If I ever became President, there is no doubt what my first and priority objective would be. The Uniform Monday Holiday Act of 1968 has got to go. Signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1968, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act was passed by Congress to shift Washington’s Birthday (now commonly known as President’s Day), Memorial Day and Columbus Day to Mondays annually instead of their fixed dates. It was done to create long weekends for workers and stimulate the economy. Labor Day was already on a Monday and almost 20 years later, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was added as a federal holiday, also on a Monday.

Liu Long before children say their first words or pick up a pencil, they’re learning through their bodies. They kick, reach, roll, crawl and explore hardwired to interact with the world through movement. From the very beginning, motor and sensory experiences are how babies discover their environment and how their brains begin to grow and organize.

Earlier this month, I wrote about Nebraska’s chance to help lead America’s next chapter — from rebuilding our factories, to growing the bioeconomy, to boosting trade, new technology, and financial innovation. These are big picture ideas, but they all come down to one thing: playing to Nebraska’s strengths.

I’m proud of the work my team and I have done fighting for Nebraska this year. Whether it’s meeting with Nebraskans or helping you navigate the federal government, my goal remains the same.

By Adam Ladwig, Ph.D., DPT and Jed Droge, DPT While you’ve likely had your blood pressure checked in your arm countless times, you may have never had it measured in your leg. Yet this simple and often overlooked screening can be critical for detecting restricted blood flow. If left untreated, inadequate blood flow could lead to serious complications including limb loss, disability or even death.

I probably say this every year, but I doubt I’ve meant it to this degree - I am absolutely ready for football season and what an opening week smorgasbord it will be. Starting Thursday, I can consume a football game 10 of the next 12 days, whether high school, college or professional.

My second week back home in the ‘Good Life’ was a literal breath of fresh air. Traveling to the panhandle, I met with Nebraskans in childcare centers, local businesses, and community discussions. Each conversation was a reminder that the heart of public service is listening — not just hearing concerns but understanding the challenges and aspirations that shape daily life in our towns and counties.

Rural communities are the heart and soul of Nebraska. Their health care needs are unique and require tailored solutions. The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) puts rural patients front and center. It brings care, stability, and reform where it’s needed most. We are providing for rural hospitals so they can continue providing for the Good Life.
