Twitter has labeled all links from Epoch Times as 'unsafe,' leading to Republican Senator Marco Rubio demanding an explanation for what he calls an 'outrageous act of censorship.' Epoch Times, which is blocked in Mainland China, has reported the issue to Twitter support but has not received a response. The situation was verified by Just the News, and Epoch Times is seeking a review of Twitter's action.

A New Hampshire court ruling attempted to set the cost of an adequate education, but the article argues that only a competitive education marketplace can determine true costs. The court's decision, rooted in the Claremont case, is criticized for methodological flaws and a lack of data, particularly on the efficiency gains from competition. The article suggests that without market competition, the state will not know the real cost of adequate education.

Former U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte, announcing her gubernatorial run, vows to prevent New Hampshire from becoming like Massachusetts, which she implies is less free and more oppressive. The article contrasts New Hampshire's libertarian-leaning culture, which values freedom and has a constrained government, with Massachusetts' preference for order and higher levels of taxation and regulation. It criticizes Massachusetts for its one-party rule, high tax burden, and aggressive policies, suggesting that these factors drive residents to relocate to more liberty-oriented states like New Hampshire and Florida. The piece underscores New Hampshire's historical commitment to freedom and its role as a refuge for those seeking to escape oppressive government.

The New Hampshire Zoning Atlas, released by the Center for Ethics in Society at Saint Anselm College, provides a comprehensive view of local zoning ordinances across New Hampshire. It maps 23,000 pages of regulations in 2,139 districts within 269 jurisdictions, revealing the extent to which municipalities restrict housing options. The atlas indicates that single-family homes are predominantly allowed, but often with large minimum lot sizes that make affordable starter homes nearly impossible to build. The data suggests that zoning often prohibits smaller yards, duplexes, apartments, and mixed-use developments, with some towns imposing extreme restrictions. The atlas is expected to influence policy changes by highlighting the disconnect between housing demand and restrictive zoning laws.

In New Hampshire, a housing shortage is driving up prices for homes and long-term rentals, while the market for short-term rentals like Airbnb has seen prices fall due to increased supply. The article draws parallels to the scarcity tactics of characters in 'The Muppets Christmas Carol' and suggests that the solution to the housing crisis is to loosen overly restrictive local regulations that hinder new development. Jason Sorens of the Center for Ethics in Society at St. Anselm College supports this view, noting that without more building, long-term rental supply won't increase to meet demand.

Americans and Granite Staters have much to be thankful for, including the historical perspective provided by the settlers of the first Thanksgiving. The article reflects on the scarcity of resources during colonial times and contrasts it with the abundance experienced after the Enlightenment, which led to significant increases in food productivity and average incomes. The Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy values economic growth, which has led to a current state where job openings outnumber unemployed individuals in the United States and New Hampshire. The article concludes by expressing gratitude for the prosperity and abundance that have become the default expectation today.

In the winter of 2017-18, New England nearly faced rolling blackouts due to constrained natural gas supplies. Officials and governors suggested modifying the Jones Act to allow timely LNG deliveries during winter. However, the Jones Act, which mandates that goods transported between U.S. ports be on American-made and -owned ships, and a lack of LNG tankers meeting these criteria, prevented LNG shipments to New England. Pipeline construction had not kept pace with production, partly due to anti-fracking and anti-fossil fuel campaigns. Emails obtained by the Cato Institute revealed that MARAD officials worked with the U.S. shipbuilding industry to block a Jones Act waiver for New England to protect domestic shipbuilders from foreign competition. Despite ongoing concerns and warnings about potential blackouts, no waiver has been granted, and New England faces another winter with precarious fuel security.

The New Hampshire Department of Transportation has selected the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) to operate a planned Manchester-Boston commuter rail line, despite MBTA's history of safety issues and financial deficits. The MBTA has been under federal investigation and safety orders, with recent incidents including power losses, train fires, derailments, and inadequate infrastructure. The article questions the decision to proceed with the commuter rail project and the choice of MBTA as the operator, given the rise of remote work, the advent of driverless cars, and MBTA's poor management.
