Happy Earth Day New Hampshire! We have a duty to protect the world around us, and this morning I joined Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests volunteers at Mt. Major to help with their effort to clean up public trails at the mountain.

Amid Donald Trump and Elon Musk attacking the foundations of Social Security, I stopped by Littleton's Social Security office yesterday. Folks need to know that we're going to do everything we can to keep offices like Littleton's operating for those who rely on their services.

I was appreciative of the chance to speak with Granite Staters at Northern Human Services to hear about their experiences and what the impact would be if Trump and Congressional Republicans slash Medicaid. The message is clear: Folks in the most rural parts of our state will bear the brunt.

The uncertainty created by Trump’s off and on again tariffs are making it impossible for businesses to plan for the future. From steel to chocolate, Granite State businesses are facing rising costs that will ultimately be passed on to consumers. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
From stuffed animals to steel: How Trump’s tariffs are weighing on NH businesses
A toy importer is delaying a new warehouse in Keene, while a steel fabricator in Greenfield worries other projects could dry up if Trump’s tariffs stifle economic growth.

It's beyond belief that anyone in Secretary Hegseth’s position would think that sharing sensitive operational details in an unsecured messaging app, and with family members, is remotely acceptable. My full statement ⬇️ shaheen.senate.gov/shaheen-stat...

Trump claims he wants to revitalize American businesses, but his tariff taxes are having the opposite effect. He's raising prices on working Americans and making it more difficult for small businesses to stay afloat. www.wmur.com/article/tari...
Impact of tariffs tough to avoid for some New Hampshire small businesses
Some New Hampshire business owners say they're trying to plan ahead and budget for tariffs, but it's particularly difficult for those dealing with perishable goods.

Helping Americans afford the treatments they need to battle cancer isn't wasteful government spending. If Trump and Congressional Republicans cut Medicaid, too many Granite Staters will be unable to afford life-saving health care. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/28/m...
In N.H., possible Medicaid cuts could put people battling cancer at risk - The Boston Globe
Researchers say rolling back Medicaid eligibility could undermine preventive care and unwind the program’s progress in the Granite State.

America has a sacred bargain with our veterans: they served our nation, and we honor and care for them after their service. The Trump administration's firing of thousands of Veterans Affairs employees compromises our promise to America’s veterans. www.wmur.com/article/trum...
Senators criticize Trump administration for potential cuts to VA staff
The Trump administration says it's looking for ways to make the government more efficient, but New Hampshire's U.S. senators said Monday that shouldn't come at the expense of veterans.

Today, I joined advocates and educators at the Building Safe Communities conference at Plymouth State University. It's a stark reality that 1 in 3 women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime, and I'll continue working to ensure survivors have the resources and support they need.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govApr 11(source)
I'm pleased to see the Senate unanimously passed my bipartisan resolution with Senator Grassley recognizing April as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. I'll continue working to spread awareness and provide survivors with the resources and support they need to heal.

While Trump cuts public health programs and research funding, #BlackMaternalHealthWeek is a stark reminder that Black moms remain 3x more likely than white moms to die from pregnancy complications. We should be confronting this reality, not gutting the organizations that do so.

Two major tax policies are set to expire this year.   One makes health care accessible for millions of everyday Americans and lowers the cost of life saving care. The other gives a tax break to billionaires.    Guess which one Donald Trump is fighting to save.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govApr 10(source)
Let's be clear: Trump's tariffs are still in effect, and he doesn't care if they cause a recession that would risk millions of Americans losing their jobs. That might not mean much for Trump and his billionaire friends, but for working families, a recession would be devastating.

President Donald Trump was aware the economy could enter a recession, but wanted to avoid a depression, from his tariffs, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit is a proven and effective tool for bringing quality, affordable child care within reach for more families. It’s long past time we expand this tax credit—it’s the right thing to do for workers, families and our nation’s economy.

The Trump administration’s decision to fire needed immigration judges is jeopardizing the U.S. immigration courts’ ability to address a huge backlog of cases. I joined my colleagues in demanding answers from the U.S. Department of Justice.

The American people want a streamlined, humane immigration system. Gutting immigration courts and firing immigration judges only makes matters worse.
