The Supreme Court issued a disastrous ruling in Citizens United, and 16 years later, it has allowed our elections to become overrun with corporate money and big donors.
I remain committed to working to overturn this decision to restore power to the hands of the American people.

It was an honor to be recognized at last night’s National Cultural Diversity Council Martin Luther King, Jr. Dinner.
At a moment when hard-won civil rights protections are under pressure, I’m reminded of Dr. King's teachings and our collective duty to show up for our communities.
It's clear President Trump is more interested in threatening our nation's closest allies with steeper tariffs and straining historic partnerships than helping make life more affordable for American families and businesses. (5/5)

And tariffs aren't helping. The price of goods like coffee have spiked thanks to President Trump’s former 50% tariff tax on Brazil. (4/5)

The cost increase is mainly in everyday essentials, like health care, where the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits are forcing families to make exceedingly difficult decisions. (3/5)

Since Trump took office one year ago, Americans are spending an additional $1,625 on essential goods and services. For families across New Hampshire, the number is even higher: $2,100 on average. (2/5)

On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to lower the cost of everything. Yet, at every turn, he has chosen to make life more expensive for American families.
While President Trump calls affordability concerns a "hoax," the numbers tell a different story. 🧵(1/5)
Stories like Teresa’s, who saw her health care premiums spike 620%, have become all too common since the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.
We must come to a bipartisan solution to ease the burden on families across the U.S.

Sen. Shaheen on @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social: "Donald Trump is playing right into the hands of Russia and China."
"Anything that splits the transatlantic alliance, anything that splits NATO, only benefits our adversaries."
As I made clear on @todayshow.com with Senator Murkowski, there is no need to pay for something when both Denmark and Greenland have said they're willing to partner with us on whatever the interests of the United States are.
This morning, I joined @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social from Denmark to emphasize the strong bipartisan support that exists for our U.S.-Denmark relationship and the continued importance of NATO participation.
With too many families struggling to afford everyday essentials like energy and health care, the President should be focused on lowering costs, not buying Greenland with $700 billion of taxpayer money.
For too long the U.S. has been dependent on China for critical minerals that power our economy and strengthen our security.
That’s why I'm introducing a bipartisan bill to create a new Strategic Resilience Reserve to bolster U.S. critical minerals supply.
With the ACA tax credits gone, many Americans are seeing the soaring cost of health insurance and are choosing to opt out entirely. That harms our health care system.
Democrats have been clear - Republicans in Congress and the White House must join us and act.
I’ve already heard from families across New Hampshire about how unaffordable health care has become since the expiration of the ACA tax credits. One of my constituents from New Boston, Darla, will see her family’s premiums spike by $15,000 a year.
Watch below ⬇️
With just about one day left to enroll in health care coverage through the ACA, 1.4 million Americans have already lost health care coverage due to the surging cost of premiums.
We must keep working to find a bipartisan solution that will lower health care costs for families.
The Trump Administration is cutting billions of dollars that help fight the substance use and mental health crises. This completely misguided move will threaten New Hampshire's progress towards increasing access to treatment and endanger the lives of Granite Staters.

Persistent and often dangerous staffing shortages at federal prisons nationwide cause safety concerns for BOP personnel and incarcerated individuals alike. My new, bipartisan bill will help ensure staff within our federal prisons are paid adequately for the critical work they do.
It was great to get a tour of the newly renovated, historic Gafney Home last week.
This energy efficient, affordable housing for older adults is a great example of New Hampshire’s ingenuity when it comes to tackling rising costs.
Americans are looking to Congress to take tangible actions to help ease the affordability crisis. Restoring the ACA tax credits remains one of the best ways that we can do that.
I'm going to keep working in the Senate to find a bipartisan solution.
