Reps. Don Bacon and Mike Flood voted for harmful cuts that are raising costs for hardworking Nebraskans at the worst possible time. We need our representatives making life more affordable for everyone. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE01 #NE02

A statement from State Director Angie Lauritsen ahead of a key vote on a Republican plan that would raise health care costs. It's time for Congressmen Bacon and Flood to sign onto a discharge petition to vote on a bill extending tax credits for the next three years.

Nebraska For Us is calling on Congressmen Don Bacon and Mike Flood to act after the Senate failed to advance a plan to make health care more affordable in the waning days of open enrollment. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE01 #NE02 https://t.co/0P0AOr04Gm

Nebraska For Us spoke with WOWT about the looming deadline for open enrollment on the Affordable Care Act Marketplace. Families are looking at paying hundreds or even thousands more per month if Congress fails to extend tax credits before time runs out. #DefendingTheGoodLife

“Challenges for farmers have gone on for years, compounding losses. [Nebraska Farmers Union President John Hansen] compared the latest subsidies to having $100 taken from his pocket and getting $50 back.” https://t.co/O0BKvJvG5N

Thank you to U.S. Senator Peter Welch and OpenSky Policy Institute for joining us Friday night for a wide-ranging conversation on challenges related to health care and the looming deadline to extend tax credits. https://t.co/2fkfpex2cJ

TONIGHT AT CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY MIKE AND JOSIE HARPER CENTER HIXSON-LIED AUDITORIUM: https://t.co/JpBkl2iYq2

$132! That's the extra cost that would have been added to last year's holiday shopping bill had the current tariffs been in place. Costs continue to rise for consumers when they were promised lower prices this year. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE01 #NE02 https://t.co/4H0vF6BnjI

People continue feeling worse about the economy as costs keep rising, in part, due to tariffs. The holiday shopping season is causing many to feel the squeeze.

Next Friday, we will gather at Creighton University to welcome U.S. Senator Welch to Omaha as he joins our town hall on rural healthcare in America. Link in bio to register!

Here's last night's coverage from KETV as Nebraska For Us supported YouTurn Omaha's continued advocacy for members of our community. #DefendingTheGoodLife https://t.co/VrEK05V27o

Nebraska For Us was proud to join YouTurn Omaha this morning to prepare 100 turkeys for people in the metro this Thanksgiving! One thing is clear: the need only continues to grow. #DefendingTheGoodLife

The majority of consumers say they’re paying more for groceries, utilities, healthcare, housing and gasoline than they were at this time last year. New tariffs and cuts to key programs are only making the problem worse. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE01 #NE02

We're less than a month away from the open enrollment deadline, and families across the metro are experiencing sticker shock when seeing their premium increases. It's time for Congress to permanently extend tax credits to make healthcare more affordable. #NE01 #NE02

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a powerful night of stories related to cuts at the federal government. Additionally, we were so appreciative of all the coats our guests donated to our community as the weather gets colder.

Now that the House has voted to end the government shutdown, Nebraska For Us is calling on our federal delegation to tackle expiring health care tax credits before time runs out. #DefendingTheGoodLife #NE01 #NE02 https://t.co/wT8YHvqluW

Please get to know some of our storytellers for Wednesday's event. FYI, new coats are preferred but we will also be collecting gently used winter items (coats, hats, gloves, etc.).
