Granite Staters are energized by the campaign @chrispappasnh.bsky.social is running! It was great to join him in Manchester today to meet with volunteers and hear about the work they’re doing on the ground. I’m proud to be in Chris’ corner.

It feels very good to be back in the Granite State. Thanks to @stefanyshaheen.com for showing me a few great spots in downtown Manchester this morning — and a big thanks to everyone who came up to say hello, as well!
When my kids grow up and look back at the 2020s, I want them to see that I worked hard to make their world better.
The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down.
They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump.
Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

When Linus asked me how he could make the world a better place, it made me think: What could the world look like if more adults asked that question every day?
I worked with leaders on both sides of the river as Secretary of Transportation to help get funding for the Brent Spence Bridge Project across the finish line.
For about 20 years, people only talked about making something happen - now, we actually are.
I'd love to see you in Rochester at our rally in support of Rep. Chris Pappas, Stefany Shaheen, and Cinde Warmington. Together, we can elect strong leaders and build a better future for New Hampshire. I hope you'll join us!

Persuasion isn't about saying "I told you so" - it's about bringing people together to make things better.
U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this.
Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.
We have to prepare for the day when Donald Trump will permanently leave the White House. And, even more importantly, the day after that.
It matters to have leaders who care about the right things - as I was reminded during my last flight out of Pittsburgh International Airport. Here's why.
Let's ban gerrymandering.
JD Vance has asked for another chance. We literally can't afford it.
In person, we're usually different - and better - than we are online.
We don’t have to put up with this. Not these policies or these politicians or even this system of politics. It's time for us to chase out corruption and build a politics that actually responds to the people.
Join me in San Antonio to rally in support of Johny Garcia and Katy Padilla Stout’s campaigns for Congress. RSVP today!

If I said we have a broken political system, it'd be the least memorable thing I said all day. We all know it. We all say it. The question is: Why do we act like it isn't? It can't go on like this.
Thank you to everyone who showed up to support Cait Conley last night in Tarrytown — the energy was tremendous.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Not every “Secretary Pete” is the same.
After nearly two years of economic failure and broken promises, JD Vance’s midterm pitch these closing weeks is “give us another chance.”
The American people cannot afford another round of this - and the good news is we don’t have to.
How can they justify leaving right now?
Diesel costs just hit an all-time high. Our nation is at war. The bond market is quivering. The urgency of AI regulation has come to a critical moment.
Congress should be working overtime. Instead Speaker Johnson sent them home.
Thank you to the nearly a thousand New Mexicans who showed up yesterday in Las Cruces! Electing independent-minded, honest, courageous, compassionate leaders like Gabe Vasquez and Deb Haaland is a big part of how we will make our politics - and our country - better for the future.
While too many in Congress are absorbed in partisan combat, Gabe Vasquez has stayed focused on solving problems and helping his constituents. Time and again, he has set politics aside to deliver for New Mexico. I was excited to join him at today's town hall - and am proud to be in his corner.
The dangers of artificial intelligence have become an enormous issue - yet the White House has been so passive that even the AI companies themselves are asking what it will take to get government to step up and establish safeguards.
Tucson is fired up! Thank you to everyone who came out to support JoAnna Mendoza in this critical race.
It was great to meet with @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and the young volunteers who are fueling her grassroots campaign. They are knocking on doors and organizing their communities because they understand how much their futures depend on stepping up in the present.
L’Shanah Tovah to everyone celebrating the first night of Rosh Hashanah. Wishing you a sweet New Year filled with peace, happiness, and prosperity.
Today's numbers show inflation remains objectively worse than it was when Republicans took over.
This is a direct result of Trump and the GOP's decisions - the Iran War, the tariffs, the corporate tax giveaways. Time for a change.
It’s difficult to believe that twenty-five years have passed since the devastation of 9/11 changed so much in our county and our lives.
In the response, we also saw the best of America.
JD Vance knows better than to sell yet another false promise to the millions of Americans hurting in this unaffordable Trump economy.
