Jack Ciattarelli speaks proudly about his immigrant roots and his family's American Dream here in New Jersey.

But at a church in Elizabeth, he told children of immigrants that their birthright citizenship, their very claim to that same American Dream, isn't valid.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

This is a terrific piece, with really important insights on the state of defense AI contracting. Here's a tl;dr - but you should read the whole thing!
This year’s NDAA risks repeating past mistakes with a new generation of military contracts. The Department of Defense inspector general has issued more than 20 reports since 1998 documenting contractors overcharging the Pentagon. Weakening acquisition safeguards will not only pave the way for more waste; it also undermines the Pentagon’s ability to discern the proper role of AI and other emerging technologies in filling critical capability gaps, particularly at a time when claims about what these technologies can accomplish do not always stand up to scrutiny.

Republicans are really trying to bankrupt our state, aren’t they? It should come as no surprise that so many of these people pushing for these tax cuts are also business owners.

New Hampshire’s business tax rates have dropped steadily over the last decade. House lawmakers are seeking to make one more reduction to one of those taxes.

A proposal to cut the business enterprise tax from 0.55% to 0.5% is moving ahead to a vote by the full House in January.

Trumpists are going to make up whatever stories they like as casus belli to justify what's coming. It's what authoritarians do.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

If referring to the "pilgrims" one needs to recall that they were so crap, extra states were founded by Exiles and dissented from them :

Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Hampshire were formed in part to be "Not Plymouth".

So - no.

And I doubt he'd recognize the Quakers as 'Christian' enough.

Evangelical pastor Douglas Wilson doesn’t mind if you call him a theocrat. He thinks America began as a Christian nation and should become one again.

He wants a society that acknowledges Jesus’ authority over politics and patriarchal authority in the home.

New Hampshire Supreme Court Justice Anna Hantz Marconi has been found guilty of misusing her position. And the N.H. Supreme Court ruled that the amount the state currently pays per student to public schools is not enough — not by thousands of dollars per student.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

"Trump is best described as living in a fairy tale world, a completely manufactured reality where immigrants and leftists are at war with the government, and he has absolute authority to deal with them as he wishes.

But his statements about Portland and Chicago are completely divorced from reality"
