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.

New window signs at our office today!

Members of Teamsters Local 554 continue to strike for a fair contract with Premier Midwest Beverage.

I am proud to stand with them.

If elected to the Senate, I'll fight to pass Right to Repair so farmers & consumers can fix their own equipment, fight the Visa/Mastercard stranglehold on swipe fees, and take on the healthcare monopolies squeezing all of us.

He gave everything in service to this country, and that sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Sergeant Tietjens.

Tonight we received the heartbreaking news that Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens from Bellevue, Nebraska was killed in Kuwait on March 1st.

My sincere condolences and sympathy to Sgt. Tietjens' family and friends. I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now.

Why are we starting yet another foreign war when we have so many problems we desperately need to fix here at home?

Every single man and woman who signed on the dotted line deserves the best care in the world. I look forward to working with people like Elgin to make that a reality.

I got to meet Elgin at our town hall in Omaha yesterday. He’s a Vietnam veteran and retired veterans service officer. He shared his concerns about crippling staffing shortages and efforts to privatize care at the VA.

Town hall’s like the one we held last night remind me what this campaign is all about: that there is no amount of money more powerful than everyday people coming together.

β€˜This is crazy and I just don't think we need to keep getting into forever wars," he said. β€˜I think this country needs to be more introspective, to work on our problems that we have here at home. Isn't that what America First is supposed to be about?’”

Pete Ricketts said he was going to treat the Tyson plant closure in Lexington, Nebraska like a "natural disaster."

But he's not treating it like one. Here's what he should be doing πŸ‘‡

She plans on attending the University of Nebraska at Omaha for pre law. I’m so proud of her achievements and look forward to see her continue to grow and succeed in all her endeavors. Love you Eve! ❀️

Megan and I were so happy to be on the court for my daughter Eve’s Senior night at the girls Millard South basketball game (which they won btw). Eve has been dancing from the time she could walk and is extremely talented at it. She also is a member of the National Honor Society.

Targeted Tariffs – Osborn for Senate
YouTube video by Osborn for Senate Targeted Tariffs – Osborn for Senate

Targeted tariffs can be a great tool for protecting American jobs and workers, but blanket tariffs raise everyday costs for small businesses and families like mine.

When politicians get it wrong, it’s working people who foot the bill.

β€˜Big Four’ meatpackers under fire as beef prices soar McDonald’s and other food industry players accuse the big beef packers of collusion and price-gouging. The packers deny these allegations

3,200 Nebraskans lost their jobs when Tyson closed the Lexington plant. Meanwhile Tyson's profits were UP 6.5%.

Why would a profitable company shut down one of its biggest plants?

This article explains exactly how the Big 4 meatpackers rig the system while your grocery bill goes through the roof.

And all this is contributing to about a million cats and dogs in shelters getting put down each year in the US. A million. A moral and environmental catastrophe.

They charge hundreds for spay/neuter and the standard of care is insane.

We need to get back to a system where more local small businesses can thrive in this country. The corporations have done far too little to help the American people.

Our vet clinic got bought out, and this is exactly what happened. Our own vet who started the practice eventually β€œretired” and we are struggling to find a new one who provides good, individualized care. Very sad situation

I can't remember the last time I paid less than $500 at the vet (usually significantly more), and most of the time all we're there to do is treat an ear infection

It's getting so that having a pet you can properly take care of is going to become a luxury for the upper-middle-class-and-above. Medication for pets is also getting out of sight.

Same thing happened to me. The well respected local practice went from putting the animal first to putting my credit card first after VCA bought them. They would just shrug and send you away if you couldn’t pay. No regard for the animals. I don’t know how people can do that.

several years ago, VCA bought a neighborhood practice. They had been in business for DECADES. It was never the same

My wife is a Vet.. one thing I'll say is that those escalating costs aren't resulting in the doctor making a lot of money. Tough, tough profession.

Just another example of β€œmiddle class” life expenses (home, pet, college, daycare) exploding and making everything less affordable

Daughter works at 1. They used to have 3 nurses/vet, now it’s 1. The nurses do all the tests, X-rays, labs, cleanings, trims, room set up/clean up, surgical prep, then don’t make a living wage. They also cut her benefits to 30 hrs paid time off- vacation, sick & personal time!
