Trump’s tariff taxes are disastrous for businesses and Americans around the country. New Hampshire is going to be particularly hard-hit. The last thing we need is higher gas prices and more expensive heating oil when families are already stretching their paycheck to cover costs.

In honor of #HarrietTubmanDay, I’m renewing my push to put Harriet Tubman, an American icon, on the $20 bill. Women and girls, especially communities of color, deserve to see themselves represented and celebrated – and I won’t stop fighting until we see it through.

I'm glad that many of the planned tariffs on Canada and Mexico have been postponed, but businesses in our state still face uncertainty. I visited American Calan Inc. to learn more about their work and how these tariffs are already impacting them.

Government funding runs out in 1 week and what are Republicans in Congress focused on? Turning your tax dollars into Musk and Trump's slush fund. Republicans must return to the negotiating table to avoid a shutdown and fully fund the government in a responsible, bipartisan way.

Access to quality, affordable child care is among the top concerns I hear about from Granite Staters, and we need to address this challenge head on. That's why I'm working across the aisle to introduce comprehensive legislation that will increase supply and lower costs for families.
Shaheen Introduces Bipartisan, Bicameral Proposal to Make Child Care More Affordable | U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
(Washington, DC) – U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) introduced the Child Care Availability and...

I'm introducing bipartisan legislation to help working families in rural areas maintain access to safe and affordable housing. We have an opportunity to come together to get this done – and I’m encouraging both parties to do just that by advancing our commonsense bill.

The U.S. Department of Defense's decision to rescind a policy that allowed service members to more easily access reproductive care sends a message to service women that they are not as valuable as their male counterparts. msmagazine.com/2025/02/21/p...
Pentagon Reverses Policy of Reimbursement for Abortion Travel—Fighting 'Wokeness' in the Military at the Expense of Service Members
The Pentagon’s decision to rescind abortion travel reimbursements—following Trump’s executive order enforcing the Hyde Amendment—has sparked fierce opposition from lawmakers and veterans' advocates, w...

Some Congressional Republicans want you to believe that cutting Medicaid will save money. In reality, they plan to use those savings to pay for a billionaire tax break. Medicaid cuts would be disastrous for New Hampshire where nearly half of all beneficiaries are children.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 5(source)
Nobody likes long waits at the doctor's office. But we know if Republicans refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, we will lose more than a quarter million jobs, hurting our hospitals, doctors and pharmacies.

Trump’s speech last night sounded more like reality TV than reality. Fact: there aren’t millions of people over 100 years of age fraudulently claiming social security benefits.

President Trump called for an end to people hundreds of years old collecting Social Security benefits — a claim his own administration has debunked.

The Air Traffic Control system needs comprehensive reform and investment, not a temporary fix. My bipartisan legislation would expand the workforce pipeline, enhance training facilities and equipment, improve recruitment and retention efforts and more.

I’m disappointed but not surprised that Trump didn’t utter a single word about improving access to child care tonight. If Trump really wanted to lower the cost of everything then ensuring access to quality, affordable child care would be a top priority.

Trump, the best thing you can do for U.S. shipbuilding is leave Portsmouth Naval Shipyard alone and stop messing with the workforce that keeps our country safe and strong. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/03/m...

Tariffs won't lower costs for Americans. Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico alone will increase food costs by $110 for families. So next time you’re at the grocery store and shocked by your high bill, thank Trump.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 5(source)
Speaking of the budget: let's not forget that House Republicans want to gut Medicaid. If Trump gets his way here, billionaires will win big and folks who are just trying to access affordable health care will lose.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 5(source)
POTUS's real tax plan? To give his billionaire friends like Elon Musk a tax break on the backs of working people. During his campaign, Trump promised voters he wouldn't touch programs like Medicaid or Social Security but the proposed Republican budget tells a different story.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 5(source)
As elected officials we need to be responsible with your tax dollars and cut waste where we can. But instead of working across the aisle, DOGE is using a wrecking ball to indiscriminately target vital programs and services that Granite Staters rely on.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 5(source)
We know energy efficiency is the cheapest, fastest way to deal with our energy needs. Trump’s decision to cut off funding for clean energy projects and halt energy efficiency programs won't lower costs for Americans—it'll raise energy prices.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 4(source)
Republicans blocked my bill to lower costs for Americans. My bill would have helped ensure that households across the country are not forced to pay higher prices on everyday goods because of Trump's reckless tariffs on Canada and Mexico.
