I’m going to the Senate floor with @ChuckGrassley to urge our colleagues to support our bipartisan bill that would help deliver rights to survivors of sexual assault in every state. Watch live here: https://t.co/NXmhms6mvk — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

This afternoon, I joined my Senate colleagues to urge passage of VAWA. I will continue to do everything in my power to have this bill be signed into law and ensure that survivors of domestic and sexual violence get the help & support they need. https://t.co/0B6Os8YDla — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Congress has a responsibility to reauthorize #VAWA – a critical program to prevent violence against women. Yet Majority Leader Mitch McConnell continues to refuse to hold a vote on this legislation that protects women and helps to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Through its war on science, the Trump administration is risking the health and well-being of Americans and their families. This is unacceptable and Congress must act to ensure the public science relied on by all Americans remains free of political interference. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Military families are the backbone of America and we can never thank them enough for all that they do. I'll continue to work across the aisle to support our service members and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

I also support the Military Widow’s Tax Elimination Act, to provide the spouses of service members who give the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty with the full benefits and financial assistance to which they’re entitled. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

I’ve introduced legislation that would cut the red tape military spouses face as they practice their licensed professions & move their businesses from state-to-state. Military spouses already face enough challenges - being able to continue their careers should not be one of them. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

On Military Family Appreciation Month and every month, we honor the sacrifices military families make each day as they support their loved ones serving at home and abroad, in defense of our nation. It's our responsibility to ensure they have the support they need and deserve. https://t.co/HPuy1G0mwb — PolitiTweet.org

This is such a tragic loss. Lt. Menard’s heroic sacrifice & commitment to duty embodies the selfless service of our firefighters & first responders. My thoughts are with his family, friends & fellow firefighters at @WorcesterFD, particularly those that were injured in this fire. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Today, I sent a letter to @SecPompeo denouncing the Trump administration's decision to cut over $32 million in funding to @UNFPA, which provides vital health care services to vulnerable women and children around the world. This action will harm, not help, those in need of care. https://t.co/pyy0Klf5jr — PolitiTweet.org

So great to see General Lori Robinson, the 1st woman to lead a U.S. Combatant Command, return home to New Hampshire and participate in the North Conway Veterans Day parade. Thank you for your remarkable record of service to our nation! https://t.co/ZAHi6C9mWl — PolitiTweet.org

#DACA is a lifeline for the more than 700,000 Dreamers who were brought to the U.S. by their parents as children. America is richer for the contributions they make each day, & for most, this is the only home they know. I stand with Dreamers and affirm that their #HomeIsHere. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

It’s inexcusable that this visit is going forward, despite the egregious behavior of President Erdogan. President Trump is once again coddling an authoritarian leader and sending a terrible message. I urge congressional leadership to seek a full accounting of discussions. — PolitiTweet.org

Clean energy sources, including solar energy, are key to achieving energy independence, reducing carbon emissions & creating jobs. Pleased to announce $1.9 million in federal funding to @UofNH and Brayton Energy to advance solar technologies & promote their use in NH communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Building on my previous legislation - the Survivors' Bill of Rights Act - this bill would help ensure survivors’ rights are consistent in all states, not just at the federal level. I’ll keep fighting to ensure sexual assault survivors’ rights are a top priority in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Ending sexual assault requires a comprehensive approach that includes robust support for survivors. That’s why I’m introducing new, bipartisan legislation to protect survivors’ rights in the criminal justice system at the state level. https://t.co/24y5FtKTzM — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Recognizing the 74 sailors, including 2 Granite Staters, who lost their lives onboard the USS Frank E. Evans 50 years ago is long overdue. That’s why I’m supporting a bill that would add the names of these brave men to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. https://t.co/0qcnDntmKP — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

At the Veterans Day Ceremony at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery, it was an honor to pay tribute to the generations of veterans that answered the call of duty to defend our nation. We cannot thank you enough and are deeply indebted to your service. https://t.co/8LtCGTLFig — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Wishing @USMC a happy birthday today! For 244 years, United States Marines have proudly answered the call of duty and bravely defended our nation in the air, on land, and at sea. Thank you to all who have served and for your service to America and its people. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The construction of a new bridge between Hinsdale & Brattleboro is key for safety & economic growth. I’m thrilled that $12 million in federal funding has been awarded to support this project & the rehabilitation of two older bridges for recreational use. https://t.co/J5bhBLzVgt — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The Berlin Wall fell 30 years ago today, marking a pivotal moment in world history & the spread of democracy. My bipartisan resolution w/@SenatorRisch honoring this date reaffirms Congress’ commitment to our democratic institutions & allies who help defend our global security. https://t.co/h4maTVLj8f — PolitiTweet.org

Relieved the @US_FDA chose to heed my call to revoke the orphan drug exclusivity for a drug used to treat opioid use disorder. Drug companies shouldn’t be able to game the system & block more affordable medication options that will help hard-hit states like NH combat this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

That’s why I am so pleased that my bipartisan bill honoring Christa’s legacy & supporting STEM education was signed into law this fall. In the Senate, I’ll continue to support efforts promoting the STEM fields to young people in NH and across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Today on #STEMDay, we recognize the importance of STEM in providing opportunity to young people, helping drive innovation & prosperity & honor trailblazers like Christa McAuliffe, a NH school teacher & astronaut who was passionate about promoting & expanding scientific knowledge. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Whenever there’s common ground to take action on climate change, we need to seize it. https://t.co/5ihLBUbhpJ — PolitiTweet.org

We have some very good news about the effort to build a new bridge between Hinsdale and Brattleboro! 👇 https://t.co/DDuPWvqcKT — PolitiTweet.org

We must do everything in our power to ensure that courageous American service members missing in action are brought back home. That’s why I’m introducing a bill with @MikeCrapo that would bolster efforts to collect the records of POWs and MIAs so that families may find closure. — PolitiTweet.org
