@npr @nhpr As the Queen of Metrics, I LOVED the explainer on correlation v. causation. My "go to" example is Eyder Peralta who is always covering the latest outbreak of hostilities or crisis. Causation would suggest that he was fomenting war & disasters. Correlation meant he was a brave reporter.

Can't wait to hear what @danpfeiffer.bsky.social and Pollercoaster thinks about this polling "error." New Yorkers Support Free Buses, but They Don’t Think It Should Happen www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...

@danpfeiffer.bsky.social seems like this might go down well with travelers: Trump admin will drop plan to require airlines to compensate passengers & cover expenses for lengthy delays/ cancellations that would have guaranteed passengers $200-$775 & free meals, lodging and rebookings

There is something morally repugnant about hearing fighter jets "practicing" for an airshow in Portsmouth NH given what it costs to fuel & fly those things. Then hearing the @nhpr.org story about school kids having to do fundraisers to pay off their school's debt. Where are our priorities?

good advice for Dems going forward open.substack.com/pub/messageb...

Mockler: They say that they oppose it at a 79% rate, 61% of them feel less safe… So the question that I then want to ask is, why don't we mobilize the National Guard to the eight out of ten red states that are the highest homicide states?

Would love to hear what @danpfeiffer.bsky.social about the results of this study and the implications for the 2026 and 2028 elections: slate.com/technology/2....

I hope @danpfeiffer.bsky.social is right! How Trump's Plan to Ban Mail Voting Could Cost the GOP the House www.messageboxnews.com/p/how-trumps...

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Someone explain this to me: Does mean that neo-nazis love both Trump and Epstein or hate both of them.? @maddow.msnbc.com @podsaveamerica.crooked.com @jonfavs.bsky.social www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025... --

@nhpr.org I could listen to a Joe Boehnlein music show every day Just catching up on the latest Request show & it is fabulous. A perfect antidote to all the bad news of the day. Instead of doomscrolling, I'm dancing around my kitchen with a smile on my face singling along to the lyrics.

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com @danpfeiffer.bsky.social have these guys such short memories that they've forgotten what happened when Biden insisted on running? www.axios.com/2025/07/31/h...

To all the octogenarians hanging on to their seats for dear life, I have a little advice: Have you forgotten what happened when Biden insisted on running? www.axios.com/2025/07/31/h...

This is an irresistible headline, and the story is well worth the read -- I do wonder how his friends and family will feel when they read the story: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-boy-ge...

So Trump gets his new plane, and we get a greater risk of nuclear silos disintegrating? Seems like the art of the really bad deal to me @podsaveamerica.crooked.com @npr.org

I joined staff and residents of Hillsborough County Nursing Home to hear directly from them about how the Big, Ugly Law jeopardizes their services and care. I will continue working to protect health care access and other essential programs for New Hampshire families and seniors.

What part of "defunding public media is a terrible idea" don't they understand. There's data to prove it: cpb.org/pressroom/Ne...

I asked my SEO guru @gregjarboe.bsky.social to figure out why the sources of my website traffic had changed so much. What he found out was the attribution is becoming far more elusive:

Funding agreed to by both parties to support vital public TV and radio could be cut. If Republicans continue to rubber-stamp Trump's agenda, what will be next?

Got to love the way Something Wild sums up this deciduous tree: Beech, for all its beauty and appeal, is kind of the “Rodney Dangerfield” of the northern forest. Its timber doesn’t have a ton of value, and deer and bear avoid eating the saplings, preferring to graze on maple or birch.

Before I head back to D.C. to again vote no on the Republican budget scheme, I’m hearing directly from New Hampshire health care workers at Dartmouth Health on the negative impact that cuts to Medicaid would have on their work and people’s ability to access care.
