As I have been talking with District 4 neighbors this week, many have been sharing their concerns about the impact of the government shutdown on the economy and federal government services, including the pause of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Plan) funding. #neleg

After Nebraskans and the people of District 4 overwhelmingly approved medical cannabis, Brad von Gillern voted against providing patients access to care. Now, the commission in charge of providing access won’t even show up to their public hearings. #neleg

Another trip around the sun.. .and I am grateful for amazing family, friends, and neighbors! #cindyfornebraska #grateful #neleg

Call all of your elected officials and tell them we don’t want to spend taxpayer money on prison camps.. .Not anywhere and not in Nebraska!

You're invited! I am excited to join with family, friends, and neighbors as we kick-off this campaign for Nebraska Legislature District 4.. .Please join us: Saturday, August 9 9:30-11:30am Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano 13655 California Street #cindyfornebraska #nonpartisan #neleg

Pediatricians do not profit off vaccines. In fact, most pediatricians either break even or even lose money when they offer vaccines. Misleading parents about doctors' motivations puts children's health at risk and sows distrust in lifesaving vaccinations. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/w...

Call Senator Fisher and Senator Ricketts to oppose cuts to Nebraska Public Media! ☎️ Senator Deb Fischer 202-224-6551 ☎️ Senator Pete Ricketts 202-224-4224

Disappointed that our state and Attorney General is not listed as fighting to bring OUR tax dollars back to Nebraska's schools. #neleg ☎️ AG Hilgers 402-471-2683 From @edweek.org

This is monstrous.

🇺🇸 This Independence Day, let’s remind ourselves: The roots of modern American civilization began with the seeds of protests & speaking out against a tyrannical regime. The Boston Tea Party? a protest. The Declaration of Independence? A list of grievances. 🧵(1/4)

A video about the Declaration of Independence. I'm proud of this one.

The contrast of the celebration of fireworks while we worry for our family, neighbors, and country weighs on so many of us tonight. Take time to acknowledge your grief, clear your head, charge your spirt.. .and then we come together and work for a better tomorrow.

Nebraska's members of Congress are voting to gut Mesicaid funding which will impact everyone's access to healthcare when our community's clinics, hospitals, & nursing homes close.. .not to mention the impact to local medical professionals' employment. Have you called, yet? #neleg

It is mechanically not possible to bankrupt Medicaid. Unlike Medicare & Social Security, there’s no pot of money for the program where spending stops if it runs out. Cutting ppl off Medicaid doesn’t leave more for others. Republicans are cutting Medicaid because they want it to cover fewer people.

I continue to be struck by this language of “in accordance with the president’s priorities,” which treats the executive branch as an extension of the person of the president, and not a mechanism for instituting the will of Congress

Dear Representative Bacon, I woke up to a beautiful sunrise this morning and, for a moment, I forgot my dread and fear for our country. /1

The Senate voted to advance the budget reconciliation bill today, which is likely to cut health insurance coverage for more than 150,000 Nebraskans, close at least 6 rural hospitals, and increase healthcare costs and premiums for all of us. 1/2

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked my amendment to ensure Veterans, foster kids and the homeless aren’t denied SNAP benefits. There is no one Republicans won’t betray to ram through tax cuts for their billionaire buddies.

The Administration is withholding education $ due to the states as of July 1. What are Nebraska's elected officials doing to ensure our federal tax dollars are correctly deposited to fund critical school services? #neleg Ask: Governor Pillen Representative Bacon Senator Fischer Senator Ricketts

Nebraskans must understand the ways the federal bill will decimate our local communities and struggling state budget! Call your Members of Congress to vote NO on the reconciliation bill: #neleg ☎️ Rep. Don Bacon 202-225-4155 ☎️ Senator Deb Fischer 202-224-6551 ☎️ Senator Pete Ricketts 202-224-4224

Who is still up tonight? Plz call Senators Fischer & Ricketts to vote NO on this harmful legislation. Senator Scott's amendment is in addition to already devastating cuts in the reconciliation bill.. .Plz remember Nebraskans voted at the ballot box in 2018 to expand Medicaid in our state. #neleg

"It shocks the conscience that Senate Republican leaders saw the impacts of the House bill — 16 million more people uninsured and millions losing help buying groceries, including families with children — and chose to double down." - @sharonparrott.bsky.social www.cbpp.org/press/statem...

