Nebraska state government reporter Andrew Wegley of the Lincoln Journal Star joins the show to break down his scoop on the “Dove Caucus” memo, staff-driven efforts to push biblical values legislation, and what it all means for the independence of the Unicameral. Wegley also looks ahead to Nebraska’s high-stakes 2026 races (CD2, governor, and U.S. Senate), talks about the medical marijuana fight and partisan pressure at the Capitol, and shares why he’s leaving the Journal Star to join nonprofit newsroom Flatwater Free Press.
