My colleagues and I on the Senate Agriculture Committee have already begun working on the 2023 Farm Bill, a package of critical agriculture legislation passed only once every five years. Those of us on the Agriculture Committee often agree on many aspects of the Farm Bill, and one of the most popular solutions we hope […]

Any day now, an immigration provision called Title 42 could expire. Title 42 is a public health order that gives the federal government the ability to immediately expel individuals entering the country illegally.

A suicide bombing at the Kabul airport killed […]

We all know that this year has been tough, with the greatest pandemic in over a century, and while the measures we have taken to contain it have been necessary to protect public health, they have also come at a cost. Despite our best efforts, Nebraska has lost more than 700 dearly loved friends and […]

 Nebraska is an agricultural state, and we should be proud of that fact. One in four Nebraska jobs is tied to production agriculture, and our livestock industry alone is worth more than $12 billion each year. While this means that Nebraskans can depend on thousands of good-paying agriculture jobs and a consistently low unemployment rate, […]

Her father didn’t approve of her ambition to receive a college degree, but Elizebeth Smith Friedman defied him anyway. She vowed to pave her own path. In between her rigorous studies on Shakespeare and classical literature, Elizebeth worked as a seamstress to earn money to pay for tuition. During a course in philosophy she found […]
