Part of the reason the public remains ill-informed is because of piss-poor media framing. The framing of this makes it seem as if McDonalds has no choice but to raise prices because of higher costs all around. It took one Google search to discover that McDonalds has raised their

Governor Chris Sununu’s office distributed data Wednesday purportedly showing New Hampshire’s approach to energy policy on his watch has blessed the state by keeping electricity prices relatively low.

Talk to the girls in your life about a career in the trades!

My colleague Amanda Gokee and I took a closer look at the data underlying this tweet and a related press release from the governor's office.
Our finding: Not only were cherries picked. They were muddled.🧵

In New Hampshire, anyone can bring a firearm into the State House.

This is dangerous—especially when potentially armed elected officials threaten to fistfight on the House floor.

registering to vote on e-day after you move + don't have your passport/birth certificate on you? no ballot for you, idiot. (NHGOP's words - not mine)

can not overstate how bad HB 1569 (passed Senate today) + HB1370 (House next week) are for the right to vote.

Today I spoke on the floor to honor a true NH original, the Dean of our State Senate, Lou D’Allesandro.

After 26 years in the State Senate, Lou’s legacy is as much the bills he passed and the laws that bear his name as it is the individuals he has taught, coached, and mentored.

NEW: Statement from House Democratic Leader Matt Wilhelm on near fist-fight that broke out on the floor of the NH House between two Republicans.

“Escalating tempers in the chamber, where we know guns are present, is unproductive and potentially dangerous”

GOP Rep. Cyril Aures from Chichester/Pittsfield yells out “Liar” to GOP Rep. Terry Roy during debate about a gun amendment. Roy confronted him, scuffle ensued, troopers came in, Speaker recessed. All good, but nerves on edge since both of them are likely carrying.
