I’m devastated by the news of a mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School this morning in Minneapolis. The start of school should be a time of excitement – not fear and violence. We can and must do more to protect our children.

Last year alone, scammers stole over $1 trillion worldwide. I’m working to combat scams, and I spoke to law enforcement, experts, and the victim of a scam about this issue in Dover. www.unionleader.com/news/politic...

11 years ago New Hampshire native James Foley was murdered by ISIS terrorists. Today we honor his memory and his legacy by continuing to advocate for the safety of journalists around the world as they work to share the truth.

It is with sadness and much love and appreciation that U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan and her siblings, Franny and Frank Wood, report the death of their mother, Peggy Wood.

Always great to check in with members of the New Hampshire VFW and touch base about their priorities. Thank you for the work you do to advocate for veterans.

Great to visit the Merrimack YMCA and hear about the important work they do to support Granite State children and families. I’m glad that the recent government funding package included measures to increase funding for critical child care programs, but there is much more to do.

I join all Americans in praying for the U.S. service members who are in harm’s way today, a day on which President Trump recklessly and unilaterally decided to enter our country into another foreign war. My full statement:

I join all Americans in praying for the U.S. service members who are in harm’s way today, a day on which President Trump recklessly and unilaterally decided to enter our country into another foreign war.

The Iranian regime is one of the world’s largest state sponsors of terrorism, and it poses a threat to its own people, the security of our country, and the security of our allies around the world. But confronting this threat, and keeping our service members safe in the process, requires the support of the American people through coordination with Congress, which has the sole power to declare war under our system of government.

Today’s strikes against Iran were launched by the President without any pretense of seeking — much less obtaining — the consent of the American people through their representatives in Congress. His failure to follow the Constitution in this regard increases uncertainty, creates disunity at home and abroad, and ultimately weakens us. Now, our country is engaged in a war of unknown length, with potentially enormous and far-reaching consequences. President Trump’s action will likely destabilize the region, may well undermine America’s security, and puts the lives of our troops at great risk.
While the situation is evolving quickly, based on the limited information that the Administration has provided, I have deep concerns about President Trump’s decision to go to war.

Our country should only go to war as a last resort, when all other options to protect our security and freedom have been exhausted. And to sustain and win a war requires an informed and unified public at home as well as strong and healthy international alliances. Rather than ensure that both of these fundamental conditions are met, President Trump has recklessly rushed to war.

My investigation into data brokers shows that data breaches have likely already cost Americans billions of dollars. As scammers get more sophisticated, it is essential that consumers can take steps to keep their information out of the wrong hands. www.wired.com/story/data-b...

Avah Fiske of Loudon has advocated for mental health awareness since her 12-year old brother Ryan died by suicide in 2020. Her advocacy has made New Hampshire a better and safer place, and is why I am honored to name her February’s Granite Stater of the Month.

Today marks 4 years since Putin’s unconscionable and brutal invasion of Ukraine, and the Ukrainian people’s fight for freedom remains as urgent as ever. The Live Free or Die State knows protecting our national security means dictators like Putin must be defeated, not appeased.

Welders do critical work, including at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard where they help maintain vessels that keep our nation safe, secure, and free. It was great to visit Great Bay Community College's new welding lab that is helping students prepare for these important jobs.
