I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

New Hampshire has no real voice in the Senate right now. Neither of our Senators show any interest in hearing from Granite Staters — only in talking at us. Hold a town hall @hassan.senate.gov Representation requires listening, and we aren’t getting that.

@robertmays.bsky.social My best friend, Tom Byrne, died in a car accident Sun at 33, driving home to catch the 12 o’clock games. A die-hard Bears fan, his sharp/contrarian takes reminded me so much of you I called you “Podcast Tom.” Your pod will always help me feel close to him.

@senatorhassan.govpeeps.us I have been contacting your office weekly asking for you to have a town hall in the state of New Hampshire and I continue to get nowhere. Why are you avoiding your constituents?

Guess Racism is back! #NFL #TrumpsAmerica #SuperBowl

@minakimes.bsky.social I’m listening to the pod now, and I’m confused how you’re argument for the @atlantafalcons.bsky.social winning the NFC south seems to simply be based on their strength of schedule when the @tampabaybuccaneers.bsky.social have an easier schedule and only need to pickup one game

capitalism has ruined the true meaning of black friday

I think the Bucs roll this week! Start your Buccaneers in fantasy.
