The Mount Washington Observatory is a world-class research institution situated atop our most iconic peak. I was glad to visit the observatory to see firsthand the snowcat they acquired with federal funding I fought for. I even had the honor of being the first one to test it out!

The Big Beautiful Betrayal is threatening the survival of hospitals in the most rural parts of NH. I led a roundtable at MaineHealth Memorial Hospital in North Conway to discuss how we can support affordable care in the North Country despite devastating federal health care cuts.

The new bipartisan bill I’m leading with Senators Maggie Hassan, Susan Collins and Angus King—the Protecting Public Naval Shipyards Act—would codify the hiring freeze exemption we secured for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard workforce. Let’s get this done. www.fosters.com/story/news/l...

It's great to see federal funding headed to the Manchester VA to make much-needed repairs and infrastructure and technology updates. These critical improvements will help keep the facility up and running for the Granite State veterans who rely on the VA for health care. news.va.gov/press-room/v...
VA to spend additional $800M on infrastructure improvements this year - VA News
VA realigns an additional $800 million this fiscal year for its Non-Recurring Maintenance program to make infrastructure improvements to health care facilities.

For Granite Staters, basic necessities—housing, food, electricity and health care—are too expensive. We need to advance policies that lower costs, like investing in clean energy and extending the ACA Enhanced Premium Tax Credits, but President Trump is focused on doing the opposite.
New Hampshire manufacturing expected to take hit from tariffs on Canadian raw materials
Some New Hampshire manufacturers say they're dealing with longer wait times and increased costs because of new tariffs.

President Trump's misguided move to impose sweeping tariffs on more than 90 countries will raise prices on everyday goods like food, clothing and housing, at a time when many families are already struggling with high costs. My full statement ⬇️

With insurers now set to hike premiums in every state across this country, and with Republican cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act becoming law last month, it is clear now more than ever that Congress must prioritize lowering health care costs before it’s too late.

The impacts of President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Betrayal” on hunger are going to be far-reaching. While millions of Americans lose access to food assistance, grocery stores in rural areas could be forced to shut their doors, imperiling access to food for entire communities.
Trump’s big beautiful bill may force your local grocery store to close | CNN Business
Large chains like Walmart, Kroger, and Dollar General can absorb the cuts to SNAP. It’s the small, independent grocers that depend heavily on the program that will be hit hardest.

If ACA premium tax credits expire, it would be a disaster for working families who are already being squeezed by high prices. Health coverage costs would skyrocket for 20 million Americans, and millions more would lose coverage altogether. We must act before it's too late.

I’m leading a new bipartisan bill to exempt America’s four public shipyards, like Portsmouth, from recent hiring freezes and mass layoffs. Our shipyard workforce is an essential part of our national defense – they should have never been subjected to such chaos and uncertainty.
Senators move to block Pentagon from laying off public shipyard workers - Breaking Defense
The legislation comes as the White House has slashed headcount at virtually every agency across the federal government.

Let's be clear: President Trump's "trade deals" are not a win for America. Tariffs—taxes paid for by Americans—remain higher than they were at the start of this senseless trade war, and it will cost working families more than $2,000 a year as a result.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govAug 4(source)
We should support domestic manufacturing, but the reality is that President Trump’s tariffs are doing the exact opposite. We’ve lost manufacturing jobs every month since he announced global tariffs in April, totaling 37,000 lost jobs in this critical sector.

Good news: The Senate unanimously passed my bipartisan resolution to designate Thursday, August 21 as National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. It's important that we continue to draw attention to this crisis as we work on solutions that will save lives.

Here’s the story of Trump’s economy as his tariffs begin to take effect: costs and inflation are up, job opportunities are down. President Trump promised to lower prices, but thanks to his policies it's becoming even more difficult for Americans to get by.

U.S. employment barely budged in July, while prior job gains were revised to be much weaker than initially thought. It's the first major indicator to point to danger ahead for the U.S. economy.

More than half of the civilian employees at Pease are emergency personnel and air traffic controllers. Proposed cuts could devastate the important role they play in supporting emergency services in the region, including at Portsmouth International Airport.
Pease civilian workers face layoffs amid National Guard cuts: Air safety concerns raised
NH congressional leaders raise air safety concerns at Pease in face of civilian worker layoffs amid National Guard cuts.

Prices are already too high. That's why Granite Staters and every business I visit are concerned about President Trump's tariffs.   No matter what happens with the administration's supposed trade "deals," the uncertainty is already causing pain for American families.
