Proposal to cap Nebraska's minimum wage increases stalls in dramatic fashion • Nebraska Examiner Filibustering lawmakers celebrated a short-term political victory defending what they called “the will of the people.”

Ahh, now I get why Ballard voted PNV.

Yes! I remember that and I knew Wordekemper was going to be a No, but was curious if Ballard meant to PNV and just forgot about that rule? They needed both Ballard's and Sorrentino's Yes vote. Thank you for answering!

I'm confused because the record shows only 31 Yes votes...Senator Ballard is listed as a No with a note stating he was PNV at the time vote was recorded...did 2 senators make blunders?

Nebraska voters passed a minimum wage increase. LB258 guts it.

I’m calling on the advocacy community: Boycott the businesses of senators backing it. Picket their offices. Fill the rotunda. Your vote is not theirs to undo. #NELeg

Today, most of our state senators voted to ignore voters and undermine the paid sick leave reform that the vast majority of us approved just months ago.

See the story for a link to the vote count and make sure your senator hears from you this weekend. #NEleg

If you’ve got a Porsche in the driveway, a lake house for the summer, and a Rolex on your wrist, but you say you can’t afford to give your employees one hour of paid time off per 30 hours worked, (passed by the ppl in November!!) you’re not a job creator. You’re a grifter. #NELeg

New at FFP: DOGE, the cost-cutting team headed by Elon Musk, has canceled the leases on buildings where Nebraska farmers meet with federal workers, where western Nebraskans get tax help and where tourists to Valentine learn about the Niobrara River. Read more 🔗 buff.ly/5uFMcSy

So very happy about this well- deserved win! If you haven't seen Flow yet, go watch it right meow! 🐈‍⬛

Flow was a movie experience I was not expecting in 2025.

The dreamlike animation, deeply emotional storytelling, and haunting score create a truly mesmerizing cinematic journey. Every moment resonates, even without words.

If a company fails to protect your personal data, they should be held accountable. LB 241 makes that nearly impossible, shielding big corporations while leaving Nebraskans vulnerable to fraud. Our job is to protect people, not make it easier for corporations to get away with negligence. #NELeg

I live in Ag country. You can’t even imagine how many signs I passed saying, “Farmers for Trump.”

This graph was posted by Iowa Democratic Representative, JD Sholten.

The dissolution of the PCAH is a loss of a vital, bipartisan voice advocating for the arts, which has historically bridged cultural, political, and financial support. Without it, we risk losing federal backing for arts education, cultural diplomacy, diversity, inclusion, and free expression. 😔

Target's Black History Month promotion page advertising Black-owned companies; featuring pictures of Black people and items promoting Black Culture recognition.

I got a push notification for this promotion, and it feels very inconsistent with Target's recent cut of DEI. Using culture recognition for financial gain without a commitment to the values behind it feels, honestly, icky. This isn't genuine nor authentic. It's just a means to capitalize on funds.
