Nebraska lawmakers haven't passed a single bill this session, as a state lawmaker, senator Machaela Cavanaugh, continues a weeks-long filibuster protest over trans rights and vows to "burn this session to the ground" if she has to. Starting in February, Cavanaugh has filibustered every bill that has come before the legislature this session. She is protesting proposal LB574 — or the "Let Them Grow Act" — which was put forward by a Republican lawmaker.
Cavanaugh talks for up to 12 hours a day on the floor to prevent bills from passing, speaking on everything from the bills themselves to her favorite salads.
She has made her intentions clear: "If this legislature collectively decides that legislating hate against children is our priority, then I am going to make it painful — painful — for everyone."
