    The Whig Party fractured and died in the 1850s over slavery. Will the Republican Party fracture and die in the 2020s over democracy?

    Good.

    BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejected the bid by Texas and President Trump to nullify the election results in four pivotal states, delivering what could be the end of his legal drive to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

    Hey Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, Does your baseless lawsuit to invalidate the vote of the people have anything to do with YOU being under investigation by the FBI for alleged bribery and abuse of office? Looking for a pardon? Keep your illegality to yourself.

    It is shameful and embarrassing that Nebraska Attorney General Doug Peterson is supporting a baseless lawsuit to invalidate the vote of the people. How can one claim to care about laws & justice yet echo the same conspiracy nonsense that comes out of the White House?

    The GOP is losing an entire generation of voters right now. Most of the country is watching this and thinking: “What the hell are they talking about?!” But, by all means, keep catering to the Parler and OANN crowd. You’ll never win another national election.

    Mask mandates are proven to SAVE LIVES. Any leader worth his salt should be issuing them if they haven’t already.

    Why do some Republican leaders refuse to issue mask mandates? Because in their warped sense of conservatism, ANY “rule” from the government is Soviet style OPPRESSION! But it’s not. We have LAWS against smoking indoors in service of public health. That is exactly what this is.

    Behind closed doors, many Republican politicians acknowledge that Trump is a conman but DON’T have the courage to say so publicly. “Profiles In Courage” leaders they are not.

    The Republican party is once AGAIN enabling a misguided lame duck president. The country’s welfare, particularly during a pandemic, DEPENDS on a smooth transition of presidential authority. If you are an elected Republican, and you are saying nothing, YOU are part of the problem.

    Sen. John McCollister: "As our population slowly ages, a responsible but more expansive legal immigration policy would, in my opinion, be in the national interest. … Immigration boosts the economy in the U.S. and Nebraska." What's your take?

    The absurdity & weakness of the stole-the-election, conspiracy-theory Rs really has the potential to bring a lot of the Trump-opposed & Trump-weary strands of the GOP together in opposition. If we’re smart, we’ll seize the opportunity & draw a sharp contrast. Speak up!

    "Building another conventional prison in Nebraska is an ill-considered, tax-wasting idea." Here's my letter in the Public Pulse from a few days ago.

    The electors should follow the dictates of the voters and not the other way around. I know you are Trump's propaganda cheerleader but give it a rest. We live in a Democracy.

    REMINDER TO THE REPUBLICAN STATE LEGISLATURES, YOU HAVE THE FINAL SAY OVER THE CHOOSING OF ELECTORS, NOT ANY BOARD OF ELECTIONS, SECRETARY OF STATE, GOVERNOR, OR EVEN COURT. YOU HAVE THE FINAL SAY -- ARTICLE II OF THE FED CONSTITUTION. SO, GET READY TO DO YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY

    It’s ironic to see many in the “America-first” crowd calling to “stop the vote.” What? Voting is the most FOUNDATIONAL part of America. We must count ALL the votes. 🇺🇸
