James Talarico: Does your bill replacing counselors with untrained religious chaplains require them to have any training/qualifications?
Republican: No
Talarico: I offered an amendment to require school chaplains to respect freedom of religion, and you refused to accept that?

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

ICE in DC is setting up racially driven checkpoints and roadblocks. This is one on Canal Road. A large number of vehicles can be seen waiting to be towed after these agents disappeared their owners.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

The amount someone earns after completing a professional degree does not accurately portray its total value in our society.
If it was a true reflection of social worth then educators, nurses, and librarians would be paid high six figures.
