PS: Despite anything Republicans might say to you about New Hampshire having eliminated taxes...

...property tax is a tax, and it's where all the savings from taxes that Republicans eliminated for their friends and donors end up.

NH’s housing crisis is driving young people away, hurting businesses that can’t hire, and increasing homelessness among older residents.

Only 15% of NH households can afford a median-priced home, leaving fewer with a fair chance to succeed. #NHPolitics

Lawmakers, advocates say high home prices driving young people out of New Hampshire

A new report from New Hampshire Housing shows that the median-priced single-family home in the state is out of reach of most Granite Staters.

Even $100K isn’t enough to make ends meet in NH. Housing, health care + child care costs keep rising while wages lag behind. @nhfpi.bsky.social's new report shows what happens when leaders give tax breaks to the rich instead of investing in working families. #NHPolitics #FightForOurFutureNH

I am against dynasties in an elected, representative government. Don't care which party.

The literacy rate is considerably higher (current resident of 1600 Penn Ave notwithstanding) now than it was during the Adams/Quincy Adams era. So, let's not go there.

Here & now. No dynasties.

DO NOT, not for one single moment, take the 2026 elections for granted.

Do not expect that the Democrats will save us. They are fighting among themselves (and many are also taking big $$).

This will take ALL OF US.

Trump: "We can never let what happened in the 2020 election happen again. We just can't let that happen. I know Kash is working on it, everybody is working on it. And certainly Tulsi is working on it. We can't let that happen again to our country."

There are other rallies, events, calls to make and letters to send. Here in NH, we have something going on nearly every day of the month. Look around. What you find may be smaller, but that doesn't mean it has no impact.

President Trump's talk about importing beef from Argentina has brought some of the first real criticism of him from Farm State Republicans and farm groups - especially cattlemen. He's trying to push back today.
