Greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare. We’re seeing more devastating floods, expansion of tickborne diseases and increasingly catastrophic wildfires. If this Administration succeeds, our air will be dirtier and natural disasters will be more common and more costly.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 30(source)
For Granite Staters like Jen, Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits are a lifeline and life-saving.      Without them, Jen wouldn't have been able to afford her chemotherapy treatments after she lost her job and health coverage.      We can't let these tax credits expire.

Secretary Bessent is saying the quiet part out loud by admitting that the Trump admin is seeking a "backdoor for privatizing Social Security." They're already ripping health care away from millions on Medicaid and now they've made it clear that your social security is next.

Trump's Treasury Secretary says the Trump Accounts created by the budget bill are a "backdoor for privatizing Social Security"
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 30(source)
If Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits expire, 4 million Americans will lose their health care and 20 million more will see costs skyrocket at a time when prices are already high.       The clock is ticking. We need to take action now to extend these credits.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 30(source)
On the 60th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, we should be celebrating the success of these programs in helping Americans access and afford health care. Instead, we're facing Republican cuts that will raise costs and rip health care away from 15 million people. It's shameful.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 29(source)
Good news: Three of my commonsense bills to lower housing costs and improve affordable housing, especially in rural communities, cleared a key hurdle in the Senate and are moving forward with bipartisan support.

New Hampshire is facing a significant shortage of quality, affordable housing and Granite Staters are paying the price. We need to pursue every avenue available to build new housing and lower costs.

If the Affordable Care Act premium tax credits are allowed to expire in January, 4.2 million Americans will lose their health care coverage and 20 million more will face a 75% price hike. My Health Care Affordability Act would prevent this disaster.

Trump’s trade ‘deal’ with the EU still forces Americans to pay a tax rate that is 10 times what they paid before the President’s trade war. It's hardworking American families and businesses—not Europeans—who will pay the price.   My full statement ⬇️ www.shaheen.senate.gov/shaheen-stat...

I held a roundtable with hospital leaders in Manchester to hear more about the impact of Trump’s Big Beautiful Betrayal. Federal funding cuts are going to make it even harder for providers deliver affordable health care in New Hampshire.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 25(source)
President Trump’s tariffs are not only raising costs for families but also threatening businesses that provide good-paying jobs in our communities. At Brueckner Group in Dover, I heard firsthand about how hard it is to plan for the future when Trump's tariff plans are constantly in flux.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 25(source)
Trump continues to talk about combating waste, fraud and abuse, yet the State Deptment is planning to incinerate $10 million worth of commodities—which were already paid for.   My new legislation with @schatz.bsky.social would prevent this type of wasteful destruction of lifesaving supplies.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 25(source)
The $10 million worth of commodities that the Trump Administration is planning to destroy are family planning supplies. They have absolutely nothing to do with abortions.   This Administration's "reasoning" for wasting millions of taxpayer dollars isn't an explanation, it's an excuse.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 25(source)
The Trump Administration is planning to burn $10 million worth of lifesaving family planning commodities, despite the fact that these supplies have already been paid for by the American taxpayer and they are nowhere near their expiration date.   This isn't just wasteful, it's cruel.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 24(source)
Tariffs are taxes. They're paid by American consumers, and they increase prices on everyday goods. President Trump and Congressional Republicans are bragging about American families paying more and having less money in their pockets.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 24(source)
As the substance use epidemic evolves, so must our response. That’s why I introduced a bipartisan bill to help keep our kids safe by requiring social media companies to report illicit drug activity on their platforms and work with law enforcement to stop it.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 24(source)
President Trump's tariffs are increasing prices on everyday goods and making it harder for Granite State businesses and working families to get by. Our new bipartisan bill would shield small businesses from President Trump's trade war and give Main Street some much-needed relief and certainty.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 23(source)
This new reporting confirms what we already knew to be true: Secretary Hegseth shared classified airstrike plans on Signal and is wholly unqualified to be Secretary of Defense. He must be held accountable. I look forward to reading the full report.

Thanks to President Trump, summer cookouts are about to get even more expensive. At the height of grilling season, the cost of hamburger patties and steaks are hitting record highs, with no end in sight. apnews.com/article/beef...
Beef prices have soared in the US — and not just during grilling season
Anyone firing up the grill this summer already knows hamburgers and steaks are expensive, but the latest numbers show prices have climbed to record highs.

I was proud to help introduce the bipartisan HALT Fentanyl Act, and I'm glad the president has signed it into law so that we can stop the flow of fentanyl into our communities, hold traffickers accountable and save lives. www.wmur.com/article/trum...
