As Ricketts spends millions to protect his seat, Osborn is fueling a &#8220;paycheck populism&#8221; movement powered by 25,000 individual donors and a refusal to take corporate PAC money. This is the ultimate David vs. Goliath battle in the heart of the country, and the stakes for the Senate have never been higher. This is perhaps the most important Senate race in the country\u2014because it\u2019s more than about Nebraska\u2014it\u2019s the people vs the ultra-rich, partisan and powerful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories&#8211;and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It\u2019s independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.
