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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For 90 years, Americans have relied on Social Security to anchor their retirement planning. While the Trump administration continues to place social security under attack, I'll never stop fighting to protect it for today's older adults and future generations to come.

The Mount Washington Observatory is a world-class research institution situated atop our most iconic peak. I was glad to visit the observatory to see firsthand the snowcat they acquired with federal funding I fought for. I even had the honor of being the first one to test it out!

The Big Beautiful Betrayal is threatening the survival of hospitals in the most rural parts of NH. I led a roundtable at MaineHealth Memorial Hospital in North Conway to discuss how we can support affordable care in the North Country despite devastating federal health care cuts.

The new bipartisan bill I’m leading with Senators Maggie Hassan, Susan Collins and Angus King—the Protecting Public Naval Shipyards Act—would codify the hiring freeze exemption we secured for the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard workforce. Let’s get this done. www.fosters.com/story/news/l...
NH, Maine senators aim to protect Portsmouth Naval Shipyard jobs
NH and Maine senators see threat to jobs and hiring at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and introduce legislation to protect against it.

It's great to see federal funding headed to the Manchester VA to make much-needed repairs and infrastructure and technology updates. These critical improvements will help keep the facility up and running for the Granite State veterans who rely on the VA for health care. news.va.gov/press-room/v...
VA to spend additional $800M on infrastructure improvements this year - VA News
VA realigns an additional $800 million this fiscal year for its Non-Recurring Maintenance program to make infrastructure improvements to health care facilities.

For Granite Staters, basic necessities—housing, food, electricity and health care—are too expensive. We need to advance policies that lower costs, like investing in clean energy and extending the ACA Enhanced Premium Tax Credits, but President Trump is focused on doing the opposite.
New Hampshire manufacturing expected to take hit from tariffs on Canadian raw materials
Some New Hampshire manufacturers say they're dealing with longer wait times and increased costs because of new tariffs.
