If this leaked Signal chat is verified, I join Rep. David Luneau in calling this shocking, disgusting, and unAmerican. I’ll add this bigoted and ugly idea has been unconstitutional for decades. 1/2 #NHPolitics granitepostnews.com/2026/01/14/l...

So-called Right-To-Work legislation was defeated in the New Hampshire House on Thursday, dealing a major win to Democrats and labor unions and a considerable loss to state Republicans and governor Kelly Ayotte. #NHPolitics

New from me: Today NH House Republicans withdrew a 15-week abortion ban bill after public backlash and internal GOP pressure. NH Dems warn: "NH Republicans aren’t done attacking reproductive rights." #NHPolitics granitepostnews.com/2025/01/27/n...

Anyone who claims to be surprised by this is also likely to be surprised when they learn zebras have stripes, jackals are carnivores, and skunks spray.

This could prove to be an early crucial test for incoming Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte, given her oft-repeated promise to hold the line against any further restrictions on abortion. It’s often your own party that can cause the biggest political headaches under unified government. #NHPolitics

Despite spending big on ads in 2024 promising they wouldn't, NH Republicans have filed multiple 2025 bills to restrict abortion rights, including a travel ban and mandatory anti-abortion curriculum in schools. #NHPolitics granitepostnews.com/2024/12/11/n...

Indeed. In 2022, former Free State Project board member Jeremy Kauffman said the quiet part out loud, describing NH's school choice program as "a stepping stone towards reducing or eliminating state involvement in schools" & acknowledging that "the entire program is run by Free Staters." #NHPolitics

After campaigning on dubious claims that Democrats would raise taxes, one top New Hampshire Republican staffer is now floating a state sales tax — a move that would hit low-income Granite Staters hardest. #NHPolitics granitepostnews.com/2024/12/04/t...

Not mentioned in the article: the potential impact of yet another GOP effort to reduce the business enterprise tax, which will likely have a negative impact on revenues—and lead to more downshifting to property taxpayers. newhampshirebulletin.com/2024/12/02/b...

Intoxicated with post-election endorphins, NH’s leading odious subsidized-by-billionaires right-wing blog has apparently decided to go hard after Jeanne Shaheen. Her vote to block arms sales to Israel came the same day NPR reported the Israeli military is using killer drones on civilians in Gaza.

Reminder: only 36% of the $27.7M in NH vouchers are for students switching from public school to priv/homeschool 64% is spent on students ALREADY NOT in public school 🔈The data speaks volumes🔈 Vouchers are more often used to funnel public $ to private hands www.bostonglobe.com/2024/11/15/m...
bostonglobe.com
Look closer at the latest Education Freedom Account growth in N.H. - The Boston Globe
Hundreds of students typically join the voucher-like program after the beginning of each school year, so if that pattern continues, enrollment could grow by another 10 percent.
