NEGOP

I'm running for Congress to cut red tape, unleash American energy, and back our small businesses. A strong Nebraska is an affordable Nebraska.

I guess those of us who live in the southeastern part of Nebraska don’t matter to Brett Lindstrom. That was the banner on Brett's Media Release yesterday. I don’t know how his team could have sent out a release with an image that cuts off our beautiful part of the state. For the record, I do not support any third-party or independent run for either Governor or United States Senator. Each party has a vetting process, and more and more we’re seeing candidates who cannot make it through that process look for an easier path. A shortcut. Brett Lindstrom has run as a Republican for Congress in 2012, told voters he was a conservative Republican when he ran for the Legislature in 2014 and 2018, ran for Governor as a Republican in 2022, ran again as a Republican for Congress earlier this year, and now—when it’s most convenient—he’s running for Governor as an “Independent.” The truth is, Brett Lindstrom’s voting record on key issues—benefits for illegal immigrants, increasing the gasoline tax, and eliminating the death penalty to name a few—aligns more closely with the Democratic Party. Lindstrom’s all-Omaha ticket is a slap in the face to voters west of Elkhorn, and allowing an image that cuts off southeast Nebraska is further proof that he just doesn’t care or isn't paying attention. Nebraska needs a Governor for all of Nebraska, not someone who needs to take a shortcut. We cannot allow our state to be overtaken by a left-wing Democrat like Lynn Walz or a fake Independent like Brett Lindstrom.

Our team had a blast meeting folks at the Ceresco Days Parade this weekend. Thank you to the dozens of volunteers who spent their Saturday night with us and showed out strong! 💪

At the end of a particularly thrilling and rollicking meeting in the Oval Office, Lindsey Graham turned to the room and said: “I’ve never had this much fun in my life.” I cannot describe to you how much joy President Trump’s leadership and friendship brought to Lindsey. Meetings with Graham at the White House were filled with camaraderie, kinship and uproarious laughter. As heartbreaking as his sudden passing is, I hope it will bring some measure of comfort to those who cherished him to know just how much he was living his dream every day. Very rarely in life do you get to be exactly where you want to be, when you want to be there, with who you want to be with, doing precisely what you want to do — that was every moment for Lindsey. When President Trump won in Nov 2024, Lindsey was exultant. Elated. And determined. He couldn’t wait to spearhead work, as the Budget Chairman, on the reconciliation bill that would cement President Trump’s most important campaign promises. I’ll never forget the senate lunch, when a couple Senators were a tad off the program, and Lindsey — in his inimitable way — made sure everyone was onside by the time we left. It was a glorious thing to witness. He knew how to move a room. Lindsey was a senator’s senator. The job was everything to him. Truly did he believe in the splendor of the office and the noble lineage behind it, of which he was the worthy heir. He was a senator in the mold of those who fashioned the institution, someone who still had the ability, in a heated exchange, to use rhetorical power to change the course of events. Which is why we will never forget his legendary Kavanaugh moment. We rarely think that we are out of time with our friends, so while there is a lot more I wish I could have said to Lindsey, I am glad that more than once I told him what that moment meant to the whole nation and why he was the only Senator who could have done it with such utter perfection. Most importantly, I had the chance to tell him on many occasions what his friendship meant to me and to us all. There was never once a time he didn’t answer a phone call and lend whatever assistance was required. It was never a question with Lindsey. He believed deeply in the code of friendship and loyalty. The fact that Lindsey started out as a political opponent only to become one the President’s most steadfast and faithful supporters underscores that Lindsey believed emphatically in the voice of the people. There is a lot more I would like to say. His passing, at a time when he had never been more dynamic, is as unexpected as it is shocking. In many respects, Lindsey was the last of a breed of American Senator whose like we may not yet see again for a long time. He lived every minute in the arena, a political gladiator to the very last. More than anything now, our thoughts are with his Sister, nieces and loved ones. We pray that God will ease their sorrow and heal their pain. Lindsey can never be replaced and will never be forgotten. Godspeed, my friend.

Senator Lindsey Graham will be remembered for a lifetime of service to America and his unwavering commitment to South Carolina. He was a great American whose patriotism leaves a lasting mark on our nation. Our prayers are with his loved ones during this difficult time.

Former Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) says in an interview this week that his tumors shrunk by 80% thanks to new cancer drug Ben Sasse: “I'm down 99%, in five months, of how much cancer is in my blood.”

Then, Moraff recruited Democrat Dan Osborn in Nebraska, who was caught liking hardcore gay porn while married. These are SICK people!

TERRIFYING: The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have released new policy platforms that include eliminating the U.S. Senate, granting amnesty to all illegal aliens, defunding the Department of Defense, and replacing the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by — and subordinate to — Congress.

If you think DSA isn’t in Nebraska, you’d be wrong!

Graham Platner says Democrat Dan Osborne - running in Nebraska - is "just like" him.
