Jeanne Shaheen: “I think we should lift the sequestration caps.”

I have heard from hundreds of my constituents in New Hampshire about this Administration’s moves to dismantle the Department of Education, and they’re concerned about what would happen—particularly for our young children with disabilities.

This is a time in the country when people are losing faith in institutions, particularly young people. And so having these kinds of traditions that people can relate to that help humanize what goes on here I think is really important.

It’s outrageous the Administration would try to shortchange our troops and their families from receiving the full benefits that they have earned through service and sacrifice.

Our fighting force is stronger when any American – regardless of their gender – can meet the toughest military standards in the world.
