I kind of think liberals should start repeatedly saying, “you cant say ‘merry christmas’ now. Could under Biden, not anymore” and just repeat it over and over.
Thats literally what they do. Truth be damned.

Both of NH’s congressional delegates should be roundly criticized for their Laken Riley Act, which set up ICE’s policies…
But especially @repchrispappas.bsky.social , who wants even more power as a Senator

Both our senators initiated the death knell of the ACA, but its also on the rest of the Dems for never pushing to a single payer/medicare for all (which has similar approval ratings)
Any candidate that doesn’t run on health care for all should be ignored.

Support for the ACA tax credits has reached an all-time high of 57%, including 63% among independents.
There’s still time to find a solution and prevent premiums from skyrocketing. My Republican colleagues should heed this Gallup poll and join with us to extend the tax credits.

I have a lot of questions… the 14th amendment case is wild, because you could potentially have people who have lived here 60-70+ years (after being born here) who are not citizens?
And what about their kids and grandkids? If you are no longer American, are they?

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

Knew that it would be bad, but the murder of the national guard seemed to signal “lets have a cross burning media blitz” response.
Fox News' Will Cain: "I’m sure there are very honorable law-abiding upstanding citizens and contributors from the Somali community here in the United States, BUT..."

Despite being at capacity and having a waitlist, The Growing Years and other early childhood education centers in New Hampshire are struggling to stay afloat. Even centers in the state’s more populated areas are finding it difficult to make ends meet.

At first glance, The Growing Years Early Childhood Center in Manchester doesn’t look like it’s financially struggling. The parking lot is full, and the hallways are loud with the sounds of infants…
