Right to Repair is simple: if you own something, you should be able to fix it or take it to a technician you trust. But for decades, big corporations have chipped away at this right by making repairs difficult, expensive, or even impossible. We need Right To Repair. When I’m in the U.S. Senate, I’ll cosponsor legislation to get it done.

I wish you nothing but luck. Everyone needs a great mechanic. No one needs an entitled billionaire.

Today we submitted our signatures to get on the ballot this November. A candidate must submit 4,000 signatures to qualify. We turned in more than 12,700. See you in November, Pete.

I'm proud NOT to be a Democrat. I'm proud to NOT be a Republican. I'm proud to be a lifelong Independent and want to help this country break out of our two-party doom loop.

Hosted a small business roundtable today in Dundee to hear about the challenges our small business owners are facing. It's time to fight for them the way Washington always fights for the big guys.

Imagine your loved one grabbed their chest. You get them in your car and rush to the hospital. But the hospital 12 minutes away CLOSED last year. The next one is 47 mins away. This is what Pete Ricketts voted for.

Ricketts voted to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid so he could give himself and his billionaire friends a tax cut. Rural Nebraska hospitals can't survive that. And he knew it. Read my plan to protect rural hospitals at osbornforsenate.com/fairness…

🌽 Our struggling farm economy deserves more attention. Farm debt is at a historic high and Nebraska farmers have spent half a decade operating at a loss. This is a dangerous economic situation in our state where the health of the ag economy directly impacts main street businesses. Meaningful policy solutions are urgently necessary to address this modern farm crisis.

Government "of the people, by the people, for the people." That's what Lincoln said. That's what I'm fighting for. Not government for billionaires and corporations.

I'm at the Cattlemen's Ball in Cozad, NE and I'm having a great time. This is such a great event every year, the food is amazing, and all the proceeds go to cancer research. If you've never made it out, you need to put it on your bucket list!

Private equity is buying up: Single family homes American Farmland Veterinary Clinics Congress needs to set limits on what investment funds are allowed to buy. At some point we have to decide who this country actually belongs to.

At the bar in Kearney and saw this sign. Passing the Credit Card Competition Act would introduce competition into the Visa/Mastercard duopoly, bringing down prices for small business owners AND consumers! The bill has strong bipartisan support, including President Trump! Let’s get it done!

I’m 52 and enjoying a weekend out on medical tourism for my health. It’s a damn shame that not only do Americans pay absurd amounts for health insurance and healthcare, we also don’t have access to incredible treatments at home. More to come on this.

You can't take money from the fertilizer cartel and fight the fertilizer cartel. Ricketts takes their money. I don’t.

Four companies control most of the fertilizer market in America. They own the mines. They own the processing plants. They control the distribution network. No competition can get in. Fertilizer prices up 150% since 2020. Farm bankruptcies up 46%. The U.S. lost 94,000 farms between 2021 and 2025. This isn't the free market. It's a cartel. Last week the FTC launched a historic investigation. Farmers from 18 states showed up in Texas to demand action. And Nebraska should be leading that fight. During the worst fertilizer price crisis in a generation, Pete Ricketts was governor of one of the top agricultural states in the country and did absolutely nothing to protect Nebraska farmers from price gouging. And if that wasn't bad enough, Ricketts has taken PAC money from the very fertilizer companies gouging Nebraska farmers! That money buys silence. And silence is exactly what Nebraska farmers have been getting. Ricketts stands with the fertilizer monopolies. I stand with farmers.

The Senate is a country club of millionaires that work for billionaires. We deserve representation from people that can relate to us.

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.

The Knopiks have worked this land for four generations. The monopolies have been trying to squeeze them out for decades. They're still standing.
