The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

At least Trump is going into this with an open mind as a positive and optimistic unifier of the American people.

New Hampshire Rep. Maggie Goodlander joined five other Democratic lawmakers with military or intelligence backgrounds in an online video Tuesday to advise members of the U.S. armed forces that they should refuse to carry out “illegal orders.”
Goodlander is among Democratic lawmakers urging military to reject 'illegal orders'
The video message comes as Democrats criticize President Trump's use of the National Guard in American cities and military strikes against Venezuelan drug cartels.

"U.S. firms clamped down on purchases...as tariffs went into effect in August, after months of stockpiling that had filled their store rooms and warehouses."

So, that moderate dip in Aug is only hinting at the actual sales decline that's been hidden by corporate stockpiling since April. ✔️
Shocking to ...well, no one, who actually understands tariffs and trade wars and predicted this avoidable disaster.

In NH if you don't claim the impounded vehicle quickly the tow company can sell it to recoup its costs. And if the sale price is lower than the bill they can get your license suspended, too.

We tried to at least end the license suspension part last month and were rebuffed.

NEW—US Park Police w/ DHS officers near DC are increasingly pulling over Black and brown men, leaving their work vans on the side of the parkway + immediately calling a local towing company to take them. Families who just lost their breadwinner are stuck with the bill.

I was a @shaheen.senate.gov supporter. Tried to give benefit of the doubt early on when we gave to the 🇵🇸 genocide. Was so proud of her speech to our new citizens on 7/4. Have not felt so betrayed in a long time.

@heathhowardnh.com for Congress!

One of the saddest things in #NHPolitics is seeing how willing Dem party leadership that has passed its expiration date is to eat its young, live in the past, and bargain away values they keep telling us they share. But at a minimum of $150/ticket, this is what you get. www.wmur.com/article/sen-...

I asked @shaheen.senate.gov a very simple question: why did you vote for it?
Her response was to ask what I've done to protect healthcare.
When I get elected, I'll show you how it's done.
We need universal healthcare and I'll do everything in my power to fight for it.

You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trump’s pocket.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.
