I was proud to lead the promotion ceremony for our excellent 2025 Defense Legislative Fellow. Congrats on your promotion, Justin! Thank you for being a stellar member of our team this past year and for your continued service to our nation - best of luck on your next mission.

There will be catastrophic consequences if Republicans don't join us to extend the ACA tax credits. This is not about achieving a political victory for one party or the other – it's about coming together to act in the best interest of the American people.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 9(source)
When workers have affordable health insurance, they get healthy and stay healthy which benefits their communities and our economy. 4 million Americans are expected to lose coverage if Republicans allow the ACA tax credits to expire and that shock will be felt by everyone.

A majority of Marketplace enrollees, regardless of partisanship, say that health insurance is “very important” to their financial wellbeing, their peace of mind, and their ability to access health care.
Stacked bar chart showing percent who say it is very important, somewhat important, not too important, or not at all important to have health insurance for their peace of mind, ability to get the health care they need, and their financial well being. Most Marketplace Enrollees Say Health Insurance Is Very Important to Their Peace of Mind, Ability To Get Care, and Financial Well-Being.

Congress must extend the ACA tax credits that are a lifeline for millions of families. That’s exactly what the Democratic plan would do by providing the certainty of these tax credits for another 3 years. I urge my Republican colleagues to join us to advance this proposal.

If Democrats’ bill to extend the ACA tax credits becomes law, it will accomplish the most important thing we can do right now: Prevent skyrocketing health care costs for Americans.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 8(source)
Tens of millions of Americans are currently signing up for health insurance coverage through the ACA Marketplace. They're facing staggering premium increases because Republicans in Congress and in the White House refuse to extend the vital ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 6(source)
The 13th Amendment ended the evil of slavery in America, and its anniversary reminds us that the work of equality is never finished. Today, we honor this milestone by recommitting ourselves to dignity, fairness and opportunity for all.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 5(source)
Whether you're a Republican or Democrat, the soaring cost of health care impacts everyone. Republicans need to join us to extend the ACA tax credits that help bring down premium costs before it's too late. The President’s own pollsters have underscored the political urgency.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 5(source)
Time is running out to prevent price hikes that will make health care unaffordable for millions of people. New polling shows that Americans will hold President Trump and Congressional Republicans accountable if they refuse to work with Democrats to find a path forward.

Our latest survey captures the views and experiences of Marketplace enrollees as they weigh their coverage options for 2026, without the enhanced ACA credits or other policy changes that the Senate could debate this month. See the findings: https://on.kff.org/4ptXoK8

Sensitive operational information is to be handled with utmost discretion. Secretary Hegseth knows well that any uniformed officer found to have committed the same reckless violations would face swift and severe punishment. There must not be a double-standard for the Secretary.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 4(source)
Pete Hegseth was never qualified to lead the Pentagon, and the chaos he’s created has proven this correct time and again. The Inspector General’s findings confirmed what our military leadership has already said: The Secretary’s actions endangered American service members.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 3(source)
New Hampshire is facing a child care workforce shortage that makes it difficult for providers and families alike to make ends meet. I've introduced legislation that would lower child care costs and increase wages for workers. I'm fighting to make child care more affordable.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 3(source)
The polling is clear: The rising cost of health care matters to families, and Americans know that the President isn't doing anything to bring those costs down. The President and Congressional Republicans need to work with Democrats to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 3(source)
We have known from day one that Secretary Hegseth lacks the skill, temperament and expertise to lead the Pentagon and the world's largest fighting force. This week again makes clear that he's just not up to the task.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 2(source)
Extending the ACA tax credits before the end of the year is urgent for communities like those in West Virginia, where the cost of health insurance is already unaffordable. Without a bipartisan solution, too many Americans will be priced out of health coverage completely. www.ft.com/content/beec...
‘A full-blown crisis’: Americans brace for a surge in healthcare costs
West Virginia is at the epicentre of a looming disaster over rising insurance premiums as affordability concerns soar
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 1(source)
Even the President said he wouldn’t have ‘wanted’ a second strike. Secretary Hegseth has undermined the rule of law at every turn, including by firing the military lawyers who are supposed to advise him on this action. He owes answers to the American people immediately.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govDec 1(source)
I join my Democratic and Republican colleagues in calling for an investigation into this boat strike, which, if true, is clearly unlawful. It's stunning that the Administration has refused to brief all of Congress on the details of these strikes - this must be rectified at once.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

For Americans grappling with high prices, the LIHEAP program is a lifeline that means they won’t have to choose between keeping warm or putting food on the table. I'm glad to see funding I helped secure for home heating assistance is now on its way to Granite Staters.
Long-awaited $3.6B in heating assistance released to states and tribes
The federal government has released about $3.6 billion in delayed funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 25(source)
Giving back to the community is a fundamental part of the holiday spirit. I was grateful to serve meals at Harbor Care's annual Thanksgiving Community Dinner and see firsthand the important work being done on behalf of those impacted by homelessness or housing insecurity.
