Progress!!! Mandatory lot minimums is so 1990. Note: you can do septic and well on a .75 acre lot. 2 acres is still almost 2 football fields, and frankly a LOT of maintenance. Let's call this an incremental win. 👏 #NHPolitics

For years, family planning funds have had bipartisan support to fight poverty and boost public health. Now, Republicans are slashing funds that keep NH’s rural clinics open—often the only care option for low-income families. #NHPolitics

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

Greed, bullying, obsessively cruelty to the most vulnerable, initiated & abetted by cowards.

This is not The United States of America.

Heads up, Flu season 2025-26 is going to take way more lives than past years. Why? Because we aren't even TRYING to get a jump with a vaccine to protect those most at risk of infection. #DoBetterCDC

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

The wealthy commit fraud WAY MORE than the rest of us do. They also serve WAY LESS time in prison.

Do homes really need 2-acre lots? Spoiler alert: No. - The Boston Globe Local zoning codes impose unnecessary rules that drive up housing costs. A new report recommends the state overrule them.

Heads up NH: 2+ acre lots in NH are not the answer to our housing crisis either.

This is the most dangerous move yet The canary is gasping for air

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

NH Republicans introduce bill allowing trans people to be banned from bathrooms, locker rooms • New Hampshire Bulletin A group of Republicans are again trying to pass a bill to keep transgender people out of bathrooms and sports teams that align with their gender identity.

Ignoring real problems like housing, childcare, and education funding while igniting endless culture wars and promoting pitchforks-and-torches bills that demonize people who can’t fight back. That’s today’s Republican’t Party in a nutshell. #NHPolitics newhampshirebulletin.com/2025/02/20/n...

Opinion: New Hampshire chooses willful ignorance instead of preparing for climate impacts Rep. Tony Caplan is a third-term Democratic legislator representing Merrimack 8, the towns of Henniker, Bradford and Warner. He is on the House Science, Technology and Energy Committee.

NH deserves leaders who face reality—not feign willful ignorance.

Rep. @tonycaplan.bsky.social’s HB 106 would have prepared us for the real costs of climate change, but NH GOP chose junk science and misinformation instead. NH deserves better. #NHPolitics

NH child care shortage costs families thousands, impacts economy In 2023, working families lost approximately $178 million in wages because they couldn't find child care and had to take time off from work.

This issue remains a huge inhibitor to NH’s economic growth. Businesses need employees to grow and parents need childcare to work. Not to mention good schools and an affordable place to live. #NHPolitics www.wmur.com/article/nh-c...

Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)

If Lyons from DOJ got spanked any harder, the hearing would be rated NC-17 and illegal to stream in 22 states.

Just remember, the time between an apparent decisive victory (the destruction of the first Death Star) & an actual decisive victory (the destruction of the second Death Star) was 4 years, during which most of the time life sucked for everyone because the Empire was striking back all over the place.

Respectfully, Rep. Jeffrey Turco (D), we’ve tried “asking nicely” and offering incentives to suburbs to allow more housing for half a century…

Get 10 packets of lettuce/kale and other leafy greens you like to eat. Plant 10 seeds a week, one from each pack, in a planter with good soil. Water them when they look dry but at least 1x/wk when you add seeds. Voila! Starting in 4-6 weeks, you have a daily salad!

It's happening! Hundreds of people gathering in Concord for #NotMyPresidentsDay.
