    Kawasaki has been in Lincoln for 50 years. They’re a fantastic example of manufacturing success in America. 3,000 Nebraskans earn their living here. The Working Families Tax Cuts will better support them and their families.

    Border security is national security.   This further highlights the importance of securing our border.   Political violence is anti-American.   Thank you to @FBIOmaha, @NEStatePatrol, and Sheriff Hanson for keeping us safe.

    Today is National Day of Prayer for Agriculture in Nebraska. 2026 has been a challenging year for our farmers and ranchers. Despite hardships, these women and men still show up to feed and fuel our state and world. I join @TeamPillen and Nebraskans in praying for our

    Today, I introduced bipartisan legislation to examine how we can strengthen partnerships between financial institutions and fintech companies. These partnerships can help institutions, like community banks and credit unions, to compete and better serve customers. Technology

    When Nebraskans apply for SNAP, they need timely approval. That’s why I introduced the SNAP Staffing Flexibility Act. This bill would allow state agencies to hire contractors when they don’t have sufficient staff to distribute benefits on time. This will better ensure Nebraskans

    I am deeply grateful for our brave service women and men who have executed Operation Epic Fury. We will never forget those who lost their lives in defense of our freedom, including Nebraska’s own Noah Tietjens. Our military’s actions significantly degraded Iran’s nuclear weapons

    The average age of a first-time homebuyer is 40 years old. A decade ago, the average age was 31. We need to do more to make homeownership affordable. @SenateGOP is fighting to pass housing legislation that would make housing more affordable. We need to get this done.

    Instead of helping our law enforcement officers make our nation’s capital safer, D.C. officials are targeting our brave women and men in blue. I’m glad to join this effort to reject D.C.’s anti-police agenda. These law enforcement officers deserve our support.

    My prayers are with Coach Darlington’s family. He was a great Nebraskan, an outstanding leader, and a model person.

    This is absolutely tragic news. It reminds us that the women and men in our military make great sacrifices to keep Americans safe. Susanne and I are praying for the families of those involved in this terrible accident. God bless our troops.

    Political violence is never acceptable. It’s absolutely terrible that people think doing something like this is okay. Thank you to the FBI and our law enforcement officers for preventing this awful attack on Americans.
