Jim Knopik has farmed this land for 76 years. When he was five, the little village down the road closed up. The post office. The grocery store. Gone. Now Fullerton and Belgrade are barely hanging on. This is what happens when monopolies hollow out rural America.

I take NO money from Big Pharma and Defense Contractors. Pete Ricketts takes money from both.

Jim Knopik has farmed this land for 76 years and watched the whole system change around him. The lobbyists wrote the rules. The monopolies pocketed the subsidies. And family farmers got the bill. That's what we're fighting to change.

Went on Fox News to talk about what's really happening to Nebraska farmers. Rising fuel. Tariffs jacking up the cost of machinery and supplies. The squeeze is coming from every direction. Less than 2% of our population feeds the other 98%. We better make sure they can stay in business.

Our National debt just hit $39 trillion. We are adding $5 billion a day to the debt. The national debt is now bigger than the entire U.S. economy. We are mortgaging our kids' future so Pete Ricketts and his billionaire friends can pocket another tax break.

The Big Boy, the world's largest and most powerful operating steam locomotive, just passed our Kearney office!

It's like politicians only do things because they get paid. And that's just really sad. Some people say it's the nature of the beast. For me, the beast doesn’t include selling out. I will not bow to any sponsor. Party on. 🤘🎸🌎

The bravest thing a person can do is sign up to defend somebody they've never met. We lost a lot of brave people. Remember them today.

Less than 2% of our population feeds the other 98%. We better make sure they can stay in business.

I've been through the Strait of Hormuz twice. I know what our people are facing over there. They put EVERYTHING on the line for our country and deserve a strategy worthy of their sacrifice.

I want to be a fighter for everyday Nebraskans. We deserve a Senator who can relate to real people.

JUST 4 companies control 85% of beef in the U.S. But non-ranchers may not FULLY understand what this means and why it’s so bad. To help, here are the Top 5 reasons why meatpacking consolidation is bad for ALL Americans.

I'm a lifelong Independent because I've watched both parties sell out the working class and instead do the bidding of their wealthy donors and the corporate elites.

Farm bankruptcies are up 46%. 70% of farmers can't afford the fertilizer they need. Diesel prices are up 60% in a year. Experts say this is the worst farm crisis since the 1980s. This is an emergency and I'm running for the farmers who keep getting left behind.

We marched in the Cinco de Mayo Parade in South Omaha today and had an incredible time. We threw out candy, tiny footballs, shook hands, gave hugs, and made new friends. 106 years of this tradition in South Omaha! This is what community looks like.

Pete Ricketts said marijuana will kill your kids. He said it causes school shootings. He said it will stop America from reindustrializing. Watch this DNN special report for more.

It’s on. It’s a billionaire vs. a mechanic. This race could transform America. We’re winning by 5 in our last poll. Join our movement at osbornforsenate.com

If your elected officials can't relate to the struggles of everyday people, they probably shouldn't be in office.

I want to give a voice to the plumbers, the teachers, the nurses, the carpenters, the bus drivers and the lunch ladies that don’t have a voice in the U.S. Senate.

Pete Ricketts made $10 million in the stock market in April 2025. That works out to $62,500 an hour, $476,190 per day $1,041 per minute $17.36 per second And yet he still thinks billionaires deserve tax cuts and that members of congress should be able to buy and trade stocks.

Yesterday, the DOJ and USDA launched an investigation into the meatpacking monopolies. I've been calling for this since day one. Pete Ricketts took $72,000 from Tyson and told reporters they did nothing wrong. Now he's tweeting about antitrust allegations. Hilarious. Roll the tape.

Watch me do a job interview with the worst person ever and learn how noncompete agreements are trapping 30 million Americans in jobs they can't leave.

The War in Iran has been hard on Nebraska farmers. Went on @newsnation.bsky.social to talk about it.

The major credit card companies are holding Nebraska small businesses hostage. The average household spends nearly $1,200 a year MORE because of credit card swipe fees. Send me to the Senate and I'll break up the duopoly and stand with our small business community.

Today I’m excited to launch the second plank of Osborn's Nebraska Fairness Plan – Protect our Paychecks, Social Security, and Healthcare. That means taking on big fights that will put money back in consumers’ pockets. Raising the cap on Social Security so millionaires pay the same rate as you do.

