ALERT: Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) has received $1,165,964 in contributions from the pharmaceutical and health products industry over her career, including donations from PACs and individuals associated with the industry

[vomitdodger]

New Hampshire as the Live Free or Die state sure does elect a lot of commie Dems for all their free spirit talk. Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan being at the very top top of the list. But there’s more to this. It is a FACT that corrupt financial influences have helped them win their elections. BOTH benefited from the FTX money laundering scheme. Hassan was THE leading individual. (See below yellow marks). Also note the NH Dem Party next to her name. Guess where THAT money went. To the two commie senators of course.

Shaheen (who doesn’t trust Tulsi) didn’t even give the money back…when 99% of other pols did. 👇

And her commie voting record speaks for itself:

You have to wonder why so much money was spent on the tiny and relatively insignificant state of NH? The answer is easy…each state has two senators. Size doesn’t matter (that’s NOT what she said). And these two commies have been the relatively, non national wave making, silent influence on ALL votes. It was another brilliant move by the commies to hugely, and successfully, influence all Senate votes. Well played commies. And the GOP and Gov “Never Trumper” Sununu let it happen.

Taylor Delandro at NewsNation:

WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — President Donald Trump attended National Prayer Breakfast events on Thursday, announcing that he will create a presidential commission on religious liberty, which he says has been “threatened like never before.” The president also announced that he will sign an executive order Thursday to appoint Attorney General Pam Bondi as head of a new task force to ��eradicate anti-Christian bias.” Trump also said he will create a White House “Faith Office,” which will be led by Pastor Paula White. During the first prayer breakfast event at the Capitol, Trump focused part of his remarks reflecting on an assassination attempt in July, attributing his survival to divine intervention. “God did that,” he said, recalling how he turned his head to look at his favorite chart, narrowly missing the bullet. “Honestly, it changed — it changed something in me, I feel,” he said. “I feel even stronger. I believed in God, but I feel much more strongly about it. Something happened.” [...] This year’s event was co-chaired by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan. The National Prayer Breakfast is a Washington tradition that has lasted more than 70 years and brings together bipartisan lawmakers for fellowship. 

On Thursday, Donald Trump announced the creation of a religious liberty commission and an executive order urging AG Pam Bondi to create a new task force to “eradicate ‘anti-Christian-bias.’”

What does he mean by “anti-Christian bias?” Presumably anti-Christian Conservative bias.

This executive order reeks of Christian nationalism.

In January, the CEOs of X, TikTok, Meta, Snap, and Discord testified in front of a congressional committee about child exploitation on their platforms. “Mr. Zuckerberg, you and the companies before us, I know you don’t mean it to be so, but you have blood on your hands,” Senator Lindsey Graham said at the time.

Despite confrontational questioning from Graham and others about how many underage users were on their platforms, and what safeguards protected them, Zuckerberg and other executives weren’t questioned about the concerning practices of some parents who manage social media accounts on behalf of their young children. A New York Times investigation the month after the hearing found that some parents, mostly of girls, were amassing tens of thousands of followers for their children by posting suggestive images that can attract predators.

Now, Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan is demanding that tech companies account for the untold thousands of accounts that place girls as risk of exploitation on their platforms, through the actions of adult account-holders.

“These corporations must answer for how they are allowing young women and girls to be exploited on their platforms and what steps they will take in response,” Senator Hassan, who represents New Hampshire, told WIRED. “Young women should be able to express themselves online in safe environments that do not facilitate the monetization of potentially exploitative content.”

The Times investigation found that parents can readily bypass the age restrictions of social platforms that bar children under 13 from having accounts. Some parents use the accounts they set up for their children to essentially monetize their daughters by putting them to work as influencers, garnering discounts and sponsorship deals or pulling in advertising revenue.

More sinisterly, some of these accounts brought in money from people seeking sexual or suggestive material about young girls, some of whom were convicted sex offenders. Some of these followers are willing to pay for extra photos beyond those shared on a girl’s social media account, or for private chats or used clothing. Times reporters examined some 5,000 accounts of young girls run by their parents.

While the Times found that some of the parents also operated TikTok accounts, the phenomenon was most prevalent on Meta's Instagram. (X was not mentioned in the Times investigation, and the company claims that its underage user base constitutes less than 1 percent of its usership. WIRED has previously reported that the platform may not have the age verification systems needed to accurately make such a claim.)

“After the disturbing revelations about predators interacting with the posts of minors and even buying their worn clothing, it continues to be clear that social media companies are failing to keep our children safe,” says Senator Hassan.

Meta, TikTok, and X did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In a statement to the Times about its earlier reporting, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said that the company prevents “accounts exhibiting potentially suspicious behavior from using our monetization tools, and we plan to limit such accounts from accessing subscription content,” but that parents were ultimately responsible for the accounts.

In the letters sent to TikTok, X, and Meta, Hassan is asking companies to disclose whether they were aware of parents circumventing their age requirements, whether accounts of young girls are monetized—or have ads placed on them—by the platforms, and what active measures the companies have in place to detect these kinds of accounts.

The platforms have until April 8 to offer their responses.

