The Women, Peace and Security program that Secretary Hegseth called “woke” and "weak” was passed by a Republican-led Congress and then signed into law by Trump in 2017. But don’t take it from me, Trump administration officials have been plenty vocal in their support for WPS:
Hegseth’s unlawful move to end the bipartisan Women, Peace and Security law weakens America’s global standing. It’s startling that just because the word ‘women’ is in the title, this evidence-based security program has been reduced to a DEI program.
Despite overwhelmingly positive feedback from taxpayers, this administration plans to dismantle the Direct File program. I'm urging the Treasury Secretary and Acting IRS Commissioner to protect and expand this tool that makes tax filing easier and free for millions of Americans.
CBS News has obtained a list of 365 federal grant programs halted this week by the Justice Department, disrupting programs to help victims of hate crime and sex trafficking, children who've suffered violence, and refugees. cbsn.ws/3GuD3CZ
President Trump's reckless trade war isn’t just raising costs for families — it is hurting our defense supply chains and harming our military readiness. Just this week, I visited a key defense manufacturer in NH that is already facing longer wait times and higher prices.
Let's be honest: Pete Hegseth was never qualified to lead the U.S. Department of Defense. The chaos the Secretary created at the Pentagon puts our service members and military readiness at risk. He's not the leader we need at this time.
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov does a great job at talking a lot and saying nothing. Good to join Margaret Brennan on @facethenation.bsky.social to discuss how it's imperative for the U.S. to sustain pressure on Russia to secure a just and lasting peace for Ukraine.
Federally funded Head Start is vital to bringing affordable child care within reach for working families. Trump's mass firings of staff at Head Start and plans to completely eliminate the program are unacceptable. I joined my colleagues in demanding an end to this madness.
Since Day 1, the Trump admin has been attacking Head Start. This program provides pre-K & essential services for nearly 800,000 kids every year. But Trump is freezing funding, firing staff, & wants to eliminate it. I'm demanding Trump & RFK Jr. reverse these actions immediately.
NH Ball Bearings supports local jobs, contributes to our national defense and strengthens U.S. military readiness. I appreciated hearing from them this week about the higher costs and uncertainty they’re facing due to the Trump administration’s reckless trade war.
The YMCA of Greater Nashua’s Merrimack Branch is a terrific resource for Granite State families. It was great to visit today and discuss more ways to address New Hampshire's child care affordability crisis and provider shortage.
I led a discussion at NAMI in Concord to underscore the consequences of Trump’s reckless cuts to life-saving health services. I won't stand for federal funding cuts that make it harder for folks struggling with mental illness and substance use disorder to access services.
This Holocaust Remembrance Day, I join all Granite Staters in mourning the millions of Jewish lives that were senselessly and horrifically taken during the Holocaust. It's as important as ever that we stand side-by-side to denounce antisemitism wherever and whenever we see it.
The truth is, if Trump and Republicans cut Medicaid funding, only America's wealthiest will benefit. I visited Valley Regional Hospital because it's communities like Claremont, NH that would be hurt most when hospitals can’t get reimbursed for health care through Medicaid.
I was incredibly pleased to see firsthand how the vibrant new LaValley Family Community Center fosters a sense of community and boosts quality of life for the entire Newport region. Proud to have worked with advocates to secure funding that helped bring this project to life.
Trump and Republicans need to be reminded just how vital Medicaid is for families. I held a roundtable in the Lakes Region today to hear from some of the Granite Staters who would be impacted if Congressional Republicans follow through with their plan to slash Medicaid.
