U.S. diplomacy should never suffer so a party can score political points. Senators are here to cast votes & make policy – certain lawmakers have prevented us from doing that. I urge them to take this responsibility seriously and allow the Senate to do its job. — PolitiTweet.org

Barriers facing women in accessing school, capital, employment & more are all areas this role can address. Yet, GOP obstruction due to the nominee’s personal views that have no jurisdiction over the role stagnated U.S. action in this capacity. That’s shameful and it has to stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

This is one of the few roles in our diplomatic tool box to address gender issues, especially in precarious environments, such as supporting Afghan women risking their lives to uphold basic human rights. GOP obstruction has delayed us from using this role to support those women. — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: SFRC finally cleared Dr. Gupta’s nom for Amb. At Large for Global Women’s Issues on #IWD2023. GOP obstruction blocked her nom for *months* due to Rs’ obsession over women’s repro health – which is not under the jurisdiction of this role. Let me spell this out: — PolitiTweet.org

Prescription digital therapeutics can help treat a range of diseases, including substance use disorders, but many who need this treatment currently lack access. I’m helping to reintroduce a bipartisan, bicameral bill that would expand Medicare coverage for PDTs. — PolitiTweet.org

The #AmericanCommunitySurvey is an important program that helps determine federal spending in your area. If you are unsure if you’ve received a legitimate ACS request, check out the tips below on how to verify: https://t.co/IgJJFHc3pG — PolitiTweet.org

For over 10 years I’ve led this bipartisan resolution to send a clear message to the world that the U.S. believes the equity, equality & empowerment of women & girls must be a policy priority. Today – & every day – we must live up to that commitment. #IWD2023 https://t.co/Z6QfLxgtUO — PolitiTweet.org

From women risking their lives for their rights in Afghanistan & Iran, to Ukrainian women defending their nation & women lifting their families out of poverty in vulnerable communities – the strength, resilience & fortitude of women is on display around the world. #IWD — PolitiTweet.org

.@USAmbHungary has rightly condemned Viktor Orbán’s autocratic policies. During our meeting today, I thanked Amb. Pressman for his leadership & for reminding the Hungarian people that the U.S. always stands in support of democracy & human rights. https://t.co/8zoxhkBqqZ — PolitiTweet.org

Those recovering from anomalous health incidents (AHI) while serving our country deserve the medical care they need to get well. Full stop. I asked Dr. Lester Martínez-López & @DHADirector to commit to this & will keep pushing other admin officials to do the same. https://t.co/yHZTt3E5Uz — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

The world must not forget Afghan women as they bravely protest education bans & oppose the Taliban's erasure of their hard-won rights. I will keep raising the plight of Afghan women & work to hold the Taliban accountable for their human rights abuses. https://t.co/PgEwJEabi4 — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see more than 70 snowmobile riders come together for the 12th Annual “Pink Ride” in Hollis! Thanks to their efforts, over $8,000 was raised for Nashua’s Saint Joseph Hospital Breast Care Center and Oncology Unit. https://t.co/vDzU2kd6uJ — PolitiTweet.org

#ICYMI - I spoke w/ @WMURSteve about my near decade-long effort to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Our history wasn’t shaped only by men – it's past time that our paper currency symbolizes the contributions of women. https://t.co/pjN4D54Jg9 — PolitiTweet.org

Their heroic protest & calls for justice were a turning point in the Civil Rights Movement. We remember Rep. Lewis & those who summoned the strength & fortitude to march towards a more just and equitable society. That work goes on. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

58 years ago, John Lewis & peaceful civil rights marchers were met w/ violence & hatred on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, AL in what would be remembered as #BloodySunday. https://t.co/WtaTCicoJZ — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: Glad to join a bipartisan push to reform our tax policy w/ Taiwan, which would enhance our important economic relationship. Taiwan is our 8th largest trading partner – a formal income tax agreement will make it easier for U.S. biz – including those in NH – to do business. — PolitiTweet.org

For too many NH students, school meals are the most reliable source of nutrition they receive all day. Unfortunately, NH lags behind in school breakfast participation. The State must prioritize efforts to boost participation to help eligible students access this critical program. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

During National School Breakfast Week 🍳, I’m grateful for hunger advocates & community organizations in NH, like @EndHungerNH, who are working to strengthen enrollment in school breakfast. We must do all we can to combat food insecurity, especially amongst children. #NSBW23 — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join this bipartisan effort to provide assistance to young people who assume the role of caregiver for veterans in their lives. This is about supporting military families – we have an obligation to get this right. https://t.co/D0CK4KMaRR — PolitiTweet.org

In 1973, the 1st generation of women in the Navy began flight school. 50 years later, women aviators have flown every type of aircraft. During #WomensHistoryMonth, we pay tribute to all @USNavy women aviators who’ve taken to the skies to defend our nation, values & freedom. https://t.co/BWixEdYvUh — PolitiTweet.org

🚨Attn. Granite Staters: winter weather has brought on avalanche conditions in NH’s backcountry. Be cautious, don’t travel alone and make sure to travel with essential gear, such as a shovel, probe & transceiver. https://t.co/qryU5Oo79f — PolitiTweet.org

Today we commemorate the 54th anniversary of the Apollo 9 launch, a monumental achievement that tested all Apollo lunar hardware in preparation for the moon landing.

The U.S. stands in solidarity w/ Belarus’ pro-democracy movement. The administration should appoint a new U.S. Special Envoy to Belarus ASAP to hold Lukashenka accountable for human rights violations. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Putin’s puppet in Belarus imprisons political activists fighting for accountability in their country. Jailing Nobel Peace Prize winner Ales Bialiatski shows Lukashenka’s weakness & fear of democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

The Kremlin’s attempts to silence voices of dissent will never succeed in stopping the Russian people’s calls for freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen

Putin & his thugs will continue to feel the punitive costs from the U.S. & allies for their human rights abuses. Glad @StateDept is increasing that cost for those connected to the unjust detainment of pro-democracy activist Vladimir Kara-Murza. — PolitiTweet.org
