Medicaid matters more than ever for New Hampshire • New Hampshire Bulletin As we mark Medicaid Awareness Month, it’s worth taking a fresh look at what this program means for New Hampshire — not in abstract terms, but in the day-to-day reality of access to care,…

"For many, Medicaid is the difference between accessing care and going without it. For providers, it is a key source of funding that helps keep services available — especially in rural areas." Commentary from Jayme Simões. #NHPolitics

Why three professors changed their minds - Harvard Law School When Nikolas Bowie, Yochai Benkler and Samantha Power hit roadblocks to their beliefs, they pivoted to fresh approaches.

I’ve changed my mind about a lot of things, but talked about why I think law schools need to teach people how to make law and not just litigate under it.

And there it is....

Why Congress is fighting over a central tool of American surveillance Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is responsible for a huge share of intel collected by the U.S. Lawmakers and civil liberties advocates are worried it enables warrantless spying on U.S. citizens.

New Hampshire has a ‘quiet’ new voting restriction, but the intent is loud and clear    • New Hampshire Bulletin The disenfranchisement efforts over the last decade in New Hampshire have been consistent, surgical, and deceitful — sometimes comically so.

"The weakest link in New Hampshire’s election integrity framework is the right’s broad and dishonest assault on voting rights, of which HB 323 is just the latest example." Commentary from @danawormald.bsky.social #NHPolitics

DOJ fires attorneys who prosecuted anti-abortion protestors under Biden The Justice Department is set to release a report Tuesday accusing prosecutors of targeting protesters for their religious beliefs.

At least four Justice Department prosecutors have recently been fired as part of the Trump admin's plan to publicly accuse the Biden admin of unfairly targeting anti-abortion protesters for their religious beliefs, according to two people familiar with the firings and a Justice Dept. spokesperson.

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus?

That was this week.

🎯 Bullseye.

The people are sick of Elite Impunity.

Holding the powerful accountable takes planning, fortitude, speed, volume — and a willingness to lose.

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

A great weekend at The Masters.

HARD FACT: If the Republicans cared even 10% about the 67 allegations of Rape, Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, and other sexual misconduct against Donald Trump as they do about the four allegations against Eric Swalwell, Donald Trump's political career would have ended in 2016

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you doxie weekend photos!

Historically Taxes Are a Reflection of the State of Our Democracy In New Hampshire, the third rail of politics — thanks to people like William Loeb and Meldrim Thomson and now the Americans for Prosperity — is the word tax.

A reminder that in NH, GOP majority politicians who can afford to spend six months a year in Concord for $100 a year plus mileage decide get to decide who pays taxes and how much. The wealthy and big corporations? Not so much. But you? Get out your wallet. #NHPolitics indepthnh.org/2026/04/04/h...

Congress cannot wait until Trump’s deadline to find out if he was merely bluffing about committing a genocide in Iran. The statement itself is impeachable. The threat to do war crimes is impeachable.

That’s the best case. The worst is he follows through.

He must be stopped. He must be removed.

Two weeks to remove him. Now.
