Here today at the #Omaha meeting of the @NDE_News board picking a new state commissioner of education. Will try to tweet a bit. 
Patti Gubbels, board chair: Thanks board, staff and McPherson and Jacobsen, former LPS Superintendent Steve Joel's consulting group. Brought to us outstanding candidates. Led us through those opportunities. (These are paraphrases unless direct quoted.)
Gubbels: Thanks to stakeholders who gave input through the online portal. And ed partners who participated on interview panel.

The dangerous & unhinged extremists in the Protect Nebraska Children group are back on their bullshit -- this time accusing State Board of Education member @Educ8Nebraska Deb Neary of being a "pedophile" and a "groomer."

Completely baseless lies like this have already led to violence across the nation, and contributed to the death of Nebraska's own Milo Winslow this year.

You know it’ll be worth a click when hammering Hank gets excited.
There it is, @mutualofomaha is headed to the site of the current downtown library in #Omaha.

Why is Nebraska’s @nfmtweets smaller than some in other states? Might the store move to find more room?

I’m going to selfishly share my first story for @NE_Examiner, from yesterday’s hearing on #Nebraska’s lawsuit against #Omaha about the health director’s mask mandate.
This story will update when the judge rules, likely by lunch today.

Covering the mask mandate lawsuit today in #Omaha for @NE_Examiner. A handful of protesters gathered outside.
There are likely to be no lawyers in the courtroom, other than the judge. We aren’t allowed to live-tweet. But I’ll take some notes and share later.
I’m hiding in the corner for a bit.

Monthly pulse of resale housing market still rapid according to 4,500 agents we just surveyed. Top 3 themes: 1) Bit of market normalizing. 2) Skittish sellers fearing nowhere to move. 3) End of travel ban boosting international buyers. Commentary across the country to follow…
#Houston resale agent: “A lot of people are not listing because they don't know where they are going next. Seems that many people listed too high even for a sellers' market, so I am seeing more price reductions now than earlier in the year.”
#Orlando resale agent: “Our buyer pool is increasing. We see more buyers from the north connecting with us as they plan to visit the area from the fourth quarter to the first quarter of next year.”
#TalDiaComoHoy en el marco de la #SegundaGuerraMundial, se cumplen 77 años del #DesembarcodeNormandía, conocido popularmente como el #DíaD.
La operación fue efectuada por los Aliados que culminó con la liberación de los territorios de Europea occidental ocupados por la #Alemanianazi. Un asalto aerotransportado llevado a cabo por 1.200 aeronaves precedió al desembarco anfibio, que involucró a 5.000 barcos.
El 6 de junio, 165.000 soldados cruzaron el #CanaldelaMancha de #Inglaterra a #Francia y hacia finales de agosto las tropas aliadas en suelo francés eran más de 3.000.000.

A look inside the venue.
#Omaha’s @jeanformayor is picking up the expected endorsement today of the @omahaPOA, the union that represents the city’s 800-plus police officers.
The news is the timing. The endorsement comes before the April 6 city primary, which is being contested by a number of candidates.
The news is the timing. The endorsement comes before the April 6 city primary, which is being contested by a number of candidates.
The union’s leader, Sgt. Anthony Conner, confirms that the union stayed neutral in 2017’s race between Stothert and Democrat Heath Mello.
They endorsed former Mayor Jim Suttle in 2013. Police unions nationally have started floating toward Republicans on the top of the ticket.

Typically, the two biggest union endorsements in city elections are the unions that represent Omaha police officers and firefighters. Stothert has clashed with both unions at times, often about retirement costs. But she’s grown the OPD, adding officers and a fifth police precinct
Time for a very short story !!
Once a 14 year old kid, who used to deliver newspapers, told his family friend that if he doesn't become a millionaire by the age of 30, he'll jump of the tallest building of his city !
Sadly, he didn't become a millionaire by 30 ! 😔

Warren Edward Buffett, also known as the "Oracle of Omaha" is the 4th richest man in the world as I'm writing this.
Born in 1930, in Omaha, USA, he went from being a newspaper delivery boy to the owner of Berkshire Hathaway, a $526 B conglomerate !

Just when you thought you’d had enough of elections, #Omaha city elections would like a word.
Spending part of the afternoon with @jeanformayor, who is formally announcing her run for mayor.
I’ll try to tweet some of what she says.

Campaign staff say she will start speaking around 2:30 p.m.
She’s expected to stress themes that include growing the police department, passage of the bond package to improve streets, the new trash and recycling contract, improving the city’s amenities and environment for attracting and retaining young professionals and talent.
The first #Election2020 polls close in a few minutes, so here's my official electoral map prediction.
Let's see how I do...
Let's see how I do...
Arizona looks good!
North Carolina is a nail-bitter.
I know Bluer-votes in rust belt will be delayed... but their early returns are no less stressful.
Florida looks to be a 5+ point swing in Trump's favor 😰
Pleased my state is holding Blue.

#ElectionNight
Thousands of people left out in the cold and stranded in #Omaha, #Nebraska after a #Trump rally. I’m told the shuttles aren’t operating & there aren’t enough busses. Police didn’t seem to know what to do. Some walked. I saw at least one woman getting medical attention.
The above video & this one were taken around 10:15pm. The #Trump rally ended around 8:45pm. Some just gave up and walked from the airfield, back to wherever they parked. It was about 32° out at the time. Many had already spent hours outside as they waited for POTUS to arrive.
And of note, most of these people had to get there well ahead of time for security reasons. There was a line for the shuttle to the rally, standing on the concrete for hours, no buildings to block the wind. Then a few more hours to get back to their cars.
We're having some technical difficulties with cell signal and wi-fi. Working on it.
Here’s a closer look.
Spending the lunch hour today on the trail in central-west #Omaha with @LaraLeaTrump and @TrumpVictoryNE in #Ne02.
I’ll tweet a bit of what I hear.

#Nebraska GOP chairman Dan Welch: It's great to be here with @donjbacon and @laraleatrump. Need to educate Nebraska voters that this race is about the future of our country. If we do that, Nebraska will deliver five electoral votes to the president and put Bacon back in Congress.
Welch: He's going to beat @karaforcongress for the second time.
Bacon: 12 days till the election. A very decisive election for our country. Think about what we've done over the last four years. This district is pivotal. Two scenarios where this is the tie-breaking vote.

He’ll be joining a voter voting early at the Ames library drop box, then heading to a drive-in rally near 24th and Lake.

Crowd starting to line up in NW Omaha (might actually be just outside city limits) for @DonaldJTrumpJr, @GovRicketts, @DonJBacon event.
Organizers say they have room for up to 500 people. Event is supposed to start around 5:30 p.m.
