New Hampshire

“

[Bipartisan letter to President Trump from 14 senators, led by Jeanne Shaheen and Roger Wicker:] President Putin bears sole responsibility for launching Russia's full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Allowing him to participate in a G20 Summit in the United States raises serious concerns about legitimizing and normalizing a government that continues to attack Ukrainian civilian targets every day. … As Russia continues its war against Ukraine and refuses to agree to a just and lasting peace agreement, its government should not be afforded a business-as-usual treatment alongside other nations at G20 events. … We urge you to reverse course and rescind the invitation to President Putin.

“

The advertisement raises deep concerns about the Trump Administration's use of taxpayer dollars and its compliance with federal laws that prohibit the use of appropriated funds for the promotion of a political party or candidate. … The advertisement does not have a clear official government purpose. … This taxpayer-funded political advertisement serves as yet another troubling example of President Trump's growing list of expensive vanity projects – including the White House ballroom – that are estimated to cost over $1.8 billion.

“

[On Trump's statements about vaccine safety:] It was the wrong thing when he said it was not safe. The FDA leader must have the courage to say when the president is wrong.

“

Diplomacy with China remains vital to preventing conflict and protecting American interests, but it must ultimately produce results for hardworking Americans. President Trump's summit today with President Xi Jinping failed to deliver. … President Trump rolled out the red carpet for Xi. Rather than confronting China's unfair trade practices, technology theft, complicity in attacks against our troops or economic and military aggression against our allies, President Trump opted for pageantry over purpose. … Extending the tariff truce is a temporary band-aid on a crisis of the President's own making.

“

If we want to bring this war to an end, we need to cut off the outside support that allows Iran to keep fighting and that starts with China. … [Trump should press Xi to] stop Chinese companies from giving Iran satellite imagery and targeting support.

“

When President Trump sits across President Xi at the White House, he should use his leverage to do three things. … If we want to bring this war to an end, we need to cut off the outside support that allows Iran to keep fighting and that starts with China. … China is the number one purchaser of Russian oil and gas, so they are the top funder of the war in Ukraine, as well as being one of the top funders of the war in Iran.

“

[Hassan called Paul's account of the Democrats' position] a mischaracterization [and said senators should pursue a] good-faith bipartisan approach to obtain this information.

“

The Chinese military continues its pressure campaign against our vital democratic partner Taiwan as President Trump has retreated from longstanding security commitments. … As Americans face rising prices for gas, food, housing, and more, President Trump is rolling out the red carpet for President Xi and hosting closed-door dinners so his billionaire friends can strike deals that threaten American jobs and national security. … He must stand with Taiwan and not let China veto American support for Taiwan's defense. … We can't let President Xi leave stronger than when he arrived. That is not diplomacy, it's weakness. [Joint statement by Sens. Coons, Schumer, Murray, Reed, Shaheen, Warner, Warren and Andy Kim.]

“

After months of threatening our NATO Ally Denmark and disregarding the will of the Greenlandic people, President Trump has reached a 'deal' that essentially returns the U.S.-Greenland defense relationship to where it was before. But President Trump's threats and bullying rhetoric on this issue have come at a cost: the United States is now viewed with skepticism and increased distrust by some of our closest allies. That has damaged America's trade relationships and undermined the NATO Alliance—the bedrock of safeguarding U.S. national security interests. Diplomacy should have been the first option. I'm glad we can put this dispute behind us, but the United States now has real work to do to rebuild trust with Denmark, Greenland and our allies across Europe.

“

Any negotiated settlement must include Ukraine as the central party in decisions about its future and be backed by strong, binding U.S. and transatlantic security guarantees that deter renewed Russian aggression. [Readout of a bipartisan Senate delegation meeting with President Zelensky in New York.]

“

Even changes that may appear modest from a purely military standpoint can have outsized effects on our bilateral relationships, particularly with Baltic Allies, as Russia continues to intensify its hybrid actions along NATO’s eastern flank. … U.S. Ambassadors and Chiefs of Mission in affected countries have been excluded from consultations. … What we are requesting is not a departure from precedent — it is a return to longstanding practice. [We urge you to ensure] the Department of State is fully and meaningfully engaged from this point forward.

“

Every dollar Russia earns through illicit energy sales is another dollar Putin can use to buy drones, missiles and weapons to kill innocent Ukrainians. [This bill will] help cut off that revenue, force Putin to the negotiating table by increasing pressure on Moscow and strengthen Ukraine's hand … [Its passage is] a fitting tribute to Lindsey and his commitment to a free and secure Ukraine.

“

Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine was rooted in his fear that the Russian people would see Ukraine's progress in creating a more democratic, prosperous country and want the same for their own country. Putin has used cruel tactics on his own people: suppressing dissent through brutal violence, proliferating state-sponsored repression and undermining democracy with election interference and through disinformation campaigns. That is why I am proud to introduce this bipartisan resolution, along with Senator Wicker, to champion those who fight for democracy within Russia and hold the Russian government accountable for the crimes it has committed against its own people.

“

It is very difficult for me to understand how a president and a secretary of HHS, who said they wanted kids to get fewer jabs, are now recommending that they get more jabs.

“

I can't wait to debate Chris Pappas — anytime, any place.

“

He's not an independent voice for New Hampshire. Chris Pappas has three main qualities: ineffective, partisan, and out of touch with New Hampshire.

“

When it comes to standing up for New Hampshire, I take a backseat to no one. I'm not running for any other job. I don't want to make anyone in Washington happy. … I know that as your senator: to stand up for the people of New Hampshire every single day.

“

We will keep listening, keep working, and stay laser-focused on the economy, jobs, and making life more affordable. … We will clean up Washington and hold politicians in both parties accountable.

“

Everywhere I go, I hear the same thing: Life is too damn expensive. … Donald Trump thinks all of this is just a hoax. In fact, he says we're living in a golden age.

“

While New Hampshire families are struggling to make ends meet, John Sununu has thrown his lot in with Donald Trump.

“

It is time to turn the page in America to a better day. We've got to turn the page on Donald Trump's reckless leadership, on corruption, on the rigged economy, and on costs. … This is not the time to turn it back to a failed politician from the past. It is time to look ahead to the future, and that's what we're fighting for in this campaign.

“

I think it's important that we have some representation in DC, because right now we don't, and quite honestly, we deserve it.

“

As Russia kills civilians in Ukraine, the White House hosts Putin’s sanctioned Finance Minister on U.S. soil. The Trump Admin needs to pressure Putin and his cronies, not offer them a platform. With the House back in DC, it’s time to pass Russia sanctions.

“

We urge the Israeli government to immediately rescind these tenders, halt settlement expansion in the West Bank, and take urgent action to rein in settler violence.

“

We write to reiterate our alarm about the potential for a dangerous collapse in the West Bank now that the only two Israeli banks providing vital services have indicated difficulties with banking waivers.

“

At a time when the American people have demanded de-escalation in immigration enforcement, it is not clear why existing tools and tactics are insufficient for the agency.

“

It makes no sense to start a trade war with our closest neighbor. Canada is an important and valued trading partner for New Hampshire.

“

Trump's corruption is clear as day: He promised to deliver for Big Oil if they donated to his campaign…this in turn has caused Trump's own oil and gas stock holdings to skyrocket, all while Americans are left to shoulder the cost through high prices at the pump.

“

The placement of an active-duty Public Affairs officer in the senior leadership of an organization whose credibility depends on its independence from the military chain of command raises serious questions.

“

Of course, we want to keep gas prices low. That's why the administration has done so much to keep the markets stable, but also ensuring Iran can never get a nuclear weapon is the president's priority with respect to the ongoing conflict.
