150,000 Nebraskans on SNAP will have an even harder time paying for their groceries as Republicans in Congress have decided cutting off access to food is more important than lowering health care costs." #NE02 #NE01 #NESen

❌ Day 39 of the House Republican vacation. 🌴🍹 They could be in DC doing their job and negotiating on a solution, but instead 42 Million humans will have less food available, where 40% of them are kiddos. #NE02 #NE01 #NESen #FeedTheKids #DoBetter nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/10/27/r...

❌ Day 48 of the House Republican vacation 🌴🍹 Quick: The Rep Tax Law that passed this summer extended the 2017 tax law that was set to expire 12/31/25. They made tax breaks to billionaires permanent and tax breaks to a small group of peeps expire in 2 years. Fix healthcare.

"Matt Wyatt, who voted for President Trump and farms 1,500 acres of corn and soybeans in Hudson, Iowa, said he would rather have markets for his products than a bailout from Washington." #GOPTariffs #Nebraska Where are House Republicans? #DoBetter www.nytimes.com/2025/10/26/u...

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.” “SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.” ~Center for Budget and Policy

A recent uptick in prices has coincided with a sharp slowdown of hiring. abcnews.go.com/Business/inf... via ABC News App

✨ Are Republicans ready to talk about insurance increases yet??? Or will they continue their 34 day vacation? Our family has zero preexisting conditions and our plan for a family of 4 is not affordable. 2025 - $1,996.25 2026 - $2,709.85 $713.60 a month increase.

🚨 Nebraska healthcare marketplace numbers from Medica just dropped... It's not great. 2025 - $1,744.98 2026 - $2,433.27 An increase per month of $688.29. This is for an older couple not yet retired, how are they supposed to afford this?? #ReverseTheCuts #NE02 #NE01 #NESen

In order to afford the additional tax breaks for super rich people, we are taking away food access. The article posted below is a great explainer on the chaos created by the Big Ugly Bill supported by all of the Nebraska federal delegation. #NE02 #NE01 #NESen nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/10/21/r...

"But the weakness in the auto market is one of the clearest indications that low- and middle-income families — the economy’s foundation — could be starting to buckle." #GOPTariffs #Trumpflation #NE02 #NESen www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/b...

Today veterans, seniors, kiddos and refugees lose food access in Nebraska. Our federal delegation voted for this so they could afford to give larger tax breaks to the ultra wealthy. #ReverseTheCuts #NE02 #NE01 #NESen ketv.com/article/nebr...

For anyone praising Bacon for his, at times, sane sound bites, stop listening to his words and start watching his actions! Every NE member of Congress proves with their actions that they aren't protecting their constituents, rather they are just bending the knee.

Congressman Bacon and Flood voted for a law that cuts food access to veterans, seniors and kids aging out of foster care. $30 million is lost to our communities and it adds a cost of $17 million in administrative costs. #NE02 #NE01 #ReverseTheCuts #NEleg nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/10/20/a...

Day 30 of the House Republican vacation. #NE02 #NE01 #DoBetter #GetBackToWork

"Consumers are facing greater costs for their 2026 A.C.A. health coverage as Congress continues to debate whether to extend subsidies that help people afford their premiums." Today is Day 29 of the Republican House member vacation. So there's that. #NE02 #NE01 #NESen www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/h...

"A new analysis from Goldman Sachs economists indicated that just over half of the tariff costs, or 55%, will be shouldered by American consumers this year. U.S. businesses will shoulder 22% of the costs while foreign exporters are expected to take on 18%." #GOPTariffs qz.com/goldman-tari...

This part! 👇

Trump cancelled 94 million pounds of food from being delivered to local food banks. This includes 21 cancelled food deliveries to the @Food4Heartland. Taking food access away from anyone facing hunger is just cruel. #DoBetter #GOPTariffs #NE02 #NESen projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

Most peeps are stacking debt and are not able to keep up with monthly payments and you can't leave a job that you don't like because no one else hiring. Instead of "day one" it's maybe next year or even the year after that when the economy will get better. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"Ending the subsidies would result in higher premiums for more than 20 million people. Of the 75 congressional districts where at least 10% of the population is enrolled in the Affordable Care Act, 62 are in red-leaning Florida, Georgia and Texas..." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Just gonna leave this here. Reverse the healthcare cuts. #TrumpShutdown #NE02 #NESen

Republicans control the White House, Senate and House. They could provide affordable healthcare anytime. They could reverse the cuts and prevent my family's healthcare going up +$700 a month next year. They control this. #DoBetter #GOPTariffs #TrumpShutdown

Priorities.

This is Trump’s shutdown. They are Trump’s tariffs. It is Trump’s economy. It will be Trump’s recession.

ICYMI: My congressman is out here being completely ok with kicking millions of low and middle income peeps off of their healthcare insurance. It's not affordable for many now and he wants to make it worse. #TrumpShutdown #RepublicanShutdown #NE02 #NESen #Nebraska

Just gonna leave this here with a quick question - How will the state of Nebraska pay for the reporting requirements of the Republican Tax Law? nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/09/28/r...

Not quite done with my daily morning reading, but here are some highlights so far... #TrumpShutdown #GOPTariffs #ProtectHealthcare

Dems are in DC fighting to save health care for 20 Million Americans as GOP sits at home on recess, waiting for a shutdown. If Republicans get their way, premiums will skyrocket 75% + millions lose coverage. Families can’t afford their vacation politics. #NE02 #NESen #Healthcare

Brilliant! Cut funds for food and then stop tracking hunger. No more hunger. Fixed it!! 🧐🫤🙄 www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

There's a healthcare crisis approaching and it seems our federal delegation here in Nebraska is blind to it. Mid-October we will learn how much our monthly premiums will increase and open enrollment begins Nov. 1st. Our family of 4 currently pays $2k A MONTH. @nytimes.com

Um. Not sure who needs to hear this, but Congressman Bacon has voted to support tariffs 3 times this year. 3x. #NE02 #GOPTariffs

Nebraska’s delegation had a choice today: lower costs for working families or protect the wealthy. They chose the rich, and threatened a shutdown if they didn’t get their way. #TheRichWinAgain #NESen #NE02

I read 1984. And Fahrenheit 451. And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale. And The Giver. And The Road. And The Lottery. And The Parable of the Sower. And The Hunger Games. I know what I’m seeing.

"Families can’t afford to keep paying more for food, housing, and health care because politicians like Don Bacon in Washington are too afraid to stand up to this administration. Nebraskans need leaders who will fight to lower costs and protect our communities.." #NE02 #GOPTariffs

I mean... It's Bacon. #NE02 #GOPTariffs #TariffsAreTaxes

Vote happened September 10, 2025 - @OWHnews #NESen

When you live in a gerrymandered state, you can’t just vote better. That’s the point of gerrymandering. To take away your vote and voice. To silence you.

Wait - But I thought Ricketts and the rest of our federal delegation was touting this was the best part of the GOP Tax Law?? Are you saying that it isn't as good as they have been claiming?? 🧐 #NE02 #NESen ketv.com/article/over...

We told you cutting hospital payments was going to devastate clinics and hospitals - they are changing how they are reimbursing for services - and guess what? Now they’re closing. Who could’ve predicted? Oh, right. Everyone. #NotSurprised #GOPVotedForThis #NE02 #NESen

Just going to share this for no reason at all... www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/u...

Rep. Don Bacon & Nebraska’s GOP sold us out - tariffs tanked our economy, SNAP & Medicaid were cut, and billionaires got tax breaks. Working families are stuck with higher costs and fewer jobs because of their votes. #NE02 #NESen #GOPTariffs #Trumpflation

"Many people are already struggling to afford medical care — a recent poll found that a third of Americans, about 91 million adults, said that if they were to need medical care, they would not be able to pay for it."
