  • Tiffany Justice: 'The Tide is Turning' on Protecting Girls Sports and Spaces
    2025/04/23

    Tiffany Justice has been fighting for years to keep biology and gender in tandem, rejecting progressive arguments that sex is merely a social construct and that there are dozens of genders.

    Co-founder of Moms for Liberty, Justice is now a Heritage Foundation Visiting Fellow on Parental Rights.

    And after listening to the U.S. Supreme Court hearing on a parental rights case on Tuesday, she joins the NHJournal podcast to talk about the trend toward protecting girls sports and spaces from biological males.

    “The tide is turning on this issue. And the science, obviously, is with us,” Justice told the NHJournal podcast.

    ALSO: Some rank punditry from your host, Michael Graham of NHJournal, on the latest Granite State poll from the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, and why, despite Trump's struggles, Democrats embrace "one weird trick" that keeps Trump in the game.

  • Sununu's Out! Mark Halperin on What's Next for NH Senate Race
    2025/04/09

    Gov. Chris Sununu says he's going to sit out the 2026 U.S. Senate race -- what does that mean for New Hampshire politics?

    NHJournal Managing Editor Michael Graham asks veteran political reporter Mark Halperin. He gives his take on Sununu's decision, the chances Republicans will pick up the seat, and why he thinks Rep. Maggie Goodlander could be the biggest danger to Rep. Chris Pappas' Senate hopes.

    In addition to some rank punditry from the host, state Rep. James Spillane (R-Deerfield) talks about his recent trip to Israel with a group of legislators, and what Granite Staters should know about the Gaza conflict.

  • NH Democrats Have Anger Issues
    2025/03/21

    New Hampshire Democrats are as mad as hell, and they're not gonna take it anymore! Not from their members of Congress -- as Rep. Maggie Goodlander learned at a town hall this week -- or from their fellow members of the New Hampshire legislature. Just ask progressive Rep. Jonah Wheeler (D-Peterborough).

    All that anger is going to have an impact on the 2026 campaigns. The big question is who will be running? Goodlander? Rep. Chris Pappas? Former Gov. Chris Sununu?

    Plenty of rank punditry from your host, NHJournal Managing Editor Michael Graham.

    And then William Jacobson with Legal Insurrection joins the conversation to talk about the civil rights complaint he filed regarding UNH's participation in a race-based faculty benefits program. (Cameo appearance by NHJournal reporter Damien Fisher!)

  • EV Chargers, New Hampshire Tourism and The Real Story of the Granite State Grid
    2025/03/10

    An article quoting Sam Evans-Brown of Clean Energy NH led to a tweet by host Michael Graham which led to a minor kerfuffle which resulted in a terrific conversation about New Hampshire, EVs, and the real numbers on energy in New England.

    Another tweet, from Democratic operative Lucas Meyer, claims New Hampshire Republicans are plotting an "income tax." (Spoiler alert: No.)

    Plenty of green energy policy and rank punditry in this edition of the NHJournal podcast, made possible by Dr. Bruce Houghton at Perfect Smiles of Nashua and (as the saying goes) "people like you."

  • Gender Clinic Whistleblower Coming to NH to Support Ban on Sex Changes for Children
    2025/02/26

    Jamie Reed describes herself as a "queer woman who's politically to the left of Bernie Sanders." For years, she worked at The Washington University Transgender Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital -- until she became a whistleblower.

    What Reed saw violates the "first, do no harm" tenets of health care. "Instead, we are permanently harming the vulnerable patients in our care," she says.

    Reed is now executive director of the LGBT Courage Coalition. She's heading to New Hampshire to testify on behalf of legislation banning puberty blockers and permanent sex change surgeries for children. She talks to NHJournal about the latest medical research on the gender issue, and she answers a question that has even stumped a U.S. Supreme Court nominee:

    "What is a woman?"
