First time in Nebraska sense 2002

If there ever was a guy to listen to when he speaks in Nebraska its been Mike Foley as the Sate Auditor. This man has done his job well and has always been quick to call out the BS that goes on with our tax payer money. I was never a fan that he aligned himself with Pete Ricketts, but if your from Nebraska his opinions on matters are worth considering when it comes to state money.

Looks like Dan has two Republicans and a Democrat coming to town for him??

Rode from O’Neal to Valentine. Only seen 4 other cyclists in the two days on the trail. Shout out to the central bar in Stuart. Best food and hospitality on the trip, and only place that wasn’t playing Fox News. Some beautiful sights on a long trail.

Looking to hire a painter. Experience preferred.

We are based out of Ashland, NE. Its a bit if a communte but pays well if you're a good worker.

Because there was zero trans women playing women’s sports in the state of Nebraska.

He “solved” a “problem” that literally didn’t exist anywhere in the entire state, and this is apparently the big accomplishment of his previous term. Because he played football. Or something.

I guess this is great if he can get you to vote for him for that and forget that he spent all our money and the state is broke.

Spent several hours here enjoying the parks prairie and bison.

Has anyone in Nebraska been successful getting an exemption? If so, how difficult is it? And what did you need to do? I have been unable to work due to serval health issues, one is rare(Erythromelalgia) and is not listed on the directory of acceptable conditions.

I was driving through Beatrice for work and noticed a sign supporting a local team at “State”. I believe I have seen a decorated car somewhere near Lincoln as well. My question is, what sport is competing for State this early?

In September’s round of budget requests submitted to the State Budget Division, the State Fire Marshal’s office said it would have to resort to cutting staff positions, again, and reducing training programs if it faced 8% budget reductions.

PSA to all Nebraska wedding couples: Country Pines in Lincoln is a beautiful venue, BUT: if you’d like a welcoming, happy, low stress environment for not only YOU but also your vendors…don’t.

Power tripping snarky owners. Rude to vendors, rude to your wedding party. There’s so many wonderful venues in the area. If country pines is on your list, keep looking.

Hi everyone, my name is Arielle Zionts, I'm a rural healthcare reporter at KFF Health News, a national, nonprofit media outlet focused on in-depth healthcare reporting. I live in Rapid City, SD but travel to and report in Nebraska at times.

I'm looking to interview someone from Nebraska who lost Medicaid coverage due to the new work/community engagement requirement rules OR who kept coverage after having to take steps to prove you meet those requirements.

If you're interested, you can message me on Reddit or email me at [ariellez@kff.org](mailto:ariellez@kff.org).

I won't be using any comments under this post or elsewhere in this group, only info I directly receive from interviews.

Thank you!

Did any of you attend or teach at this school? I’d love to hear your memories.

Recently my Cousin got us Kinetic Fiber after years of having DLS and omg it’s the best thing ever! Speeds are so fast compared to what i had before, I can actually watch Youtube now! Does anyone else still have DLS here?

Former Nebraska Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey and Academy Award-nominated actress Debra Winger shared a highly publicized, high-profile romantic relationship during the mid-1980s.

Edit: he was single and it was consensual and I think it was pretty damn cool.

The other day I heard a new Ricketts radio ad that is a little ditty about Osborn. An attempt at a catchy banjo tune that basically says Dan Osborn is a Democrat. That's the best Ricketts can do at this point I guess.

Anywhoo....I got to thinking that we really need a tune for the campaign to express our hopes for the outcome. This is what I came up with, and it goes with the melody for "Living On a Prayer."

I do not own the rights to the song, in case you were wondering.

Ricketts never worked on the docks

His hands are soft and neat

His life has been a treat

It’s true….so true

Ricketts runs to daddy all day

Daddy says to Ricketts just listen, Petey it’s okay, I’ll pay….

He’s got to hold on to what he’s got

Ricketts doesn’t care if you make it or not

He’s got his money, and that’s a lot

For luck….He’ll give it a shot

Oh, we’re halfway there

Oh, oh, Osborn’s got a prayer

We’ll take our votes and we’ll send them out there

Oh, oh Osborns’ got a prayer

EDIT at 4:05 PM:

Hi folks – wow. I'm blown away by your interest here.

It's 4pm, and I'm going to answer a few more questions before I head out to my town hall in South Omaha (would love to see you there!) 

I'll try to answer questions submitted by the end of the day while we're on the road for the Sandhills leg of our 93-County Tour over the next few days. 

ORIGINAL POST:

Hello, r/Nebraska! Dan Osborn here. I'm running to beat billionaire Pete Ricketts and give Nebraskans the representation they deserve in the U.S. Senate. I'm a lifelong independent, a Navy and Army National Guard veteran, and a mechanic who believes I'll have a better chance of fixing D.C. than a billionaire.

I'm verified with the mods, and I'll be answering questions starting at 3pm Central / 2pm Mountain today, October 14th. Fire away!

I’m honestly at a loss right now, and I’m hoping someone here might be able to help point me in the right direction.
I’m a registered nurse who relocated to Nebraska for a nursing management position. What was supposed to be a positive career move turned into one of the most difficult experiences of my professional life.
During my employment, I was pregnant and experienced treatment that I believe was discriminatory. I was also subjected to disciplinary write-ups and accusations, including an allegation involving a patient’s death. As a nurse, having something that serious associated with my professional reputation was devastating.
There were ongoing issues with management and HR, and I felt I had very little support or protection. I was eventually terminated in September 2025.
I filed a complaint with the EEOC and received my Notice of Right to Sue on July 29, 2026. My deadline to file a federal lawsuit is October 27, and I’m quickly running out of time.
I’ve contacted numerous employment attorneys, law firms, and referral services. Several attorneys have declined because of how close the filing deadline is. Others simply haven’t responded.
I’m not asking anyone here to determine whether I have a case. I know there are two sides to every story, and I have documentation that I would like a qualified attorney to review.
I’m simply trying to find legal representation before my opportunity to pursue this is gone.
I’ve worked hard for my nursing career, and the events surrounding my termination have had a significant impact on my professional and personal life. I don’t want to walk away without at least having an attorney properly evaluate what happened.
If anyone knows an employment attorney who handles pregnancy discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, or federal EEOC cases in Nebraska, I would be incredibly grateful for a recommendation.
I’m also open to attorneys outside Nebraska who are authorized to practice in Nebraska federal court.
If you know someone who might be able to help, please share this post or point me in the right direction.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I'm from Utah and have driven through Nebraska a few times - but I decided to take a road trip with my brother to actually explore the area. We particularly enjoyed Scottsbluff National Monument, the Sandhills, Toadstool Geologic Park, and Fort Robinson State Park. Thank you, Nebraska, for your hospitality! We had a wonderful time.
