Congress must step up and support CAPs, including by supporting passage of my legislation that removes the limit on the amount of relief funds that can be awarded to states like New Hampshire and are used by these organizations to continue their vital work. — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I met with leadership from NH’s five Community Action Partnership agencies, who play a crucial role in the response to COVID-19 and provide access to nutrition, housing, health care and so much more to vulnerable Granite Staters. https://t.co/inp0b2nrD2 — PolitiTweet.org

Granite Staters & small businesses are hurting yet Mitch McConnell refuses to stay in session to pass a relief bill. It’s just unacceptable! Let’s get around a table & hammer out a deal just like we did w/ CARES Act. The foot dragging has got to stop! https://t.co/HaVvnqxQtm — PolitiTweet.org

Working families rely on Head Start for child care & education. But as staff made clear during my visit to the Littleton Head Start today, many child care providers are at risk of closing unless they get help. Funding to support providers MUST be a priority in relief legislation. https://t.co/Y2uxAgqijb — PolitiTweet.org

Since day 1, the admin has repealed laws and regulations that were put in place to keep our air, land & water safe for all Americans and to fight climate change. Rescinding this rule AGAIN puts politics over the health of Americans & sustainability of our planet. It has to stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Stopped by The Little Grille in Littleton for lunch today & met w/owner Scott, who has been able to keep staff thanks to funds from the Paycheck Protection Program. PPP has been critical for small biz owners like Scott, but Congress must do more to help them weather this crisis. https://t.co/FCyKmqZD4h — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Our effort to secure TRICARE coverage for eating disorder treatments is a bipartisan, bicameral priority for a reason: service members deserve access to the care they need, full stop. Mental illness must be treated w/the same urgency as physical illness. https://t.co/pa8brqTNb9 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

.@SquamLakeCenter has educated visitors on NH’s beautiful spaces & native wildlife for generations. Thanks to the Paycheck Protection Program, the center has stayed open amid COVID-19. Congress must secure additional relief to small biz & nonprofits in any future relief package. https://t.co/OqZHvzpLqf — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump is trying to hamstring the Postal Service ahead of the election. This is appalling and deeply cynical. Granite Staters are demanding timely mail delivery! — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Granite Staters rely on @USPS for medication, voting and other essential needs, but are experiencing serious delays with mail delivery due to the Postmaster General’s harmful policy changes that put politics over the USPS' survival. The NH delegation is demanding answers. https://t.co/IvRgZ2o6Y9 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The census is one of the most consequential actions our nation takes to ensure Americans get the representation & resources they deserve. @CommerceOIG must investigate political pressure to rush the census, which risks jeopardizing the accuracy of results. https://t.co/moSLpndfUO — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

This week is #NationalHealthCenterWeek! Health centers are on the frontlines of COVID-19 & play a key role in delivering quality care in NH, especially in rural communities. Grateful for all these facilities & their health care professionals do each day to keep us healthy & safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Students, graduates & families need relief now to survive this crisis. Young Americans were hit by the Great Recession and now this -- future COVID-19 response legislation must include help for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

NH’s independent entertainment venues are some of the hardest-hit biz during the COVID-19 crisis. To help this industry survive, Congress must act. I’m joining @SenatorTester & @SenatorCarper on legislation to provide the help these biz desperately need. https://t.co/T7DWKhHTnA — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Glad to announce with the NH delegation over $1.3 million in federal funding to bolster TRIO student support services at @UofNH, @KeeneState_ and @PlymouthState, which will help hundreds of Granite State students succeed in college. https://t.co/dyTsDSOQox — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

.@NHNationalGuard members are on COVID-19's frontlines, helping to ramp up COVID testing, assist food banks & much more. Now, they're working to ensure Granite Staters can safely exercise their civic duty. We cannot thank them enough for their service during this difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The admin’s incessant efforts to rollback LGBTQ rights are appalling. The @StateDept needs to reverse new barriers to citizenship for children born abroad to same-sex American couples. This cruel discrimination must stop NOW. My letter w/@timkaine & colleagues: https://t.co/oTqrDv7ZbX — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Organizations like the Triangle Club in Dover are working tirelessly to help those w/substance use disorder. COVID has worsened the SUD crisis that impacts so many in NH. Future relief legislation must include help for recovery organizations to meet the needs of Granite Staters. https://t.co/UsfmqiMTUC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

On my call w/ NH rural town managers today, they highlighted numerous challenges, short & long term, in their struggle to stay afloat amid COVID-19. This is urgent: Congress must include financial relief for NH communities to help them survive this crisis. https://t.co/SfAHyXdJyy — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

That’s why I'm pushing for the inclusion of a universal charitable deduction and direct aid in future relief bills. We need to ensure these organizations can continue to perform their vital work on the frontlines of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Had a call w/NH nonprofits, which are working tirelessly to shield those vulnerable from the impacts of COVID-19. However, many are struggling to survive as this crisis has lowered the number of donations they’re receiving & increased demand for services. https://t.co/jwwvwDNFMt — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The admin is reimbursing some states’ National Guard activation at 100%, while others like NH, are only reimbursed at 75%. Unacceptable. NH can’t afford added costs during this crisis. The admin needs to stop playing politics & fully federally fund ALL Guard units. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

I’m calling on the @CommerceOIG to investigate political pressure to rush the census. The American people deserve answers. A hurried process risks a severe undercount. My letter: https://t.co/KcGYC5VDnq — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The unlawful arrest & detention of U.S. citizen Vitaly Shklyarov is indicative of the chaos & illegality surrounding the election in Belarus. Vitaly must be released & more information is needed to understand the administration’s plans to send an Ambassador to Minsk at this time — PolitiTweet.org

At @NSKorg today, I heard more from advocates on the looming eviction crisis vulnerable NH families are facing. Families need help now. The fed gov has a responsibility to help ensure those most at risk don't lose their homes & our homeless shelters have the support they need. https://t.co/liOOuMcz3p — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Enhanced unemployment benefits have been a lifeline for NH families allowing them to stay financially afloat. As my conversation today with impacted Granite Staters made clear, there must be a bipartisan agreement to continue providing this assistance. https://t.co/CKIgzY5Qof — PolitiTweet.org
