It was overdue for the President to release security funding for Ukraine, which was provided by Congress on a bipartisan basis. This funding never should have been stalled as it plays a critical role in mitigating Russian aggression against Ukraine which remains an urgent threat. — PolitiTweet.org

Captain Lehto was a hero and he will always be remembered by the many Granite Staters he impacted during his 20 years of service, the brave men and women he served beside, and his loving family. I join our New Hampshire community in mourning the loss of one of Nashua's finest. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

We need to do all we can to raise awareness, eliminate the stigma about discussing mental health, and deliver help to officers. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Law enforcement officers experience enormous stress and are exposed to tremendous trauma while protecting the public and it’s vital that we find ways to support our officers on and off the job. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

I also want to recognize the courage of Captain Lehto’s family and the Nashua PD for sharing a powerful message on suicide prevention and reminding the public that this is an extremely serious and growing threat to the law enforcement community. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

My thoughts are with the family, friends, Nashua Police Department & all those impacted by the tragic death of Captain Lehto. Captain Lehto served our community for two decades and we are forever grateful for his service. — PolitiTweet.org

Vaping is linked to over 450 cases of serious respiratory illness in the U.S. & 6 deaths. Wishing those impacted a speedy recovery & appreciate their efforts to spread awareness on the dangers associated with e-cigarette use. Congress can & must act on this public health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

I testified before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee today in support of my bipartisan energy efficiency legislation with @senrobportman which would lower energy costs, reduce emissions and create jobs. https://t.co/HzLOGReoQS — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Earlier, I sent a letter w/ @SenJeffMerkley, @SenBlumenthal & @SenatorHassan demanding health agency leaders provide answers on what they’re doing to address the health impacts of e-cigarette use. I'll continue to make fighting this health emergency a top priority in the Senate. https://t.co/epIFD1Edks — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Youth vaping is a serious public health crisis that has been linked to more than 450 cases of severe illness, including what is now 6 deaths. I'm glad to see the Trump administration finally heed calls from health experts and Congress to ban flavored e-cigarettes. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

That’s why I’m leading a bipartisan resolution w/@SenatorTomUdall & @SenatorCollins to defend the Constitution & stop the President from taking this funding–which was appropriated by Congress & signed into law to support our national security priorities– to build his border wall. https://t.co/SvrSno7muj — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Congress must protect funding that’s been set aside for our troops, their families, military bases and efforts to counter our adversaries. These are not slush funds. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

That's why I’m calling on the FDA to act so that there are more affordable medication options for people struggling with substance use disorder. https://t.co/kTjwZEK97X — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Blockbuster drugs used to treat opioid use disorder shouldn't be entitled to market exclusivity benefits intended for rare disease drugs. @US_FDA shouldn't let drug companies abuse the system, especially with states like NH at the forefront of the opioid crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

The senseless terror attacks on September 11, 2001 shook our nation to its core and took the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent men, women and children, including 10 Granite Staters. My statement on the 18th anniversary of the September 11th attacks: https://t.co/mZ0Tx9O2J2 — PolitiTweet.org

Today on World Suicide Prevention Day, we recommit to raising awareness, ending the stigma around mental health and working to listen and support those who need help. No one should ever have to suffer in silence. #WSPD — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Instead of continuing to attack millions of Americans' access to health care, the President and Republican leaders should work with Democrats to expand coverage and lower health care costs for all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

This is the first time since the ACA went into effect that the uninsured rate went up & shows the devastating implications of the Trump administration’s sabotage efforts. https://t.co/NFgc3IuY9O — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

According to a @uscensusbureau report, the uninsured rate in the U.S. increased from 7.9% to 8.5% in 2018, leaving 27.5 million Americans without health insurance. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The tragedy of the USS Frank E. Evans took the lives of 74 sailors, including 2 from NH. Today, I sent a bipartisan letter w/ @SenKevinCramer to SASC & HASC leaders urging them to prioritize a bill honoring the "Lost 74" by adding their names to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. https://t.co/uhTzlXFlZ3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The @NOAA IG needs to investigate statements reprimanding weather experts for contradicting President Trump’s unsubstantiated claims on Hurricane Dorian’s projection. The public must have confidence that weather forecasts are based on scientific, not political, models. My letter: https://t.co/riGGhxhTBo — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Nationally, there have now been more than 400 cases of severe illness potentially tied to vaping use, including 5 deaths. While I'm encouraged by the FDA's warning, it's clear that Congress must act to hold these companies accountable for their actions. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Youth vaping has been fueled by aggressive and sophisticated marketing by e-cigarette manufacturers like JUUL, which has now been found by the @US_FDA to have illegally sold its products as safe alternatives to regular tobacco cigarettes, including to young people. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The Trump administration should be doing everything in its power to help those at their most vulnerable seek safe refuge. The Bahamian people are facing tremendous hardships and need compassion and assistance. https://t.co/Jd213y8b5c — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Attempts to validate the President by falsifying emergency information to the American public during a serious weather event puts the safety of American citizens at risk. The American people deserve answers from @SecretaryRoss and the Trump administration immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

If true, this is very disturbing. Threatening the careers of those who disagree with the President isn’t just a gross abuse of power, it’s a dangerous act of political interference that puts partisanship over scientific evidence and undermines serious public safety information. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

I'll continue to fight against this reckless and irresponsible Title X gag rule and do everything in my power to protect the constitutional right of women to access reproductive health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The family planning clinics targeted by this rule offer critical health care services, including lifesaving cancer screenings, STD tests and physical exams. For those who rely on these services, the domestic gag rule can lead to a harmful lapse in care. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The Trump administration’s dangerous and senseless Title X gag rule is impacting the ability of thousands of Granite Staters, particularly low income women, to access the reproductive health care they need. https://t.co/7I1LpV2x9e — PolitiTweet.org
