NH Rep. Wendy Thomas Removed from House Committee, Unclear Why Michael Vose, R-Epping, wouldn't say why Thomas was removed referring the question to House Speaker Sherman Packard, R-Londonderry.

This is absolutely absurd, Wendy Thomas is a strong leader in concord and community advocate that her constituents can trust.

I am proud to have gotten to know Wendy and see her work firsthand as one of her supporters in Merrimack.

Congress can't continue to turn a blind eye on Trump and Hegseth's war crimes.

The Trump Administration's actions HAVE to be investigated. There needs to be accountability.

they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the β€œnarco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

ICE taking steps to close detention center at Fort Bliss, document shows Preparations to shutter Camp East Montana in El Paso come less than eight months after facility’s opening, according to an internal ICE document.

This ICE detention center is the largest in the country and has become notorious for rampant physical abuse, medical neglect, and death.

We won't let up the pressure until it's shut down for good.

The humanities, literature and reading supposedly aren’t important….

but the synthetic word salad maker ingested fiction and nonfiction alike, indifferently, to generate its word predictions shaping life and death decisions in war, medicine, science, at home, etc. etc.

I can’t get over this.

Trump Escalates His War Against Dreamers As Senate Hearing Exposes Ongoing Government Waste and Abuses DHS has admitted to kicking out nearly 90 DACA recipients and detaining 261 others despite long-standing protections shielding them from deportation.

The U.S. government made a promise to #DACA recipients: follow the rules, pass background checks, renew your status, and you can live and work without fear.

"But under Donald Trump’s administration, that promise has been fundamentally broken."

We are in a war of Donald's choosing. Scores of Iranian children are dead; six American service members are dead. The depraved man responsible for those deaths went on a tangent about his gold curtains and his $400 million ballroom because those are his priorities.

Image of a press release from NH House Democratic Leader Alexis Simpson. There is a NH House Democrats logo at the top with a blue outline of New Hampshire and a sketch of the NH State Capitol dome over it. Press release is titled: "House Democratic Leader Simpson Condemns Violent Threats." Quote reads: "This kind of rhetoric is dangerous and unacceptable. Calling for murder because of political disagreement crosses a clear line. The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire should be ashamed to promote language that encourages violence against elected officials and others in public life. Political debates belong in a democracy. Threats of violence do not. House Democrats condemn these statements and reject any attempt to normalize violent language in our politics.”
