Veterans from New Hampshire and across the country deserve fighters in Congress.

That’s why I am proud to be a founding member of the Democratic Veterans Caucus, and to be just that.

The Arrest Of A Milwaukee Judge: A Troubling Assault On The Judiciary Watch now | Behind The Headlines With Andrew Weissmann, Vol 4.4.b

I just posted a new video breaking down the troubling arrest of a Milwaukee state court judge — why the case looks legally weak, and how it fits into a broader pattern of attacks on the judiciary. Stay engaged.

“DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars… Not billion. Half a trillion, $500 billion… In other words, in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending.” @joshtpm.bsky.social

The right to vote is the fundamental right from which all our rights flow. I listened closely to the concerns that non-partisan NH election officials raised about the SAVE Act. That’s why I voted against it.

If enacted, it would disenfranchise eligible voters and put election workers at risk.

Questions for my friends at Sullivan & Cromwell LLP:

👉 Are you proud of representing this felon on his criminal appeal?

👉 Why do you think he deserves legal representation when he’s trying to prevent others from getting representation through the corrupt abuse of official power?

Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children.

Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.

“I feel all sleepy,” she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her.

On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Hassan, through tears: "I am the proud mother of a 36 year old with severe cerebral palsy. And a day does not go by when I don't think about what I did I do when I was pregnant with him... So please do not suggest that anybody in this body doesn't want to know what the cause of autism is"

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen says she tried to meet with Pete Hegseth before the confirmation hearing but that he did not ever respond to her request.

"I've been on this committee since 2011 ... Every one of those nominees met with me ... As you can imagine, I was disappointed when no one ever followed up."
