Remember when the Chicks said they were embarrassed that W was from Texas? Well, I sure as hell am embarrassed that Karoline Leavitt is from the Granite State, and I’m glad she left it.

Any questions? www.rawstory.com/book-censors...

Republicans just created a Medicaid income tax—forcing low-income families to pay monthly premiums just to access care. It’s cruel. It’s unnecessary. And it punishes the people who can least afford it. #NHPolitics

Ope.

Dow Down 2200+ Points Fox:

Just in time for today’s budget debate: “The research clearly shows that business tax rate reductions did not generate enough economic activity to offset the revenue shortfalls they generated.” #NHPolitics www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/01/m...

Someone tell DOGE! Brutal photo by huff post i love it

I know you lost your 401k, are out of a job, and now paying 40% more on everything but at least Donald won his golf tournament!

Coming soon to a New Hampshire TV near you—an ad campaign from an out-of-state right-wing group funded by billionaires to persuade you that defunding public schools to pay for private and religious schools is “freedom” instead of theft. indepthnh.org/2025/03/01/d...

This needs to go viral and it needs to happen all over the country!

What a stupid question, and what a great answer!

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

The congressman responded by comparing his constituents at the meeting to Jan 6 insurrectionists.

A GOP state rep who is also a doctor and supports vaccinations was removed from his seat on the NH House Health and Human Services committee before a key vote on an anti-vax bill—which his GOP colleagues then passed. www.wmur.com/article/new-...

He nails it.

Their incompetence and carelessness has been jaw-dropping so far - and if you are not a billionaire or at least in the top tax bracket, you are definitely not the one they want to help.

Good for her! I have thought about doing this before in Concord 😂

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

The 'find out' phase is here.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

"even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making" "Tillis told people that the FBI warned him about 'credible death threats' when he was considering voting against Pete Hegseth’s nomination"

There is bipartisan support in Concord for what lawmakers are calling "Momnibus 2.0," a legislative package that targets maternal mental health.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Oh, and the Trump / GOP budget reduces / eliminates the child tax credit, eliminates mortgage home deduction, eliminates student loan interest, reduces food stamps, and cuts Medicaid and Medicare - all of this so the morbidly wealthy can get tax breaks on the backs of hard-working Americans. #FAFO

Raise your hand if you voted to let Elon Musk risk the security of our nuclear weapons. MORE: www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say this was *literally* the argument Hitler made at his trial following the Beer Hall Putsch.

Elon Musk spent $300 million to get Trump elected—so he could *checks notes* fire middle-class Americans who make sure Veterans get healthcare. Because nothing says "populist revolution" like mass layoffs for the people actually serving those who served.

Doing great 👍

Spot on.

Yes, indeed. You want to know how Trump and Musk think about the American people? They think about us the way billionaires think of the people whose hard work makes them rich.

GOP Senator Roger Wicker on Pete Hegseth’s NATO speech: “I don’t know who wrote the speech — it is the kind of thing Tucker Carlson could have written, and Carlson is a fool.” Wicker (who voted to confirm Hegseth) told Politico, adding that he was “puzzled” and “disturbed” by Hegseth’s comments.

Republican Congressman Bacon on Trump’s “peace plan”

Cats have more control over their bodies than women do.

House Republicans unveiled their budget plan this week. Here's the summary. Step 1: Take billions from health care and kids' food. Step 2: Give the money in tax cuts to the rich. Step 3: Profit.

Trump just banned the use of the word “felon” in the White House. Seems like something a felon would do.

We asked, YOU answered! These are just a few of the issues that Granite Staters want to see funded in the state budget. Will Gov. Ayotte’s budget on Thursday meet the mark? #NHPolitics
