I am praying for all those affected by this horrible terrorist attack. Violent acts of anti-semitism must be met with the harshest penalties.
Last night’s act of terror has the full attention of your FBI. Targeted acts of anti-Semitic violence are typically carried out by spineless, gutless cowards. And the penalties will be harsh as we tighten up this investigation and run down any additional leads. I should have.

Met with @naifa to discuss the important work they’re doing to improve the financial security of families nationally. Nebraska is a big insurance state, employing 24,000 people. The work that NAIFA does is important to our state!

Good news for Nebraska. @USDA announced that it is purchasing Great Northern beans from NE. Nebraska is the nation’s leader in Great Northern bean production. They’re a good source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. We’re excited that USDA is supporting dry edible.

These experimental surgeries have long term, life-altering impacts that can’t be reversed and must end. Take Luka Hein from Omaha, for example, who was sixteen when she received a gender-reassignment surgery. This bill stops these sex-change surgeries for children.
Radicals on the left want taxpayer dollars to pay for hormone therapy and other “gender-affirming” procedures. My Protecting Minors in Federal Health Plans Act will end this madness.

President Trump has hit the ground running working to make better deals for America. That’s what @POTUS’ trip to the Middle East has been about. We’re showing the world: America is back!

Thanks to @ICBA members from Nebraska for stopping by my office this week. We discussed important issues to them, including issues like stablecoin. These bankers provide invaluable services to consumers and create jobs in our communities. Thank you all for what you do!

.@POTUS' trip to the Middle East is already paying off for Nebraska. Burlington Capital is an excellent choice as a partner for this development fund. This will also help America with our diplomacy. It will help show the world that we’re a better trading partner than Communist
