Call a special session if need be ✅

the #neleg already broke its own rules by not having a balanced budget to the gov's desk by day 50, and last night my lobbyist friend told me the current budget bill is "in a ditch" so they're on course to violate the state constitution too if they don't get it done before adjourning on day 60

"Scorched Earth Megan Hunt" is my favorite Megan Hunt. #NELeg

lol called Sen Kauth’s office to tell her it was embarrassing that she has to pay random dudes from Florida to pump her petition bc we don’t want it and they told me “she’s not involved“ hmm… #neleg

Lord, keep an eye out if you are running around in the 72nd and Dodge area today… just had a 45 minute conversation with a young man from Florida who is trying to pedal the anti-trans constitutional amendment petition #neleg

why does sen ben hansen have no eyebrows????

#neleg

Republican legislatures already grappling with budget shortfalls consider further cuts and new taxes to cover funding gaps by the "big, beautiful bill."
Side note: The Nebraska federal delegation including Congressmen Bacon and Flood voted for this to happen. #NEleg

🎉🎉 ✅ LB1032 advanced from committee!! 🎉🎉 #NELeg

LB1032 recognizes tribal customary adoptions in Nebraska state law, ensuring Native children can maintain their connections to their families, tribes, communities, and culture, while still finding permanency out of care.

I made a fuss directly to my representatives in the #neleg. They want to vote in city elections? They can pay all the city taxes.

Calling the 3:1 no on voucher voting close is quite the spin, Sen Dover. It has been solidly no across this state every time it is on the ballot. This is the one topic this divided state agrees on consistently over generations. #neleg

Every Senator* up using “poor kids” or “poor children” as an excuse for vouchers, but not for free school lunches are seriously disingenuous and ignorant of how children learn best. #neleg

*Yes, it is exactly the ones you are thinking of. #NotMySenator #LD08

Is anyone listening to #NELeg today? I’m a bit confused why Sen Armendariz thinks only public schools can choose to close their school with or without public input.

The supporters of the vouchers are yet again trying to pass a bill that over 70+% voted down.

Dan Quick (R): Large employers don't want to come here because Nebraska doesn't have the workforce.

Why is that, Dan? Please, elaborate...

#NELeg

Someone, please keep mentioning cancelling the Perkins Co. Canal project. Mainly to save money, but to trigger and piss off Sen. Mike Jacobson. #NELeg

"It makes my skin crawl a little bit to have a bill come into committee that's literally written and created for one person," Hunt said. "Tom Osborne has received these laudations throughout his life and this is one more that we will be changing the law, and ignoring the constitution, to add to the pile."

Senators clash over bill to induct Tom Osborne into Hall of Fame

Senator Hunt is right.
What a monumental waste of #neleg time.
Better to spend time on this than a hate bill, but still.

global oil prices are spiking in response to a stupid and illegal war, which means democrat jane raybould's minimum wage cut and inflexible 1.5% cap on automatic inflation-based increases passed by the #neleg is gonna hurt even more nebraskans

Nebraska’s budget deficit to grow by roughly $175M after new economic forecast — Nebraska Examiner LINCOLN — A new economic forecast effectively doubled the size of Nebraska’s projected deficit from what state lawmakers had reduced it to so far this legislative session.

Despite what the governor says we are in a budget crisis caused by him and we get to pay it and get worse state services because of his mess #neleg apple.news/Ap7cCsOuWSRm...

Sen Roundtree addresses the truancy tracking countering to the claim that education is a privilege and not a right. If one could through education away with no accountability, then truancy wouldn’t be a thing. #neleg

*must be nice to live in a world of his own making where there are those worthy of education, housing, food, clean water and air.

Privilege is the Republican word of the day in #neleg

Listening to LB654, knowing that some in the room don’t think that any of the reasons given are actually valid.

Then, as I type this, Sen Hansen gets up and confirms what I’ve been thinking this morning. He doesn’t mince words. It doesn’t sound like he believes everyone should be educated. #neleg

steve erdman once proposed adding a second chamber to the unicameral #neleg, with 31 offices each repping 3 of nebraska's 93 counties, bc he was angry about filibusters from urban senators

almost half of our 2M live in douglas/lancaster counties! 67 counties have <10k, and 12 don't even break 1k!

Thank you to Senator Wendy DeBoer for introducing this bill and the State-Tribal Relations Committee for prioritizing it. And special thanks to the incredible advocates who brought their voices to the #NELeg to testify in support of this critical bill!

It’s that time in the #NELeg session — senators are naming their priorities, committee hearings wrap up next week and full days of floor debate begin soon. Get ready to get real comfortable contacting your state senator!

It is 11:31, still on LB 653 and AM1947 & AM2098.

Ready to be proven wrong, but I still haven’t heard anyone speak directly about THEIR own district. #neleg

nah fuck the exec cmte of the #neleg, mcav was right to take that shit down. prageru is nazi trash sanitized for public normalization and it defiles our capitol by its very presence

Senator McKinney reminds Senators that they shouldn’t be complaining about him representing and talking about OPS. They should be talking about the districts they actually represent. #neleg

Send Lonowski, Hughes & Kauth are apparently the ones who have been assigned by the majority to speak.
