House Democratic Leader Simpson and Rep. David Paige visited Conway last week to hear how local groups are struggling to help Granite Staters meet basic needs after 8 years of GOP controlled state government. We won’t stop bringing their stories to Concord. #NHPolitics

NH families are being crushed by rising costs + gutted public services.

But there’s still hope—we can build a future where the government works for working people, not the wealthy.

It’ll take all of us. Join the fight:

Voters divided on midterms despite broad Trump disapproval, poll finds Most Americans disapprove the president’s handling of top issues, and a majority say he has gone too far in exercising his powers.

3 in 5 Americans disapprove of Trump's job performance, the highest level since after the Jan. 6 attack. Americans disapprove even of his handling of issues historically favorable to him like immigration, crime and the economy. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Beautiful #GOTV Day in Berlin canvassing for the Hon. Corinne Cascadden. Hearing lots of support at the doors because she’s a strong advocate for public schools, healthcare access, & the environment. Wishing her lots of luck for tomorrow’s Special Election. #NHPolitics

Two federal judges ruled the Trump administration must use existing funds to pay SNAP benefits.

NH Gov. Kelly Ayotte refused to sign onto the lawsuit, capitulating to Trump.

Wow. #NHPolitics

Hours after SNAP, WIC, Head Start, and other critical benefits expired for millions of Americans, Donald Trump is arriving at his golf club in Florida.

All Halloweenie’d out.
Here’s to stick season & the approaching holidays.

New WaPo/ABC poll:

45% of Americans blame Trump and congressional Republicans for the shutdown. 33% blame Democrats.

By a 2-to-1 margin, Independents blame Trump and Republicans over Democrats: 46% to 23%.

Happy Halloweenie!!! 👻 🎃 🍬

A horizontal bar chart titled “WelcomePAC Funding Sources” showing $11.29M in total funding from FEC data. The largest share comes from “Billionaires & Heirs” at $6.01M, represented by a long purple bar. Next is “Hedge Funds/VC/Private Equity” at $2.50M, also in purple. “Corporate Executives” show $0.30M and “Corporate Entity” $0.25M, each with very small purple bars. “Americans Together” is listed at $1.02M with an orange bar, and “Other” is $1.22M with a gray bar. The graphic emphasizes that most funding—over half—comes from billionaires and heirs, with additional significant contributions from finance and private equity. Source: Federal Election Commission.

It’s a sign of the times that the people who funded the WelcomePAC report that’s telling Democrats they are “out of touch” with ordinary Americans are mostly billionaires, hedge fund managers, VCs, and corporate execs.

We’ll target 4 regions throughout the county with volunteering, donating food & collecting contributions to go to existing non-profits in the food insecurity space.

It’s a big job and we’re going to need help.

That’s where you come in. Standby for more info on where, when & how. #FeedGrafton

Worried about the impending food insecurity crisis? When the November federal $ doesn’t arrive, NH state government bandaids aren’t going to solve it. Hunger hurts us all. Democrats in Grafton County are mobilizing to spread out a month-long response to assist communities. #FeedGrafton

Narrator: As Trump decomposes before the entire world, the House GOP has announced that they have competed an inquiry into the cognitive decline of ... Joe Biden, with a special focus on what pens he used.

Now this is a political post I can get behind!

Enough with the commentary already. How about rolling up your sleeves and doing the work before offering criticism.

Ok! Then deep appreciation to Phil and team!

Fact check: This morning, it was announced that it was 10 years. Can I get an official call from the decision desk?

The New York Times’ “Moderation Advantage” Is a Statistical Illusion After accounting for money and incumbency the supposed electoral bonus for moderate candidates vanishes entirely.

Look. It would be great if there was one simple trick for winning elections. But 'just be more moderate' isn't it.

In fact, you can use the NYT's exact method to 'prove' a 'Progressive Advantage' of +1.4 pts.

This piece shows what's really going on: funded candidates do better than unfunded ones.

Great morning, talking affordability policy in New Hampshire with the experts @nhfpi.bsky.social. Looking forward to part two this afternoon! #NHPolitics

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days.

1) Let them eat ballroom
