At a time when tariffs and rising prices are squeezing New Hampshire small businesses, it’s especially important to recognize the extraordinary contributions small business owners and entrepreneurs make. It was a pleasure to celebrate their achievements today in Manchester.

House Republicans' budget proposal? Boot 13.7 million Americans from their health insurance to make life easier for billionaires. It's outrageous – and it's imperative that we reject this "plan" in a bipartisan way.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 12(source)
During #NationalWomensHealthWeek, we have to push back against the Trump Administration's attacks on women's health care. We should be lowering barriers to care, not raising them. No matter what, I'm committed to improving access and lowering the cost of women's health care.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 9(source)
65 years ago, in a milestone medical breakthrough, the FDA approved the first birth-control pill. We should be working to support the next milestone breakthrough. Instead, this administration is dismantling our research institutions and restricting access to reproductive care.

I think we can all get behind making the federal government work better, but when we do it in a way that allows millions of tons of food and medicine to rot because we’ve cut funding that ensures it gets to the people who need it, that is not efficient and effective.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 7(source)
The popular Energy Star program helps households and businesses SAVE money on their energy bills. Cutting this program wouldn't lower costs for working Americans—it's another rash attempt by the Administration to line the pockets of billionaires and utility companies. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
Trump plans to end Energy Star home appliance program amid EPA reorganization
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to end Energy Star, a program whose iconic blue labels have certified the energy efficiency of home appliances for more than three decades, as part of its broader reorganization, two sources briefed on the reorganization told Reuters.

Cutting 80,000 workers from the VA, threatening the future of Social Security offices and taking a chainsaw to efforts that bolster the U.S.'s global standing isn't efficient—it's destructive, and it's working Americans who will lose access to the programs they rely on.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 7(source)
Proud to introduce the Defense Workforce Integration Act with bipartisan support in both the Senate and House. As our defense workforce faces recruitment and retention challenges for vital roles, we should be doing all we can to fill vacancies that bolster our national security.

New data from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirms what we feared: If Congressional Republicans get their way and gut Medicaid, millions of Americans—including children and seniors—will lose their health insurance entirely. Time to scrap this misguided proposal.

#JewishAmericanHeritageMonth is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of the vibrant Jewish American communities in New Hampshire and across the nation. We must also reaffirm our commitment to rooting out hatred and bigotry—antisemitism has no place in America.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of the Granite State’s economy, but it’s getting more costly and difficult for local entrepreneurs to open up shop. Our commonsense legislation would give entrepreneurs a helping hand up so they can succeed and fuel job growth.

Upfront costs are one of the biggest barriers to starting a new business. This National Small Business Week, I’m introducing commonsense legislation to increase the startup tax deduction and help Nevada’s entrepreneurs pursue their dream of starting a business.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 6(source)
Congressional Republicans are looking for $880 billion in federal funding to cut so that they can slash taxes for the wealthiest. Their #1 target: Medicaid. Targeting the health care children, disabled folks and those in long-term care depend on, is cruel and out of touch.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 6(source)
On the campaign trail, President Trump said he was going to lower prices on housing, food, energy and more. He's done none of that in his first 100 days. What he's done is embark on a tariff war that is having significant impacts on businesses across New Hampshire.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 6(source)
It’s National Nurses Day, and I want to thank all the nurses in New Hampshire and across the U.S. for the compassionate, life-saving care they provide. We can always do more to support nurses. I’ll keep working to increase access to training programs that address care shortages.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 5(source)
Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek to all the educators in the Granite State and beyond! As a former teacher, I couldn’t be more appreciative of the hard work teachers put in every day to provide the best education possible for their students.

In light of recent reports that Elon Musk used his White House role to advance his own personal business interests abroad, President Trump must immediately open an investigation into this flagrant corruption. www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-mu...
Democratic senators call for investigation into Elon Musk’s foreign Starlink deals
In a letter Friday to President Donald Trump, several Democratic senators accused Musk of “the possibility of self-dealing” while in government.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 5(source)
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and a reminder that we need more federal resources, not less, to make care more accessible. Trump must release the more than $80 million that New Hampshire relies on from Health and Human Services to address public health crises, including mental health care.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 1(source)
Trump's Tariff Taxes are hurting American businesses—including businesses essential to our national security. I recently visited New Hampshire Ball Bearings to learn more about how their business is being disrupted.
