When @CindeWarmington says "net zero doesn't mean zero," she means carbon offsets like planting trees, so you can keep your home heating oil, propane and pick up truck.
But you would need FOUR NEW HAMPSHIRES of forest land to offset those carbon emissions.

Whatever happens in #NH01 race, @DiLorenzo4NH wins the "most improved" award. His wipe out of @Stefany4NH in WMUR debate was truly surprising. How did he do it? He's the most authentic candidate this cycle, and Stefany is the least.
@NHGOP @NHDems
Not that many voters are watching the WMUR #NH02, but @RepGoodlander repeatedly ignores the clock, goes over her time, ignores the moderator, looks down on her opponent.
The knock on Goodlander is she's a spoiled elitist raised in wealth. Easy to see why.
In #NH02 debate, @RepGoodlander advocates for more gun laws, claiming "guns are the number one killer of our kids." That's only true if you ignore infant deaths. Older teens (15-17) = 70% of gun deaths = gangs/crime.
Gang bangers don't do background checks.
HUZZAH to @WMUR9 for adding the Union Leader's @KlandriganUL to the debate panels. Having a non-liberal who is knowledgeable about politics is a much better way to serve their viewers.

“We have to expand the SCOTUS. Let’s expand it to 13... We also need to take a critical look at the Electoral College, fight for statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C. These have to be first priorities.” - @KamalaHarris
Campaigning for Pappas, Harris Makes Court Packing a ‘First Priority’

National Dems have a history of this kind of behavior in NH but I will say Sen. Jeanne Shaheen personally overrode it when it happened to me in 2014.
I was in NH for a month or so covering Scott Brown vs Shaheen for @BreitbartNews in the late stages of the 2014 campaign. Shaheen campaign operatives (really national Dem staffers who were flown up from DC for the final two months of a banner senate race) kicked me out of an open press event. It became a huge issue and @steinhauserNH1 spoke out as did many other NH journalists. To her credit, and I don’t think she knew this happened until it hit the news, Shaheen personally made sure I had access to her future events. She even went out of her way to take a question or two from me at every gaggle or press conference from that point forward.
I saw the national Dem staffer in question the day after the election at the Manchester airport catching a flight back to Washington. He didn’t say a word to me then or ever again the entire campaign.
Anyway, lesson here is if you behave like Kamala Harris team is behaving with this you cause yourself more problems. If you do the classy thing like Shaheen did with me, you probably end up winning.

Kamala attempts to articulate the value of talking to children.
It doesn't go well:
"I mean, if you have the chance in whatever your, you know, your circle of life to just, you know, talk to like an eight year old, that's one of the best things, you know, someone who just has that twinkle."
"It hasn't been, you know, they haven't they they have the twinkle. They believe in, in all. And they're curious and - Oh, that gives me joy just because, you know, there is something I think about, looking at children to remind us of our natural nature, who we actually it is our nature, our - There is something about that."
This was said at a 'reproductive rights' event. The irony here is next level.
She somehow keeps managing to get worse at this.
Ladies and Gentlemen, your 2028 Democratic nominee for POTUS -->
"I was a United States Senator, so I know what happens in those rooms. In those rooms there are conversations that happen, where it's important for certain people to stand up and speak, to help at least encourage a certain conscience about what we should care about, in terms of the work we do in the halls of Washington D.C., and with some clarity about how it will actually play out in the streets of America."
You'll be stunned to learn who the teachers unions are endorsing in this election. Almost as stunned as when you find out the @AFTNewHampshire opposes a cap on property taxes.

@NHGOP @NHDems
A tough moment for @RepChrisPappas on @WMUR9's Close Up today when he's forced to admit that, despite serving on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Pappas failed to secure a single dollar for the $360M water project in his hometown of Manchester.

Cinde’s campaign is not even cold and in the ground yet but @CarleighBeriont out here already campaigning with a full court press of legislators trying to clear the field for her - yikes.
Looks like I will do a second tour of duty as a co-chair for Governor Kelly Ayotte. 😉
NH does not want an income tax, Carleigh. Not now, not ever.

Meanwhile, the cost of natural gas is plunging, but Granite Staters can access it because of federal actions to block natural gas infrastructure, a policy supported by @SenatorShaheen
Home heating oil costs more than $6.08 per gallon in New England—about 75% more than last year at this time—thanks to the President's war in Iran.
As temperatures cool, Granite Staters are struggling to afford their energy bills. That is unacceptable.

This is factually incorrect. The new college ID voting law won’t impact “young Granite Staters” at all. If you are a NH resident you have an NH DL or some other ID.
But if you’re a “young Bay Stater” or “young New Yorker” attending college in NH, well…
NH Republicans are making it harder for young Granite Staters to vote. We want to make sure you know how you can cast your ballot. 🗳️ Swipe for your guide to voting in NH. #NHPolitics
One of the arguments MAGA voters make is that it doesn’t matter who GOP nominates, they’ll be labeled “toxic, racist, hateful, etc.” So why not nominate Trump?