I miss having a human president.

In May, personal income dropped by 0.4%, the first month-over-month decline in almost 4 years.

I am thankful for my family and friends for their support as I put my hat in the ring for Nebraska Legislature District 4 (west Omaha). With their support and yours, I am ready to win this seat and move our state forward! Please follow @cindyfornebraska.bsky.social for more campaign updates #neleg

The comprehensive Omaha Master Plan (adopted in 1997) is being updated, and conversations are being held in each city council district for members of the community to discuss what is important to their neighborhood and city as a whole. /1

Me, too.

I delivered letters to my three members of Congress this afternoon. Hopefully, enough constituents contacting Senator Fischer, Senator Ricketts, and Representative Bacon will give them the courage to stand up for us and the Constitution.

Let’s make smart choices about protesting.

Always proud to support local businesses like Baker's Lakeside Plaza and the Foodbank for the Heartland last week as they work to help neighbors struggling with food insecurity. Please take a look at this list of most-needed food items and consider donating to their next drive! #lovethyneighbor

I recently went to a townhall hosted by Senator Armendariz (LD18), Senator Sorrentino (LD39), and Senator von Gillern (LD4). More than fifty people attended and it was good to see Bennington, Elkhorn, and west Omaha neighbors engaged with their elected representatives! /1 #neleg

Senators that confirmed Secretary Kennedy made a grave error w/every family's health across our country. If this policy stands, Americans will be unable to protect their loved ones w/choice to vaccinate against COVID19 as recommended by trusted medical experts. I hope science & reason will prevail.

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

Nebraskans voted overwhelmingly (71%) in November of 2024 for access to medical marijuana and Legislators will be debating a bill on Tuesday to set parameters for regulators. /1 #neleg

Our country's debt will now become more expensive, right as Republicans in Congress want to add to the deficit.. .make it make sense?! ☎️ Rep. Don Bacon 202-225-4155

Some Nebraska Legislators say the same sort of things while they try to undo the will of voters on the minimum wage and earned sick leave ballot measures we passed. Tell them NO! nebraskalegislature.gov/senators/sen...

HAPPENING NOW: Faith ministers of all denominations are currently blocking the entrance to the Delaney Hall ICE detention center where Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested (Video: @scootercaster.com)

How will extreme cuts to Medicaid coverage impact Nebraskans' mental health crisis?! ☎️ Rep. Don Bacon 202-225-4155 Posted on Twitter and Facebook:

"Nothing is being shipped over": Zero cargo vessels left China with goods for the two major West Coast ports in 12 hours, as of yesterday morning, a shutdown of trade not seen since the pandemic. www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/b...

Thank you to the Head Start teams across Nebraska providing for children & families! I was proud to attend the rally at the Capitol the other day & appreciate the bipartisan group of Nebraska Legislators that spoke about the importance of continued funding for Head Start. #ProtectHeadStart #neleg

House Judiciary R’s just voted to permit ICE to deport American citizens. Read that again. DEPORT AMERICAN CITIZENS. They are so beholden to Donald Trump that they are happy to deport their own constituents. Shameful and despicable.

Horrified.. .My mother's heart breaks for these families. Please join me and call on Nebraska's members of Congress to stop these shameful deportations. ☎️ Rep. Don Bacon 202-225-4155 ☎️ Senator Deb Fischer 202-224-6551 ☎️ Senator Pete Ricketts 202-224-4224

The Justice Dept. has authorized law enforcement officers to GO INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES WITHOUT SEARCH WARRANTS if they suspect that someone is an "alien enemy" I talked to @usatoday.com about Attorney General Bondi's "Guidance for Implementing the Alien Enemies Act," links below

Advocates say the way the White House aired an accusation of domestic violence in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case has sent his wife and her children into hiding, and could discourage victims from seeking help.

☎️ Right NOW on the floor of the Nebraska Legislature, Senator Andersen is trying to hijack Senator Quick’s LB192 regarding SNAP eligibility with an unfriendly Amendment. Please call your Senator immediately and tell them to vote NO on AM1131 and vote YES on LB192. #neleg

Nebraska's US Senators voted to confirm this obviously unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense less than 90 days ago and we can clearly see their decision was dangerous. Senator Fischer and Senator Ricketts must use their authority to correct this grave error and now call for his removal.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!
