Ben Sasse is a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee which was briefed in January on coronavirus. Sasse did nothing to prepare or warn anyone about the pandemic. Sasse has stood by while Trump lied about the coronavirus. Now he distract from his failures by yelling "China"
Anti-life Gov. Pillen "..did not answer a question about how his acceptance of federal pandemic relief funds for his hog operation in Columbus or grants for a meat-cutting operation in Fremont differed from accepting federal funds for the meal program".

@asanderford
In Jim Pillen t v ad he says his reason for running for Governor is because he has 7 grandkids,
@Blood4G
has 10 grandkids - so seems Pillen has endorsed Carol Blood
Here is one reason your NE taxes are high- waste by the big government loving Governor Pillen "Pillen defends $2.6 million price tag of sending Nebraska troops, troopers to Texas border "
Stop the false claims about democrats. The GOP runs Nebraska, not the democrats. Under the GOP, property taxes way too high. Time to legalize marijuana and require all tax revenue from its sale to go to reduce property taxes-- to name an easy way to bring in more revenue.
“I’ve never seen anything like it in a State of the Union speech – they ran at him like a pack of lemmings and, with a wink and a grin, he politely directed them to the cliff.”
Anti life gov Pillen claims to run government like a business. Any CEO that refused to accept 18 million $ because it costs 300 thousand for administrative costs would be fired immediately. Pillen just con man who pushes anti life policies by repeating nonsensical talking points
Wow.

hammers himself, Jean Stothert -andPete Ricketts because they all failed to keep people safe-they allowed 400% increase in fentanyl overdoses in Omaha area the last 2 years. and Homicides increased 61% in Omaha in 2020. Bacon is right, Republicans can’t govern
I did not realize that Nancy Pelosi moved to NE and is running for Congress here. Just saw this extraordinarily dishonest ad that claims Pelosi running against Flood for Congress. Geez -Flood - really sad that he cannot come up with any thing he has done in his career

Nebraska Senators Ricketts and Fischer voted for America to default on paying its bills that were previously incurred By Congress. Fischer always voted to raise debt ceiling when Trump President. Ricketts vote strengthens rumor that Herbster will primary him
I understand that the folks who are in charge of NE government for last 24 years are republicans so any increase in taxes, crime etc is because republicans can only whine, they cannot govern
It’s obvious that Pillen and a few Regents are pushing politics into University system. Hopefully the majority of Regents will resist Pillen’s attempt to infuse ideology into academia. Reading, Writing, Science, math, research etc should be focus not Pillen’s personal politics
(1) NE deserves to know when others in the NEGOP knew Sasse was being courted by many to be a University President. Was it before Ricketts donated any money to Pillen in GOP primary? Is that why Ricketts did everything he could to elect Pillen governor?
Has Don Bacon denounced Deb Fischer and Ben Sasse for voting against helping veterans?

“Blood’s positions on the state’s most pressing issues …protecting the state’s water,the opportunity to move toward a more bipartisan style of governance and her desire to represent and work with all Nebraskans earn Blood our endorsement”
Deb Fischer got elected to the Senate by pledging to serve only 2 terms. Fischer is now running for a third term as she hopes voters have amnesia. How can a person be trusted to govern honestly when their word to the voters means nothing? Fischer broke her word-she has no honor
Ouside my office today was the Herbster truck, darn I wish he would have won the primary, Blood would have beat him fairly easily. Anyway the truck touting Herbster has Missouri plates -he spent 11 million dollars but could not register his signature campaign vehicle in NE.
“A second Nebraska governor who campaigned as a fiscal conservative has spent six figures in state tax dollars helping Texas patrol the Southern U.S. border and opting not to request reimbursement.
The state's tab has already pushed north of $600,000 “
Strange times. Restaurants are packed, people are driving everywhere, flying everywhere , everyone who wants to work is employed, crop prices high etc, Yet Republicans claim USA is in dire condition. Are they just America haters?
US News and World Reports rated NE schools 7th in the country. I guess they did not listen to the NE state senators discuss the necessity of a tax giveaway to the wealthy because of the poor quality of NE public schools---- "Nebraska

Pillen is the problem, "Pillen initially denied having made any requests of the regents. He also denied trying to influence their presidential choice. After the Examiner followed up and shared what it had been told, the governor acknowledged having made his wish list clear."

The repubs know how to gerrymander. Dems got rolled on redistricting last year. GOP stuck Saunders county in NE CD2. Bacons margin came out of Saunders county. 4700 vote lead for Bacon -His total lead is about 1600 votes total. Sarpy County always tough and now Sanders too

explained his vote to roll back bank regulations ? He was bragging last election that he cut regulations, why is he silent now? And he can also tell us how his vote cutting back railroad safety regulations was a good idea.
Pete Ricketts silent after Trump found guilty of sex abuse- yet last year he said "“This is beyond horrible,” Gov. Ricketts said. “Charles W. Herbster should beg forgiveness Sexual assault is criminal behavior and should disqualify anyone from elected leadership. "
The Senate seat belongs to the people, not the Governor--

This is contender for dumbest comment by a NE elected “I’m a believer that where there’s guns there’s not violence, so that’s why I signed it,” Governor Pillen said.

On a day a 4th grader was telling lawmakers on Capitol Hill how she covered herself w/ a classmate’s blood and played dead as 19 other children were kiled with an AR-15 rifle, Don Bacon voted against raising the purchase age of that type of semi-automatic weapon from 18 to 21.
