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

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!

🍎From safe spaces to food access, there’s several great bills with hearings next week to make Nebraska a better place for all our neighbors!

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.
Watching #NELeg and I have never seen Senator Conrad this (rightfully) angry. LB653 is up with AM1947 and there is laughter heard off on the side of the floor. She (appropriately) calls it out as those taking selfies & playing legislature. “You don’t need 12 years to know this work is serious.”
look should m cav have removed those pictures? probs not but she's not wrong about the lies that they promoted and the history it leaves out and likely the capitol commission not approving it
free my girl she did nothing wrong
#neleg
when @meganhunt.bsky.social and wendy deboer get term limited out at the end of this year i feel like the collective iq of the #neleg is about to drop 50% going into 2027
📢🔥⚖️ Let’s get loud for these bills that advance justice for folks across Nebraska!

i mean yes the fascists in the #neleg are criminally underfunding our public uni system, this is true
but it is also true that it is being mismanaged into the ground by its own leadership
if both sets of shitheads get their way NU will just be an empty data center with a 6-6 football team attached
Not up on #NELeg machinations, so don't get how bill is derailed by one senator's sexual harassment/painfully awkward mocking of another senator (could have been either, really, with some of these poorly socialized clods). Whichever, thank God McKeon quit or whole session would be shut down by now.
The #neleg is making it clear that they don't work for everyday people by cutting the minimum wage - even in an era of rising costs. I believe that everyone deserves to be paid fairly for their work - and that includes young people.
Laying down a little sexy talk during a debate about antisemitism definitely seems like Gering state senator move. #NELeg
Sen Murman, after Sens M Cavanaugh, Dungan & Juarez spoke against Sen Hardin’s comments to Sen Hunt, would like to get back to the bill at hand, LB538 & FA960.
Shortly after, the Speaker passed it over, as suggested by one of the prior speakers. #neleg
Around the 2 hour mark on #NELeg video today, the Nebraskan LD8 sent to represent us, Sen Hunt, retells an interaction with Sen Hardin. His blatant sexual harassment is not only inappropriate, but it has no place in our government. Shame on Senator Hardin. Shame on anyone who heard & is silent.
screenshot of three connected tweets by nebraska senator Megan Hunt, @NebraskaMegan on twitter. the first tweet quotes a question tweeted by @stevewhitenews: "Tuned into the Nebraska Legislature to see debate on the antisemitism bill only to hear Sen. Hunt recount an exchange with a male senator who apparently said something about her 'getting wet'. I missed the full context. Can someone fill us in?" Hunt quotes White's tweet and says "I approached the introducer to discuss an amendment. I said 'So, is this a non-starter?' Him: 'YOU'RE a non-starter.' And he looked into my eyes and slowly said 'You're getting really, REALLY wet.' Me: ..... excuse me? Him: 'If you bring the thunder, you're gonna get REALLY wet.'" in the second tweet, Hunt continues: "I'd like to know if Senator Hardin is in the habit of speaking to women that way, with that language and suggestive tone. This 'thunder/wet' thing is not a saying. That is not a folksy colloquialism. I believe it was a deliberate attempt to bully/harass me but I am NOT the one." in a third tweet, Hunt adds "He said other rude weird shit to me too but that was the most inappropriate part"
the rate at which white republican christian men in the #neleg keep outing themselves as fuckin creeps seems to be increasing
Instead of cutting property taxes, Nebraska Legislators voted today to cut minimum wages.. .By one vote, they rolled back a ballot measure that was passed on the ballot in 2022.
