🚨Now at the Nebraska State Capitol 🚨
Debate on 574 is underway, well ahead of schedule!!

Senator @George4NE on the mic now, and even as lawyers go, using some of the most hyperbolic language we've heard this legislative session 🤡 We're curious, George, is your practice of law… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

We will be keeping you updated minute to minute as things proceed this afternoon.

Now on the floor, @JustinTWayne and Speaker Arch having discussions with the Clerk of the legislature and Lt. Governor Joe Kelly. The conversation is intense, as Wayne has motioned to recommit the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@JustinTWayne is now attempting to overrule the chair, reading off from Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure.
Seen again as a way to consume time, and a way to vent frustration on the rules passed earlier in the session.
Wayne has come with some energy this afternoon, but we… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Disruption in the Rotunda!!
Protestors have begun chanting and making a ruckus 🥁 as debate over 574 continues on. 2 hours of debate is expected this afternoon before the vote.
We're hopeful these protestors don't become rioters and damage property, as they so commonly have done… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

The great Senator Steve Erdman is quoted as saying, "This is dilatory speech in an effort to stop the advancement of this bill."

We couldn't agree more. Senator Bostleman directly follows saying he is in total agreement with Senator Erdman's remarks.

Senator @JaneRaybould now speaking and the only thing we can think of when she talks is the famous line from Billy Madison.
We lend our heartfelt apologies to any Nebraskan that's actually listening to her 🤦‍♀️ #neleg

Senator Jen Day, who we look forward to ousting next November, is still droning on about the rules 🫐
Her repetition has seemingly put @SenMcKinneyLD11 asleep!! #neleg

@NebraskaDems are up in arms today about the rules 🤷‍♂️ yet we're all playing by the same rules...
Don't hate the players, hate the game @janekleeb 🤡

@SenConrad, here today to remind everyone that she's from the fightin 46th the fightin 46th the fightin 46th the fightin 46th the fightin 46th the fightin 46th the fightin 46th.
The only other thing she said was that headlines from drive by, liberal media groups have said they… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

A lot of activity in the Rotunda still, as far left agitators have done their best to disrupt prayer and those who have shown up in support of LB 574. Their screeches and schrills can be heard on the floor of the legislature. #neleg

The great Senator Steve Halloran, saying just now that it's sanctimonious the @NebraskaDems are asking to respect the institution when they have done nothing but display putrid behavior this entire session. He asks that Tony and Danielle get real, their pleas fall on deaf ears.

A quick break from all the silly diatribes of the left- the wonderful Senator Kathleen Kauth, who has worked tirelessly on 574, seems almost at ease here late this afternoon ❤️⚘️
We'd like to recognize the fierceness she has brought as a freshman Senator. Need more like her!!

Calm. Cool. Collected.

Senator Kauth speaking straight facts 🔥🔥🔥 Let's go

IN A WILD TURN OF EVENTS>>>
Senator @JustinTWayne resorting to violence, if only he was a freshman Senator... YIKES!
This is followed in the comments by @NebraskaDems Executive Director Precious McKesson inquiring if she should, quote, "pull up"...
Urban Dictionary defines this… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Wayne's motion has failed.
A call to question arose, which ultimately passed, meaning debate has ceased!
@senatormachaela Cavanaugh is now attempting to add to her prolific acting monologue's in closing, yet this one is not better than all the rest. Always a thespian!
We still… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@JohnforNE crocodile tears incoming in 3... 2... 1... 🐊💧
Come on...

The chair has attempted to close the doors because of the noise & disruption the protestors/rioters are causing.
It has been met with opposition from @SenConrad, @NebraskaMegan, and the ilk.
We are at a standstill at the Nebraska State Capitol.
There is currently no order. #neleg

Almost an hour later, it seems we're basically in the exact same spot.

We're just calling it like we see it at this point folks. Lots of talk, no action.
#neleg

A mob of angry protestors/rioters outside the legislative chamber. They have chanted obscenities and have also lined the hallway where the Senators exit the chamber.
#peacefulprotests #neleg
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@NE_Examiner @OWHnews @asanderford @stoddardOWH insurrectionists, yes?!?

We went live on Facebook for the vote (fb.watch/kzUwog4Zjm/), but LB 574 marches on 🎶 with the abortion amendment 💯
