Drop Site correspondent Julian Andreone pressed Sen. Pete Ricketts about a $1,000 donation he accepted from Tyson days after saying he’d “look into” whether the company violated the Stockyards and Packers Act by shutting down its Lexington, Nebraska plant.

Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts tells Drop Site News he is standing behind the legality of Tyson’s decision to close its Lexington beef-processing plant, despite the Packers and Stockyards Act barring such plant closures aimed at price manipulation. The plant employed 3,200 Nebraskans in a town of 10,000 people before it shuttered on January 20. “They are not violating the Stockers Packyards [Act],” Ricketts told Drop Site’s Julian Andreone, mangling the name of the law that could protect the town from total devastation. Ricketts had previously told reporters he was “taking a look at” whether Tyson violated the law, as his independent opponent Dan Osborn has alleged. Watch: Julian Andreone | Senator Pete Ricketts

We are forcing Pete Ricketts to do his job. Yesterday, Ricketts was asked about the Packers and Stockyards Act, and he said his “team is looking at any allegation of wrongdoing” by Tyson. We don’t need another investigation. We don’t need another useless congressional report that leads to nothing. We need ACTION! Tyson workers and Nebraska ranchers need you to demand that USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins immediately initiate an action to hold Tyson accountable for any market manipulation.

🗳️Republican plant? Independent candidate Dan Osborn and the Nebraska Democratic Party have accused incumbent Republican Pete Ricketts of covertly propping up three-time Trump-voter Bill Forbes in the Democratic Senate primary today. Forbes, a pastor who has spent years involved in Republican politics, he been described by Democratic leaders as a “plant,” running as a spoiler candidate who could weaken independent candidate Osborn’s path to victory in the general election. According to the Nebraska Examiner, Forbes has “sidestepped” the question of being “loyal” to Ricketts, and CNN reported that the pastor also attended a conservative leadership training hosted by the Nebraska Republican Party just months before jumping into the Democratic primary. Ricketts and his campaign deny any collusion. Report by Julian Andreone

Do you care about the release of the Epstein files and holding the rich and powerful monsters accountable who hurt little kids? If so, check this out. When my opponent Pete Ricketts was Governor of Nebraska, he signed an OFFICIAL government proclamation declaring January “Human Trafficking Awareness Month." He even said human trafficking was a "modern form of slavery." But then he voted AGAINST releasing the Epstein files in September (despite other Republicans in the Senate voting for their release). Ricketts then did a Nebraska radio interview in July where he was asked his thoughts about the Epstein files. He said they were a "low priority." Only after there was so much public pressure was he forced to change his vote. In the last few months, have you heard him talk about it at all!? Has he used his position of power to pressure Pam Bondi to name and arrest Epstein's co-conspirators!? Protecting victims of human trafficking shouldn't be a low priority. Ever. Ricketts will make the proclamation. He just won't do the work when it actually matters.

Pete Ricketts voted AGAINST releasing the Epstein Files. Months before, he was asked what he thought about investigating Epstein. Ricketts replied that investigating one of the most notorious sex traffickers in history was a “low priority.” You wanna see what integrity and consistency on this issue looks like? Take notes: Last month I had a fundraiser. One of the guys associated with the fundraiser turned out to be in the Epstein Files (his name had come out a week before so it wasn’t widely known at that point). IMMEDIATELY upon hearing this, I cancelled the fundraiser. Didn’t take me more than 5 minutes to decide. I found out how much this guy donated ($3,300 in 2024) and gave his money to an amazing Nebraska nonprofit who supports victims of child abuse and trafficking. That’s how you do it. Kids being raped on an island by a bunch of billionaire elites will NEVER be a “low priority” to me. Unlike Pete Ricketts, I would vote to release the Epstein Files. I wouldn’t need some massive pressure campaign to get me to change my vote. The Epstein Class wants to protect the Epstein Class.

