Be warned everyone that this tidbit by Trump likely refers to a plan by certain techbros to run their own nuclear power plants. People need to fight hard against any effort to weaken the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which grants licenses and ensures safe operation of nuclear energy facilities.

Is this what a “roaring economy” looks like to you?
Under Donald Trump and Kelly Ayotte, prices are through the roof. I’m running for Governor to make sure that every family can afford to live in our state. #NHPolitics
there is currently a NH House committee hearing on a bill to involuntarily commit people with substance use disorder

the NH Advantage means massive cuts in services, rising cost of living, and a lack of affordable housing

In a state that used to be one of the easiest to vote in—and where voter fraud was as rare as a bald eagle that’s actually bald—new GOP voter registration requirements are poised to disenfranchise thousands. And Scanlan was totally complicit. #NHPolitics newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/24/t...

Monstrously evil. Abolish ICE. Melt down its weapons and sell off all of its assets. Release everyone from its concentration camps and grant citizenship (if they want it) to everyone whose rights it has violated.

It took until the late 90s for a majority of Americans to approve of interracial marriage. The “popularists” like Jain or Yglesias would have counseled Democrats to never bring it up because it wasn’t “popular,” the way they’re doing today with trans personhood. It is substantively, morally wrong.
