I’m disappointed that there was no mention in today’s announcement about the EU aspirations of countries in the Western Balkans. Albania & North Macedonia are ready for accession talks – this region must not be overlooked in this historic moment to grow the European community. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The Commission’s decision not to advance Georgia’s membership application at this time reflects the need for its gov't to make progress in advancing democratic reforms. The Georgian people want & deserve a future in the EU – I support their aspirations and stand ready to help. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

This is huge news. Ukraine & Moldova have shown remarkable resolve despite challenges & aggression from Russia – they deserve a future with the EU. I’ll continue to support their agendas to advance democratic reforms on their path to greater Euro-Atlantic integration. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Sky-rocketing prescription costs are one of the top concerns I hear from Granite Staters. My bipartisan bill w/ @SenBillCassidy to help families by bringing more generic drugs to the market is now closer to becoming law. More here: https://t.co/9mBtdtpk4g — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The FY23 NDAA package is an important opportunity to bolster support for Ukraine & regional allies against Putin’s aggression. I helped secure: ✅ $800M in military assistance & support for Ukraine’s sovereignty ✅ Support for the Black Sea region & Baltic States’ security — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I asked Dr. Geeta Rao Gupta, nominee to be Ambassador-At-Large for Global Women’s Issues, about the challenges we face in promoting women’s empowerment around the world. She is eminently qualified, & I look forward to seeing her confirmed for this critical role. https://t.co/wmckaRzoKl — PolitiTweet.org

Supply chain issues continue to exacerbate inflation & hinder our recovery from the pandemic. This bipartisan bill which I supported – now law – is a critical step to ease bottlenecks & help small businesses & families stay afloat. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

I'll continue working to maintain this bipartisan momentum to protect our families & ensure our water supplies are free from contamination. https://t.co/wr1g7EkWrC — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Too many NH families have faced toxic PFAS exposure – that's why I prioritized this issue in the SASC-approved NDAA by: • Securing $20M for the PFAS health study I established • Banning PFAS-laden gear for DOD firefighters • Strengthening testing disclosure requirements — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

This Executive Order from @POTUS sends a powerful message of support to LGBTQ+ kids & communities across the country. It’s time for the Senate to follow suit and pass the Equality Act to protect LGBTQ+ people from discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

And that’s just a snapshot of the priorities I helped secure for NH. I appreciate the bipartisan commitment to pass this important defense package & look forward to a full vote on the Senate floor. More details here: https://t.co/UvyktNt3Kw — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

• 4.6% pay raise for service members • $30M for Anomalous Health Incidents-related care and investigation • $800M military assistance for Ukraine • Support for the Baltic States & Black Sea region’s security amid Putin’s war — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

NEW: @SASCDems just approved the FY23 NDAA. Here’s what I fought to include 🧵: • $503M for the Multi-Mission Dry Dock project at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard • $20M to continue the PFAS health study I established • $ for NH’s submarine & night vision industrial bases — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

From fighting on the frontlines to administering humanitarian aid – Ukrainian women are putting their lives on the line to defend their freedom. This powerful read gets to the heart of why I’m leading a resolution in the Senate recognizing their heroism. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Veterans face enough challenges in the line of duty – they shouldn’t have to fight for the care they need to heal & recover when they come home. Proud to support this historic, bipartisan effort & I urge the House to swiftly finalize so we can deliver this bill to @POTUS ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of State Rep. Mary Griffin, who served Windham with distinction for 25 years. I appreciated our decades of work together and was always glad to join her community TV show. She was a bedrock of the community, and she will be dearly missed. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

As Ukraine holds the line against Russia’s unprovoked invasion, the U.S. remains committed to supporting our partners. Putin’s war is not just against Ukraine – it is against democracy around the world, which is why the U.S. & global community will continue to stand by Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Accessibility to safe abortions is under attack by extreme partisan Republicans, which is why this expansion of care is very welcomed news. Glad to see steps being taken to expand telehealth abortion services for Granite Staters. https://t.co/PRZAxHsMez — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The U.S. stands with Alexey Navalny & all those in Russia fighting Putin’s tyrannical rule. Putin’s abuse of Navalny & unjust detainment and inhumane treatment of political prisoners must end. The global community is watching & will keep pressing for their release. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Vaccines save lives & are the most effective way to end the pandemic. I’m encouraged the FDA voted to expand the emergency use authorization of the COVID vaccine for kids ages 6 to 17, increasing the pool of those vaccinated against this deadly virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

This year alone, there have been at least 27 shootings in K-12 schools - 27. This doesn’t happen in any of our near-peer nations. Congress has a responsibility to #ProtectOurKids from gun violence. We have a framework to pass commonsense gun safety legislation, let's do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

NATO expansion to Finland & Sweden makes clear to Putin that the global community will not allow him veto power over NATO membership. To reaffirm U.S. bipartisan support for their accession, our bipartisan delegation will visit Finland & Sweden ahead of the upcoming NATO summit. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

And that’s only the beginning – this is $1B of $10B in record-level funding that I worked to include in the bipartisan infrastructure law. More: https://t.co/CGJ35SETWB — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

When I was writing the water provisions in the bipartisan infrastructure bill, I envisioned moments like this: tangible results that will make a real difference in our communities. Thrilled to share $1B is available for NH & states to apply for $$ to address PFAS contamination. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

As COVID cases rise, the impact of the prolonged pandemic on NH’s public health services without additional relief available is clear. We can’t afford to be caught flatfooted w/another surge. Rs must end their obstruction to additional COVID aid now. https://t.co/85ZTBKLXL7 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

10 years ago, the DACA program launched, changing the lives of hundreds of thousands who were brought to the US as kids, providing them protection to remain in the only place many have ever called home. Proud to stand with Dreamers & I’ll keep fighting for a path to citizenship. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Better understanding health effects is precisely why I fought for PFAS funding in the infrastructure law & why I’ll work to extend authorization of the health study I established & improve PFAS cleanups as the Armed Services Committee gets to work on the annual NDAA this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

These new health advisories are an early step in a critical process to develop national drinking water standards for several types of PFAS. Understanding the full scope of the health effects from exposure is critical to keeping people safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Reservists & Guard members deserve the same burial rights in state veterans cemeteries as active component service members. For too long that wasn’t the case. Now that my bill is law, our nation has finally been able to right that wrong. https://t.co/qADankvH61 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Great to see A/S Donfried visiting Azerbaijan, Georgia & Armenia to recognize the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations w/ the U.S. Her visit is a powerful message of U.S. support for these nations & commitment to peace and democracy in the region. — PolitiTweet.org
