Speaker Condemns Rep. Corcoran Targeting Jewish Colleague, But No Sanction Known for his racist commentary, Travis Corcoran is at it again, this time suggesting on Twitter that Jewish Rep. Jessica Grill, D-Manchester. should be killed in a “final solution.”

A day after removing Dem Rep. Wendy Thomas from her committee for apparently being what Republicans fear most—an outspoken woman weary of GOP cruelty and mismanagement—the response to this guy is apparently a strongly-worded press release? #NHPolitics indepthnh.org/2026/03/11/s...

How New Hampshire’s House majority leader is leading Republicans’ backward charge • New Hampshire Bulletin The architect of New Hampshire’s current Republican legislative agenda, House Majority Leader Jason Osborne, seems to have a different perspective on the concept of local control, among other things.

“The future that New Hampshire Republicans are marketing is not exactly the stuff dreams are made of.” #NHPolitics newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/03/11/h...

After causing the problem by jamming hundreds of bills into the House calendar over the next two days, Republican autocrats start the day by passing a motion to limit (aka stifle) debate 165-141 on ALL BILLS. This is what abuse of power looks like. #NHPolitics

NH Rep. Wendy Thomas Removed from House Committee, Unclear Why Michael Vose, R-Epping, wouldn't say why Thomas was removed referring the question to House Speaker Sherman Packard, R-Londonderry.

Rep. Wendy Thomas is NH House GOP leadership’s worst nightmare: a strong woman who shows up, doesn’t tolerate fools, fights with passion and smarts—and somehow finds ways to win, including the recent cancellation of an ICE concentration camp in her town. #NHPolitics indepthnh.org/2026/03/09/r...

'The center of NH political thought': Free Staters celebrate successes at Liberty Forum House Majority Leader Jason Osborne called on Free State Project members to embrace a practical approach to politics during the three-day gathering in Concord.

So in return for a new crop of Gold Star parents, skyrocketing prices, deflated retirement accounts, and the threat of WWIII—the Trump/Kegs-Breath idea of “regime change” is the enthronement of the Iranian version of Don Jr.? www.cnn.com/world/live-n...

State Senate votes down bill to protect medical providers offering abortions The shield law would have protected doctors from out-of-state litigation if they provided reproductive health services to people from outside New Hampshire.

Bill to bar student ID cards to prove voter identity heads to Ayotte’s desk • New Hampshire Bulletin New Hampshire Senate Republicans passed a bill Thursday to bar high school and college students from using their institution’s identification cards to vote, sending the measure to Gov. Kelly Ayotte’s ...

There is no truth to the rumor that the motto “Live Free or Die” on NH license plates will soon be replaced by “1st in Voter Suppression”. But it would definitely fit the state’s vibe under Republican control. #NHPolitics newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/03/05/b...

Distant Dome: Do You Know What Your Legislator Is Doing? Some time in the future, people will look back at the first six years of this decade and wonder what drug lawmakers were on when they passed these laws.

And maybe they’ll also wonder how voters kept getting bamboozled into giving majorities to people on a mission of destruction, misogyny, and racism. #NHPolitics indepthnh.org/2026/03/07/d...

An income tax was proposed in New Hampshire — and you’ll never guess what happened next • New Hampshire Bulletin On Tuesday, a longtime advocate for public school funding in New Hampshire gamely touched the third rail of New Hampshire politics: a state income tax.

“The problem for Democrats each November is that ‘We play defense and tread lightly!’ is not exactly an inspiring campaign slogan…Sometimes you have to boldly fight for something, too.” #NHPolitics newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/03/04/a...

Republicans vote to end use of school IDs for NH elections The New Hampshire House and Senate have approved a bill ending the use of college and high school identification cards for residents seeking to obtain a ballot at the polls.

The awesome thing about “solving” imaginary problems if you’re an elected NH Republican? You distract people from your piss poor record when it comes to housing, childcare, public education, ballooning property taxes, and basic human rights. #NHPolitics www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2026...

Analysis: The rationale for striking Iran was already a mess. Trump just made it worse. | CNN Politics The Trump administration’s stated justifications for going to war with Iran were already a jumbled and self-contradictory mess before the president’s latest comments Tuesday.

Does Troy approve of ICE partnership? Town meeting vote will tell At Troy's annual town meeting March 11, a petition warrant article asks if the town approves of the Troy Police Department's agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

‘It’s just un-American’: ICE’s mass detention centers runs into resistance — including from Republicans - The Boston Globe This week New Hampshire Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte successfully lobbied the government to keep a new detention center out of her state.
