U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen

The public clearly opposes this war because it is driving up costs at the gas pump, the grocery store, and in housing and energy prices. That has real ramifications. People are unhappy because they thought this president was running to address affordability.

The House and Senate have both advanced resolutions to stop President Trump's disastrous war in Iran.   It's time the President listen to Congress and the American people and end this war.

Diabetes is the most expensive chronic condition to manage, and too many are struggling to afford the insulin they need. We must act now to cap insulin at just $35 a month to ease this burden for millions of families. My INSULIN Act would do just that.

There is still no endgame for the war in Iran and American people are paying the price—at the grocery store and at the gas pump. Yet, President Trump doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the affordability concerns of the American people.

When working across the aisle becomes a problem, there is no way to move an agenda forward for the country.

Gerrymandering is a problem. It allows our representatives to ignore the other side. It fosters polarization, not compromise that delivers for Americans.

The war in Ukraine has real implications for U.S. national security. If Russia wins that war, Vladimir Putin will feel he has the green light to attack a NATO Ally, and President Xi will feel emboldened to move on Taiwan.

Putin and Xi and other dictators are playing Donald Trump. They understand that if they flatter him, if they make him think he's important, that they're going to be able to get something from him.

More Republicans are speaking out against the President's war. They're hearing from their constituents about a war that hasn't accomplished any of the goals that President Trump set out and is driving up costs at the gas pump and grocery store.

With prices up across the board due to the President's war in Iran, my INSULIN Act would provide real relief to families struggling with the increased health care costs they've seen since the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits.

No one should have to choose between the cost of lifesaving insulin and putting food on the table. We need to provide some help amid soaring health care costs, and by capping monthly insulin costs at $35, my INSULIN Act would do just that.

As is clear from the President's summit in China, this is an Administration in search of a coherent foreign policy. And because of that, the American people are paying the price at the gas pump and the grocery store.

As we've seen high energy prices exacerbated by the President's war in Iran, I asked Secretary Wright why he's proposing to eliminate funding for successful energy efficiency programs that are saving my constituents hundreds on their energy bills.

As housing costs rise, we must take steps now to ensure future generations have safe, affordable places to live. I was proud to secure three provisions in landmark legislation that passed the Senate to support affordable housing in communities across New Hampshire.

40 million Americans have diabetes, and we must do more to ensure that everyone can afford the lifesaving medication they need. By capping monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35, my bipartisan INSULIN Act would do just that.

Health care prices are rising across the board. Yesterday, I spoke with Elise, a Granite State student with Type 1 diabetes about my INSULIN Act and what it would mean to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs to $35 a month.

The American people know the cost that they're paying for the Iran War. The question is, are they better off now than they were at the start of the war? And the answer is no—we're not better off.

Diabetes often is the most expensive chronic condition—I’m hoping to change that. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would cap monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35, ensuring families across the country can afford the lifesaving medication they need.

We've heard so many mixed messages from this White House on the war. President Trump should stop negotiating with his own Administration and start negotiating with Iran.

Health care affordability is a top concern of my constituents and this President has done nothing to address it. My bipartisan INSULIN Act does by capping out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 a month for millions of families.

When Congress doesn't work together, we can't get things done. Solving the challenges that are facing this country requires bipartisan action.

Capping insulin costs at $35 has broad, nationwide bipartisan support, and my INSULIN Act would do just that. With cosponsors from 11 states and counting, I'm committed to getting this passed. Let's keep building momentum and pass this bill.

Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling is just the latest attack in a broad Republican assault on our voting rights—in New Hampshire and across the country.

Education Secretary McMahon claimed TRIO and GEAR UP, which open the door for thousands to attend college, is too costly. But somehow, cutting taxes for our nation’s wealthiest and exploding our national debt by over 4 trillion isn’t. It’s clear where this Administration's priorities lie.

Small businesses across my state can't afford the Trump Administration's unlawful tariffs. I've introduced a bill to refund these tariff taxes immediately.

Republicans know their policy positions are unpopular, so they're making it harder for Granite Staters to vote.

