And that is why I drove to DC instead of flying.
Flying used to be fun, or at least neutral. The ratio of toxic to nontoxic experiences is too high nowadays.

I would die to keep New Hampshire from turning into to California.
As a kid in the 80’s, the groundwork for the collapse was already underway in CA. Those policies are spreading across the country, and I’m fighting them in the NH legislature.
I could use your help keeping NH
I would not die for D.C. or anyone or anything in it but I feel like I would die for the California of my childhood. It was worth dying for. It was worth protecting.
But no one bothered to protect it. I'd like to fill a prison with the people responsible. The destruction of CA

NH owes NH the decency to debate on the issues that matter to us.
Why does she want a Dept of Offense?
Why does she want to kill online privacy?
Why does she conflate being the wife of a Guardsman with being a Navy Veteran?
What does she really stand for?
Nikki Haley indicates she will SKIP the WMUR/ABC debate next week:
"What you hope is voters get something out of it — I don't know going into these last days they get much out of it."
Haley can’t take the heat. Ron DeSantis demolished Haley over her record last debate and now
As a first year Rep I passed a bill to keep our voter checklists up to date. Unfortunately some towns/cities don’t meet to actually confirm potentially disqualified voters. This bill to make them meet every 90 days to do their job barely passed, with Democrats opposed.

I’m voting against free lunch HB1212. This bill spends $50-100+ mln in NH taxpayer $, but ties us to Federal guidelines with no $ match.
No local food sourcing.
Forcing 38 schools into this & ending local control.

HB619 makes people wait until they are 18 for genital gender reassignment surgery in NH.
The AUA just published a study of the ~1k people going MTF or FTM in Cali from ‘12-‘18.
Suicide attempts DOUBLED in MTF after surgery.
Please tell me how protecting kids is an attack.
Relentless attacks by republicans on LGBTQ youth violate our proud LIVE FREE principles. These harmful bills must be defeated to be true to our NH values. And let’s elect Democrats up + down the ballot that believe in

NH Democrat Senator Watters argues that Adam and Eve were trans, and therefore the state should not make kids wait until they are 18 for genital gender surgery.
Yet he sponsored a bill to make kids wait until 18 to get married.
Please make it make sense.
While I celebrate and welcome Rep Toll’s baby daughter, using a child as a prop is unacceptable.
I find it even worse when she celebrates killing this girl’s older sibling because unlike this adorable baby, that child committed the crime of being conceived at the wrong time.

So you have data to show that these surgeries are safe in minors? I’m all ears.
Or are you going to join the chorus of people rejecting clinical science and pretending like these surgeries in kids are well understood?

Hand count towns would report the votes for Joe Biden at the same time as all results. If a location posted the machine tapes before hand counting, then the Biden votes would wait until after the hand count is done.

Actually the first transgender person I met was at PorcFest in 2008. A pretty amazing human all around.

Traffic has been at a standstill for hours, but there is no information available to travelers.
So many are turning around in the median, and that isn’t safe.
The NH Senate is debating my bill on legalizing cannabis. I know this is a big change for the state.
I know that a successful bill won’t make everyone happy.
It is crucial that we don’t pass a bill that makes everyone sad in order to claim the title of “25th legal state.”

She claimed this is because it costs “thousands of dollars” and she “won’t offer them something they can’t afford.

Weed is here & available to Granite Staters, but today they buy it out of state or on the street. My bill HB1633 opens a (very) limited market for tested, clean weed aimed to existing users.
I can’t accept the state promoting it or setting prices.

If you have difficulty motivating yourself, weed can destroy your life.
If you are so motivated that you have trouble relaxing, weed might help.
If you work at home, in a creative job, weed might boost your creativity. For most other jobs, it's just one more thing

If she believes that is the right thing to do for the people of America she should resign her position in an organization which prohibits such actions.
It’s easy, if you are in an organization you follow the rules. ESPECIALLY when you lead a local arm of a national group.
We are limiting doctors ability to perform surgeries with NO DATA in patients of the age and medical history of our transgender youth.
I would say that encouraging medical experimentation on our youth with no data is the real attack on human rights.
NH House Republicans have introduced more than a dozen anti-trans bills this term. Like the fight for marriage equality in the early-2000s, this is the GOP’s latest election year attack on civil rights + personal freedom that aims to pit Americans against one another.

Regret rate matters here, because the surgery is not for a physiologic problem.
In cardiac bypass, the death risk of no surgery is death by coronary artery obstruction.
In gender affirming surgery, the death risk from no surgery is self harm.
These are not the same…

If New Hampshire taxpayers are buying kids lunch, why would we tie those lunches to the terrible Federal standards?
Wouldn’t we be better off with an effort that prioritizes local high quality food? That’s not allowed with this bill.
When you amplify this hate speech you give bigots a bigger platform. I condemn that email and that message.
I also believe in science and know it is harmful to mislead kids and their parents about the safety of this surgery.
Why is Trump holding a rally instead of a town hall where voters can ask questions? Why won’t Trump debate?

I support HB1683 to stop Medicaid payment for non-medically-necessary circumcisions.
My problem in this thread is providers gatekeeping based on perceived ability to pay. That was said in a floor speech yesterday on the bill by a person who does this for work.
Speaker Johnson voted to let the Feds spy on you without a warrant.
This is why I wasn’t excited at the motion to vacate Speaker McCarthy, and why I think it is important for a legislative body to continue through a term with consistent leadership team in most situations.
This is how the Constitution dies.
By a tie vote, the amendment to require a warrant to spy on Americans goes down in flames.
This is a sad day for America.
The Speaker doesn’t always vote in the House, but he was the tie breaker today. He voted against warrants.

If they want unity, there first needs to be a reckoning on how Trump policies during Covid caused serious health and economic consequences.
