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. This podcast sponsored by Perfect Smiles of Nashua. Find Mark Halperin's 2Way platform here.

A tariff tumble on Wall Street. The new tariff's are causing fears and some anger in Europe. With new Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen retiring, four-term Congressman Chris Pappas wants the job. Stay in "The Loop" with #iHeartRadio.

In a stirring keynote at the seventh BizNews Conference (BNC#7), uMngeni Executive Mayor Chris Pappas passionately defends the Democratic Alliance's legacy while confronting South Africa's stark realities—poverty, inequality, and failing governance. Blending optimism with realism, he highlights KwaZulu-Natal's untapped potential, showcases tangible progress in his municipality, and calls for bold action to rewrite the nation's future through accountability, competence, and collective resolve. In a dynamic Q&A with Alec Hogg after his keynote, Pappas delved into the gritty realities of local governance, reflecting on the murder of his colleague Nhlalayenza Ndlovu and the stalled justice process, while defending the Democratic Alliance's impact. He shares his choice to prioritize tangible change at the municipal level over provincial politics, highlights growing voter support, and addresses challenges like property prices, red tape, and personal safety with a blend of pragmatism and humour, underscoring his commitment to public service.

Tonight on The Last Word: Trump national security officials accidentally leak military plans to a journalist over an unclassified chat app. Also, Democrats hold town halls in GOP districts. Plus, the Trump administration refuses to answer a federal judge's questions about obeying a court order and invokes the state secrets privilege. And Trump special envoy Steve Witkoff says Vladimir Putin is not a “bad guy.” Sen. Tammy Duckworth, Jen Psaki, Rep. Chris Pappas, Rep. Ro Khanna, Joyce Vance, and Timothy Snyder join Jonathan Capehart.

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.

Gary Tanguay filled in on NightSide:Have you had a chance to check out this crime comedy drama television series? The Righteous Gemstones follows a televangelist family with a reputation of deviance and greed alongside their charitable work. Hollywood screenwriter and producer Chris Pappas chatted with Gary about this comedic gem.

Tam iki haftadır kulağı kirişte bekliyorum. Çok sayıda sivil toplum kuruluşunca oluşturulan Uluslararası Özgürlük Filosu Koalisyonu'nun abluka altındaki Gazze'ye insani yardım götürecek ‘Akdeniz Gemisi'nin yolcuları arasındayım. Hemen her gün ne zaman hareket edeceğimizi sorup durdum. Son netleşen tarih, geçtiğimiz cuma günüydü. WhatsApp gruplarımız bile kuruldu. Geminin çok sayıda ülkeden aktivisti, siyasetçi ve gazetecilerden oluşan yolcuları belirlenmiş, tüm hazırlıklar tamamlanmış ve artık denize açılacaktık. Ancak hesapta olmayan bir erteleme söz konusu. Filoda bulunan 2 geminin bayrak ülkesi olan Guinea-Bissau, İsrail'in baskıları sonucu bayrağını çekti. Gemiler gereken tüm denetimleri geçmiş olmasına rağmen, Guinea-Bissau'nun Uluslararası Gemi Sicili denetmenleri inceleme talebinde bulundu. Olağandışı olmasına rağmen, Uluslararası Özgürlük Filosu Koalisyonu denetleme yapılmasını kabul etti. Denetçiler geçtiğimiz perşembe günü Tuzla'daki limanda bekleyen Akdeniz Gemisi'ne çıktı ve cuma günü de Guinea-Bissau'nun bayrağını geri çektiğini bildirdiler. Yapılan açıkça siyasi bir hamleydi. Soykırıma maruz kalan ve açlıktan ölümlerin yaşandığı abluka altındaki Gazze'deki insanlar için hayati önem taşıyan 5 bin tondan fazla yardım malzemesiyle yüklenmiş olan kargo gemisi bu şekilde, “şimdilik” engellenmiş oldu. Üstelik Birleşmiş Milletler'in, filonun güvence altına alınarak hızlıca Gazze'ye ulaştırılması gerektiğini açıklamasına rağmen yapıldı bu siyasi ve insani olmayan hamle. İsrail ve Amerika bir yandan Gazze'yi ölüme mahkûm ederken bir yandan da soykırımın önüne geçebilecek tüm politik ve sivil girişimleri de engelliyorlar. Şimdi bu büyük ve affedilmez suçlara Afrika ülkesi Guinea-Bissau da ortak oldu. Ancak ilginç başka detaylar da var. Filonun yola çıkmasını Yunanistan da istemiyor. ABD Temsilciler Meclisi Üyesi ve Demokrat Parti'li Chris Pappas öncülüğünde, aralarında Yunanistan kökenli milletvekillerinin de olduğu milletvekilleri 26 Nisan günü filonun engellenmesi çağrısında bulundu. Amerikan Dışişleri Bakanı Blinken'a bir mektup gönderen Demokrat ve Cumhuriyeti partili milletvekilleri, filonun Türkiye'den yola çıkmasını engellemesini istediler. Milletvekilleri, filonun Gazze'deki insani krizi daha da kötüleştirebileceğinden, bölgesel gerilimleri alevlendirebileceğinden ve devam eden müzakereleri baltalayabileceğinden dem vursalar da bir büyük planın sekteye uğrayacağından korktuklarını dile getiriyorlar aslında. O plan ise Güney Kıbrıs'ta hazırlıkları yapılan geçici liman. İsrail'in, Amerika eliyle Güney Kıbrıs üzerinden Gazze arasında bir liman kurarak bölgeyi dünyadan koparma hedefi geçtiğimiz aylarda açığa çıkmıştı. Güney Kıbrıs'ın İsrail'in Akdeniz'deki karakolu olduğunu bilmeyen yok. Larnaka Limanı üzerinden, denizden insani yardım ulaştırma bahanesiyle Gazze'ye kuvvet gönderen Amerika'nın milletvekilleri de yola çıkmayı bekleyen filonun planlarını sekteye uğratacağını açıkça itiraf ediyorlar aslında. Haliyle, Uluslararası Özgürlük Filosu'nun yola çıkması Akdeniz'de acil ateşkes sağlanması için sivil bir baskı oluşturacak. Filoya Avrupa'dan ve Akdeniz'den yeni katılımlar olması söz konusu. Bunu tabii ki istemiyorlar. Filoyu da bu nedenle engelliyorlar.

