When I was a kid, my dad worked one job and we had a house, a car, vacations most summers, and health insurance.

Try doing that on one income today. Something didn't just change. Something was changed. On purpose.

Tyson Foods’ boss sees a more than 50% pay raise in fiscal 2025 - Talk Business & Politics Tyson Foods’ CEO Donnie King and Chief Financial Officer Curt Calaway were paid well despite a more than $1 billion loss in the beef segment business, according to a Dec....

Tyson CEO Donnie King made $34.4 million in 2025. This is an increase of 51.3% from his compensation in 2024.

Don't believe these "woe-is-me" narratives from Tyson. They laid off 3,200 workers a WEEK before Thanksgiving. They upended a town.

Save your sympathy for the 3,200 workers in Lexington.

Under Ricketts and Pillen's "leadership," Nebraska's budget deficit has ballooned to $646 million.

Nebraska. Your leaders are failing you, and they're not even good at their jobs.

Reject school vouchers. Elect better leaders.

Pete Ricketts and Jim Pillen don't care about what the majority of Nebraskans really want. They don't care what you voted for. They want to impose THEIR agenda on Nebraska whether Nebraskans like it or not.

Last week, after pushback from Pillen, the Appropriations Committee reversed themselves and voted to put $3.5 million for vouchers BACK in the budget anyway. All while cutting $18 million from special education.

In January, Pillen and Ricketts tried to sneak $7 million for a new voucher program into the Department of Labor budget. Not the Department of Education. The Department of Labor.

The Appropriations Committee initially said no. That should have been the end of it right? Nope.

In 2024, Nebraska voters rejected private school vouchers by nearly 60%. Voters in 45 of 49 legislative districts said NO.

So did Jim Pillen and Pete Ricketts accept the will of the voters? Of course not.

Billionaires buy private islands. They buy politicians. They buy elections.

That's why I'm fighting to end Citizens United, pass strict contribution limits, and force full transparency on every dollar spent trying to influence your vote.

The people who actually build and fix things in this country are treated like dirt. The people who move money around on a spreadsheet get to write the rules for the rest of us. Something got completely flipped upside down somewhere along the way. We need to flip it back. Osborn 2026.

Here’s a revolutionary idea:

More workers, fewer trust fund babies in the U.S. Senate.

Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are making billions off AI.

Your electric bill and water bill are going up because of their data centers.

Why are regular people and small businesses picking up the tab for the richest people on earth?

The same politicians who vote to cut rural hospital funding can magically always find the money when their billionaire donors need a tax cut.

There are families in Nebraska choosing between medicine and groceries this week. Meanwhile, the CEO of Eli Lilly made $29 million in 2024. Something is deeply wrong with our priorities as a country and I’m running to change them.

It already has 77 cosponsors including my opponent in the Senate and 316 in the House. Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson should get this bill to President Trump's desk as soon as possible.

Their retirement pay is offset dollar-for-dollar by the amount of disability pay they receive. Some end up with no retirement benefits at all

The Major Richard Star Act would end this offset, giving service members the full benefits they deserve. This is the kind of bipartisan legislation I support

Under current law, veterans forced to medically retire due to combat or combat-related injuries do not receive their full retirement pay from the Department of Defense AND their full disability compensation from the VA.

I focus on issues that ALL Nebraskans can get behind and that's why we've been so successful.

When I talk about breaking up the monopolies controlling 85% of beefpacking, Republicans and Democrats agree with me. When I talk about protecting family-owned grocery stores from corporate giants like Dollar General, Republicans and Democrats agree with me.

I'm tired of being represented by people who have never sat across from a bill they couldn't pay. If you can’t relate to the American people, you should not represent the American people.

These Teamsters have families to feed. They deserve better.

Terry Farr is the General Manager. He can end this strike today. Let him know where you stand.

In 2023, Glazer's Beer & Beverage bought Premiere Midwest Beer & Beverage. After decades of harmony between Local 554 and mgmt, new ownership came in and blew it up. Stalled negotiations. Unfair proposals. A contract offer so bad that workers couldn't even afford the health insurance it included.

Think about how many times in your life you've been on hold with an insurance company, getting the runaround for something you already paid for. That's not an accident. That's their business model.

The local hardware store is gone. The family-owned pharmacy is gone. The independent grocery store is gone. This is happening in towns all over Nebraska because our elected leaders work for the corporations that replaced them.

The ruling class keeps their power by dividing working people.

The fight has always been top vs. bottom, not left vs. right.

They don’t want us to know that.

The truth is we are not as divided as we think, and have far more in common with one another than we do with them.
