Overdose reversal agents like Naloxone save lives. To help more veterans who are struggling with substance use disorder, I introduced legislation that would allow veterans and their caregivers to more easily get these lifesaving treatments at no cost at their local VA clinics.

We now know that in President Trump's first year, job growth stalled, adding the fewest jobs since 2020—a recession year. Americans are anxious about the job market and high costs. It's time President Trump focuses on such concerns, not brush them off as a "hoax." www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
U.S. added 130,000 jobs in January, but labor market growth stalled in 2025
The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that U.S. employers added 181,000 jobs last year, far fewer than the 1.46 million jobs that were added in 2024.

It was a pleasure to join my friend, former Ambassador Swett, to express support for our Danish allies and discuss the future of NATO—which remains critical to our national security. Thank you to the World Affairs Council of New Hampshire for hosting such an important conversation.

Supporting America’s domestic critical minerals supply chain is key for our national security and economic security. My bill does just that, while boosting New Hampshire’s economy, home to leading rare earth refining company Phoenix Tailings.

As I warned in a letter to Secretary Bessent last year, reckless cuts at the IRS have left it woefully unprepared this tax season. Unfortunately, it’s taxpayers who will bear the brunt of the cuts, with refund delays and error rates expected to surge. www.govexec.com/management/2...
'Setting this agency up for failure': Amid staffing crunch, IRS taps employees with no relevant experience to assist during filing season
The tax agency is taking unusual steps to prepare for its busy season after watchdog finds it is severely underprepared.

Continued investigation and treatment for victims of anomalous health incidents is critical to the health of our national security personnel. @deptofwar.bsky.social must do right by these victims. www.cbsnews.com/news/senator...
Sens. Jeanne Shaheen, Susan Collins urge Pentagon not to sideline Havana Syndrome research

While we've made great strides towards ending the substance use epidemic, too many veterans are still losing their lives due to overdoses. I’m proud to introduce a new, bipartisan bill to help veterans and their caregivers more easily access overdose reversal agents at no cost.
Veterans can easily buy naloxone at CVS but not at the VA. A bipartisan bill wants to change that.
Veterans could get free naloxone at VA clinics without a prescription under a bipartisan bill targeting overdose prevention.

In just the past week, President Trump has threatened our allies, from Canada to South Korea, with reckless tariffs. The President’s on-a-whim strategy isn’t just hurting our allies; it’s directly impacting Granite Staters, who are struggling to afford everyday essentials.

When family emergencies strike, workers need flexibility to respond. 32 years ago, the Family and Medical Leave Act was signed into law to do just that. Our work isn’t over. I’ll keep fighting so workers don’t have to compromise a paycheck to take care of unexpected emergencies.

Securing reliable, domestic supplies of critical minerals will create jobs and strengthen our economic and national security. I'm leading the bipartisan SECURE Minerals Act to help power the industries of the future. Learn more below⬇️

The President is dead wrong when he calls my constituents' affordability concerns a "hoax". In the Granite State alone, housing costs are up $570 for families since Donald Trump stepped into the White House. www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...
NEW REPORT: During Trump’s First Year, Families Spent Over $1,600 More Because of Inflation

Today is the anniversary of the ratification of the 15th Amendment, which cemented the right to vote for African American men. At a time when hard-won civil rights are under pressure, we must uphold the core pillar of American democracy: Free and fair elections.

It's always great to be in the North Country. Recently, I visited Cranmore Mountain to discuss snow monitoring legislation, heard from leaders in Berlin about rural health care challenges and even got to see some ski jumping at the historic "Big Nansen." www.conwaydailysun.com/news/local/s...
Ski areas welcome Northeast snowpack monitoring
CONWAY — Last weekend’s 16-inch-plus powder snowstorm was welcomed by New Hampshire’s winter sports industry.
