  • No longer the natural truth

    Michael Graham has abandoned the natural truth and is full MAGA now. He shamelessly ignores facts and reality to support his narrative and attacks on the left. He’s part of the problem in our country. In the latest episode, he claimed the Kirk killer was not a lone wolf because he’s “Antifa”. There’s evidence that the killer is just another far right domestic terrorist, just like almost all other acts of political violence, and that this was right on right crime. He would not even listen to Bart... more

Packard cites the motorcycle education training program within the Department of Safety as the measure with the biggest life impact, highlighting how it has saved lives and reduced accidents through proactive safety education.
'The Toughest Three Terms:' Speaker Packard Looks Back On Historic Tenure
Q: Obviously, the big news from the state house this week was veto day and the fact that a Republican governor had seven vetoes overridden by a pretty solidly large Republican majority. Can you walk us through what happened and why the veto overrides mattered?
Packard explains that while there was not a coordinated revolt, the overriding vote on the 10-year highway plan demonstrated the legislature's priority on infrastructure and the complexity of balancing executive and legislative powers, with a broader context of fiscal conservatism and budget discipline.
Can Maura Sullivan Slay the Shaheen Machine?
Q: What do you think is the most competitive US Senate race in the country right now?
Pindell identifies several toss-ups, with Michigan, Texas, Iowa, Alaska, Ohio, and Maine as contenders; New Hampshire is not in the top tier, but the discussion emphasizes how dynamic the landscape is across states and the factors that push a race into toss-up territory.
A House Democrat Speaks! Rep. Mandelbaum on NH Politics and the Democratic Party
Q: What is the fundamental purpose of government, in your opinion, if you had to summarize in one or two sentences?
The guest frames government as scaffolding that provides structure and laws, while individuals decide how to implement or interpret them, highlighting a functional view of government that supports everyday life rather than grand ideological aims.
A House Democrat Speaks! Rep. Mandelbaum on NH Politics and the Democratic Party
Q: So one of the things I want to ask you, because I want to ask every Democrat in New Hampshire, is how are things? Like, how's it looking out there in the world of public policy, of partisan politics, of elections?
The guest describes the complex landscape, noting limited cross-aisle engagement and the difficulty of aligning party messaging with constituent needs while acknowledging localized concerns like housing and zoning as practical issues Republicans and Democrats must address.
