It marked the third rally of its kind, with an estimated 3,000 similar events happening across the US.

👵 New Hampshire’s oldest resident is still logging on every day. Dick Durette, who just turned 109, uses his computer daily, orders groceries online, and is even exploring AI. Born in 1917, he’s lived through everything from kerosene lamps to the internet—and credits his longevity to vitamins, exercise, and curiosity. Union Leader

🎨 Meanwhile, just across the river … Vermont is leaning into its arts legacy. Cartoonist Stephen R. Bissette is set to become the state’s next cartoonist laureate and wants to create a book documenting Vermont’s rich cartooning history. It’s a unique role—Vermont is the only state with one—and he hopes to leave behind something tangible. Valley News

📺 Back in New Hampshire politics … government just got a little more accessible. A political consultant has started livestreaming Executive Council meetings on YouTube for the first time, giving residents a new way to follow decisions without being in the room. The effort is still DIY (and a bit glitchy), but early feedback suggests people are tuning in. New Hampshire Bulletin

🗳️ Speaking of politics … a big name is heading back to the Granite State. Hillary Clinton will visit Nashua on April 25 as the keynote speaker for a major Democratic Party dinner—her first public NH appearance since 2019. Analysts say it’s more about energizing midterm voters than any future campaign. WMUR

✊ And finally … those “No Kings” protests have drawn huge crowds locally. Demonstrations across the Seacoast—including in Portsmouth—brought out hundreds of people speaking out against concentrated power, climate policy, and economic inequality. Organizers say the movement is about building momentum and community action nationwide. Portsmouth Herald

Democrats are gaining ground in New Hampshire ahead of the 2026 midterms, with a new Saint Anselm poll showing a widening lead. Concerns over the economy and foreign policy appear to be driving the shift.

So this week’s question is:

Are you concerned about the economy?

Here’s what you’re saying:

“Yes, very much. DJ Trump is bankrupting the US economy as quickly as he can ruin a casino in Atlantic City. Unsustainable debt and growing international contempt are eroding the momentum of the U.S. dollar and its position as the world’s reserve currency. Oil is now rapidly shifting to other currencies, including the RMB. Ignorance will not remain bliss once this all blows up. Rand Paul seems to be the only Republican who cares at all and is willing to speak up. Democrats will protect overspending on critical social programs, while Republicans will protect overspending on ICE and bombs. Time to throw the bums out!” — Tom Chew

Dear Readers,

What’s the best way to support and show love to a friend who has suddenly lost her husband? I want to help, especially during the winter months, but I’m not sure what to do.

— Unsure in Missouri

Dear Unsure,

My heart goes out to you and your friend. Losing your partner suddenly is one of the hardest things a person can go through, and wanting to be there for her shows how much you care. I know you want to do the right thing, and it can feel scary not knowing exactly what that is. Grief is a natural and healthy part of being human, even though sometimes it can be messy or uncomfortable. 

The good news is that our readers have walked this road before, both as the friend who shows up and as the one who needs support. Here are some of the suggestions that women from across the country submitted.
