E-mail from the Nebraska Democratic Party chairwoman. Note toward the end about Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE2, Omaha and South Sioux City). That goes back to the idea I had yesterday of throwing the Democratic Convention in Omaha.

If you missed Gov. Pete Ricketts’ State of the State Address, you didn’t miss much.

Ricketts said nothing bold, said nothing about Trump’s tariffs hurting farmers and said nothing about the unnecessary shutdown hurting government workers.

He did say his proposed budget would fund Medicaid expansion, which was approved by voters because of the efforts by many grassroots Democrats. We are keeping an eye on Ricketts — since he often says one thing and does another.

Meanwhile, Rep. Don Bacon tried to distance himself from all of his previous endorsements of Rep. Steve King of Iowa, who is finally being rebuked for his comments on white nationalism.

Bacon actually thought deleting the old pages on his website of endorsements from King would make the issue go away — but we know the only way we stop this endless and reckless behavior is to elect a strong Democrat to do the work of the people.

For the record—I am NOT related to Don Bacon.
