We should be working to lower energy costs for folks across the country, but Trump’s actions to cut off funding for clean energy, halt energy efficiency programs and level tariffs on heating oil, propane and gasoline are going to do the exact opposite.
By blocking federal funding for good projects, President Trump is stiffing working Americans, small businesses and our communities. The American people elected Donald Trump to lower energy costs—instead he's actively doing the opposite and causing financial hardship.
Despite what Trump might have said, slashing Medicaid is on the table in the U.S. House.   All so that Republicans in Congress, Trump and Elon Musk can come up with trillions to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy in this country.
I’ve heard from far too many Granite Staters forced to ration their life-saving medications because costs are too high. It’s unacceptable. Our legislation would allow prescription drugs to be imported from pharmacies in Canada increasing competition and lowering costs.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau keeps scammers, fraudsters and predatory companies in check, protecting you and your hard-earned dollars. By dismantling CFPB, Trump and Elon Musk are protecting their billionaire friends and corporate insiders at your expense.
Last week, I offered an amendment to the Senate Republican budget resolution to prevent health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans by extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits. Republicans voted it down.
One in seven Granite Staters get their health insurance through Medicaid, including nearly 100,000 children. This morning, I joined providers, advocates and Medicaid recipients to discuss how potential Republican-led cuts would hurt their lives and communities.
Let's be clear, what Trump promised was not that he was going to come in and indiscriminately fire people and cut services. He said he was going to lower the cost of everything from food to rent to energy costs. He hasn't done any of that.
Elon Musk is sowing more confusion with his latest email over the weekend to federal employees. Trump's administration has done nothing but create uncertainty and chaos at every level of our government. Why aren't they focusing on lowering costs?
Federal workers are getting emails asking them to explain the work they did last week. Elon Musk says not responding "will be taken as a resignation."
Too many Americans are struggling with the cost of living—and what is President Trump doing? Proposing tariffs that would raise prices on everyday items Halting federal funding that families rely on Firing employees who live and work in our communities www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/e...
Firing 1,000s of VA employees, many of whom are veterans themselves, is unacceptable. This will only make it harder for our veterans to access care. We should put veterans first, which is why I joined my colleagues in calling for the VA to reverse these mass terminations.
Elon Musk's indiscriminate effort to fire critical federal employees isn't based on expertise or experience.   At a time when accidents in our skies have been increasing, they fired hundreds of FAA employees—folks that we need to keep Americans safe.
Giving tax cuts to the wealthiest while gutting programs families rely on—that’s the Republican plan. Democrats just tried to pass an amendment that would prevent a tax cut for those earning more than one billion dollars. Senate Republicans blocked it.
To best support law enforcement and keep our nation safe, it's critical the FBI remains independent of political interference. Kash Patel has made clear his priority will be retribution over the good of the American people. I voted no on his confirmation to be FBI Director.
Trump’s short-sighted federal funding stoppage does nothing to enhance public safety or keep our communities safe. In fact, it does the opposite. Programs that help Granite State police and law enforcement agencies are now facing an unknown future.
Today marks the annual Day of Remembrance of Japanese American Incarceration. It's a day for reflection on the unjust internment of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II and a reminder that we must ensure this treatment never happens again.
3 weeks into Trump’s halting of federal funding and folks across NH still don’t know if grants and projects they've been working on for years are in jeopardy. This uncertainty is bad for business, bad for our communities and bad for Granite Staters.
In the wake of the deadliest commercial aviation incident on U.S. soil in more than 23 years, the last thing we should be doing is firing scores of critical employees at the Federal Aviation Administration. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