It’s just insane to me RFK jr is doing this all for a fucking job that lasts 4 years. I’m not trying to minimize the damage he could do but it’s like….what if (and yes I’m being hopeful that we might not be under a dictatorship) a dem wins in 2028…..or even some new republican that isn’t going to keep him around. Like he’s willing to lose his family, friends and any sense of respect really for a 4 year job? What if Trump gets rid of him before that? And he’ll be like 75. He’s just so yuck.

the only conclusion i’ve arrived at is that he’s an addict who now depends on attention and power instead of drugs. he’s also a privileged kid who never grew up, who never had to face the consequences of his actions because, based on numerous accounts, he was given chance after chance every time he messed up.

and whenever he’s had to somewhat face them as an adult, he visibly looks like a nervous, guilt-ridden child (that one clip where senator maggie hassan, who has a son with cerebral palsy, got emotional while critiquing rfk jr.’s statements about autism is a clear example of what i’m talking about) but none of it ever has/or will ever have any lasting impact on his behavior or his actions because he’s already gotten this far cheating and lying his way through life.

he’s so unprepared for his “4 year job” because he dgaf about the job or about what he’s recklessly preaching in the first place. it’s just the closest he’ll ever get to being in the same position of power as his father and uncle. and the closest he’ll ever get to being heralded for a “noble cause” (MAHA) as his father and uncle. but it’s all a farce and yet he doesn’t care bc all he truly cares about in the end is power, attention, and adulation. but as we’ve seen, he’ll do anything to obtain those things without ever doing anything noble or true to have actually earned it. maybe he didn’t even think he’d lose family and friends in the first place bc again, he’s gone so long without suffering any real, tough consequences.

well papa bobby has been looking down for far too long and finally said enough is Enough!

this is the side eye he’s been giving him for the past few decades:

Sexual assault survivor Chessy Prout has slammed a judicial nomination by President Joe Biden.

She was 15 years old when she was assaulted by an older student at St Paul’s School, an elite institution in New Hampshire in 2014.

She anonymously testified against the perpetrator, Owen Labrie, at his trial, but she and her family were still the subjects of threats. She also faced off against the school as it tried to reach a settlement in a civil suit. The school’s strategy enraged Ms Prout to such an extent that she chose to share her story with the public, according to The Boston Globe.

Despite how it changed her life, Ms Prout told the paper that she feels like it has been worth it to speak out.

The lawyer who utilised the tactic that angered Ms Prout has now been nominated to be a federal judge, prompting her to speak out yet again.

“I am determined to have some sort of good, or some sort of change, come out of all the horrible things that have happened to me and my family,” she said.

Mr Biden nominated the former New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney to take a seat at the US First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston.

When Mr Delaney was in private practice, he represented St Paul’s in the civil lawsuit and filed a motion rejecting Ms Prout’s request that she remain anonymous in the event that the dispute went to trial.

The strategy was controversial and criticised as being intended to force a settlement.

Ms Prout and her family ensured that the Biden White House and the senators representing New Hampshire were aware of Mr Delaney’s actions when they became aware that he was being considered for the role last year.

But Mr Biden still proceeded to nominate Mr Delaney.

“I feel like bad actors get rewarded all the time,” Ms Prout told The Globe, which reported earlier this month that the family opposition has created problems for Mr Delaney’s nomination.

“I’m pretty jaded, even at the age of 24 ... but at the same time, I did have higher hopes for this White House,” she told the paper.

Ms Prout was inspired by Mr Biden’s efforts to fight sexual violence, such as the “It’s On Us” programme launched by the Obama White House in 2014 following her assault when Mr Biden was vice president.

“To see this issue be brought up in a really public and noticeable way right when I was going through this issue personally, it felt like kismet, it felt like it was meant to be,” she told The Globe. “I felt like the tides were turning.”

She added that she took part in a conference call in 2017 with Mr Biden after he left the White House during which he said he would continue to work on the issue.

Ms Prout now says she’s “extremely disappointed” by Mr Biden’s nomination of Mr Delaney.

“It is really disheartening that it’s this political party that has been so vocal about supporting survivors, and the fact that they now are throwing their wholehearted support behind a nominee who basically practiced ... victim intimidation tactics,” she told The Globe.

“It just blows my mind that there isn’t a better option,” she added.

The White House said last month that the administration “expects senators to take Mr Delaney’s full record into account when considering his nomination”.

New Hampshire’s two Democratic Senators, Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan, have said they support the nomination but they also voiced support for Ms Prout, something she said is meaningless if Mr Delaney’s nomination succeeds.

“There’s so much talk you can do, there’s so many posters you can hang, so many social media posts you can do to support survivors, but that means nothing – nothing – unless you support them ... in real life,” she told The Globe. “It’s been a lot of talk and not so much action.”

“I know that judge appointments are totally political and it’s all about ... how many judges the president can appoint,” she added. “I just wish that it didn’t have to be this way, which is pretty naïve and idealistic of me to say.”

Mr Delaney told senators at his confirmation hearing last month his motion wasn’t intended to intimidate Ms Prout and he asked the committee to “consider the totality of my record over nearly 30 years as it reviews my qualifications”.

The Independent has reached out to the White House, Mr Delaney, Ms Hassan, and Ms Shaheen for comment.
