Families are already struggling with high costs, and allowing these tax credits to expire would make things much worse. My bill would permanently extend them and prevent costs from skyrocketing. Both sides know we need to act, and I hope Senate Republicans don’t stand in the way.

New: GOP Senate leader Thune keeps door open to extending expiring Obamacare tax credits Trump-linked pollsters are raising alarms that MAGA voters will punish Republicans in 2026 if premiums go up. Dems want the money extended in gov’t fund or another vehicle. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

This National Recovery Month, I stand with the thousands of Granite State families whose lives have been touched by addiction and the courageous Granite Staters working to overcome it. I'll continue fighting in Congress to expand access to treatment and secure recovery resources.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govSep 2(source)
Granite Staters are feeling the squeeze from President Trump's tariff taxes and they can't afford it. My legislation would rein in the president's inflationary policies, providing desperately needed relief. It's time for Republicans in Congress to stand up for working families.
NH poll: Tariffs fuel concern over rising prices
Nearly six in 10 New Hampshire residents who say prices have gone up attribute the hike to Trump administration tariff policies according to a new independent poll.

While Granite Staters are struggling with rising utility bills, federal funding is ready to help families with energy efficient heat pumps, insulation and other retrofits that help lower their monthly bills. It's time to put these dollars to work for New Hampshire families.
NH executive councilors question state energy officials over unspent federal funds
Without extensions from Washington, New Hampshire could end up leaving millions of dollars on the table.

As parents send their children back to school, prices on everything from lunches to essential supplies, like notebooks and pencils, are sky high thanks to Trump's tariffs. It's a budgeting disaster for families who are already feeling squeezed by the affordability crisis.
Tariffs are giving parents back-to-school sticker shock | CNN Business
Parents who are back-to-school shopping are finding that prices are higher and there are fewer deals.

62 years ago today, Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington marked a watershed moment in the civil rights movement and the fight to secure full equality under the law for all Americans. It's on all of us to uphold that promise and continue Dr. King’s work.

Child care isn't a luxury good, it's a basic necessity. High quality, affordable child care provides families with the stability and flexibility they need to thrive, but for too many families it remains out of reach.
From $24,000 to $147,000: How Much Daycare Costs Across America
For working parents, the first five years of a child’s life are often the most financially draining. Explore this interactive map to see how costs vary across the U.S.

I'm heartbroken by reports of the horrific violence at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis this morning and am grateful for our emergency first responders. It's back-to-school week. Parents, students and teachers should not have to fear gun violence in our classrooms.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govAug 26(source)
If Republicans allow the ACA enhanced premium tax credits to expire, out-of-pocket premiums will increase by more than 75% on average for ACA marketplace enrollees. Working Americans can't afford that. My bill would prevent these costs from skyrocketing.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govAug 26(source)
President Trump's attacks on the Federal Reserve and attempt to fire a Fed governor will raise prices for families already struggling to make ends meet. Imposing the highest tariffs since the Great Depression while repeating Nixon’s attacks on the Fed is this president's recipe for disaster.

On Women’s Equality Day, we mark 105 years since the adoption of the 19th Amendment, which granted many women the right to vote. Today, we commemorate the tireless work of generations of suffragettes and continue to build on their efforts to achieve gender equality for all.

Happy Birthday to the National Park Service! In NH, you can celebrate by visiting the beautiful Saint-Gaudens National Historical Park or a section of the Appalachian Trail. I'll continue working in Congress to support and preserve our treasured Granite State places.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govAug 25(source)
President Trump's Big Beautiful Betrayal is increasing the cost of health care and making it more difficult to access the care you need. Before the President signed these disastrous cuts, many of NH's hospitals and health care centers were struggling. Now, the situation is dire.

On National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, we must remember the many lives that have been lost to this deadly drug. I'm proud to have helped pass a resolution to recognize this day nationwide and refocus our efforts to end this crisis.

Mount Washington is integral not only to New Hampshire's heritage, but also to our economy. It was great to ride up to the summit to tour the weather station, see all the tourists and Granite Staters who had made the trip up and, of course, to enjoy the stunning view.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govAug 19(source)
In the wake of health care cuts in the Big Beautiful Betrayal, we can’t let ACA tax credits that make health insurance affordable expire. We have to sound the alarm. If these credits go away, health insurance costs will skyrocket and more Americans will lose coverage.

Around New England, health care providers and experts warned those cuts are a damaging blow to a health system that was already in trouble. At least two other health facilities in New Hampshire have announced they will close in the fall amid federal Medicaid cuts.

Health care cuts in the Big Beautiful Betrayal are just another step in the Trump administration's dangerous campaign to roll back women's reproductive freedoms. Access to contraception is a fundamental right that I will keep fighting for. www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...
Trump cuts threaten access to birth control for millions of women
Birth control is routine for many Americans and polls show it's popular across party lines. Now, the Trump administration is withholding funds that provide contraception for low income people.

I was pleased to visit Mid-State’s new diagnostic health center—a critical facility for the Plymouth area. Community Health Centers are concerned that their affordable and accessible services will be impacted by devastating Republican-led cuts in the Big Beautiful Betrayal.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govAug 14(source)
It was great to visit Brothers Cortado in Concord—and to try their refreshing iced tea!   The small business is facing higher prices due to President Trump's tariffs on coffee bean imports. This administration's trade war is raising the cost of everything, including your morning brew.
