In dictatorships, kings don't follow the law, they make it.
In America, no one is above the law, and everyone is entitled to it.
In New Hampshire, we love liberty and we're fighting for it.

Just saw that §§ 9 & 10 of Art. 1 of the Constitution, which includes Habeas Corpus, have been deleted from Congress' website:

We're going to need '26 Federal candidates that don't just believe in the Constitution, but will fight for every word.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.
She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

For the past 20 years together, we always saw love before our differences. When we saw our differences, we knew they made our love greater. Celebrating #LovingDay today with everyone who saw the same thing.

Veterans are the most powerful messengers of what #MemorialDay should mean to every American, and we are grateful to have the Hollis VFW leading the town today as we remember those who gave their lives to our country.

NRPC hosted their 40th Annual Forum tonight, highlighting current housing development dynamics. It was great to be with former NH House colleagues, and Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander, as we discussed the numbers behind NH's housing shortage and how badly we need to turn them around.

Hello?
NH House holding a "crossover" session today (for bills from the "other body"), after which there'll be a #MayDay protest outside at 5PM. My livepost thread starts here. #NHPolitics hashtag goes once at the top of the thread here; voice votes sometimes go by too quickly to comment on.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President.
Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional.
They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.
1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.
