Nebraska Data Centers Collected $836 Million in Tax Breaks Under the Law Pete Ricketts Signed. His Own Republican Successor Had to Shut Them Off.
As governor, Pete Ricketts signed the ImagiNE Nebraska Act. Since 2021, data centers have collected an estimated $836 million in tax breaks under Nebraska's incentives — until Gov. Jim Pillen barred new ones in July to 'protect our land and protect our water.' Ricketts has taken money from the companies and owns AI investments.
A Russian-Born Ballroom Donor Got a Fast Pass Around Russia Sanctions and a $201 Million Federal Fund. His Money Also Went to Ten Republicans on This Site.
Konstantin Sokolov gave to Trump's White House ballroom days before his company asked Treasury for a license to get around Russia sanctions. He got it in 10 weeks, used it to buy a copper mine from a sanctioned Russian bank, and was put in charge of $201 million in State Department money. FEC records show he also gave to committees raising money for Susan Collins, Pete Ricketts, Dan Sullivan, Vivek Ramaswamy and six more Republicans on this site.

The Big Beautiful Bill cuts Medicaid by close to $1 trillion over 10 years, and the Congressional Budget Office says the law will leave 10 million more people uninsured. Republicans made sure the biggest cut doesn't start until 2027 — after the midterms. 198 Republicans on this site voted for it.

Chris Smith co-led a 128-Republican letter — signed by 103 Republicans on this site — asking HHS's inspector general to investigate Planned Parenthood. It describes an SBA eligibility review of pandemic loans as a probe into whether affiliates 'illegally received $88 million' — months after the last attack on Planned Parenthood's funding closed nearly 30 clinics.
Republicans Tied a Weak Stock Trading Ban to a Voter ID Law. It Failed. One Republican Says That Was the Plan.
86% of Americans want members of Congress to stop trading stocks. Republicans glued the ban to a strict voter ID law, so it died in the Senate 53–47 on September 30. Fifteen Republican senators on this site voted to advance the package, and many of them have stock trading problems of their own.

Jim Pillen Rushed to Make Nebraska the First State With Medicaid Work Requirements. In Four Months, Over 1,000 People Lost or Were Denied Coverage — Mostly Over Paperwork.
