Americans shouldn't have to pay more than $35 a month for the insulin they need to survive.
I’m continuing to push to get my bipartisan INSULIN Act across the finish line and lower costs for families.

“Congress banned Russian energy imports in 2022. @POTUS cannot simply ignore that law to buy diesel from Putin.
The law mandates consultation with Congress and a formal review process. The Administration appears to have bypassed both.” - @SenatorShaheen

New Hampshire’s small businesses deserve the resources they need to grow and thrive.
I’m proud to have helped secure over $2 million in Congressionally Directed Spending to expand access to advising, training and other key resources to power our Granite State business owners.

Live streaming an execution is an abhorrent act straight from the playbook of our adversaries, like Iran and the Taliban.
This spectacle has no place in our nation and should offend all Americans. Pete Hegseth is a stain on our nation and needs to go.

Correct.
No Granite Stater should ever face homelessness because of the Trump Administration's incompetence.
That's why I led our delegation in calling on @HUDgov to take action immediately to restore funding that housing organizations in our state rely on⬇️

Two former top Trump aides advising the government of Republika Srpska “should cause a political firestorm,” says @SenatorShaheen, who is on a visit to Bosnia. “It’s being done at the expense of Bosnia Herzegovina & the unity to this country… This is not in America’s interest.”

The state you live in shouldn’t determine whether you can afford the insulin you need to live.
By capping monthly insulin costs at $35 a month, my INSULIN Act would ensure that's never the case.
With broad bipartisan support, the time is now to get my legislation passed.

Investing in energy efficiency is a commonsense way to lower costs for families, create jobs and help protect our environment.
I’m proud that the Senate once again passed my bipartisan resolution marking today as Energy Efficiency Day.

Now is the time to put pressure on Vladimir Putin.
The Trump Administration must implement new sanctions on Russia to bring Putin to the negotiating table and end his war against Ukraine.

Today, @SenatorShaheen issued a statement condemning the Trump Administration’s decision to not invite @OSCE election observers for the upcoming midterm elections, breaking from an over 20-year tradition aimed at upholding election integrity. ️

With affordable early education out of reach for too many, we should be strengthening Head Start.
Instead, the Trump Administration is weakening standards and jeopardizing services that have successfully served children and families for over 50 years.

Millions have lost SNAP benefits because of senseless cuts in Republicans’ “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Families are already struggling to afford groceries, and SNAP cuts will make it even harder to put food on the table.
We must protect nutrition assistance for all who need it.

Yesterday, organizations across the country saw grant funding they use to provide housing for vulnerable communities expire.
And @HUDgov has done nothing to address it.
This is hurting my constituents, and why I'm pressing HUD to right this wrong.

Americans shouldn’t have to struggle to afford the lifesaving medication they rely on.
My INSULIN Act would cap the cost of insulin at $35, helping make this expensive medication more affordable.

Pete Hegseth is again targeting our nation's top military leaders with zero explanation.
With our nation in the midst of a war in the Middle East, Secretary Hegseth's leadership makes Americans less safe.
This is yet another example of his incompetence.

This Administration is doing nothing—zero—to help the American people.
While @POTUS drives up costs and illegally cuts funding for programs to support housing and health care, he's using your tax dollars to pay for ads and a ballroom.
I spoke on the Senate floor to call it out.
