ICYMI: I pressed the Trump Administration last week on why it halted plans to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Instead of honoring her legacy, this Administration is wasting its time on the President’s ego projects like putting his face on a $250 bill. spectrumlocalnews.com/ga/georgia/p...

Senators press Treasury for answers on plans for Harriet Tubman $20 bill

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed earlier this month the department had abandoned plans to put Harriet Tubman’s image on the new $20 bill

The war in Ukraine is Russia against the West, and the West needs to be victorious. But we won't be if we keep letting Putin get away with what he's doing.

236 years ago today, the United States Coast Guard was established. For over two centuries, the men and women of our Coast Guard have served bravely to defend and protect our nation’s shores. Happy 236th Birthday to our Coast Guard!

The momentum is in Ukraine's favor right now, with long gas lines in Russia, dissatisfaction from his oligarch friends and Ukraine gaining on the battlefield. We need to put more pressure on Putin through this sanctions bill to get him to the table.

Insulin is life or death, and capping insulin costs at $35 a month would help millions of American families. I have bipartisan legislation to do just that, and we need to get it done.

Following record turnout at the 2026 Farnborough Air Show, it was great to convene NH aerospace leaders last Friday for an insightful conversation about the air show and the bright future ahead for one of our state's most valuable sectors. Thank you to all who attended!

Our Korean War veterans must never be forgotten. Their service helped preserve freedom for millions. Following National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, I was honored to join the Korean American Society of NH today to remember the sacrifice and valor of these brave veterans.

Today I visited the site of the Derry – Londonderry I-93 Exit 4A project, where I was briefed on the project's progress. The construction of Exit 4A has been a long-time priority for our state, and I was proud to help secure federal funding to support this key project.

It's outrageous that this Administration is on the side of the rioters of January 6th, all while the President uses his power to shield himself and his family from being prosecuted for any future misconduct in front of the IRS. The President is trying to put himself above the law.

We have a Secretary of Defense suggesting testosterone testing for every member of our military. I think there is enough money to compensate victims of sexual assault.

Republicans tout their “Big Beautiful Bill” as a great achievement, yet in New Hampshire we’re seeing its true impact: families kicked off SNAP and strained food banks. All to fund tax breaks for billionaires. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2026...

SNAP enrollment drops in NH, nationwide following program cuts

The July 2025 federal reconciliation bill slashed the program, even as hunger remains high.

China is supporting Iran and supporting Russia in their war against Ukraine. China is the biggest user of Russian oil and natural gas. If we sanction them, it has a real impact both on their economy and what is happening in the Middle East.

If we can shut down the funding that Russia is getting, then we can put pressure on Vladimir Putin to come to the table. As President Zelenskyy said in Washington: "Ukraine needs this bill."

Today marks the 61st anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, landmark programs that expanded health care access to millions. Unfortunately, Republicans are intent on reversing this progress—slashing health care funding to ensure less, not more, can access the care they need.

There is no strategy to end the war in Iran. We are now in a stalemate that is endangering our service members and forcing the American taxpayer to pay the price.

Our Russia and Iran sanctions legislation is narrowly crafted to address the top five users of Russian oil and gas and to protect our allies who are making important efforts to get off Russian gas. We must cut off the revenues that are funding Russia's war machine.

As health care prices soar, too many Americans cannot afford the medicine they need to live. To protect the over 8 million Americans who depend on insulin to survive, we must pass my INSULIN Act and cap this life-saving medicine at $35 per month.

The DoD's lack of transparency on the war in Iran is a disservice to the American people and most importantly to the families of our service members. The Pentagon must immediately provide a complete accounting of those who have been killed, injured or wounded in this operation.

As energy prices soar due to the war in Iran, we should do all we can to insulate the American people from these costs. Yet the Administration is doing just the opposite—rolling back energy-efficiency and exposing Americans to even higher energy bills. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/21/c...

The U.S. Is Pulling Back on Energy Efficiency Just as Prices Are Rising

The Trump administration is undoing fuel-saving efforts even as war in Iran, data centers and heat waves are pushing up gasoline and electricity costs.

With too many feeling squeezed by rising health care prices, capping insulin prices at $35 a month is a step we can take right now to deliver real financial relief. My INSULIN act would do just that. I was proud to see it advance out of the HELP Committee last week. Now let’s make it law!

Before the President's war in Iran, Americans were already struggling to afford everyday essentials like groceries. It’s only gotten worse since. The President said he was going to lower costs. Instead, he’s making life harder for American families at every turn.

Two-thirds of Americans find groceries unaffordable, Post-Ipsos poll finds

A new Washington Post poll found that more Americans are feeling worse about the price of groceries than they were before the war with Iran began.

I was proud to help represent New Hampshire's aerospace sector on the global stage at the Farnborough Air Show last weekend. As our top export sector, it was great to connect Granite State businesses with industry leaders to fuel innovation and economic growth in our state!

As health care prices soar, millions of Americans are forced to choose between affording life-saving insulin or paying for rent or groceries. No one should have to make that choice. By capping insulin at $35 per month, my INSULIN Act ensures that’s the case.

The Iran War never should have started, and the President hasn't achieved any of the goals he set out. We have a more hardline regime, we haven't dealt with their nuclear program and now the Strait is a pawn in this war—raising costs on American families. This war needs to end.

I thank Senators Collins, Warnock and Kennedy for their leadership on our INSULIN Act to cap insulin at $35 a month for Americans across the country. We are proud that critical legislation advanced out of the Senate HELP Committee today. Our full statement:

Doug Mastriano has stated that the European Union is a "rising rival" to the U.S. comparable to China. He's now being nominated as ambassador to Slovakia—an EU nation.

I asked Secretary Hegseth: “At what point do you stop asking the American people to foot the bill for a war they don’t support?” He had no response.

Nearly half of those managing diabetes are forced to shell out thousands a year to afford the insulin they need to live. This cannot stand. We must cap insulin at $35 a month to ensure everyone can afford the life-saving medication they need.

In just the past few weeks we’ve seen two deadly shootings involving ICE, continuing a disturbing, dangerous trend of recklessness by the agency. In response, I joined my Senate colleagues in calling on DHS to implement measures to help prevent future deadly encounters.

Over 10 years ago, I worked to open the first and only VA facility in the Monadnock region. And after a years-long effort, I'm proud to announce the VA finalized a lease for a new Community Based Outpatient Clinic that will improve access to care for our state’s veterans.
