Congratulations to Prudence Krecklow of Rye Jr. High School for her election to the 2026 NH Kid Executive Council! Elected statewide by her peers she will serve for the next year.Nominated by her teacher Denise Wheeler-a treasure. Rep Peggy Balboni & I are thrilled for her new beginning! #nhpolitics
At 1:40pm tomorrow I’m introducing SB623 the “Granite State No Anonymity in Immigration Act”. All NH law enforcement that engage in immigration enforcement [through a 287(g) mou] should prominently display badges & names, keep body cams rolling & no masks. Please support at gc.nh.gov #nhpolitics
Hot take: Morgan Wallen is a jerk with mediocre (at best) talent and forgettable music. I genuinely do not understand the draw. 🤷🏼♀️
I used to have a twitter troll & who I actually have to work with now. I left twitter a long while ago because I’m allergic to Nazi sympathizers. Nonetheless, I’ve been told this person hasn’t let go of trying to troll me. So, if I live rent free in their head, can I update the shitty furniture?
Waiting to testify on the NH state budget as the hearing goes into hour 8. The irresponsible tax cuts now need to be paid for & it can’t be on the backs of vulnerable children, sexual abuse survivors, Medicaid recipients & public schools. Let’s make better choices. #nhpolitics
This is nine kinds of bullshit. I’m not the only one here with an elderly disabled parent who doesn’t own a computer and physically can’t use a cell phone, right? The cruelty of this administration knows no bounds.
For goodness sake STOP putting Sununu on TV. Between him & K. Leavitt they make NH look like we’re all idiots. Every-time one of them opens their mouth it’sa #SMH moment. #nhpolitics
Sununu: Congress doesn't want them to get touched. Americans will accept it… Let’s move the retirement age. 62 or 64 or whatever it is? That’s insane. No young person thinks retirement should be in their mid 60s
Things I still don’t regret walking away from: *The Washington Post *All nighters *Any fruit besides blueberries baked into pancakes
We took to the streets in Exeter & Portsmouth NH today, thousands strong. People are pissed off - rightfully so. There is not one single American who can afford to sit on the sidelines, RISE UP! #nhpolitics
The NH State Senate GOP are focused on dismantling neighborhood schools, banning books from libraries, giving huge tax breaks to out of state casino owners & corporations & blaming all social problems on transgender people & immigrants. @nhsenatedems.bsky.social are fighting all of this. Join us.
Dreary NH Monday morning calls for a rainbow bagel.
I may be identifying to closely to a Progressive insurance commercial, I’m out walking my dog and leaning into my neighbor’s car to chat featuring for other cars to “go around”. Am I my parents?
I’m a NH State Senator fighting (literally) every damn day for reproductive rights, tax $ to stay in public schools not vouchers, property tax relief & protecting our transgender people from attack. Gavin Newsom can go to hell w/your new “Bro-cast” BS. You aren’t helping anyone, at all. Sit down.
Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment. Hello?
Millions of dollars spent to make America think transgender people are a threat, it was never going to end there. Women who voted for this horror show thinking your proximity to power made to safe & powerful: do you understand now that the leopards will always eat your face?! Link arms everyone!
Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.
Predator-In-Chief takes down critical healthcare information from OUR government websites. All the info still exists and so do transgender people. I will not normalize othering transgender people I n our communities out of existence, please stand with me. 🇺🇸🏳️⚧️
This is my US Senator, she is, by reputation the most even keeled member of the Senate, today she unleashed and I could not be more proud. Resistance is everywhere. 🔥 www.instagram.com/reel/DFd1tmu...

Remember when Elon bought Twitter, fired everyone, destabilized his company then scrambled to get them back when things fell apart? Flash forward: Trump sends out EO on hiring freeze destabilized Federal agencies. Then OMB says “take a buyout-your job may be eliminated anyway”. 1/4
Friends, the transgendered people in our communities are under a genuine threat. Republicans are genuinely terrorizing transgender & setting precedent/normalize in demonizing them. The hunger of hate is never satiated & we know how the poem ends. I implore you to keep speaking up. 🏳️⚧️
No need for mental gymnastics, if it looks like a Nazi salute, it’s probably a Nazi salute. With fascism on the rise, thanks in no small part to this grown man’s rotten to the core social media activity on a platform he owns, when you see a Nazi salute, believe your own eyes - it’s a Nazi salute.

I sit on the Judiciary committee in the NH State Senate. 3 anti-immigrant bills were introduced today. I was gaveled for acknowledging that an identified nationalist hate group who testified was…a hate group. Not all hate groups show up in white hoods or carry tiki torches. #nhpolitics
The fugitive slave act is being proposed for a comeback in the form of HB 191. Sponsored by an unabashed misogynist w/a group who see women as nothing more than breeding vessels. Signing in your opposition to this bill can be the first thing you do today to fight back. Use your power. #NHPolitics
We need your help. NH Republicans are trying to pass an abortion travel ban & it’s being heard TOMORROW. The bill could criminalize: 1) People who bring a young person to an abortion appt 2) Sharing any info on how to access abortion care We CANNOT let this pass. Here's what you can do: 🧵
With my heart breaking, a perpetrator of sexual violence & convicted felon has been sworn in & is enjoying the peaceful transfer of power he ruined for the last POTUS. This is a deeply sad day for democracy. When we cannot see the light, we must be the light. 🇺🇸💔 #nhpolitics
In 10 days a convicted felon, adjudicated sexual assaulter is going to take the office of POTUS. I’m sick to my stomach & heartbroken. Yesterday I was at the inauguration of our new governor (a former AG) who is a big supporter of that man. So sad for what’s to come. #nhpolitics
Tots and pears for Laura Loomer. Life comes at you fast.
Well, now she knows how trans folks feel...
