Was great to have @RepDavid in New Hampshire for a bipartisan Joint Economic Committee event on cutting-edge innovation and research happening here. NH businesses are driving innovation that is preparing us for the future, safeguarding our national security, and helping us (cont in image...)

The right to collectively bargain strengthens the middle class & workforces. The President's move to take that right away from VA employees, many of whom are veterans themselves, will make it harder for the VA to attract and retain the high-quality workers veterans deserve (cont in image...)

I visited HealthFirst in Laconia and heard directly from providers how Republican Medicaid cuts are already putting health care at risk in rural Granite State communities – including forcing the upcoming closure of the HealthFirst clinic in Canaan. WATCH ⬇️

President Trump's reckless tariffs are a national sales tax, driving up costs for families and small businesses. I will continue to stand up against the President's tariffs. https://www.nhpr.org/2025-08-07/trumps-broad-tariffs-go-into-effect-just-as-economic-pain-is-surfacing

Meals on Wheels of Grafton County exemplifies the Granite State spirit of generosity and service, and it was great to join volunteers there today. I will keep fighting against the cuts in the GOP budget bill that will leave more Granite Staters hungry.

Planned Parenthood provides Granite Staters with affordable health care. I heard from providers and staff today about how the Trump Administration's efforts to rip funding away from Planned Parenthood threaten cancer screenings and other essential health care for women.

I stopped by HealthFirst Family Care in Laconia to hear about the critical services they provide for Granite Staters.   Community health centers are at risk — and one HealthFirst location has already announced its upcoming closure — because of the Republican budget bill.

Vaccines save lives. This is just the latest in a long line of reckless, dangerous decisions by Secretary Kennedy that put Americans’ public health and safety at risk. https://apnews.com/article/kennedy-vaccines-mrna-pfizer-moderna-1fb5b9436f2957075064c18a6cbbe3c9

National Night Out is a great way for New Hampshire Police Departments to build relationships with their communities, including last night in Manchester. Thank you to New Hampshire law enforcement for all of the work you do to keep us safe.

Great to stop by the New Hampshire State Veterans Advisory Committee summer cookout tonight and hear about the work they are doing to support Granite State veterans.

The Congressional Delegation and I are pushing the Air National Guard to exempt critical public safety roles – like fire fighters & air traffic controllers - from the Administration’s planned civilian employee layoffs. I will keep standing up to keep NH and our military safe.

Canada is New Hampshire's top trading partner, our neighbor, and our friend. But make no mistake: Trump's annexation talk has real consequences. Canadian tourism to NH is down 30% this summer. That's money out of the pockets of NH workers & small business owners.

Happy 235th Birthday to the @USCG! Thank you to the men and women who have kept our waters safe, secure, and free over the years – and for all those who continue to safeguard our freedoms and protect our waters.

This is sickening, wrong, and un-American. The Greatest Generation did not defeat Hitler in Europe only for people to carry Nazi flags here at home. I know that Granite Staters are united in their Live Free or Die values and reject the hatred, cruelty, and bigotry that these (cont in reply...)

Great news: My bipartisan bill to streamline VA health appointment scheduling recently passed out of committee. This will create a one-stop solution to set up appointments with multiple doctors. I will keep working to get this bill signed into law.

This is absurd. The Smithsonian museums are a place where anyone can go and learn about our nation’s history – and that includes the parts of history that the President doesn’t like. https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/2025/07/31/trump-impeachment-smithsonian/

Firing the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics – without evidence – won’t change the reality that families are experiencing. Under President Trump, job growth is declining and costs and inflation are rising. And President Trump keeps making things worse with his (cont in image...)

Americans are rightly concerned about how Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum are increasing their already-high grocery bills. That’s why I’m asking Amazon to share more about the impact tariffs are having on their prices. https://www.axios.com/2025/07/30/amazon-prices-trump-tariffs-senator-letter

On the 60th anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, we should be celebrating how these programs help Granite Staters access affordable health care. Instead, we’re fighting against devastating Republican cuts that will rip care away from millions to give tax breaks to the wealthy.

Did you know that the FDA hasn’t approved a new sunscreen active ingredient since 1999? My bipartisan bill to fix that just passed out of committee – because you shouldn’t have to go all the way to South Korea to get the best sunscreen!

Mary Duquette of Hopkinton & Myra Nikitas of Nashua visit Nashua schools as part of their Traveling Tooth Fairies program, providing cavity prevention care to students. Mary & Myra’s commitment to helping people get dental care is why I named them July’s Granite Staters of the Month.

