Good morning, New Hampshire, and welcome to Friday. Today, Maya Mitchell reports on the partnerships between churches and childcare providers, and what role those partnerships play in the overall childcare ecosystem. Also, Stateline’s Amanda Watford explores how surveillance has evolved in the United States since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. And, from States Newsroom’s Ashley Murray, a look at President Donald Trump’s “fiscally dangerous” $5,000 “dividend” pledge to the American people. Thank you for reading, and enjoy the day. — Dana
