“I did not resign... I never would have left because it was an important job & we were doing a good job at it...the Legislature, with the support of [Ayotte] . . . took my job away.” morally + economically bankrupt leadership. nhpr.org/nh-news/2025-0… #NHPolitics
Ayotte and other elected NH Republicans have taken an historic conflict of interest—and the most sordid actions our state is responsible for—and have somehow come up with a way to make the situation even worse. #NHPolitics nhpr.org/nh-news/2025-0…
Office of the Child Advocate says it has lost nearly half its staff, making it harder to “prevent harm from happening to children.” in an Ayotte/GOP NH, tax cuts for CEOs + Amazon take priority over protecting kids. wmur.com/article/new-ha… #NHPolitics
If we as a state have an unbreakable commitment to protect our most vulnerable citizens, you should protect their right to vote & VETO SB287 which will make it harder for folks with disabilities to participate in our democracy. #NHPolitics
We as a state have an unbreakable commitment to protect our most vulnerable citizens. That’s why I fought for critical services for Granite Staters with developmental disabilities. We protected these programs AND ensured there continues to be NO waitlist.
CBO's new estimate confirms: the Republican reconciliation law includes the largest #SNAP cut in history ($187B or ~20%). It will take food assistance away from more than 2M low-income ppl & cut food benefits for tens of millions more. Some states could even end SNAP entirely.
our millionaire Governor just signed her GOP budget which: ❌strips $51m from DHHS ❌creates new Medicaid income tax on working families up to $280/month that will boot people from their coverage. ❌ stopped school meals for 10k kids she must think we're stupid. #NHPolitics
I asked Gov. @KellyAyotte her reaction to the “Big Beautiful Bill” and if she wants to use state funds to fill holes in New Hampshire social services the bill creates. Here’s the statement her team sent me. Expect a story on how the bill affects New Hampshire soon. #NHPolitics
Let’s be clear: the Republican budget bill rips away health care and clean energy from people just to give tax breaks to billionaires
🚨50+ fee increases🚨 Your next trip to the DMV will cost much more. @KellyAyotte and @NHGOP just raised fees on everything from car/truck/motorcycle/trailer registration to vanity plates and new ID's. #NHPolitics See for yourself:
More from New Hampshire healthcare providers and advocates on the harms of the GOP’s Big, Brutal budget bill ⬇️
compared to before Trump’s “Liberation Day”: 6-packs of 🍻Miller + Coors Light are up 13+% at Walmart cookout gear🍴 is up by $55, or 7.7% 🍔 + 🍦 prices have hit their highest-ever price since CPI data first became available in the 80s. happy 4th🇺🇸 ! #NHPolitics
Senate Republican leaders saw the impacts of the House bill's #Medicaid cuts and decided to make them even crueler. Policymakers should protect people's health care, not cut it.
Granite Staters showed up — we rallied, we called, we met with lawmakers — and we were ignored. This budget protects the wealthy while leaving the rest of us behind. Read our full statement: loom.ly/CmKA0o0 #NHPolitics
Congress is about to pass massive tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the wealthiest Americans. In three states, the richest 1% could gain an average of more than $100,000 worth of tax cuts in just one year. Find your state here:
I am honestly amazed by how horrible this bill is. it simultaneously: 1) explodes the federal deficit 2)cuts taxes for millionaires 3) decimates Medicaid and rural hospitals 4) destroys American energy production it’s literally the worst bill of all time
This bill will create a 500 Gigawatt shortage of electricity and increase prices.
#SNAP cuts in #reconciliation unconscionable. So are the net tax cuts: Senate bill, 69% go to the richest 5th of Americans (2026); 10% go to the middle 5th; 1% go to the poorest 5th. Richest 5% receive 44% of the net tax cuts (2026). Read @iteptweets, itep.org/analysis-of-ta…
richest 1% of Americans: $114b in net tax cuts in '26. middle 20% of taxpayers (20x the # of taxpayers as richest 1%): $56b in net tax cuts. the GOP budget will rob our future just to fatten the fortunes of the billionaire oligarchs + greedy corporations. #NHPolitics
