The list includes the O'Neill, JFK, and Volpe buildings in Boston/Cambridge. Three iconic federal buildings in the Boston area, great for future use by the Republic of New England.

President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs will drastically raise costs for everyday items like groceries, housing, cars, and home heating oil. The move will hurt our families, farmers, and small businesses. I will continue to loudly oppose them. www.nhpr.org/national/202...

the only real options for dealing with someone like Donald Trump are "don't let him get power" and "get him out of power immediately", and the US seems utterly incapable of doing either

As a province, Vermont would be Canada's third-least populous, ahead of PEI and Newfoundland and Labrador, just behind New Brunswick. But it would enjoy significant economic integration with Montreal -- which is the closest major city to VT's largest city, Burlington, by a lot

Imagine having such a bad reputation among the public that someone trades in your car for a MERCEDES to AVOID being called a Nazi.

Every weather product in the U.S. - on your phone, on your TV, online - is sourced from the National Weather Service. They may add some additional data collection or analysis, but the bulk of the data comes from NWS. This is a disaster in waiting -- a disaster you won't know about because, well,

Emphasizing again that anyone who responds to "that's illegal" with some variant of "lol all law is meaningless you're a sucker for thinking that matters" is actively doing PR for Trump and helping him. Nihilism about the law is the best way to make sure that the rule of law dies a quicker death.

I spent some serious time thinking about this. Money is the problem, but I don't think it's insurmountable. There's a reason to be worried about the information landscape, and that worry can and should impact the people with money, too

By blocking federal funding for good projects, President Trump is stiffing working Americans, small businesses and our communities. The American people elected Donald Trump to lower energy costs—instead he's actively doing the opposite and causing financial hardship.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

I'm all for making government more efficient and cutting waste, but if you needed more proof that Trump and Elon Musk don't have a real plan to do that, keep reading ⬇️

Despite what Trump might have said, slashing Medicaid is on the table in the U.S. House. All so that Republicans in Congress, Trump and Elon Musk can come up with trillions to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy in this country.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

NH reps @repgoodlander.bsky.social and @repchrispappas.bsky.social have both posted about in progress legislation efforts that, in normal times, would be a solid steady effort to improve things. None of that matters as long as DOGE and/or Elon Musk can just check some boxes & effectively defund it

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau keeps scammers, fraudsters and predatory companies in check, protecting you and your hard-earned dollars. By dismantling CFPB, Trump and Elon Musk are protecting their billionaire friends and corporate insiders at your expense.

A temporary government shutdown to block the GOP spending bill is well worth it compared to the permanent damage their proposals will bring.

There is this inescapable feeling that, even if we manage to defeat Trumpism and save democracy in America, those responsible for it are neither going away nor truly getting punished. How do we make it undesirable to even be someone like Joe Rogan or Pete Hegseth if we come out of this all intact?

I proudly served as an intelligence officer in the Navy Reserve for over a decade. In that time, I saw firsthand that strong apolitical leadership in the top ranks of the military is vital to our national security. President Trump’s move to purge senior officers is deeply concerning and dangerous.

New — HHS just got another email with guidance stating that they aren’t required to respond to the 5 bullets email, but if they do they should follow specific guidelines including: “Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”

Let's be clear, what Trump promised was not that he was going to come in and indiscriminately fire people and cut services. He said he was going to lower the cost of everything from food to rent to energy costs. He hasn't done any of that.
