I’m sure Tulsi Gabbard will resign in protest. She has her principles, right?

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

And the stranger in our midst

I reached senator Shaheen's office at 202-224-2841 this morning. Her aide took my message. I was able to leave a message for Senator Hassan at 202-224-3324 by pressing 1 after her auto-reply finished.

NH House Republicans file a bill, HB1703, requiring even 8 yr olds to register their bikes at $50 per year. NH doesn't even require registration for guns which, by the way, are the leading cause of childhood deaths. The GOP is out of control. #NHPolitics gc.nh.gov/bill_status/...

My power is my vote as a Senator, and I’m not voting to send an extra dollar in funding to ICE/DHS while they trample on Minnesotans like this.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

When federal agents grab people off the street without clear warrants, refuse identification, and disappear them into unmarked vehicles, the word β€œdetention” stops fitting. That’s fear as policy β€” and it demands accountability, not spin.

NH House Cuts Business Tax Rate as State Revenues Slow With the state facing a revenue deficit this fiscal year, the House Thursday approved cutting the rate of the Business Enterprise Tax.

The HB 155 corporate tax cuts will cost $26m a year. That’s $26m taken from funding our towns rely on, for things like education, housing, community services, forcing them to make up the difference by increasing your property taxes.

NH deserves better.

A Killing, a Cover‑Up, and the Country We’re Becoming What we tolerate now will define us.

I’ve spent my career studying how regimes justify the unjustifiable. So when a civilian driver is labeled a β€œdomestic terrorist,” I know what that language is doing β€” building a permission structure for violence. Minneapolis isn’t just a tragedy. It’s a warning. I break it down in my new essay.
