Leavenworth Street -- the talk of Nebraska politics
OMG. @Creighton won the natty in…Quidditch (aka Quadball)???
Here's EVEN MORE of our non-NCAA national champions for 2024/2025! We have Adaptive Tennis, Judo, Landscape, Model UN, Spikeball, Squash, Weather Forecasting and more!
Benefit to @JohnCavanaughNE (in the Dem primary), but I’m open to other arguments #NE02
Crystal Rhoades jumps into crowded Nebraska 2nd District field Now, six Democrats are campaigning to be the nominee to be in a position of being the first Democrat to represent the state in about a decade. My latest @NE_Examiner nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/07/21/dou…
Good analysis from @scottlincicome (paywalled, but I think there’s a free week option, or somesuch) thedispatch.com/newsletter/cap… Zohran Mamdani's Bad Plan for Government Grocery Stores - The Dispatch
I’m proud to announce that I’m running for Congress in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. This is my home. I’ve fought for our values in the Legislature, and I’m ready to do the same in Washington. It’s time to cut taxes, secure our border, and put our families first.…
“@RepDonBacon ranks in the 97th %ile of GOP House members for signing onto bipartisan legislation & the 95th %ile for getting bipartisan support for his own bills & as one of the most effective at getting his legislation passed into law.” thedispatch.com/article/thom-t…
“America Party” is the “CyberTruck” of party names…
If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.
Thank you for all of your service and best wishes to @RepDonBacon / @DonJBacon and family! Still one of my favorite pics (2016):

I think we should have known @DonJBacon was retiring when he decided, “Screw it. I’m growing out the mustache.”

This statement from @JohnCavanaughNE re @RepDonBacon’s retirement has the attention span of a Trump Truth. He veers away from Bacon so quickly I half expected him to start swearing at John McCain and praising his “Big Beautiful District.”

Also, the @NE_Examiner sneakily suggested, “a state officeholder on the Republican side”, as another #NEGOP candidate for #NE02 nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/06/27/neb…
Former Creighton women’s hoops star Emma Ronsiek was at Ryan Kalkbrenner’s private draft party. She captured the moment he heard his name called, including the reaction of Ryan, his wife Rachael, and baby on the way when they learned of the next place they’ll be calling home.
After digging into more details around Omaha’s streetcar, Mayor John Ewing said Friday that he’s gone from seeing the route as “a pretty good project to something that could do great things for Omaha.” From @JulieAnderson41: omaha.com/news/local/gov…
Hmm. ...Same
My sources tell me @RepDonBacon will announce he is NOT seeking re-election. Omaha City Coucilman @BrinkerHarding will jump in. Former State Sen Brett Lindstrom is likely to follow @NEGOP
OK, @LeavenworthSt peeps! Who's up for some #NE02 GOP candidate rumors! Let's hear it from you!
