Gov Ayotte received the DHS Economic Impact Report on the Merrimack ICE Facility today.Concerns emerge about its accuracy,as it references Oklahoma, and DHS stated in a Senate hearing today that they spoke with the Governor in January about these plans.#NHPolitics www.governor.nh.gov/sites/g/file...

The illusion of fiscal responsibility persists. The NH GOP has controlled the Governor’s office, state senate, and state house since 2021. State revenues are in decline, and if the trend continues, NH will be $100 M below estimates for the fiscal year. #NHpolitics indepthnh.org/2025/10/03/n...

NH State Revenues Continue to Perform Below Expectations
For the third straight month of the 2026 Fiscal Year, New Hampshire revenues are below estimates and below what was produced last fiscal year in the first quarter.

Today we will hear from victims of Epstein, representing the untold stories of countless survivors of sexual violence worldwide. Every victim deserves safety, compassion, & justice, free from political posturing, cruel fiscal agendas, & hypocritical politicians. #dobetter #nhpolitics
In New Hampshire, the statistics are deeply troubling, with 1 in 4 women experiencing sexual violence. Yet, the New Hampshire GOP has been obstructing critical legislation aimed at prevention, needlessly slashed essential funding for the Sununu Youth Development Center victims fund, and gutted financial support for mental and reproductive healthcare programs across our state. 

Every victim deserves safety, compassion, and justice, free from political posturing, cruel fiscal agendas, and hypocritical grandstanding politicians. #dobetter #nhpolitics #NHdemocrats

The NHGOP will spin this as “a win for NH students”, but it’s nothing more than a windfall for the wealthy.Meanwhile, NH public schools are struggling due to grossly inadequate state funding + millions of federal dollars being withheld. No help in sight for property taxpayers, teachers, or students.
