Families who rely on food assistance were feeling real pain during the government shutdown. I stopped by Community Action Program Belknap-Merrimack Counties to thank folks for their work to ensure mothers and children in our state were able to access WIC despite the uncertainty.

Democrats need to stay focused and get Republicans to the table. President Trump and Republicans should remember that 76% of the Americans who benefit from these tax credits live in states that he won last year.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 14(source)

As Democrats, we don't use human beings as political pawns. I'm proud that our deal ensures 42 million Americans can get food assistance and 2 million federal workers can get paid. We need to stay united and remember who the problem is: Donald Trump and the Republican majorities.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 12(source)

Now that the House is back, Speaker Johnson is learning the hard way that he can't hide from his problems forever. Americans are demanding transparency on Jeffrey Epstein and action to extend the ACA tax credits. It's time to do your job.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

POTUS, Speaker Johnson and Congressional Republicans remain the barrier to addressing health care costs. For the first time, we've secured a guaranteed vote on this crisis and if they continue to ignore the needs of the American people, they'll be held accountable next November.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

My Republican colleagues—including President Trump—have repeatedly told voters they'd address health care costs once the government was open. We've secured a vote and now it's time to hold them accountable.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

CNN: The head of the House Progressive Caucus called this a betrayal...Can you respond to that? Shaheen: That [ACA tax credits extension] was my first legislation this year, and I intend to continue to fight...They need to train their fire on the people who are responsible.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

For years I’ve led the effort to put in place the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. No one in the Senate wants to extend these more than me. This deal is our best path to get that done.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

This agreement gives us the opportunity to fight to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that make health care more affordable for tens of millions of Americans.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

For over a month, I’ve made clear that my priorities are to both reopen government and extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. This is our best path toward accomplishing both of these goals.

Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 10(source)

I voted tonight to reopen the government and take action to protect health care for tens of millions of Americans. Here’s why:

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 7(source)

At a time when costs on basic needs—from housing to child care—are all going up, extending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits is one of the most immediate and effective ways to provide relief to families’ budgets. The American people are counting on us to get this done.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 7(source)

Health care isn’t negotiable. We need to both reopen the government and work together to protect access to affordable health care by extending the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 6(source)

Despite overwhelmingly positive feedback, the Trump Administration is axing a tool that allowed Americans to file their taxes for free. It's disappointing to see the administration prioritize private interests over helping Americans save time and money filing their taxes.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 6(source)

Millions of Americans—like my constituent Siena—are already facing a cost of living crisis. They can't afford to have their health insurance premiums increase 300% like Siena’s did, on top of soaring prices for basic necessities. Congress must act to extend the ACA tax credits.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 5(source)

The health insurance Marketplace is open. Americans, who are already facing a cost of living crisis, are seeing drastically higher, unaffordable premiums. With millions of people counting on us, it’s time to extend these tax credits.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 5(source)

Let’s be clear what’s at stake: If Congress doesn’t extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits, the American people will be left footing the bill for soaring health care costs at a time when too many are struggling to stay afloat.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 4(source)

Extending ACA enhanced premium tax credits is one of the most immediate and effective ways to address the cost-of-living crisis that is making it harder and harder for working families to make ends meet. We cannot allow 4 million people to lose their health care.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govNov 4(source)

Setti Warren was a dedicated public servant, a true leader and a generous mentor though his work at the Harvard IOP. We first met while working on John Kerry’s campaign for President and I'm grateful to have called him a friend and colleague in the years since. Billy and I extend our condolences.

Remembering Setti Warren

We write today with profound sadness to share that Setti Warren, Director of the Institute of Politics, has passed away. Setti was a beloved member of our community, and we are devastated by this hear...

My statement on the opening of the health insurance Marketplace and the urgent need to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that lower health care costs for millions of Americans:
