Still on Firefighter cancer bill. Pointing out 15% of the session is over, Sen Moser sounds exhausted by being here. He says {people} will be getting cancer, so why should we cover it, just go through insurance. Damages will come. Thumb on scales of justice. Mentions “presumptive precedence.” #neleg

LB400 Sen Wordekemper’s bill to support for Firefighters who get cancer has opposition from banker-man, Sen Jacobson. Small town Nebraska wondering “why does no one want to move or stay here.” Sen J “They are paid enough. They chose this job.” #neleg

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Hey Sen Hansen, if there are inappropriate jokes made in the absence of a female, they are still inappropriate.

Looks like this admin has moved on to gutting protections provided by the EOCA. Public comment is open until 12/15. We need to comment and show them we are watching. www.regulations.gov/document/CFP... Tagging #neleg to get more eyes on this post.

Sen Dan McKeon of #neleg Thomas said the State Patrol issued McKeon a citation for public indecency — a Class II misdemeanor — Thursday afternoon. McKeon is expected in Lancaster County Court Dec. 10, authorities said. nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/10/31/n...

Favorite sign today read “No Faux Kings Way” at 72nd & Dodge. #nokings #omaha

🇺🇸 National Guard soldier speaks out: “I swore an oath to defend our constitution… seeking refuge is not an act of violence. Locking people up for it is.”

Well isn’t this just a wonderful day! The temperature is in the ideal low 70’s AND I find out Erin is running for LD08! Yes, I’m 3 weeks behind on this news, but this is wonderful news for #neleg LD08.

As much as I despise the cowardly Don Bacon, this would have been a good time to shine the light on the equally inept Adrian Smith. The hospital is located in NE03, a seat Smith has been clogging since 2007. www.msn.com/en-us/health...

I am no parliamentarian but if you can just hold the vote open indefinitely after the votes are in until you get the outcome you want that feels uhhh not democratic

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

How far into the nanny state that #neleg is taking us until this state flips?

In case you didn't catch these hearings, I caught quite a bit. Lorelle Mueting mentioned GovP asked her to apply. When pressed by Sen J Cavanaugh, began acting like she didn't understand. All others asked softball questions. Her work friends were sad so many were against her appointment. #neleg

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich. Thread on the next steps of the process.

Sen Ballard’s MO256 on failed LB258 (read, he left without approval for a meeting & marked PNV). After this reconsider, there is another from Sen Sorrentino (ENV), MO279. (I’m not really up for listening to the Haves reason away why everyone shouldn’t be paid fairly for their work AGAIN.) #neleg

So far in #neleg Why is the Gov vetoing bills written by the 2 Black men in here? M Cavanaugh Stop making the prison system worse; leave Ombudsman alone. McKinney Why is the Speaker acting like a coward? Why is this body giving their power away because of the loser AG’s opinion. Conrad

Sen Hansen is right. We need a ballot measure that states “We support marijuana use in all forms.” Oh, today is LB677 or medical MJ day in #neleg

Today there has been a lot of “5the biggest issue people talked to me about when knocking doors was lowering property taxes.” Pretty odd statement seeing as the majority had been pushing their hate bills again & going against ballot measures. If taxes was the push, why all the distractions? #neleg

Property taxes & Sen Storer has now realized that property taxes on AG land is a business input. #neleg (My WiFi or the signal is struggling to keep up today.)

Working on overriding the governor’s veto. Sen Hughes calls out the comments laid by those supporting the governor’s veto. She says if there is fraud with SNAP we are worried about, why aren’t we going after that fraud? #neleg

Sen Jacobson: I need definitions. I need ideas of how we can cut the budget for all those not liking the current budget. Stop calling landloards greedy. Also Sen Mike J: Don’t mention the Perkins Canal, that is an investment. Educate yourself on our poor landlords. #neleg (North O though)

Budget talks again this morning in #neleg. Pillen vetoed SNAP benefits for those with drug convictions (b/c of course). Why does AG need increase? 🧐 AG replies with links to his own testimony & links to Treasurer’s site. 🤬 Why does he need more money on the tax payer’s dime just to keep losing? 😮‍💨

LB89 is up and Sen Kathleen Kauth with her keep sweet tone goes on to tell everyone they need to be kind to each other and her words. Keep sweet while she attacks vulnerable youth. Got it. #neleg Riepe’s guided AM1138 is up & has removed her ability to go on about the bathroom boogey-monster.

LB608 Bostat & AM1129 Up at the desk challenging germaneness. AM1129 is covering firefighter’s coverage of cancer developing during or after employment. Chair, Lt Gov, says not germane. Wordekemper challenging. #neleg

Sen J Cavanaugh on AM1333 which lines up with what is on the Omaha city ballot regarding city council vacancies & holding a special election to replace that seat if still >2 years left in the term. 🟢43 🔴0 🟡6 (yay!) #neleg

Oh, lookie here, Sens Andersen & von Gillern & now Sanders are speaking pretty harshly against Sen Spivey & her FA189. Sen Sorrentino is the only one who is against & admits he saw this bill 60 or so days ago. #neleg

The shift of spending is going to cause cuts in programs that benefit the whole & our vulnerable in order to give construction funding & pay our (top of peer states) judges more. Sen J Cavanaugh calls out these accounting tricks for what they are & not the needed cuts most keep calling them. #neleg

Love a good wide angle, as shown this evening in the #NELeg as Sen Dungan asks Sen J Cavanaugh “What is water good for?” “Water is good for fighting.” They recall former Sen Erdman repeating this line.

Why is that when worried about water capture the focus is Colorado? Doesn’t this water flow from Colorado to Nebraska to Kansas? Why not Kansas? Or is this just a Sen Colin (Strommen) argument about water flowing backwards if we don’t capture it? #neleg

Sen Spivey’s first time on the mic. She mentions her Grandmother, who has been coming to work with her this week. 🥰 Says Grandma has lots of questions about what is happening during the day. 🥹 #neleg

Sen Hughes just read a letter from a grocer in her district. Claims to be listening. Letter both states 1. they have not hired a high school student in a long time because there is no training wage for younger workers AND 2. they will have to hire less high school workers going forward. #neleg

Sen Raybould’s ageist LB258 is up. #neleg

This will be 3 for 3 on going against the will of Nebraska voters. This is nearly the entire 2nd ballot they are pissing all over with these bills. #neleg (Forgot alt text)

Sen Sorrentino pushing LouAnn’s old opportunity scholarship battle in the form of allowing 529 neat plans to be used for K-12 private education tuition. This is a reduction in tax at the end of year. AM1203 He says he is a CPA, but he went off about non-attorneys speaking on legal bills. 🧐 #neleg

Another passion project, which some will support purely for the effort given (please refer to LB77 in the 108th regular session) This time it is Sen Clements & the inheritance tax as in LB468 & AM874. #neleg

Been listening today to LB316 by Kathleen Kauth. Summing this up is nanny state of big bad Delta 8 (9 & 10 too). All in the name of keeping adults from making choices for ourselves & our families … again. Big push about health, while ignoring cuts to DHHS. Regulations ❌ Ban ✅ #neleg

LB365 up this morning. I’m not familiar, but Sen Sorentino is asking about slap fighting, which he also knows nothing about. Now Sen Dungan asking Sen Hansen about MMA fighting. New emerging issue that Sen Dungan unsurprisingly supports (as per yesterday’s convo he loves the arts). #neleg

Sen Hansen on LB676, the midwife bill. His claim is this is the most emails he has ever received. (I’m highly doubtful of this proclamation, especially with all the personal life overreaching and anti ballot measure bills lately.) #neleg

Leaving this here for literally no reason whatsoever. #neleg nebraskalegislature.gov/senators/lan...

Sen McKinney addressing Sen Bob (probably Robert) Andersen after Bob asked about pulling funds allocated and under contract with North Omaha businesses instead of the new prison. #neleg (2 of 2)

Protect boys bill, I mean online gambling bill LR20CA, is up today and Sen VonGillern is filibustering it. Unsure if this is a halfsie or full #neleg *Have not heard anything about how to get around usage of VPNs. Nor has this been brought into the discussion yet today, but the day is still young.

Those who voted green on AM1131 wanted to tank LB192 by adding a 6 or 7 figure fiscal note. Thankfully there was enough Nays & No Votes for it to fail. #neleg

In case you were wondering, yes, Kathleen Kauth is a nasty person. #neleg #LetTheRecordReflect She asked Sen Hunt about her common sense remarks yesterday. Sen Hunt responded with a simple “common sense isn’t common.” Kathleen decided to reply snidely“And some have lost theirs.”

Starting LB89 from Kathleen Kauth. Kauth is claiming this isn’t a political issue (Then why is she continually bringing it into our politically based government.) Bounces around between women’s sports and prison populations, with focus on sex offenders. 🤨 #neleg
