A few weeks ago we might have speculated that this is probably the work of Project 2025, Stephen Miller, and Mango Mussolini. After the GOP Congress lined up behind the recision bill though, it’s now clear that this is indeed what our government did, and what MAGA voted for.
the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that
The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact

THIS. My spouse and I discuss THIS all the time. My naïveté was stunning when in 2015 I thought “We just need to explain, using historical examples, why an orange administration is a bad idea”. There is a significant minority that has no interest in being persuaded and they can run the table.
Today I will be spending my time reflecting on how I spent most of my life not understanding that around 20-25% of the population of the earth are fascists and whether it is even possible to build a society that gives people who have no desire to share their world with the other 75-80% agency.

And this doesn't even mention the DOZENS of NH dams classified as "high hazard" - meaning they are in a condition that will likely cause death if they do not get repaired. Another consequence of GOP tax cuts. #NHPolitics

Has anyone asked Governor Kelley Ayotte how she plans to fund a NH State Emergency Management Agency (NHSEMA?) now that Kristi Noem has told us this is a state responsibility?
Perhaps a state rep can raise it in the House or Senate?

Republicans claim it’s a “tight budget year.”
In reality, over the past decade they've handed hundreds of millions to the ultra-wealthy—and now they’re downshifting the cost onto your property taxes.

The problem with the Republican cuts? They Cut You - and your priorities - Out.
Even where Democrats fought - and won - we’re still worse off than before. That’s the legacy of this budget - moving backwards and driving up the cost of housing, childcare, healthcare, and energy. #nhpolitics

The one thing you can count on is if the NH legislature is doing it, it WILL NOT benefit the average NH resident.
The Republican Medicaid Income Tax will drive up already sky-high health care costs for New Hampshire families—hitting those who can least afford it the hardest.
It’s not reform. It’s a cruel cost shift. #nhpolitics

Removing a Pride Month promo feels worse than not even having one.
It just emphasizes that we have a government that is bigoted

The state agency in charge of promoting tourism in New Hampshire deleted a social media post celebrating Pride Month, after receiving pushback from some Republicans.
The move has angered LGBTQ activists, who accuse the state of wavering on its commitment to inclusion.

ICE was created post 9/11 to combat terrorist threats. If they aren't combatting the number one terror threat to America - Domestic Violent Extremism and white supremacists - then they don't need to exist as an agency.

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.
