Wrong way drivers causing accidents in MA makes me wonder if authorities are looking into the possibility that drivers had recently be drinking a local bar? Articles never mention evidence like this.

CspanWJ Fran NH Do the R’s in Washington understand how concerned voters are about conditions in ICE facilities! Are they more willing to follow POTUS than listen to the concerns of voters?

@60minutes.bsky.social as a mom at 40 I wouldn’t recommend it. At that age my attitude of play w a little one was quite different than a mom in her early 20’s. Having other little ones in the neighborhood helps too!

The Disappearing Islands www.marketplace.org/episode/2024...

Luxury home sales on the seacoast in the UL today. I seem to recall that means that the value of homes in the area will be revalued to a much higher price meaning their property tax will rise thus forcing some to be unable to afford their homes. Terrible system!

Glad to see a comment in Kevin Landrigan’s UL article on open enrollment stated Rep Peggy Balboni’s concern of discrimination because parents would be responsible for their child’s transportation. This would be a big concern in rural areas.

Curious why so much political advertising is going to tv ads since we know that many Americans aren’t watching tv anymore! Isn’t that audience our aging population?

Interesting no one brings up that the open enrollment proposed in NH make no mention that it’s discriminatory. Why? Because students will not be bussed but rather they’ll one responsible for getting to their new school. Could be relatively easy in metropolitan areas but not in the rural areas!

@wmur9.bsky.social terrific Chronicle Monday night featuring talented young NH people who have made it to Broadway!

Coming up shortly on CSPAN3 is a report on the hantavirus from World Health Organization.The 8:30 guest Dr Celine Grounder on CSPAN WJ reports that the U.S. health agencies are so broken that they are basically are little help.

Wondering when women will return to short, well managed hairstyles.

NH Republicans will have a chance to show their contempt for of any legislative proposal the institute an income tax this week. This, despite the fact that the U.S. Census Bureau ranks us as one of the 10 wealthiest states in America!

Perfect example of why guns should be highly controlled. Man in Boston shooting randomly. At least 2 hospitalized w serious injuries!

@wmur9.bsky.social isn’t it interesting that the highway report frequently showing slowdowns on I93 and Rt 3 and never on I95? What the difference?

Hope the anti public school people read about the successful trip to Texas by 11 high school STEM teams! Congrats to the Salem Blue Devils and all others who participated! A great accomplishment!

Has anyone written a piece on what will happen to the thousands of people locked up in detention centers? Are they going to be held in inhumane conditions for years? Is there any effort to find out who’s detained illegally and could be released?

How crazy is it for the NH State Senate to propose a business tax cut when the state is struggling to pay its bills?

@cspanwj.bsky.social Fran, NH I’m very concerned with the conditions on the stranded ships in the straights. Do we know if supplies are reaching all of them? Otherwise there could be crews dying!

Who’s in charge of the NH gambling $ that are doled out to charitable organizations? I understand that no organization is supposed to be totally supported by the shared funds but who’s minding the store?

If, by any chance the T admin wanted to redeem itself they could start by releasing people from the detention camps. Start w those in the U.S. legally. Then those under the age of 18, the frail elderly, those w chronic illness, those who can go back to their jobs.

Wow CSPAN was right there and is reporting from the floor! I hear there’s poor internet connection but still got a lot of info!

Are you as fearful as I am of the upcoming appointment of a new Fed Chair by DT?

@cspanwj.bsky.social Fran NH How do the Dems cause high new home prices? No comment on the profiteering by suppliers of lumber, plumbing, electrical and realtors? Just the Dems?

@wmur9.bsky.social 4:30 News has NO NH news unless you count the weather. Absolutely pathetic! Clean air in Maine? PA blind library?

@cspanwj.bsky.social Fran T what often happens when taxes are cut is that public schools receive less funding and children suffer the consequences. Certainly not a positive result!

The rising cost of jet fuel is not a good sign for the world economy. Some airlines are already cutting flights. Not at all good for the European economy!

@concordmonitornews.bsky.social MyTurn reminded me of the visit we had by the local credit union talking about how save. My impression was that quite a few students had no idea about what banks do! So, here’s a suggestion for a local bank to offer a class visit to explain the services they perform.

Can’t understand whey we can’t get footage from inside some of the detention centers of what’s going on!

@paulfeeley.bsky.social Amazed and horrified by today’s article in the UL! I’d like to know how other states treat kids who are incarcerated. Sununu center sounds more like a prison and some reported treatment sounds more severe than what adults would receive.

Op Ed in today’s UL by Di Lothrop accusing the No Kings event in Concord a “staged” event! I’ll correct Di and say it was a “well publicized event “. People of all ages, religions and political stripes, gathered together to protest a president of the United States, who is acting like a king!

lol. I don’t know who Alex Jones’ guest is, but it sounds like he’s been listening to the Daily Beans. Impeachment is easier than 25A, and we should just Truman Show his ass. 😂🤣 Fuck these dudes for not listening to us years ago.

Today’s Union Leader: ALL supporters of NH public schools should read today’s editorial by Reps Luneau and Damon! We have big problems with the leadership in state right now who seem to think that shrinking funding our schools is a good idea!

Union leader oped by Tom Sherman is correct about this Open Enrollment plan but there’s another form of discrimination in the bill too. There’s no suggestion that transportation will be provided meaning that many kids wouldn’t be able to GET to the school even if the are accepted.

@nhpr.org Josh Rogers got interesting comments from the public. Actually think maybe our delegation needs to communicate the successes they have despite being in the minority. Those watching Facebook will see Maggie Goodlander doing a good job reaching out.

@cspanwj.bsky.social FranTaylor I’m sure the President will make every effort to make himself the focus if attention for the nation’s 250th. Expect he’ll try to be star at the parade in D.C. Let’s plan on a boycott!

Medical Examiner Rules That a Rohingya Refugee’s Death Was a Homicide www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/n... Even axe murderers get better treatment!

Anyone else wonder if ICE will remain at airports because management can’t think where else to assign them? How about sending them home to their families?

It’s painful for me and likely many others to hear Sec Hegseth speak as though he knows what he’s talking about. Notice how he sticks to his script written by those who, with some hope, know what they’re talking about.

@cspanwj.bsky.social FranT: at every voting location concerns about voter intimidation is a huge issue. That’s why no one should want/allow non local armed officers anywhere near voting locations!

Reading Opinion in UL by Stull and Schneller. I looked up cost of small reactor. Suggests $1B or more. Where would that $ come from? Sounds like big dreams and empty pockets!

@nytimes.com so gov says ICE may stay at some airports even though TSA has received funding? Has it occurred to authorities that ICE isn’t trained for screening? Maybe instead ICE should be offered training to become inspectors? They’d get a decent job and get away from harassing people!

@indepthnh.bsky.social reports that 51 towns had NO KINGS gatherings!!

@cspanwj.bsky.social from FranT: as a Christian how do feel about the treatment of people, young and old, in detention centers?

@cspanwj.bsky.social I pray for the day that Pete Hegseth is gone from public office!

No Kings in Concord NH

Love to see UL do an in-depth article on “charitable” gaming in NH. I recall that the system is supposed to prevent a receiving organization from being able to rely on the money for regular operations and to assure many get a chance to participate.

Reading Kevin Kandrigan in the UL I’m interested that polls show John E Sununu equal w Pappas in Emerson College survey. Who even knows who John E is except that it’s a familiar name. I guess he’s waiting to start his campaign and tell us if his goals will include working w an unhinged POTUS?

A sad day! www.facebook.com/share/r/1CyE...
