I was proud to cast my vote this morning for the Nebraska I know we can be.
One where hardworking Nebraskans get a fair shot, our small towns get their turn, and nobody has to wonder where their tax dollars went.
Polls are open all day, Nebraska. I'd be honored to earn your vote.

My dad taught me to love God, love your family, and love your neighbor. Period. Not just if they look like you, pray like you, or vote like you.
That’s how I was raised, and it’s how I’ll govern. Here’s why I’m asking Nebraskans of every party for their vote: omaha.com/opinion/column/art…

the 4th quarter is so unnecessary in football
it’s just bonus minutes for the inferior team to make up ground
like extra credit in junior high
sad to win like that honestly

Today, we honor the service of Corporal Niels Iver Qvistgaard, who joined the U.S. Marine Corps to fight for the United States in Korea while still a Danish citizen. He made the ultimate sacrifice 74 years ago, today, and we shall not forget him.

$40 trillion in debt; Missle defense capabilities depleted; oil reserves depleted; the bond market, it's complicated.
Hey, let's rename another body of water.
David Hendee retweeted
Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ».
Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique.
Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes.
Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.

Retirement is a richly-earned milestone for a colleague and friend to all who’s been with the OWH nearly 40 years.
And yet the news is bittersweet because you can’t ask for a better journalist, newsroom presence, advice-giver, teammate and person than Mike Patterson.
#nebpreps Life update here … I’m planning to retire this summer (mid-July or so). Thanks to all of the coaches, athletic directors, players and fans I’ve crossed paths with in my 38 (!) years at The World-Herald. It’s been my honor. 😀

Extreme drought in much of Nebraska is resulting in low water levels, as seen here in the Platte River near Venice after the state's warmest winter since the Dust Bowl.

My thoughts and prayers go out to landowner friends, firefighters and those assisting with the battle to contain the large-scale wildfires in central and western Nebraska. Here is a way to show your support. Thank you Christy Firestone for the info.

It’s an under appreciated fact that the tallest office building outside NYC currently under construction in the US is in Omaha, NE
Here’s what "The Duo" looks like from the 44th floor of the new Mutual of Omaha tower. NuStyle Development is converting the old Central Park Plaza twin towers into The Duo, which will have 700+ apartments with street-level retail. The Duo is just west of Mutual’s future headquarters.

Obituaries for prominent figures are prepared years in advance and in Robert Duvall’s case, was written by a writer who himself died 14 years ago. AP gave him credit - rightfully- in the obit

Has the head of NE Farm

Back when she was in high school, Danish PM @statsmin Mette Frederiksen stood up to a bully. Now she's still doing it, and for now she appears to have outmaneuvered Trump. Lots of respect for Danes. nytimes.com/2026/01/25/world…