As families struggle with rising costs, the last thing they need is for medications to get more expensive. President Trump’s reckless tariffs are driving prices up for Americans. https://www.axios.com/2025/07/29/drug-prices-tariffs-eu-trump

This morning, I visited MY TURN in Manchester, which provides important adult education & workforce training services. Their work was put at risk by a chaotic, unilateral funding freeze by the Trump Administration, which was reversed after advocacy from Granite Staters and me.

The Republican budget bill will raise costs across the health care system – even if you already have health insurance. I stopped by Waypoint in Manchester last week to hear more about how this bill will affect Granite Staters trying to get health care. Quoting NH Public Radio

In case you missed it, I launched an investigation into GSK’s decision to discontinue the most prescribed inhaler for young children. Big Pharma cannot abuse the system to enrich their profit margins and rip off taxpayers. Read more from STAT News: Quoting STAT

As Congressional Republicans and the President rush to pass their budget bill that makes life even less affordable for the middle class, a new report shows how the President's tariffs are making July 4th cookouts more expensive for families. Quoting CNBC

Retweeted Senator Angus King: Never have so many been so grievously hurt in the service of so few.

Retweeted Senator Patty Murray: I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

Three years ago today the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. Since then, partisan politicians have continued to take away from more and more women the freedom to make their own health care decisions. We must all continue to stand up for a woman’s fundamental freedom.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans are pushing ahead with a plan that makes massive cuts to Medicaid to give billionaires more tax breaks. Congress should be making health care more affordable for patients, not increasing health care costs for millions of Americans.

W.H. Bagshaw is one example of the many incredible New Hampshire small business that make our state a great place to live and work. Great to celebrate their new home this morning.

Women shouldn’t have to travel hours for basic maternal care. While Republicans push tax breaks for billionaires that will harm rural hospitals, I am pushing for commonsense legislation to give these hospitals the resources they need to keep labor and delivery units open.

We need more information about the U.S. strikes in Iran, including the intelligence that led to this decision. The priority now is to protect U.S. troops in the Middle East and around the globe, and to avoid a broader conflict or U.S. entanglement. Iran must never have a nuclear (cont in image...)

237 years ago, New Hampshire became the 9th state to ratify the constitution! Grateful to call the Live Free or Die state home.

I appreciated the opportunity to answer questions from New Hampshire small business leaders and workers this morning at an event hosted by the Southern New Hampshire Chamber of Commerce. I will continue to work to get small businesses the support that they need.

Congressional Republicans and President Trump are pushing a bill that makes drastic cuts to Medicaid just to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and corporate special interests.   This bill will be disastrous for Granite Staters and I will continue to stand against it.

Honored to celebrate Juneteenth at the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire today.   Juneteenth reminds us to reflect on the history of our state and our country, and to continue fighting for equality for all.

Congratulations to Arlo Mesinschi of Dover, your LEGO creations are truly amazing! Best of luck in the next stage of the competition. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/16/multimedia/12-lego-master-builder-dover/?et_rid=14152260&s_campaign=NH:newsletter

This morning I heard from seniors in Manchester who are concerned about the $500 billion Medicare cut triggered by President Trump's budget bill. Thank you to the Granite Staters who are speaking out about the harms these cuts will cause.

Today marks 250 years of the @USArmy! Thank you for keeping our country safe, secure, and free.

I’m horrified by the assassination of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband, and the attempted assassination of another lawmaker and his wife. Political violence should have no place in our country, and I am praying for the families of Representative Hortman and Senator Hoffman.

Honored to attend the change of command ceremony at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard today. Thank you to Captain Oberdorf and Captain Nice for your service.

Iran must never be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon, and I have worked across the aisle to help ensure that does not happen. The Iranian regime has called for Israel's complete destruction and is a state sponsor of terrorism. Israel is our strongest partner in the Middle East (cont in image...)

Good news: My bipartisan bill to increase penalties on violent criminals who work on behalf of foreign adversaries such as Iran unanimously passed the Senate. Congress is sending a clear message that such behavior will be met with severe consequences.

Secretary Kennedy’s move to fire every member of the CDC's vaccine advisory panel is a direct attack on the health of our communities. Firing these independent experts who review vaccines is dangerous, reckless, and wrong - and is part of the Secretary's anti-science agenda.

AmeriCorps members do critical work for our communities, but the Trump Administration’s funding cuts and firing of AmeriCorps staff are threatening this work. This morning in Manchester, I heard about the impact that the cuts to these programs will have on our communities.

Horrified by the violent attack against peaceful protesters in Colorado yesterday. I am praying for the victims and their families. We must stand united against antisemitism and hate of all forms.

Catherine Reed of Hanover started an innovative program to provide food assistance to Dartmouth Cancer Center patients, helping them access fresh & healthy food donated from local nonprofits. Her determination & compassion is why I named her May’s Granite Stater of the Month.