Just as his party is able to use its governance of the Western Cape as a ‘prospectus' for voters, uMngeni executive mayor Christopher Pappas (32) can point to his own record since taking office in November 2021. And the fluent isiZulu speaker believes it's a message resonating in a province where there is a growing realisation what you do at the ballot box can make a difference. With support for the ANC collapsing in KZN after the emergence of Jacob Zuma's MK party, Pappas offers thoughts on the issues which will determine how votes are cast on May 29 - and shares his own message of hope for those in the embattled province. He spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews. Sign up for your early morning brew of the BizNews Insider to keep you up to speed with the content that matters.

Umgeni mayor Chris Pappas says he's not surprised by the outcomes of an investigation into him. Website

Here are three things you need to know as you wake up: Webpage

Chris Pappas is the Democratic Alliance's Premier candidate in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Pappas has shot to nationwide attention in the last few years after becoming the only DA mayor in KZN, and is now attempting to dethrone the ANC in the province. In this exclusive interview, we ask him the questions that the country has been wondering about.

05.10.23 Pt 2 - Joining the Burning Platform this week is Leon Louw, a policy expert, author, and speaker. Leon and Phumi engage their frustration over pre-apartheid policy of unlawful deeds distribution and property handovers without paperwork. Kanthan has some worries about Chris Pappas being the frontman of the DA's premiership in KZN, and Gareth gets into some international news. www.cliffcentral.com

Leon Louw - a policy expert, author and speaker - joins the panel to discuss land and property ownership, and the unlawful woes that have carried over the last few generations.

This is the message Chris Pappas, the Democratic Alliance's (DA's) candidate for Premier in KwaZulu-Natal, has for those who have accused him of nepotism. He speaks to BizNews after the Public Protector and the Speaker of the uMngeni municipality were both asked to investigate him. Pappas says the Speaker already investigated a couple of months ago - and stresses that he has nothing to hide. He also confirms that he has received “lots of threats”, but is full of courage. “When you're a threat, and when there's money involved, and when there's power and positions involved, and you do not have law and order, and the criminal justice system is largely dysfunctional, and the value for life and moral engagement, has deteriorated to where it is, then you do have the situation that I'm sitting in at the moment. But you also can't let that deter you.” Pappas also talks about the latest polling data; lists his priorities after next year's election; and details the actions taken over the last 23 months to turn his municipality into what DA leader John Steenhuisen described as a “a shining beacon on the hill while the rest of KZN lies in ruin.” - Chris Steyn

The DA has boldly made a young white mayor from rural Kwa-Zulu Natal their candidate for Premier of the province for the 2024 elections. In many ways, he is fundamentally different to the leaders the DA has been picking up until now. Let's look into why Pappas might bring clarity to the party whose future is so uncertain.

Karoline discusses her former congressional opponent Chris Pappas' celebration of Pride Month, something the guests at the Community Oven live show are not too keen about! The Democrats would never honor veterans the same way they celebrate the LGBTQ cohort.

At 35, it's tempting to make parallels between Tshwane's new executive mayor Cilliers Brink and his counterparts in Cape Town and uMngeni, better exposed Young Lions of the Democratic Alliance. If anything, though, the legally-trained Pretoria lad faces an even more formidable challenge than counterparts Geordin Hill-Lewis and Chris Pappas. While they run local governments where the DA enjoys an outright majority, Brink leads a fragile political coalition recently embarrassed by a handful of members who secretly voted with the ANC/EFF rivals. But Brink sees his glass as half full. In this interview, he explains what is being done to overcome recent setbacks, including a missed opportunity to tackle load-shedding and an appalling audit report. He spoke to Alec Hogg of BizNews.

