Roadside Update! đźš— New Project + Huge NE Political News!

Just had to pull over and share a quick update with you all! I’m currently on the road heading to the set of a brand-new, top-secret project. I can’t spill the beans on what the Parsons team is filming just yet, but let’s just say I’m excited.

I also had to weigh in on the breaking news: former state Sen. Brett Lindstrom officially turned in his signatures for his nonpartisan bid for Nebraska governor. Watch the video for my quick thoughts on what this means for this fall’s race for Nebraska governor.

A Nebraska Father’s Plea to Gov. Pillen: “Stop Hurting Families Like Mine”

A Nebraska Father’s Plea to Gov. Pillen: “Stop Hurting Families Like Mine”

Jul 30, 2026 |

For more than 40 years, Mike Browne’s two sons have required around-the-clock care because of profound developmental disabilities and severe autism. Now, a new state assessment says they’re suddenly “less disabled.”

In this emotional message, Browne explains why he believes Nebraska’s new disability assessment system is producing results that don’t match reality—not just for his family, but for more than 700 families across the state.

He is calling on Governor Jim Pillen to pause the current assessment process, restore families to their previous level of care, and fix or replace the assessment tool before more vulnerable Nebraskans are harmed.

Browne urges viewers to sign the petition through the Disability Alliance of Nebraska and help ensure that individuals with profound disabilities receive the services they need.
