Access to quality, affordable child care is among the top concerns I hear about from Granite Staters, and we need to address this challenge head on.
That's why I'm working across the aisle to introduce comprehensive legislation that will increase supply and lower costs for families.

I'm introducing bipartisan legislation to help working families in rural areas maintain access to safe and affordable housing.
We have an opportunity to come together to get this done – and I’m encouraging both parties to do just that by advancing our commonsense bill.
The U.S. Department of Defense's decision to rescind a policy that allowed service members to more easily access reproductive care sends a message to service women that they are not as valuable as their male counterparts.

Some Congressional Republicans want you to believe that cutting Medicaid will save money. In reality, they plan to use those savings to pay for a billionaire tax break.
Medicaid cuts would be disastrous for New Hampshire where nearly half of all beneficiaries are children.
Nobody likes long waits at the doctor's office.
But we know if Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, we will lose more than a quarter million jobs, hurting our hospitals, doctors and pharmacies.
Trump’s speech last night sounded more like reality TV than reality.
Fact: there aren’t millions of people over 100 years of age fraudulently claiming social security benefits.
The Air Traffic Control system needs comprehensive reform and investment, not a temporary fix.
My bipartisan legislation would expand the workforce pipeline, enhance training facilities and equipment, improve recruitment and retention efforts and more.
I’m disappointed but not surprised that Trump didn’t utter a single word about improving access to child care tonight.
If Trump really wanted to lower the cost of everything then ensuring access to quality, affordable child care would be a top priority.
Trump, the best thing you can do for U.S. shipbuilding is leave Portsmouth Naval Shipyard alone and stop messing with the workforce that keeps our country safe and strong.

Tariffs won't lower costs for Americans.
Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico alone will increase food costs by $110 for families.
So next time you’re at the grocery store and shocked by your high bill, thank Trump.
Speaking of the budget: let's not forget that House Republicans want to gut Medicaid.
If Trump gets his way here, billionaires will win big and folks who are just trying to access affordable health care will lose.
POTUS's real tax plan?
To give his billionaire friends like Elon Musk a tax break on the backs of working people.
During his campaign, Trump promised voters he wouldn't touch programs like Medicaid or Social Security but the proposed Republican budget tells a different story.
As elected officials we need to be responsible with your tax dollars and cut waste where we can.
But instead of working across the aisle, DOGE is using a wrecking ball to indiscriminately target vital programs and services that Granite Staters rely on.
We know energy efficiency is the cheapest, fastest way to deal with our energy needs.
Trump’s decision to cut off funding for clean energy projects and halt energy efficiency programs won't lower costs for Americans—it'll raise energy prices.
Republicans blocked my bill to lower costs for Americans.
My bill would have helped ensure that households across the country are not forced to pay higher prices on everyday goods because of Trump's reckless tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
I'm headed to the Senate floor soon to condemn Trump's sweeping new tariffs on Canada and Mexico and to force a vote on my bill that would protect American businesses and consumers from rising prices caused by tariffs on imported goods.

On the campaign trail, Trump promised to leave the Social Security Administration alone.
Now, he's firing the employees who help Americans access their hard-earned benefits all so that he can cut taxes for billionaires.

Trump's new tariffs on Canada and Mexico won't:
❌Lower your grocery bill
❌Help small businesses
❌Make America stronger or safer
Trump's tariffs will:
⬆️ Raise prices on everything from groceries to energy to housing
ICYMI: Last week, I spoke with Granite State providers, advocates and Medicaid recipients about the devastating harms folks would face if Republicans gut Medicaid.
I’ll keep pursuing every avenue available to protect Medicaid and prevent health care costs from rising.
I’m honored to have Rebecca Hamilton, Co-owner and Co-CEO of Badger in Gilsum, New Hampshire, joining me for the Joint Address to Congress to call attention to the harmful and costly impact of President Trump’s proposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada.
