Nothing like being lectured to about work ethic by people who work less than anyone I have ever known and who have full healthcare benefits.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

New Hampshire is in the top 5 states that have 25 percent of their population residing in "pharmacy deserts". in some areas the nearest store is 25-30 miles away. #Healthcare #NHPolitics #NHLiving www.keenesentinel.com/business/clo...

What do Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Comcast, Meta, and HP have in common? They all once pledged to stop donations to anyone who tried to overturn the 2020 election. And now they're all donors to Trump's White House ballroom. https://popular.info/p/these-corporations-stopped-worrying

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions. These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water. AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

Some myths about the economy are like zombies — they just keep crawling back. Here are the three that eat at me the most. https://youtu.be/j3vbYwZecFU?si=ru-0S4-LC-_N1C5m

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds. He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month. He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

Car insurance rates are up 55% over the last five years. www.npr.org/2025/10/30/n...

Good morning. ☕️ ICYMI: Trump has now forced more than 211,000 people out of their federal jobs. A near-decimation of the federal workforce in nine months. Biggest losses at Defense Dept and Treasury. “He is, in essence, taking our government to bankruptcy.” www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The USDA has a contingency plan to keep SNAP running during a government shutdown — but the document laying out that plan has been deleted from the agency’s website. www.notus.org/trump-white-...

The Great Trump Depression. He alone caused it.

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities? TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Even $100K isn’t enough to make ends meet in NH. Housing, health care + child care costs keep rising while wages lag behind. @nhfpi.bsky.social's new report shows what happens when leaders give tax breaks to the rich instead of investing in working families. #NHPolitics #FightForOurFutureNH

I am against dynasties in an elected, representative government. Don't care which party. The literacy rate is considerably higher (current resident of 1600 Penn Ave notwithstanding) now than it was during the Adams/Quincy Adams era. So, let's not go there. Here & now. No dynasties. #NHpolitics

Changpeng Zhao, the billionaire founder of crypto exchange Binance, received a pardon after months of boosting a crypto venture owned by President Donald Trump's family.

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

DO NOT, not for one single moment, take the 2026 elections for granted. Do not expect that the Democrats will save us. They are fighting among themselves (and many are also taking big $$). This will take ALL OF US. Independents: #RiseUp We are more than any party. #Resist #Persist #NHpolitics

Farm state Republicans are appalled by President Trump's plan to import beef from Argentina, saying it will punish U.S. cattle ranchers. This is from Sen. Deb Fischer R-Nebraska.

President Trump's talk about importing beef from Argentina has brought some of the first real criticism of him from Farm State Republicans and farm groups - especially cattlemen. He's trying to push back today.
