5th generation Nebraskan | Dad to 3 amazing kids | Husband | Running for Congress in #NE01

ปักหมุด

I’m a fifth-generation Nebraskan and lifelong public servant. For 20 years, I served in national security under both Democrats and Republicans. Now, I’m running for Congress. Nebraskans work hard and look out for each other. It’s time Washington did the same.#NE01

For the third straight season, Nebraska has won at least a share of the Big Ten championship after sweeping Iowa on Thursday. journalstar.com/sports/huskers…


Over here waiting for @USRepMikeFlood and Nebraska’s delegation to condemn this…

Trump shared a call to ‘hang’ Democratic lawmakers. In a Truth Social posting spree, Trump said Democrats urging service members to obey the Constitution is ‘SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!’ nymag.com/intelligencer/…



President Trump— and the Washington Republicans who enable him— are failing Nebraska's families.

U.S. grocery prices hit record high as monthly cost for a family of four reaches $1,030



Finally. The victims deserve justice. To be clear, the only reason the majority of House Republicans, including Mike Flood, voted for this bill was because Trump gave them cover. They had months to do the right thing and it's a shame it took as long as it did.

Breaking News: The House overwhelmingly voted to demand that the Justice Department release all files related to its investigation into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. nyti.ms/4r8qT5x



If Flood was a "yes two months ago", this would have been voted on in September. They only needed 1 more Republican to sign it. Nice spin, though.

Nebraska Rep. Mike Flood told NOTUS that he was a “yes two months ago” on releasing the Epstein Files. He criticized the bill that he's going to vote for in September, saying it was “written in a sloppy way” and “all-out reckless” to CNN.

Something tells me Trump has never had to negotiate with an insurance company

Vouchers don’t work when cancer treatment costs $200,000 a year. Trump’s plan only works for people who never get sick. No family can negotiate chemo or surgery bills. Trump’s plan collapses the moment real illness enters the story.

Profile in courage!!!

Today, the U.S. House will vote on a bill to release the Jeffrey Epstein files Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon has signaled he will vote for it. Rep. Mike Flood and Adrian Smith haven't, but it's unlikely they won't vote for it, especially given Trump's abrupt reversal on it.



Now that the president has given him cover, surely now we'll hear how @USRepMikeFlood plans to vote on the bill to release the Epstein files, right?

They’re now blaming… immigrant cows? I swear these guys wake up, spin a wheel of conspiracy theories, and just roll with whatever it lands on.

Scott Bessent says the reason beef prices are so high is because immigrants from South America are bringing their cattle with them as they come here and they are infected with diseases. What a weird take!



You don’t get credit for putting out the fire you started in the first place

Bessent: "Not only will the tariffs come off some of the things you just listed -- coffee, cocoa, bananas -- that's a result of the trade deals going through, and then we will see this go down."

Goodnight. 😴

A corporate-funded White House ballroom isn’t right. Dragging kids out of bed and deporting people without due process isn’t right. Bailing out other countries on taxpayers’ backs isn’t right. Delaying justice for Epstein victims isn’t right. Right vs. wrong shouldn’t be up…


Thank you for your support!

Great to see yet another longtime public servant ready to serve in a new way. I worked closely with @chrisbackemeyer for years and know he’d bring extraordinary decency, patriotism, and deep experience to Congress.



If they really wanted to distance themselves they should have voted against the bill. 8 senators could receive $1M each. When they tell you there's no money for health care tax credits or anything else that helps working families, remember this.   What a gross abuse of power.

After a bipartisan backlash, Republican senators are distancing themselves from a provision tucked inside the CR/minibus allowing 8 of them to sue for $500K in taxpayer-funded payments for each "instance" where their data was accessed in the Jan. 6 probe. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…

GOP senators distance themselves from provision allowing them to sue over phone record searches

The senators’ comments came after House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would hold a vote on the House floor to repeal the provision inserted by his Senate counterparts.
