WSJ: “The Democratic Party’s image has eroded to its lowest point in over three decades, according to a new poll, with voters seeing the GOP as the better option on most issues that decide elections.”

Republicans are seen as better at handling most issues that decide elections despite respondents’ unease with President Trump over the economy, tariffs and foreign policy.

We received good news that OMB released the $40M that was appropriated for Nebraska’s schools that was put on hold. Our schools had already budgeted for this money and signed contracts. We worked together and got this fixed.
I strongly urge OMB to release the appropriated money to our public schools. If funding is not released, Millard Public Schools in Omaha would face an unexpected burden of nearly $900K. OMB is causing hardships all over the country for our local schools.

You have the right to say stupid anti-Semitic stuff, and we have the right to not like it and call you out for it. Your behavior is shameful and repugnant.
@RepDonBacon @PeterABedford Why are you working with subversive jews to censor our freedom of speech?

You can’t come to Nebraska without going to a rodeo and we had to make sure our friends were prepared, with some help from Aaron at Cavender’s! Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge found some boots and @PeterABedford found a great hat!

We are thankful our letter to OMB helped spur the release of these already appropriated funds, as they should not have been frozen in the first place.

I’m concerned we are not correctly organized for the cyber fight we find ourselves in today, let alone a more complex & consequential future fight. I want to ensure our Cyber team is postured right for a potential fight with China over Taiwan.

Similar provisions in House and Senate versions of NDAA legislation are asking for assessments that could alter how cyber capabilities are employed within geographic combatant commands.
