FYI, Carol Blood is endorsed by Planned Parenthood. The unicameral had the votes to pass that abortion ban until she pointed out that it would criminalize doctors. That argument peeled off two votes. She’s pro-choice.

Thank you, Jennifer Rubin. I really admire Biden’s seeming ability to not get rattled by the media hysteria (present company excluded) and just continue to focus on the mission.

Voice from Nebraska here. It looks that they don’t have the votes at present. Anything can happen, I suppose, but there are only 7 days left in the session. They have a hill to climb.
I briefly worked in the Woodmen bldg downtown. Only 3 or 4 floors are actually occupied. It’s like a ghost building. So, is Mutual really going to use a skyscraper?

Good for you! When I was a poll worker, we were very careful about that kind of thing. Don’t tell me she doesn’t have any other jewelry. On Election Day.
Driving grandkids home from Zorinsky Lake, windows open, beautiful night. Young guy in truck turns up his stereo at stoplight. I ignore him until he starts sing-song screaming “Let’s Go Brandon - Fuck Joe Biden”. Forgot about my small bumper sticker. 1/

This is the best articulation of my concerns about Bernie and his candidacy. I’ve attended two of his rallies, and I do feel well-informed and generally sympathetic to his positions. I have serious concerns about his ability to effect the change he advocates.

Thanks! The legislature is in session right now. One of our senators just introduced this as an amendment to an unrelated bill. They want to ram it through before we can show up to protest. It’s 8:45pm here.

I can’t find find a PCR appointment between now and Wednesday within a 50 mile radius of my home. So, I guess I’ll put on a KN-95 mask and go hunting for an over-the-counter test. But if they’re not accurate, I don’t know what I should do.
Dear Nebraska: ready for new leadership in LD31?
A leader who believes healthcare decisions belong to patients & their doctors, not politicians; who knows strong public schools are critical for a thriving democracy.

My biggest beef with Jon Stewart lately is that he constantly interrupts his guests. He gets to pontificate for his monologue, and then he brings on experts and won’t let them finish a sentence.
@shannonrwatts
I will never in my life forgive those fellow Americans who refuse to see the need for laws to make it harder to terrorize and assault people.
@GovRicketts
You need to close bars, restaurants and gyms and issue a mandate for mask-wearing in public. Pressure the Senate to pass the Heroes Act so people and small businesses can stay afloat until we reduce spread of virus.

@NEGOP
Their apology consisted of deflecting attention to their political opponents. I guess they aren’t really the party of personal responsibility.
@MarkHertling
Why is he the first US President who’s ever been criticized for this? What about Reagan and the Bushes? Why is that the thing everyone is talking about today?🙄
@kohenari
Appalling. And so outrageous this man wasn’t shunned and asked to leave. I hope we’re doing our damndest to defeat these people at the polls.
@SenatorSlama
@NEGOP
You’re spot on. I don’t know why the old men of the legislature don’t have a modicum of dignity and integrity. Thank you for having some courage.

@KlasfeldReports
They want to fish around to see if Pomerantz will give up info on the DA’s evidence, so that Trump’s attorneys can plan his defense. GOP can also “pre-but” by flooding media with defense.
@kumailn
We’re delivering. And the national news isn’t reporting it, but Biden’s ahead in District 1 also. More votes to count, but Biden might get 2 votes from Nebraska.
@AmySavinParker
@HunterDK
Yes. I think even Warren, if she makes her way through, would be a stronger advocate for progressive policies and a more unifying candidate than Bernie would.
@SenatorFischer
You must not have listened. I don’t make over $400k annually. Nor am I a corporation. So raise taxes on that upper bracket. That would be super.
@SenatorFischer
So, as a vegetarian for years, I can safely say that I’ve never accidentally bought hamburgers. Have any of you carnivores returned from the grocery store having accidentally grabbed veggie burgers? I don’t think this happens...
@RepDonBacon
When my father was in a nursing home, confined to his bed, I brought him his ballot and took it to the Dropbox by the Election Commission office. Your party considers that “harvesting” his vote.😠
@Stonekettle
You’re a very talented writer, and I’ve enjoyed reading your thoughts, experiences, and takes. I don’t write much myself. I’m kind of new to Twitter and don’t really get all the follow-back etiquette and such. I’m sorry that happened to you though.

, you need to drop out. You’ve demonstrated your lack of empathy, lack of judgement, and lack of character in a manner so salient to the public that you have no chance of winning. Allow a young, black woman a historic opportunity.
Thanks for the kind comments, good people. Apparently, trolls are sniffing around, too, so I’m going to mute. Let’s all have a lovely weekend full of sunshine and chicolate bunnies!
I registered on the Nebraska vaccinate website, and hadn’t heard anything, but since I’m 60, I thought it wasn’t my turn. I called Sarpy Cty Health Dept and have a vax scheduled for tomorrow since my spouse is vaccinated. Doesn’t hurt to call!!
@SenMcKinneyLD11
Of course, Senator. We can, and should, do both. Using tax dollars to fund religious education isn’t the way to go, though. We need to strengthen schools, especially local schools.
@GovRicketts
@POTUS
We’re unifying against liars and traitors like the former President and his supporters. So if you one of the MAGA Republicans trying to destroy the foundations of American democracy, we are indeed unifying against you.
@morgann_freeman
@SeeingRedNE
Morgann, you need to speak with an attorney about that post. That’s putting a target on your back. Sorry you have to deal with this.😞
@OWHopinion
This writer is an ass. I choose to spend public money on schools that are accountable to us, the taxpayers, not to someone’s church or private corporation. We have to say that some things are held in the common good and not for profit.
