Great to meet with over 20 young Nebraskans in D.C. this week as a part of the Nebraska Rural Electric Association’s youth tour. I discussed the work I’m doing in the Senate to serve our great state!

Sustainable Beef is underway, and will process 1,500 head per day at full operation. This important project will create 850 new jobs in the North Platte area. It will add $1 billion to Nebraska’s economy. This project is a big win for our state and beef producers!

I am praying for the safety and security of America’s military personnel in the Middle East. Initial reports are concluding zero casualties as a result of Iran’s missiles targeted at American military. Iran should come to the negotiating table with President Trump to put an end

Thanks to Israel and President Trump’s decisive actions, Iran is reeling. Even if Iran’s nuclear facilities are completely destroyed, we must keep up the pressure to ensure they agree to permanently and verifiably end their nuclear ambitions.

President Trump is the right person to handle Iran right now. They’ve stalled for time during the Obama and Biden administrations. Now President Donald J. Trump is sending a clear message: we’re not going to allow Iran to have an enrichment program.

It is absolutely clear that we cannot allow Iran to have an enrichment program or a nuclear weapon. More from my interview this morning on Varney & Co.:

The Senate Republicans is working to get to 51 votes on reconciliation. But one thing is clear: we must avoid the $4 trillion tax increase on the American people that would come if we do not pass the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Grateful to Rob Jeffreys, Director of the NE Department of Correctional Services for his service to criminal justice in our state. We discussed important measures to improve correctional services, including replacing an old prison with a new one.

Thank you Jennie Bradley Lichter, President of March for Life, for stopping by my D.C. office. This week marks the three-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. That was a historic win for the pro-life movement. The fight for life continues!

Met with Rodney Scott, Trump’s CBP commissioner nominee. If confirmed, Mr. Scott will play a critical role in carrying out President Donald J. Trump’ plans to secure the border. The Senate is working hard to provide funds that will help safeguard our border and support our agents.