Letting Medicaid negotiate lower drug prices the same way the VA does. Breaking up healthcare monopolies. Protecting rural hospitals from being gutted to pay for a billionaire tax cut. No cuts to Social Security or Medicare. Ever.

Here are two things you ought to know about Nebraska’s upcoming primary: - Because I’m an Independent, I won’t appear on your primary ballot. I’ll be on your ballot in November. Please don’t waste your vote writing me in!

This week we honor these first first responders for National Telecommunicators Week. Dispatchers read these posts too! If one has ever been there for you, feel free to share it below. :)

Best part about donating to our people-powered campaign: -You get to take on the billionaire class. -If enough people donate, we won’t have to make any more of these [expletive] videos.

I'm tired of billionaires giving themselves massive tax cuts while they waste our money on endless wars then tell us there's not enough left for the Social Security we’ve earned. Read the "Drain the Swamp" pillar of our Nebraska Fairness Plan👇 osbornforsenate.com/fairnessplan

Corporations shouldn’t be able to buy elections. Monopolies shouldn’t be able to rig the economy. Those are the two biggest threats to working people in America right now.

I don't want any billionaire controlling our elections. I'm the only candidate in this race who supports the policies that would stop it.

Today I'm unveiling Osborn’s Nebraska Fairness Plan. Six priorities I would carry to Washington on behalf of every Nebraskan who values hard work.

4 polls in a row. We're tied. A Senate win in Nebraska would be one of the most stunning political upsets in decades. 🇺🇸

NASA is sending four astronauts on a trip around the moon and back. Believe it or not, this is humanity's first voyage toward the moon in over 50 years (the last time was Apollo 17 in 1972)! This just never ceases to amaze me. Human beings are so cool.

My name’s Dan Osborn. I'm a steamfitter from Omaha, Nebraska. I punched a clock in a factory for 20 years. Now I'm running for U.S. Senate against Pete Ricketts, the son of a billionaire who had a Senate seat handed to him and has used it to serve his wealthy friends ever since.

Had a great time at the Holy Name Catholic Church Fish Fry last Friday. They've been doing these for 45 years! One of the best traditions in Nebraska hands down.

I've been a registered Independent from the time I could vote.

It's Friday. You know what that means. Fish Fry Friday! Every Friday during Lent, Nebraskans pack into church basements for fried fish, cold beer, and good company. It's one of the best traditions we've got. See you out there tonight.

The average age of a first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old in this country. We need to step up and give our kids and grandkids a future they can believe in.

Here's Kevin Kenney on the Trent on the Loos Show talking about the monopoly problem in American ag.

Today, I'm in Lexington, NE. We'll be holding a town hall and listening to residents who've been impacted by the Tyson plant closure and now these wildfires.

MAKING HISTORY

Our Constitution was written to give power and self-determination to the people. But robber barons of every generation have chipped away at it, trying to carve it up for themselves. It’s time to take it back.

Had a great time at Wayne State College today talking to students about the issues that matter to them. If you are a Nebraska college student and want to do something similar on your campus, send us a message! We'd love to come out.

I’m a lifelong Independent running for Senate against a billionaire whose family has spent millions bankrolling dark money groups. In Part 2 of Shining a Light on Dark Money, watch as I finish installing this light fixture and explain what it takes to stop the ruling class from buying elections.

Pete Ricketts introducing a congressional stock trading bill is like putting Bernie Madoff in charge of fraud prevention. Here’s why Pete’s bill doesn’t go nearly far enough.

Paycheck populism. I know how much comes in. I know how much goes out. And I know how much harder it's getting. That's what this race is about.

The average first-time homebuyer in America is now 40 years old. Food prices are UP 2.9% from last year and projected to climb another 3.1% in the year ahead. Utility bills jumped more than 6% in January alone. Total household debt is up 4% in a single year. This is why I'm running for Senate.

Talked Data Centers and AI on the Dj Mista Soull Show in Omaha.

Had a great time at the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Omaha yesterday! Thank you to all the volunteers and all the wonderful people we met. Luck of the Irish to all of ya.

Less than 2% of Americans feed the rest of us. Our country is not treating our farmers with respect. Sweeping tariffs have been disastrous to our farmers. We gave Argentina a $40 billion bailout, while our farmers were sitting on mountains of soybeans they couldn't sell.
