Los Angeles county has a larger population than 40 states. California is absolutely being cheated on representation while low-population states are over represented, in the Senate for example. Let me say that again: LOS ANGELES HAS A LARGER POPULATION THAN 40 STATES.

Is there a more pervasive obstacle to progress than the Martyrdom Trap? When opponents dig into the level of your commitment, they aren't seeking truth; they are shifting the lens from the system to the individual. They know that an individual is powerless without a system of support.

Since 2015, NH Republicans cut taxes for corporations and wealthy investors by as much as $1.45 billion. In that same period, YOUR property taxes went up $1.52 billion. The NHGOP isn’t cutting taxes, they’re just shifting the burden from the state to your town.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

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.

🚨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.
The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows: 
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.

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

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.
