Lawmakers want to expand housing protections for domestic violence survivors The bipartisan proposal builds on the Fair Housing for Survivors Act to ensure people who have experienced domestic violence and sexual assault cannot be denied access to housing.

Access to safe, stable housing is a critical component of healing. I'm proud to introduce legislation with bipartisan support to help survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence or sex-trafficking land on their feet and build better lives.

Judge Orders Government to Begin Refunding More Than $130 Billion in Tariffs Over 2,000 lawsuits have been filed by companies in the court seeking to recoup their money after the Supreme Court invalidated tariffs last month.

Americans have lost billions footing the bill for the Administration's illegal tariff regime.

Although the President has made clear he would rather keep this money, our courts say otherwise. He must stop stalling and refund the American people the taxes he unlawfully collected.

No one mourns the death of the Ayatollah. But the American people have unanswered questions about our objectives, what the President’s strategy is to achieve them and whether this attack was driven by America’s national security interest.

Gasoline and diesel prices spike overnight as anxious drivers fill up tanks The average price for a gallon of gasoline jumped 11 cents overnight in the U.S. And drivers in Europe waited in line to fill their tanks with fuel.

Americans want solutions on affordability.

Instead, the President is choosing to burden the American people by spiking gas prices as he recklessly plunges the U.S. into a war with no clear strategy.

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.

It's fair to say that there is real concern about who is controlling America's foreign policyβ€”is it President Trump or Prime Minister Netanyahu? The rationale from this Administration, on the timing, strategy and endgame for these attacks is not clear at all.

The President hasn't laid out a clear strategy. He's not shared that with the American people. He's not shared that with Congress.

He's decided to go to war without authorization from Congress and the threat of escalation continues.

What is the cost of this war going to be? We already know that gas prices are going to go up. The American people are already concerned about cost of living.

Secretary Hegseth was unwilling to answer when does this end. The President campaigned last year saying, 'no forever wars,' and yet there is the potential to get into another endless war in the Middle East.

iPhones. Microwaves. Cars. Solar Panels. These, and much more, all require critical minerals.

Critical minerals may seem abstract, but they power our lives in so many waysβ€”and it’s essential we have a reliable supply of these key inputs. My SECURE Minerals Act does just that.

We need to be providing more arms and weapons that the Ukrainians need. We need to amp up the pressure on the Russian economy to shut down their war machine.

We need to make it really tough for Russia so that Putin comes to the table.

Under Republican leadership, we’ve seen Medicaid slashed, premiums skyrocket and millions of Americans drop coverage as they feel the pain of higher costs.

This is unacceptable. We must work toward commonsense solutions that will improve health care access and lower costs.

New A.C.A. Plans Could Increase Family Deductibles to $31,000

Health care premiums are soaring under President Trump, and he refused to come to the table to work with us to extend critical premium tax credits to keep insurance affordable.

His "plan" instead? Deductibles over $30,000.

Families can’t afford the President's health care chaos.

Rather than offering solutions to lower costs, the President is deciding to make life harder for Americans and blocking refunds of the money he owes.

We must pass my Tariff Refund Act to end this nonsense and get hardworking Americans the money they are owed.

The Trump Administration hasn't shared what the plans are for Iran.

As communities struggle under President Trump's cuts to food assistance, they're also dealing with his tariffs at a cost of $1,600 a household.

My constituents are being squeezed on both sidesβ€”paying more after cuts to food assistance while seeing higher grocery bills.

Granite Staters are seeing housing prices at an all time high, grocery prices going up and their health insurance costs rising.

People are struggling to make ends meet, and President Trump isn't doing enough to address these concerns.

Affordable, high-quality child care is an essential service that has become far too expensive for families.

This year, I’ll continue working toward bipartisan solutions that will expand child care options for communities in every corner of the Granite State.

I was just in Munich for the Munich Security Conference. Every leader I talked to said they don’t believe Putin is serious about negotiating.

And he’s not going to be serious until the President puts pressure on him.

President Trump promised the American people that he would bring down the cost of living and bring order to an unsettled world. More than a year into office, it is abundantly clear that he has failed to deliver on both counts.

New Hampshire's only food bank distributed 20 million pounds of food last year - the most in its history.

My constituents are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of groceries, and the President's tariffs and cuts to federal food assistance are making this crisis worse.

President Trump promised to lower prices. Instead, we’ve seen housing prices soar, rising health care costs and increased prices due to tariffsβ€”squeezing families when they can least afford it.

As we prepare for tonight’s State of the Union, remember: Actions speak louder than words.

Great news: DHS is cancelling plans for their facility in Merrimack. I commend all Granite Staters for making your voices heard.

This is exactly why I introduced legislation yesterday to ensure that DHS can't open new facilities without local consent and transparency.

Democrats seek to force refunds after Supreme Court blocks Trump tariffs A majority of President Donald Trump's tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court on Friday, leading him to seek other legal mechanisms for the duties.

The American people have foot the bill for President Trump’s trade warβ€”and, while Secretary Bessent might not think so, they deserve a refund.

I joined my colleagues in introducing a new bill to do just that. The President shouldn't stand in the way of refunds for everyday Americans.