The Administration needs to stop insulting Canada. It doesn't help our New Hampshire economy and only pushes Canadian businesses further toward China.

According to Howard Lutnick, the economic strategy of Canada, one of our greatest allies, “sucks.” These childish insults do nothing except hurt small businesses in New Hampshire—many of whom rely on Canadian exports and tourism.

Secretary Wright is right about one thing: The President’s war in Iran is driving up your energy costs.

No one should be paying hundreds of dollars for their life-saving insulin. My bipartisan INSULIN Act will ensure this is the case—capping insulin costs at just $35 per month to deliver real financial relief to those living with diabetes.

The most corrupting influence in our politics is money.

When we don't talk to each other, Congress doesn't work.

We know that education is fundamental to prosperity and economic growth—and that starts with affordable child care. That’s why I’ve spent my career fighting for investments in child care and early education, including expanding public kindergarten as Governor of New Hampshire.

The war in Iran has cost billions of dollars of taxpayer money. President Trump campaigned on lowering costs, yet we've seen a total abdication of that commitment to the American people.

Iran still has 50% of their missile capacity. They still have enriched uranium. And they still control the Strait of Hormuz. The President had no credible strategy going into this war, and it's clear he still doesn't have one to accomplish the goals he set out.

Affordable housing has become out of reach for far too many Granite Staters. That’s why I was proud to help pass the bipartisan ROAD to Housing bill in the Senate, which will deliver real results by lowering costs across our state. Watch more ⬇️

China is our biggest competitor, both economically and militarily. Countries in the Indo-Pacific are stepping up and working with us to counter the threat from China.

The only people who benefit from the President's comments about withdrawing from NATO are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.

I led a bipartisan CODEL to Taiwan to make one message very clear: There is strong bipartisan support for the U.S.-Taiwan partnership, which is essential both for the American economy and our national security.

Republicans in Congress and the Trump Administration are ripping away access to reproductive care from veterans who dedicated their lives to serving our nation.

The Trump Administration’s move to restrict abortion access for our veterans endangers the health and wellbeing of those who gave everything to defend our country. Our veterans deserve better than the carelessness of this Administration.

In the greatest country on Earth, those with Type 1 diabetes shouldn’t have to go bankrupt to afford the insulin medication they need. Today, I introduced bipartisan legislation to change that.

With historically high prices, affordable housing is out of reach for far too many Granite Staters. Earlier this week, I spoke with my constituent, Kerry, to hear her story and the difficulties she faced when searching for a new, affordable home in our state. Watch below ⬇️

Instead of debating how to help people address the rising cost of living or how to make their lives more affordable, we are debating how to make it harder for them to vote. That makes no sense.

When it comes to Cuba, my constituents aren't asking for an incursion into yet another country. What I hear them saying is that they are worried about the high price of gas, of groceries, of housing and of child care. They want action to lower costs. Not another forever war.

A home changes what people believe is possible. I know just how critical affordable housing is to the health of our New Hampshire communities.

It is a travesty that we have a President who doesn't care about the cost of a war in Iran but is not willing to help people keep their health insurance.

The President has offered no transparency for what's happening in Iran. As I said yesterday on @cnn.com, this Administration must hold public briefings so the American people can understand why they are being asked to bear the cost of this war.

Russia is doing all it can to undermine the United States, but Donald Trump and his Administration are doing nothing to put pressure on Vladimir Putin. This is a travesty.

People want answers. We must see a thorough and independent investigation into the strike on an Iranian girls' school.

We know weapons from the Indo-Pacific have been moved to the Middle East and that China is part of an Axis with Iran. China is our biggest competitor and threat. When we take actions like in Iran that give China an opening, it is to the detriment of the U.S.

Senator Shaheen: "We are spending billions of dollars with the build up in the Middle East." "The Administration has said we can't afford to help people with keeping their health insurance because that's too expensive, but it's not too expensive to go to war."

The founding fathers set up the Congress as the body that should determine whether to declare war or not because they didn't want the leader of this country to turn into a despot or an autocrat who was going to make decisions without the will of the people.
