We know weapons from the Indo-Pacific have been moved to the Middle East and that China is part of an Axis with Iran.
China is our biggest competitor and threat. When we take actions like in Iran that give China an opening, it is to the detriment of the U.S.

The images on our currency tell America's story, and it's long past time a woman was featured.
On Harriet Tubman Day, let’s celebrate the contributions of women by finally passing my legislation to put Harriet Tubman, a civil rights leader who shaped our nation, on the $20 bill.
My constituents are already feeling the consequences of President Trump’s war in Iran.
Heating oil and gas prices are rising sharply across New Hampshire thanks to President Trump, worsening the affordability crisis many in our state already face.
U.S. courts shouldn’t be working in service of authoritarian regimes. A new, bipartisan bill I'm leading would stop foreign governments and their proxies from using meritless "SLAPP" suits to intimidate those who are speaking out against their oppressors.
As families struggle with high costs, remember how the President has responded: Tax cuts for the nation’s wealthiest and stalling tactics on returning the tariff tax revenue it illegally collected from American families.

Buying a home is a milestone in the lives of so many families.
We must expand access to homeownership for young people in our state. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will do just that. I'm working in a bipartisan manner to ensure it passes the Senate to deliver real results.
As part of my Affordability Action Tour, I visited new housing renovations being done at Normandin Square Apartments in Laconia.
With housing costs near record highs, I'm proud to have secured federal funding to expand access to affordable housing and bring costs down.
Granite Staters were justifiably concerned by ICE's plans for a facility in Merrimack.
To empower local communities, I introduced a bill requiring ICE to consult with local officials to ensure their voices are heard ⬇️

At every step in our nation’s history, women have played an integral role in shaping the future of our country.
This Women’s History Month, I’m reflecting on all the trailblazers, past and present, who have led the push for a more equitable and just future for women and girls across America.
Access to safe, stable housing is a critical component of healing. I'm proud to introduce legislation with bipartisan support to help survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence or sex-trafficking land on their feet and build better lives.

Americans have lost billions footing the bill for the Administration's illegal tariff regime.
Although the President has made clear he would rather keep this money, our courts say otherwise. He must stop stalling and refund the American people the taxes he unlawfully collected.
I was honored to receive the Congressional Leadership Award from the National Job Corps Association.

No one mourns the death of the Ayatollah. But the American people have unanswered questions about our objectives, what the President’s strategy is to achieve them and whether this attack was driven by America’s national security interest.
My full statement on tonight's vote:
Americans want solutions on affordability.
Instead, the President is choosing to burden the American people by spiking gas prices as he recklessly plunges the U.S. into a war with no clear strategy.
Senator Shaheen: "We are spending billions of dollars with the build up in the Middle East."
"The Administration has said we can't afford to help people with keeping their health insurance because that's too expensive, but it's not too expensive to go to war."
The founding fathers set up the Congress as the body that should determine whether to declare war or not because they didn't want the leader of this country to turn into a despot or an autocrat who was going to make decisions without the will of the people.
It's fair to say that there is real concern about who is controlling America's foreign policy—is it President Trump or Prime Minister Netanyahu? The rationale from this Administration, on the timing, strategy and endgame for these attacks is not clear at all.
The President hasn't laid out a clear strategy. He's not shared that with the American people. He's not shared that with Congress.
He's decided to go to war without authorization from Congress and the threat of escalation continues.
