A few days before the fiscal year ends, NH Republicans nearly failed to pass a budgetβ€”then scrambled to pass a reckless CR slashing $700M from our state. Don’t balance your failure on the backs of the sick, elderly, poor, and working class. #NHPolitics

Apparently β€œparental rights” are very important when it comes to library books, so I’m sure they’ll be important when gender-affirming care for minors comes up in HB 377-FN, right? Right?? #NHPolitics

"While Republicans bicker and posture on the radio and social media, Democrats are ready to govern but have been blocked out of the process. Enough with the games. It’s time to do your job.” #NHPolitics

Major props to whomever shared this sign yesterday in Concord, NH. I was honored to hold it during the #NoKings event and received many compliments for it.

A photo collage featuring the victims of the Pulse shooting in Orlando.

9 years ago, 49 lives were stolen in a deadly attack affecting the LGBTQ+ community at Pulse nightclub in Orlando.

No one should have to fear for their lives when they go out for the night with their friends.

We must put an end to gun violence for good.

Just before the holiday weekend, Gov. Ayotte quietly signed HB 551β€”shielding gun makers from lawsuits over faulty weapons. She sided with corporate executives over Granite Staters and law enforcement. #NHPolitics

This is a cruel attempt to expel transgender individuals from common spaces and we will not stop our fight against this bill. #nhpolitics

Several people in the State House hallway; most prominent sign says "Trans rights are human rights"

Today (May 22nd, 2025) is a cool, drizzly day here in Concord NH as we prepare for this week's House session. A lot of the bad stuff that Republicans are doing at the federal level is being mirrored by their state-level counterparts. Follow along here as I livepost. #NHPolitics

In Concord, New Hampshire, the people are speaking up! The question is whether the #NHSenate will listen. Public money should go to the public good! #NHPolitics

Teachers have one of the hardest jobs out there and are expected to go above and beyond for their students despite not getting paid nearly enough to live on. This is the result of slashing school budgets year after year and we can't let it keep happening here in New Hampshire.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

The formula is, you control the universities

Dismantle your opponents-maybe by investigating their funding

Neutralize lawyers and the judiciary

And normalize illegal orders-like those which deprive people of die process

So that when you violate the Constitution

Nobody will be left to fight you

We need to get louder for the people in the back. And in the middle. And in the front.

Business coalition urges Senate to reject state aid cut to USNH A coalition of business groups is urging Senate budget writers to restore $50 million cut by the House from state aid to the University System of New Hampshire.

New Hampshire businesses echo what House Democrats have been saying for weeks:

Republican-backed funding cuts to USNH will harm our state's ability to attract talent, grow our workforce, and remain competitive in the regional economy. #NHPolitics

If there are any dems out there looking for examples of how to act, please take note of how @wendyenthomas.bsky.social does it.

Hakeem Jeffries threatens lawsuit over delayed Texas special election One month after Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner's death, Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott has yet to call a special election to fill his seat.

It's getting buried, but Houston will almost certainly not have representation in Congress until January 2027.

Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner died nearly a month ago and Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott has simply decided not to call a special election to fill the seat.

Cutting funding to the university system is wrong. Tell NH House Republicans to fund our university system instead of expanding private school vouchers to the top 1%. #NHPolitics

In contrast to what's happening in New Hampshire, the Republican supermajority in our state House here in South Carolina just voted to add an additional $100 million to public higher ed in SC. If the @democrats.org are looking for a 1st primary state that values education, it's SC, not NH.
