It was the first time I've ever heard "make a mockery" used in a town meeting.

100% appropriate.

Just spent two hours at a Saturday morning school board deliberative session. It would have been one hour TOPS if not for an antisocial libertarian who's on a mission to be unpopular.

Thanks, Grafton.

#ChrisPappas, a Congressman from #NewHampshire, just spammed me about _his_ Senate campaign, also through #SparkPost, also in violation of their Acceptable Use Policy.
I have sent his staff a response similar to the one I sent Brian Bengs, and also sent a similar complaint to SparkPost.
These fucking politicians who think the rules don't fucking apply to them (certainly the _laws_ don't, they've seen to that by exempting politicians from anti #spam laws!) piss me the hell off.

Oh look- Jason Osborne’s (L-NH) scam textbook company got away with making a whole bunch of kids illiterate. Are we great yet?

The order cited the difficulty of determining educational malpractice in the case that challenged the lack of phonics in reading instruction.

This lying asshole, she wanted us to go to food banks. Her office sent us a list of snap recipient only food banks.
“New Hampshire already acted,” said Gov. Ayotte when asked why the state did not comply with a Trump administration demand to return some of those federal funds.
“My job as governor is to serve the people of New Hampshire,” she said. “That's what I did.”

Ayotte praises state officials for quick distribution of full SNAP benefits amid federal turmoil

The state's stop-gap plan, which provided extra food in partnership with the charitable food system, is ending Friday, Nov. 14.

Of course fuckin Fetterman sided with republicans. Of course. And these women from NH aren’t up for reelection, but Shaheen’s daughter is running. Bill Shaheen represents medical providers who get sued for malpractice so it’s interesting his wife doesn’t care if a whole bunch of people can’t pay for medical care anymore.

Who are the Democrats voting for the government shutdown deal?

A group of Democrats and one Democratic-aligned independent have helped clinch an agreement to end the government shutdown, saying they had secured a vote on the Affordable Care Act subsidies at the center of the standoff.

CNN

I am so deeply irritated that New Hampshire Democrats just aren't going to run a primary for Shaheen's Senate seat next year and have simply blessed Chris Pappas as the nominee.

The NH GOP has done the same thing, which also sucks.

But now I'm getting all these emails about how it's Pappas running against the corporately bought Sununu, and I'm just shaking my head asking, "Does no one remember that Pappas is literally married to a Tech Lobbyist?"

one of the millions of posts to think about when MAGAs and Elon etc. are saying that the left wing are the ones calling for violence

(this was apparently posted to the Libertarian Party's account by Jeremy Kauffman, an infamous race scientist and favourite of #elon. it earned him a visit from the #FBI and/or secret service, which he documented on social media)

#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess

The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to vote

By Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.

"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.

"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.

" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."
