Update on Nebraska dad who killed his 2 kids & fled to CA.
The Nebraska father charged in the deaths of his two children waived extradition in a court hearing Wednesday afternoon in California, clearing the way for him to return home to face charges. Adam L. Price, 35, has been charged

Back at her home in Illinois, Nielsen spent the day making funeral arrangements for her kids. Nielsen said she brought their bodies back Tuesday from Nebraska to her home state of Illinois, and is planning a private viewing on Friday for family and a small group of close friends.
The children’s remains will be cremated, according to Nielsen.
“Emily used to wear her ‘cowgirl boots’ everywhere,” she told The Daily Beast. “If I called them ‘cowboy boots,’ she would correct me and say, ‘No mom, they’re cowgirl boots.’ So we found a cowgirl boot urn for her. We picked one out for Teddy that had a space in front where we could put a picture of Batman in it.”
Price was arrested Sunday in Pacifica, California—a 25-hour drive from Bellevue—after investigators discovered his whereabouts thanks to an automated license plate reader in Nevada that clocked him going by. Autopsy results for the kids are still pending, which could lead to additional charges.
On Saturday at 1 p.m., Nielsen will host a public memorial at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Rock Falls, Illinois. The pastor who baptized Nielsen as a child will lead the ceremony, and Nielsen’s old music teacher will perform.

USPS NEWS: I talked with President Biden’s newest picks for the USPS Board of Governors. Not only did I emphasize DeJoy’s disastrous leadership, but I also got their commitment to a full review of USPS leadership and policies.
It's time to build back a better Postal Service.

1/ Recommend the @PBS series, Rise of the Nazis, on how democracy died in Germany from 1930-1933.
The antidotes to fascism are to:
1. Strengthen #VotingRights.
2. Hold those who break the law accountable.
3. Fight disinformation.
2/ 4 key takeaways that America should consider before history repeats.
#1 Don’t think it can’t happen here
#2 Don’t cooperate with those who show authoritarian tendencies
#3 Holding political people accountable to the rule of law saves lives
#4 Disinformation leads to death
3/ Some details from the @PBS episodes that jumped out, if you’re interested.
“Rise of the Nazis” starts with a warning…
4/ “In 1930, Germany is a liberal democracy—with elections, parliament, and the rule of law.
Just 4 years later, freedom of speech is over, most of the political opposition is in jail, and the government is in the hands of murderers.
This is the story of how democracy died.” (Source: https://threader.app/thread/1393249543433515008)
