"The Trump administration's unconstitutional withholding of funds... hurts kids. Cuts to SNAP hurt families, businesses, and blow a hole in the state's budget. We need a leader in Washington who will stand up to President Trump's erratic behavior." www.3newsnow.com/central-omah...
Public media is under threat. Millions depend on the NPR Network every day. Silencing journalism is one way to silence truth and erode the power of the people.
Today, President Trump signed a bill into law that will eliminate $1.1B of federal funding for public media. This devastating act tipped the threat against journalism in America into a crisis.
Millions depend on the NPR Network. Now, we’re counting on you.

Tell your rep to sign the discharge petition for the Protect America’s Workforce Act to reverse Trump’s union-busting executive order! act.aflcio.org/call_campaig...
In this world where truth is under attack at every turn we need trusted public media. Support your local public broadcasters and support candidates who support public media.
Americans of all political stripes support unions. That’s why we have the bill AND votes to overturn Trump’s union-busting executive order. Call your reps and tell them to sign the discharge petition and bring @golden.house.gov’s Protect America’s Workforce Act to the floor for a vote.
Congress has already made several disastrous cuts to essential programs like Medicaid, ending health care for millions. Now they have continued the chaos by cutting $1.1 billion in federal funds for public broadcasting. In Nebraska, public broadcasting covers the Legislature and gives the public the transparency they need to hold their state senators accountable. Over 15% of Nebraska Public Media’s budget comes from federal funding. Losing federal funding means risking the valuable programming and essential news NPM provides for all Nebraskans. Nationally, public broadcasting is the primary source of emergency weather alerts in rural areas, further risking lives from floods like in Texas, and putting Nebraskans in danger from severe weather like tornadoes. Deep cuts will also threaten programs like “Sesame Street” that teach our children values and manners. I am strongly opposed to funding cuts for public broadcasting, and will support the restoration of these funds.

I wrote an opinion piece in the World-Herald today about why Trump's "big beautiful bill" is bad. Check it out. omaha.com/opinion/colu...
This Congress cares more about billionaires than regular people. We need to stop letting special interests control Congress.
It’s time to take back the People's House.

This bill is about tax massive tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of everyday Americans. #NE02
Today, the House passed the Billionaire Bailout Bill. “While everyday Nebraskans struggle with healthcare costs, Republicans in Congress are gutting Medicaid and handing out tax breaks to their largest donors. This is not leadership - it’s economic sabotage. It’s time to change Congress.” – Sen. John Cavanaugh
Congress just passed a huge tax break for billionaires while gutting Medicaid and taking healthcare away from millions of Americans. It's time to change Congress. #NE02
Stop the Billionaire Bailout Bill
Thank you to the Saunders County Democrats for having me speak at your meeting lastnight, and thank you to Fariner Bakery owners Jared and Damie for a great night.
I had a great meal at BW’s Pub and Grill with Bart.
Congress just proved why it is so broken -- Trump and Senate Republicans advanced their “Big Beautiful Bill” with JD Vance casting the tiebreaking vote. This means $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, and 10.6 million people would lose their Medicaid coverage. Those are cuts to health care for children, cuts to nursing homes, and cuts that threaten Nebraska hospitals – all to pay for even more tax breaks for the very wealthy. Not on my watch. It’s why I’m running for Congress. I’ll lower the costs of healthcare and support tax relief that helps working families and small businesses. It’s time to end the chaos in Washington and get things back in balance for working families here in Nebraska.
