State Officials Demand Transparency As Businesses Get Billions In Trump Tariff Refunds

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Tue, 05/19/2026 - 12:00am

The fiscal leaders of several states are demanding transparency and consumer fairness as President Donald Trump’s administration seeks to refund billions in international tariffs following a recent Supreme Court loss. 

In a February decision, the high court dealt a blow to the president’s trade agenda, ruling by a 6-3 margin that the tariffs he issued under the International Economic Emergency Powers Act were illegal.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Lawyers for Elon Musk and OpenAI made their final arguments Thursday in the landmark trial whose outcome could shape the future of artificial intelligence.

Musk, the world's richest man, was a co-founder of OpenAI, which started in 2015 and went on to create ChatGPT. His lawsuit filed in 2024 accuses OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and his top deputy of betraying a plan to keep it as a nonprofit and shifting into a moneymaking mode behind his back.

LINCOLN — Some U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers could be relocated to Nebraska under a plan to close a Washington D.C.-area research facility.

Nebraska researchers say more USDA personnel could benefit the state’s research efforts, but with few details shared about the project or staff movement, how much help they’ll get is unclear.

In July 2025, the USDA announced it would close the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) in Maryland as part of a department “reorganization” effort.

OPINION: The Workforce Behind The Workforce Deserves More Than Our Thanks

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Tue, 05/12/2026 - 12:00am

On May 8, Nebraskans celebrated Provider Appreciation Day, a moment to say thank you to the childcare professionals who make many of our daily lives possible. But gratitude alone is not enough. If we are serious about Nebraska’s economic future, we need to recognize childcare providers for who they truly are: critical economic infrastructure.

 Because childcare is everyone’s business.

‘Growth Hurts’: Restaurants On Omaha Streetcar Route Fall Behind During Construction, New Data Shows

The local business owners flanking Mayor John Ewing on the patio of Smokin’ Oak Wood-Fired Pizza smiled and clapped as he trumpeted progress on the Omaha streetcar line to TV cameras and a crowd of dignitaries. 

When the speeches finished, party guests picked up colored markers and ceremonially signed their names on a segment of steel rail to be placed in the ground. 

But the celebratory mood at the photo op did little to distract its host from the problem facing his restaurant: Smokin’ Oak isn’t selling enough pizza.

The SBH Review: Omaha’s Crafted Ramen MiSoLaDo Transports Diners On Joyful Journey To Japan

Something magical happens when a restaurant can transport a diner to a completely different place. It’s tough to get right. When it works, you can feel it.

That’s the case at Crafted Ramen Misolado, which took over the former Sakura Bana space off 74th and Dodge streets. Its goal? Send diners on a 17-hour flight to Japan. 

Though an actual trip to Japan is still on my shortlist, the restaurant seems to do the next best thing: Fun imported snacks and candy, Japanese toys and collectibles, a wide variety of imported drinks of all kinds and, obviously, really tasty ramen.

OPINION: America Doesn’t Depend On The Strait Of Hormuz — But Rural Alaska Does

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Tue, 05/05/2026 - 12:00am

All over the world, nations are grappling with the ripple effects of the war in Iran and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for the global oil market. In the United States, however, President Donald Trump has emphasized that the country imports little oil through the strait, arguing that it “doesn’t need it.”

Gov. Jim Pillen Completes Two-Day London Trip To Promote Nebraska Beef, Ethanol

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Tue, 05/05/2026 - 12:00am

LINCOLN — Gov. Jim Pillen is wrapped up a two-day trip to London last week to tout Nebraska’s beef and ethanol production, and talk about energy opportunities with international officials.

“Given the recent trade framework that exists between the U.S. and the U.K. and the favorable conditions for exporting more beef, ethanol and other American products, this is a good time to build relationships and understand better how Nebraska can play a role in meeting the short and long-term needs of that nation,” Pillen said in a press release.

Perseverance Doesn’t Always Pay Off For Companies – Sometimes It’s Better To ‘Fail Fast’

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Tue, 05/05/2026 - 12:00am

Across the business world, companies often double down on struggling ideas, retreating only after clear evidence shows they won’t work.

A recent spectacular example was Meta’s metaverse push. After the organization invested US$80 billion over several years, it announced changes in March 2026 that all but abandoned its grand strategy.

Bessent Wants Americans To Avoid Easy-Money Traps And Invest In Financial Literacy

Published by maggie@omahadai... on Tue, 05/05/2026 - 12:00am

WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent winces at the allure of easy money — whether it’s lottery tickets, buy now, pay later loans or the promise of a crypto windfall — warning that the get-rich-quick mindset often leads Americans farther from financial stability, not closer to it.

“There are a lot of young people, mostly young men, going to blue-collar construction jobs, playing the lottery. It drives me crazy,” Bessent said in an interview.

”The best thing you can do is not play the lottery," he said — rather, people should invest and “then watch it grow.”
