Over 2,500 employees will be affected by this decision and Tyson Foods must ensure employees are offered severance for a layoff occurring just days before Thanksgiving.

Nebraska deserves a Senator who will fight for victims, not protect rich and powerful people who hurt them. Exposing child predators should never be a low priority, and a real leader wouldn't need a pressure campaign to do the right thing.

Ricketts learned that Nebraskans won't let him protect billionaires over victims. Keep the pressure on everyone. He may still try to wiggle out of this if he can, so don’t let him.

The victims of Jeffrey Epstein deserve justice. The wealthy and powerful people in Epstein's orbit who perpetrated unthinkable crimes against innocent kids deserve to be exposed - no matter how rich they are, no matter how powerful their friends are.

Meatpacking is already one of the most dangerous jobs in America, and consolidation into giant plants makes it worse—workers face higher injury rates, and companies locate plants in rural areas with weak labor protections to suppress wages and avoid unions.

10. Worker safety is compromised in mega-plants.

When processing is concentrated in just a few massive facilities, companies prioritize speed and volume over worker safety.

JBS has pleaded guilty to price-fixing and is tied to massive bribery scandals in Brazil. Yet they received millions in U.S. taxpayer bailout money and continue buying cattle from American ranchers. Our food security is in the hands of foreign criminals.

9. Two BRAZILIAN companies control 40% of America's beef supply (and one is a convicted criminal!).

JBS and Marfrig (which owns National Beef) are foreign corporations that control nearly half of U.S. cattle processing.

8. Small ranchers get the worst deals while corporate mega-feedlots get preferential treatment

Big operations get guaranteed contracts, better financing, & bonus payments. Small ranchers are forced to sell day-to-day on cash markets for less money. The system is rigged against small producers.

After the repeal, American ranchers' share of the grass-fed beef market fell from over 60% to less than 25%. JBS and other foreign corporations filled our grocery stores with cheap foreign beef while LYING to American consumers and stealing sales from American ranchers.

Here's the scam: a cow could be born, raised, and slaughtered in Brazil or Australia, then shipped to the U.S. for nothing more than packaging—and the Big Four could slap a "Product of USA" label on it.

7. They're flooding America with fake "Product of USA" beef.

The Big Four lobbied to repeal Country-of-Origin Labeling in 2015 so they could flood the market with cheap foreign beef...

6. Our food supply is dangerously fragile.

Just 12 mega-plants process nearly half of all beef in America. When COVID hit and plants shut down, the whole system collapsed—ranchers had cattle with nowhere to go and grocery stores had empty shelves.

Research shows that every 1% increase in contract cattle drives cash market prices DOWN 0.06%. These corporations deliberately killing the transparent market to pay ranchers less.

In 1995, 82% of cattle were still sold through these transparent cash markets. Today, only 27% are sold that way. Instead of auctions, beef companies make private arrangements with ranchers through long-term contracts (ranchers always make LESS in these arrangements than they did in cash markets).

5. The transparent auction system that made capitalism work is dead.

For most of the mid-20th century through the 2000s, ranchers sold cattle through open auctions and cash markets where they could see real prices and dozens of buyers competed for their cattle.