In this follow up, Hersov says despite the flack he has taken, he stands by every word in that presentation. But says there are some bright lights on the horizon as the country heads towards an ANC-free government in 2024, naming Gayton McKenzie, Herman Mashaba and Chris Pappas among the rising stars.

Challenges for Military Sexual Trauma Coordinators and Culture of Safety Considerations The VA OIG conducted a review of select activities and challenges of Military Sexual Trauma (MST) Coordinators and Veterans Integrated Service Network Points of Contact in response to a request from Congressman Chris Pappas, Chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs' Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, and Congresswoman Julia Brownley, Chairwoman of the Women Veterans Task Force. The OIG also reviewed the culture of safety for patients requesting MST-related care. Sexual trauma experienced while serving in the military affects both women and men with potentially serious and long-term consequences. Psychological trauma, such as MST, also increases risk of physical health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes. The Veterans Health Administration requires that each facility has a designated MST Coordinator with at least 20 percent of their time dedicated to protected administrative time. The OIG conducted a national survey and interviews to evaluate MST Coordinators duties and perceived challenges. Approximately 80 percent of the respondents reported having been assigned at least 20 percent or more of protected time. Thirty-nine percent reported inadequate resources to fulfill MST Coordinator administrative responsibilities. Based on analysis of survey results and interview information, the OIG found that insufficient protected administrative time, role demands, insufficient support staff, and inadequate funding and outreach materials challenged MST Coordinators' ability to fulfill role responsibilities. Additionally, the OIG found that MST Coordinators who reported more dedicated time than other MST Coordinators did not necessarily serve at facilities with higher numbers of patients in MST related care.The OIG made one recommendation to the Under Secretary for Health to evaluate the sufficiency of current guidance and operational status regarding protected administrative time, administrative staff support, and funding for outreach, education, and special project resources, with consideration of MST Coordinators' responsibilities, and take action as warranted.

George Pappas was the first Jamie Salter sponsored team rider for Kemper a distinction he earned by placing 8th at the Snwoboarding World Championships in Breckenridge CO. He grew up riding with his brother Chris Pappas, Dave Dowd, Kevin Delaney, and many other legendary pro snowboarders from Colorado and around the world.In December of last year when this was recorded George was piecing together his life after serving 5 years of a 13 year sentence for the attempted murder of his girlfriend at the time. Shortly after arriving in prison George enrolled in everything he could to try and spend as little time in jail as he could and luck (which he reminds me is the meeting of preparation and opportunity) landed him in programs that actually reached him and changed his life forever. Now, as we're nearing a year of George being out of prison, he's reno'd a home he's living in into a recovery house. He's qualified to compete in the in World Skate Games slalom events in Argentina by beating  the 8 time world champion Joe McLaren at the Texas Sizzlera few weeks ago. He's in the process of being granted early release from parole. And he's reconnecting with his son Geoy. Support the show (https://paypal.me/fnradfoundation)

Weed legalization just got a bit closer nationally when a bill passes to decriminalize marijuana. The topic of marijuana legalization has been hotly debated for years and recently has seen a stronger shift toward it being a national reality. The bill narrowly passed because, according to CNN, "Republicans Tom McClintock of California, Brian Mast and Matt Gaetz, both of Florida, joined the majority of Democrats in supporting the bill, while Democrats Henry Cuellar of Texas and Chris Pappas of New Hampshire voted against."

In this episode, Robert Fojo welcomes Julian Acciard as his guest.  Acciard is a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives.  He is running in New Hampshire's first Congressional District and is challenging current Representative Chris Pappas, a Democrat.  Our conversation touched on a number of topics, including Acciard's positions on limited government, immigration, taxes, the process of legislation, and administrative agencies; Donald Trump's impact and legacy; the meaning of conservatism; the history of the Republican Party; the Founders and the Constitution; how Republicans can continue to make gains with the black vote; and his priorities in Washington, D.C., if he wins this race.

On this edition of The New Hampshire Journal podcast, NHGOP State Party Chair Steve Stepanek talks about the results of this week's municipal elections, and why he believes Democrats like Sen. Maggie Hassan and Rep. Chris Pappas can't untangle themselves from the politics of energy policy. He believes voters will hold Democrats responsible for $5 a gallon gasoline and high heating bills.Drew Cline of the Josiah Bartlett Center for Public Policy also sees trouble ahead on energy, and he offers a different take on the politics of former GOP strongholds like Bedford: They've zoned out housing for working-class GOP voters.Is Bedford too affluent to stay Republican? It's on the podcast! Hosted by NHJournal's Michael Graham.

Also, what does this mean for Senator Maggie Hassan and the balance of power in the Senate? Will gerrymandered Rep. Chris Pappas run for Governor? Does the economy matter any more in politics?
