President Trump's tariffs are increasing prices on everyday goods and making it harder for Granite State businesses and working families to get by. Our new bipartisan bill would shield small businesses from President Trump's trade war and give Main Street some much-needed relief and certainty.

This new reporting confirms what we already knew to be true: Secretary Hegseth shared classified airstrike plans on Signal and is wholly unqualified to be Secretary of Defense. He must be held accountable. I look forward to reading the full report.

SCOOP: The Pentagon inspector general has received evidence that messages from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Signal account previewing a bombing campaign in Yemen derived from a classified email labeled “SECRET/NOFORN,” people familiar w/ the matter said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Thanks to President Trump, summer cookouts are about to get even more expensive. At the height of grilling season, the cost of hamburger patties and steaks are hitting record highs, with no end in sight. apnews.com/article/beef...
Beef prices have soared in the US — and not just during grilling season
Anyone firing up the grill this summer already knows hamburgers and steaks are expensive, but the latest numbers show prices have climbed to record highs.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 23(source)
I was proud to help introduce the bipartisan HALT Fentanyl Act, and I'm glad the president has signed it into law so that we can stop the flow of fentanyl into our communities, hold traffickers accountable and save lives. www.wmur.com/article/trum...
President Donald Trump signs bipartisan legislation cracking down on illicit fentanyl
President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan legislation on Wednesday aimed at cracking down on the trafficking of fentanyl.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 23(source)
In addition to bolstering efforts to tackle sky-high housing, food and energy costs for Granite State families, I'm proud to have secured investments in several infrastructure upgrades across New Hampshire's rural communities. mykeenenow.com/news/219912-...
Shaheen secures millions for critical Monadnock Region projects in federal spending bill - My Keene Now
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MyKeeneNow) U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen has announced more than $14.7 million in federal funding for critical New Hampshire projects as part of the fiscal year 2026 Agriculture, Rura...
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 22(source)
The budget bill that President Trump and Congressional Republicans jammed through is one big betrayal of everyday Americans who will pay higher prices on energy, housing and health care. All so that they can give their billionaire friends millions in tax breaks.
Sen. Shaheen: 46,000 in NH to lose Medicaid due to Trump's bill
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-New Hampshire, expects 46,000 New Hampshire residents will lose healthcare from Medicaid cuts in "Big Beautiful Bill."
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 22(source)
We need every tool possible to stop the flow of fentanyl into our communities to save lives. I'm alarmed by the Trump administration's decision to delay funding for data-driven treatment and prevention efforts and urge them to release these funds immediately.
White House says U.S. fentanyl overdose programs will be funded 'in increments'
CDC staffers worry $140 million in grants could fail to reach state and local overdose programs. The White House officials say the dollars will arrive but won't say when.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 22(source)
I was very disappointed to see the Senate pass Republican cuts that will jeopardize public broadcasting. They're funding tax cuts for billionaires by taking away funding for resources that people rely on for local news and alerts in emergencies.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 21(source)
The numbers are in and consumers are expected to pay 75% more for health care if the Republican majority doesn’t act ASAP. That's unacceptable. My Health Care Affordability Act would prevent costs from skyrocketing by making the ACA enhanced premium tax credits permanent.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 21(source)
Trump's misguided tariffs on Mexico and the European Union will make a laundry list of products more expensive for Americans. From tomatoes and avocados to cars and computers, families are going to feel the pain when they have to pay more for products they rely on. www.wmur.com/article/amer...
Trump's latest tariffs could have Americans paying more for these items from Mexico and EU
If Trump follows through with the 30% tariffs, here's what Americans could shell out more money for.

I was glad to welcome General Reed to Pease Air National Guard Base to see first-hand the essential role that New Hampshire’s 157th Air Refueling Wing plays in maintaining our national security. I look forward to working with General Reed to support the service members at Pease.

The VA should be doing everything possible to protect veterans from claim sharks who prey on veterans filing for benefits. Proud to join @whitehouse.senate.gov and @senangusking.bsky.social ‪on a bill to make sure the VA takes measures to warn veterans about predatory practices.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 18(source)
It's been two weeks since President Trump signed the Big Betrayal into law. If you think that this bill won't affect you, think again. Costs are going to rise for working families all to give handouts to the ultra wealthy. Republicans' plan? Take from the poor to give to the rich.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 18(source)
This week, I released my new report detailing how the Trump Administration’s first six months have significantly undermined America's ability to compete with China—by cutting our diplomatic infrastructure and retreating on the global stage. Watch to learn more ⬇️
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 17(source)
In recent years, we’ve seen the startling role that social media has played in fueling the substance use disorder crisis by making it easier for young people to get their hands on dangerous drugs. Today, Senator Roger Marshall and I are renewing our bipartisan push to crack down on it.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 17(source)
Medicaid is a lifeline that the Republicans’ “big beautiful bill” will rip away from tens of thousands of Granite Staters. Taking health care away from families isn’t beautiful, it’s cruel. newhampshirebulletin.com/2025/07/14/c...
Congress passed Trump’s massive ‘big beautiful bill.’ Here’s how New Hampshire will feel it. • New Hampshire Bulletin
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act was passed by the Republican-controlled Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump at the beginning of the month, and it affects huge swaths of the federal g...

As I told Bret Baier on Special Report, the Trump admin’s lack of strategy and chaotic cuts are giving China the advantage. But it's not too late to reverse course, and that starts with rebuilding our soft power—as I laid out in my new minority report with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 16(source)
From weather forecasts to educational programming, public TV and radio are critical sources of information. For Americans in rural areas, it's often the only source of news in emergencies. Cutting funding for public broadcasting is reckless and shameful.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govJul 16(source)
There’s bipartisan consensus around the threat that China poses to American security and prosperity.   Under President Trump, America is retreating from the global stage and China is gaining ground. Is it vital that we reverse course.
