    Gov. Jim Pillen has asked the U.S. agriculture secretary to "ensure Nebraska cattle producers will receive the maximum payment from the Livestock Indemnity Program for losses they incurred during the heat wave."

      A couple of thoughts about the way our government and the Department of Justice are responding to Donald Trump. Whether you support Donald Trump or not, this is not the way a democracy should respond to the threat it believes Donald Trump to be.

        Ever since Joe Biden announced his run for the White House, the media has been asking about his involvement in his son’s business dealings with foreign countries.

          The Aug. 7 Journal Star front page contains an article where Sen. Pete Ricketts states he is trying to "help restore integrity to the justice system," as countless Nebraskans are concerned about weaponizing the justice system ("Ricketts calls for attorney probe").

            As a mom and grandmother, I know how important it is that new moms have access to care after their child is born. With the passage of LB227, approved by the Legislature and signed into law by Gov. Jim Pillen, the Nebraska Medicaid Department now has a terrific opportunity to help moms enroll…

              The time has come to replace Kevin with Charlie McCarthy. True, Edgar Bergen’s dummy had wood between his ears but not as much as Kevin. What’s more, Charlie always made sense, even within his nonsense.

              Recently, my husband travelled to Nashville, Tennessee, on Red Way airline, our family's first time using the airline. We were highly skeptical. Having horrible experiences with other low-fare airlines, I prepared for unexpected high fees when buying the tickets. I was surprised to find that…

              The Journal Star reported the proceedings of the July 18 Lancaster County Board meeting, specifically regarding people from a group identified as the Nebraska Voter Accuracy Project. This group has approached the board over the past few meetings raising questions about the legitimacy of past…

              First Amendment rights are paramount to our free society, but so are the guardrails that protect us against misinformation, conspiracy theories and lies. Artificial intelligence — AI — is absolutely astoundingly amazing technology, but if it is used for nefarious reasons, in the wrong hands,…

              Getting more uncomfortable and more anxious as temperatures continue to break records and impacts of climate change bombard our country and world? The situation is dire but not hopeless if we act now. Here are things we all need to do starting today:

              The new concealed carry law passed by the last session of the Nebraska Legislature is bad legislation in many respects. Sen. Tom Brewer has created a trap for the unwary by pushing concealed carry for Nebraskans.

              The Nebraska teachers union is trying to take away scholarships for low-income Nebraska students. That's what the petition to repeal the Opportunity Scholarship Act does. The petition misrepresents the scholarship act and will take away school choice for low-income Nebraska students.

              It seems that Gov. Jim Pillen thinks it is all right for everyone to carry a concealed weapon. Perhaps he misses the days when we watch shows like "Bonanza" and "Gunsmoke" and wants to return to the Wild West.

              Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers seeks to block a proposed federal rule that prevents state officials from obtaining private health information about Nebraska residents who have abortions in other states.

              A young woman in Norfolk was just jailed for 90 days for performing an abortion on herself. I hope nobody was fooled by the charge of "improper disposal of human remains." Nebraska is still ashamed to admit it is imprisoning women for having abortions.

              As we arrive at the anniversaries of Social Security and Medicare, it is interesting to note the voting records of our representatives in the House and our senators in the Senate.

              Can someone please explain to me why Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers wants to change the HIPAA patient privacy rules so he can obtain private health information on residents who have abortions or gender-affirming care in other states? Why does the government feel they need to keep tra…
