The clearest example of GOP saying F**k you to ordinary people. Money for private school tuition regardless of income. Yeah that makes sense if you #drankthekoolaid.

Republican's blame game hurts NH, as GOP doubles down on sacrificing our excellent universities to distract from their failure to lead us forward.

Stop digging the hole deeper. We already have the highest in-state public university tuition costs in the country. Free Staters don't believe in education, but the business community is saying enough already. They need a work force -- we need to educate our children.

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

Concord, NH rally to resist Trump tyranny. No end to the disgraceful abuses of power and human rights, destruction of prosperity and peace to enrich power hungry oligarchs.

Those evil chuckles, tho.

Right on. Now is not the time for going along with the trump parade in any way. Problem for many national Dems is spineless acceptance of genocide, ecocide, hollowing out of American dream, (housing, public ed, etc) while tech bros, corporations and oligarchs run the table.

Not down with NH passing an austerity budget on the back of working families and marginalized people? Me neither. Not fine with national Dems who think genocide is okayish? Check.
Think bringing back coal is stupid? Yep. What else? Add yours below.

Trump’s Political Position Is Very Precarious, Perhaps Fatal; Here’s A Plan Republicans may call for Trump’s Removal from office by the Fall to avoid what some Republican Senators have called a looming “bloodbath”.

Sounds like a plan to me!

On Trade and Tariffs, Trump’s Stubborn Ignorance Shines Bright The president can't be taught. And we’re suffering for it.

The problem is Trump doesn't read and that's a feature not a bug for his base who also don't read.

We are trapped in the Republican road map for America:
Tax cuts and subsidies for the rich and well-connected.
Austerity for the rest of us.
A wasteland for our children.

President Trump’s mindless tariffs will cause economic havoc But the rest of the world can limit the damage

"IF YOU failed to spot America being “looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far” or it being cruelly denied a “turn to prosper”, then congratulations: you have a firmer grip on reality than the president of the United States."

Yeah they're laughing at us, better than crying.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

That sinking feeling in New Hampshire is brought to you by the grand illusion • New Hampshire Bulletin The thousands in debt wasn’t the result of vacations; we never took any.

The hole we are in, described well by a survivor. To anyone who has known the struggle of living paycheck to paycheck.

No More Art in the 603
Along with deep cuts to social services, public higher ed, Medicaid + more -- Now NH about to be the first state in USA to eliminate state arts council which gives out over $1 million grants for nonprofits, cultural organizations, and artists.
We Need A Road Less MAGA.

Thank you for speaking out, Congresswoman. Also on Gaza, where our national interest does not lie in enabling further destruction of innocent lives.

NH GOP pile it on with race-baiting BS😱 Yesterday in Finance Committee, they pushed anti-DEI measure into state budget in final hour of executive session.
Their purpose? Change the subject from their massive cuts to social services, the arts, public education, Medicaid + more.
Hands Off!

It all started with the arrival of the Free State Project and its authoritarianism and intolerance. Thank you Garry Rayno, for laying it out there!

When For the People Goes So goes government of and by the people

There is a logic to this of course. When you cut government services, including public education, to the bone, it becomes de facto reality that government no longer functions for the people

Smilin' Rep. Dan McGuire. "These are people in the prime of life. They don't need no scholarships."
Elections have consequences, but this time around the consequences are a nightmare. I'm glad my kids are almost out of college and safe. We brought them up on a teacher's salary. Never this bad.

Always loved Dropkick Murphys. Especially now that it's the official soundtrack to the resistance.
