So-called Right-To-Work legislation was defeated in the New Hampshire House on Thursday, dealing a major win to Democrats and labor unions and a considerable loss to state Republicans and governor Kelly Ayotte.

New from me: Today NH House Republicans withdrew a 15-week abortion ban bill after public backlash and internal GOP pressure.

NH Dems warn: "NH Republicans aren’t done attacking reproductive rights." #NHPolitics granitepostnews.com/2025/01/27/n...

Anyone who claims to be surprised by this is also likely to be surprised when they learn zebras have stripes, jackals are carnivores, and skunks spray.

The NHGQP lies about everything constantly. This should surprise absolutely fucking no one. #NHPolitics

when Trump/GOP in Congress cut medicaid funding early in the year + NH's trigger law kicks - what does Ayotte's budget do to keep or roll back health coverage for 60k+ Granite Staters? kffhealthnews.org/news/article... #NHPolitics

Will be interesting to see where she draws the line on restrictions given how incremental some changes are likely to be.

This could prove to be an early crucial test for incoming Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte, given her oft-repeated promise to hold the line against any further restrictions on abortion. It’s often your own party that can cause the biggest political headaches under unified government. #NHPolitics

NH Republicans backtrack on election promises, propose new abortion restrictions Top New Hampshire reproductive rights leaders are decrying recently filed bills by state Republicans that would further roll back abortion and reproductive

Despite spending big on ads in 2024 promising they wouldn't, NH Republicans have filed multiple 2025 bills to restrict abortion rights, including a travel ban and mandatory anti-abortion curriculum in schools. #NHPolitics granitepostnews.com/2024/12/11/n...

Oh snap.

New Hampshire House Democrats have announced their leadership team for the upcoming legislative session.

Meanwhile, House Republicans have yet to name their leadership, breaking precedent and sparking speculation about internal disputes. #NHPolitics granitepostnews.com/2024/12/09/n...

Indeed. In 2022, former Free State Project board member Jeremy Kauffman said the quiet part out loud, describing NH's school choice program as "a stepping stone towards reducing or eliminating state involvement in schools" & acknowledging that "the entire program is run by Free Staters." #NHPolitics

That shit rules

Insane move. Since I have moved right over the border I do all my shopping in NH and a ton of other people do too.

Not beating the basic bitch charges this year I’m afraid.

when a corporate CEO pays less taxes than a teacher, that means the system is broken.

it just isn’t fair.

and when the richest people and greedy wealthy businesses use loopholes and tax handouts to avoid paying what they owe, it’s the rest of us who feel the squeeze.

Every GOP accusation is a confession continues to be undefeated.

Top NH Republican staffer floats state sales tax New Hampshire Republicans based the vast majority of their 2024 campaign message on dubious claims that Democrats would dramatically raise taxes if elected.

After campaigning on dubious claims that Democrats would raise taxes, one top New Hampshire Republican staffer is now floating a state sales tax — a move that would hit low-income Granite Staters hardest. #NHPolitics granitepostnews.com/2024/12/04/t...

Budget headwinds and tailwinds: Looking ahead to the next state budget cycle  • New Hampshire Bulletin The Legislature will work to pass a new state budget in 2025. After four budget cycles that began with surpluses, the next cycle may be more challenging.

Not mentioned in the article: the potential impact of yet another GOP effort to reduce the business enterprise tax, which will likely have a negative impact on revenues—and lead to more downshifting to property taxpayers.

Best of luck tomorrow with family and friends!

Intoxicated with post-election endorphins, NH’s leading odious subsidized-by-billionaires right-wing blog has apparently decided to go hard after Jeanne Shaheen. Her vote to block arms sales to Israel came the same day NPR reported the Israeli military is using killer drones on civilians in Gaza.

Incoming NH legislative leaders are warning GOP budget plans will downshift state costs to local taxpayers, with deep cuts to education, tourism, & vital services, while NH GOP tax breaks for the wealthy leave Granite Staters to foot the bill. #NHPolitics t.co/ROwJQlFbTn