Drop Site correspondent Julian Andreone asked Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to explain why he traded up to $50,000 in Conoco Phillips, Chevron, and Raytheon stocks just days before the Trump administration’s unconstitutional operation to take custody of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and turn over Venezuela’s more than $17 trillion of oil reserves to American oil and gas companies. The senator said the information is “on public record,” directing Drop Site to review his disclosures and ethics reports. Conoco and Chevron, were both among oil companies Trump invited to the White House, in the wake of former President Maduro’s capture, to meet and discuss $100 billion of American investment into the seized oil reserves in Venezuela. Chevron is the only major US oil company that is still operating in Venezuela, and ConocoPhillips also stands to gain billions of dollars in Venezuela, that the company claims they are owed. The senator has yielded 15-20% returns on his Conoco and Chevron trades, and 3.71% on Raytheon. During his time in Congress, he has bought or sold $23.68 million worth of stocks in a total 492 trades. Julian Andreone | Markwayne Mullin

Her response: “I have called for a ceasefire.” She then told our correspondent to speak to Republicans and drove away.

Democratic Majority for Israel spent over $2 million boosting her against Nina Turner in 2021, while AIPAC’s United Democracy Project and Pro-Israel America PAC poured in hundreds of thousands more.

Earlier Wednesday, multiple Israeli strikes hit displaced Palestinians across Gaza, killing at least 24 people and injuring 38, according to the territory’s Health Ministry.

🎥 For the first time since the start of the Iran war, both the House and Senate passed a concurrent resolution ordering President Trump to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities against Iran. Under the 1973 War Powers Resolution, the measure does not require a presidential signature and cannot be vetoed. Trump, though, has refused to comply with the resolution, continuing his assault on Iran and setting up a potentially historic legal showdown. Drop Site’s Julian Andreone asked senators on Capitol Hill whether they would consider pushing the courts to enforce the legislative action they took to restrain Trump’s illegal war. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) noted that Congress has never actually passed such a resolution before, opening a new legal avenue to be addressed via litigation. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) spoke about a lawsuit he personally filed as an individual senator, based on a claim which the courts determined did not have standing and dismissed on “political questions” grounds. The “political questions” doctrine, however, only applies when Congress has yet to act and the judiciary decides not to intervene, not after both chambers have already spoken as they now have.

Drop Site’s Capitol Hill reporter Julian Andreone spoke with Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) about foreign press access to Gaza, Israel’s ongoing killing of Palestinian civilians, U.S. arms transfers, and the role that campaign donations and the pro-Israel lobby play in shaping policy. Kaine told Drop Site he strongly believes journalists should be allowed into Gaza and said Congress is scrutinizing arms transfers more closely than in the past, while acknowledging there is still no majority for imposing limits. Kaine’s record reflects shifts over the course of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. In March 2024, he voted to arm Israel’s war machine with $14 billion in U.S. tax dollars, as the reported death toll surpassed 30,000, with Gaza’s Health Ministry estimating roughly 72% of those killed were women and children. He later supported cutting U.S. funding to UNRWA, the backbone of Gaza’s aid operation, a decision that contributed to the collapse of aid delivery and worsening famine conditions. In November 2024 and April 2025, however, the Senator voted to block transfers of offensive weapons, including JDAMs, tank rounds, and mortars, and in September 2025 led a symbolic call for U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state, joined by six other Democratic senators. When asked whether the fact that 94% of Congress has accepted donations from the pro-Israel lobby concerns him or affects U.S. foreign policy, he said, “I don’t think it does.” Julian Andreone | Senator Tim Kaine

2,500 workers showed up to the beef plant in Joslin, Illinois on a Thursday morning and were told their jobs were over. Immediately. Tyson Foods announced August 13th it was closing the Joslin facility. Not a phased shutdown. Workers were told on the spot. That same week: Eagle Mountain, Utah. Closed. Pasco, Washington. Up for sale. Earlier this year, Lexington, Nebraska. 3,200 jobs gone. A town of 10,000 people lost its economic backbone overnight. The US cattle herd is at a 75-year low. The smallest since 1951. Tyson says there aren't enough cattle to justify running these plants. Beef prices have already climbed 70% over five years. Ground beef over $6 a pound. And now processing capacity is shrinking on top of it. Fewer plants. Fewer workers. Less beef. Higher prices. That is the trajectory. That breakdown from A Homestead Journey laid it out plain. This is why I raise my own and sell direct. When the middle collapses, the people who source locally still eat. Your rancher, Jason Hanley | 208-714-0478
