Graphic with a cork billboard. There are three posters pinned to the pinboard. One is yellow with an orange icon of a person lifting a box and text: “lift with your legs not your back! Disclaimer: legally you don’t have to do this.” One is blue with an outline of hands and text that says: “Wash your hands stay healthy. Disclaimer: legally you don’t have to do this.” The third is yellow with an icon of a person slipping inside a triangle and text that says: “Be careful. Don’t slip. Disclaimer: legally you don’t have to do this.”

HB1584 is bad public health policy and bad graphic design. Public health notices should be clear, concise, and factual — adding additional disclaimers only makes the message confusing. #NHPolitics

Graphic with a pink and purple curvy wave and hearts behind boxes with text. The first box has hearts on either top corner and says “Some sweet bills on the NH House Floor this week.” Below that, there is a pink heart that looks like a candy that says “Modern Voter Registration” and is attached to a box that says: “HB1678 would modernize the voter registration processes in NH, improving voter access and strengthening participation in our democracy.” The next box has a purple heart that says “Healthier Families” and an attached rectangle with text that reads: “HB1798 would help low-income families who are on SNAP get diapers through Medicaid, helping babies stay healthy and families afford to grow.” The last box has a dark pink candy heart with text that reads: “Jobs for College Grads” and an attached rectangle with text that reads: “HB1701 would reestablish a program that helps employers recruit NH college grads, giving more young people incentives to stay in-state and helping our long-term economy.”

Here’s a spotlight of some good bills that will be on the floor tomorrow (Feb. 12th!). #NHPolitics

How much does it cost to stop being poor in America? • New Hampshire Bulletin Last month, a Wall Street portfolio manager named Michael Green created a bit of a stir with a Substack article headlined, “How a broken benchmark quietly broke America.” His provocative economic…

"As just about any working-class American family will tell you, the real 'distortion of reality' is the idea that a family of four can do anything but suffer on $32,150 a year." Commentary from @danawormald.bsky.social #NHPolitics

Everyone deserves to feel safe in the winter — and lease agreements should be explicit in determining whose job it is to remove snow and ice at a rental property! A simple bill with an important impact, thanks Rep. Foss! #NHPolitics #NHTok

Federal workers are about to have their livelihoods upended because of this shutdown. We'll hear talk about "sacrifices" that the American people need to make. Meanwhile, Trump is bailing out Argentina with $20 billion worth of taxpayer dollars.

House, Senate Dems unveil 'Fair Chance' agenda for 2026 House and Senate Democrats outlined their “Fair Chance” agenda for the 2026 legislation session that seeks to make health care, child care and property taxes more affordable for working families.

Kelly Ayotte and State House Republicans raised 90+ fees and funneled YOUR tax dollars to billionaires and out-of-state corporations.

That's wrong.

Granite Staters deserve a FAIR CHANCE at an affordable life — and that's our 2026 agenda. 👇 #NHPolitics

Op-Ed: A Constitutional Right To State-Funded Public Education indepthnh.org/2025/09/26/o...

Granite Staters work hard and just want a fair chance. Years and years of GOP tax giveaways to billionaires and private-school vouchers have left the rest of us behind. It’s time for a Fair Chance Agenda. #NHPolitics

From equipping communities with the tools to build more affordable housing, to protecting renters from predatory increases, House Democrats are fighting for a fair chance for every Granite Stater. #NHPolitics

This isn’t about lines on a map. It’s about whether Granite Staters get to choose their politicians or whether politicians get to choose their voters. We’ll fight back against this power grab. #NHPolitics

Today, we are launching our Fair Chance Agenda. Check back over the next few weeks as we take a deeper dive into the policies we will be spearheading for the 2026 legislative session! #NHPolitics

ICE flights at Pease raise concerns and 'fear' for immigrants in Portsmouth Portsmouth mayor says ICE flights at Pease have residents concerned about the Trump administration striking 'fear" in immigrants.

New Hampshire should not be used as a layover for immigrants to be secretly flown to other detention centers across the U.S.

This is a cruel and gross expansion of the Trump administration’s deportation machine. www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/l...

He just...said it, out loud!

Opinion: The courts have repeatedly told us we aren’t meeting the bare minimum for funding public education. Republicans have ignored their directives.

"While the Courts have repeatedly told us we aren’t meeting the bare minimum for funding public education, NH Republicans have ignored their directives + diverted scarce taxpayer funds into a voucher scheme with zero accountability."

Trump wrote the playbook, Gov. Ayotte followed it in New Hampshire state budget: gut Medicaid, reward the ultra-rich, and squeeze rural hospitals dry. #NHPolitics

House and Senate Republicans passed HB 60 to Gov. Ayotte’s desk, a bill which will certainly lead to unnecessary evictions and increase homelessness in N.H. 📞 Call Gov. Ayotte and tell her to veto HB 60: 603-271-2121. #NHPolitics

STATEMENT ON CONVAL ⬇️

"This decision drops on the day Gov. Ayotte’s budget takes effect, siphoning millions out of public-school classrooms to bankroll private-school vouchers for the wealthy. The GOP claim that they’re “adequately funding” public education is just not supported.” #NHPolitics

Today, the court ruled: the Republican Majority must do its job. #NHPolitics

Don't be fooled by Republicans saying they "protected" Granite Advantage. “Protecting” Granite Advantage doesn’t mean slapping a health care tax on the working class while giving handouts to the wealthy. #NHPolitics

What our gaslighting governor isn’t telling you is this budget imposes an income tax on low income people—including kids—who get healthcare from Granite Advantage and CHIPS. Meanwhile NH’s wealthiest families get ten$ of million$ in voucher $ubsidies for private school tuition. #NHPolitics

A few days before the fiscal year ends, NH Republicans nearly failed to pass a budget—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

Rapidly expanding school voucher programs pinch state budgets • New Hampshire Bulletin It’s a dilemma that some budget experts fear will become more common nationwide as the costs of school choice measures mount across the states, reaching billions of dollars each year.

States across the country are sounding the alarm: "universal" school vouchers are blowing holes in state budgets. NH is next. With the threat of no income cap +skyrocketing costs, this program threatens public schools + taxpayers alike. #NHPolitics

newhampshirebulletin.com/2025/05/26/r...

Back-to-back votes, same upside-down priorities: NH Republicans expanded school vouchers to millionaires—then a few minutes later tried to block a bipartisan bill to let low-income seniors in nursing homes keep a few extra dollars each month for basic needs. #NHPolitics
