26 GOP State Senators Endorse Nebraska’s Congressional Delegation After State Party Didn’t

Published by josie@omahadail... on Mon, 02/12/2024 - 7:30am

LINCOLN — Days after the Nebraska Republican Party endorsed none of the state’s five-member, all-GOP congressional delegation — an endorsement none of them sought this year — 26 GOP state senators signed a letter endorsing all five.

“We, State Senators of Nebraska, endorse our current federal incumbents for re-election in 2024,” the letter says. 

The letter thanked U.S. Sens. Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts and U.S. Reps. Mike Flood, Don Bacon and Adrian Smith for taking “commonsense Nebraska values” to Washington, D.C.,  touting their “dedicated conservative leadership.”

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Police officials who responded to the deadly Uvalde, Texas, elementary school shooting waited far too long to confront the gunman, acted with “no urgency” in establishing a command post and communicated inaccurate information to grieving families, according to a Justice Department report released Thursday that identifies “cascading failures” in law enforcement’s handling of the massacre.

In The ‘Big Tent’ Of Free Speech, Can You Be Too Open-Minded?

Published by jason@omahadail... on Mon, 01/22/2024 - 1:00am

People often extol the virtue of open-mindedness, but can there be too much of a good thing?

As a college dean, I regularly observe campus controversies about the Israel-Hamas war, race relations and other hot-button issues. Many of these concern free speech – what students, faculty and invited speakers should and shouldn’t be allowed to say.

Congress Was Full Of Postponements In 2023. Now 2024 Could Be Even Less Productive.

Published by josie@omahadail... on Mon, 01/08/2024 - 5:00am

WASHINGTON — Congress got next to nothing done during the past year and could accomplish even less in 2024 as attention shifts to the November elections.

House Republican and Senate Democratic leaders reached agreement on bills and resolutions they sent to the president’s desk just 34 times during the first year of the 118th Congress — making that session the least productive in decades.
