Back to school surprise packages are ready from my shop :) Order a care package of supplies and treats for students or teachers. If you leave a note at checkout about the recipient, I can tailor it to suit them best. These are so fun to make, thanks as always for your support. 🙂 shopfivenine.com

Already this special session has cost NE taxpayers over $250,000. Under the plan Gov Pillen proposed, his prop taxes would be reduced by nearly $1m. This was always a reverse-Robin Hood boondoggle that hurts working families and local businesses, while benefiting the largest wealthiest landowners

My kid’s school does free lunch and breakfast and it is a godsend for those of us who also start work early and are already juggling a million other things. Statistically, the burden of doing things like this falls disproportionately on women even when they also work.

I’m sorry but this is an insane quote to run when the Democratic nominee is married to a Jewish man, the Democratic Senate Majority leader is a Jewish man, and the Republican nominee is making a point of hanging out with Nick Fuentes and Kanye West. www.nytimes.com/2024/08/06/u...

But beneath that public sentiment is unease.
"This is a very, very fraught time; it's not just hand-wringing," said Rabbi Moshe Hauer, the executive vice president for the Orthodox Union, which represents Judaism's orthodox wing. "We always worry about antisemitism on both ends. But our greater worry right now is that antisemitism on the left seems to be far more influential on a major party than the antisemitism on the right."

Anyway, we are in a special session right now to reduce property taxes by increasing sales taxes because the governor is sad that his bill failed during our regular session, and I hate it. Here are some of my notes for debate tomorrow.

I think this is right. NE and California progressives have dominated the national left-of-center conversation for so long that people aren’t aware that winning with progressive ideas in the Midwest requires talking like a sensible adult rather than calling everyone Comrade and talking revolution.

Every year for my bday, we do a promo at my shop where you name your price, and I send you a care package of things I think you’ll like based on what I know (or don’t know) about you. Pens, notebooks, organizing tools, all of it super special. shopfivenine.com/products/sur...

Pillen is not a conservative -- this is him protecting big government. If one of these child sexual assault survivors was one of his kids or grandkids, he would be fighting for justice with us instead of shielding big government wrongdoers. Legacy of a coward. journalstar.com/news/state-r...

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen vetoes bill meant to hold public schools liable for sex abuse
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen vetoes bill meant to hold public schools liable for sex abuse

The bill would have allowed state courts to order public schools to pay punitive damages as a result of civil lawsuits — a move that state law prevents.
