Trump ran on lowering grocery costs for American families—but food prices have only increased, and his war of choice will send them skyrocketing as Iran blocks fertilizer shipments. That's what happens when you leave foreign policy up to an out-of-touch billionaire. cnbc.com/2026/03/11/ira…

They are gladly holding workers’ pay hostage because they won't agree to reasonable reforms of ICE that most Americans support. @SenateGOP can't say they're serious about security while refusing to fund its most basic functions.

Republicans are treating TSA workers as political leverage instead of the essential workers they are. @SenateDems have tried five separate times to fund TSA and other essential DHS functions – Republicans have blocked us every time.

When unions are strong, America is strong. Grateful for the opportunity to meet with incredible Delaware leaders from @LIUNA Local 1029 and discuss how we strengthen protections for workers, raise wages, and build a stronger middle class.

If their DHS nominee will require ICE to have judicial warrants, why isn't the White House willing to codify that into law?

America faces a greater risk of terror thanks to Trump's war in Iran, but we have fewer defenses than ever before since he, Bondi, and Patel hollowed out DOJ and decimated the strength of the FBI. apnews.com/article/fbi-ir…

While Trump fights for tax breaks for the wealthy, I'm proud to support the Working Americans' Tax Cut Act to eliminate income taxes for Americans earning under $46K, cut taxes for those making under $80.5K, and make the wealthiest pay their fair share. coons.senate.gov/news/press-rel…

13 Americans are dead, and the price of gas climbed 75 cents last week, but Trump is playing golf and his administration is focused on the design of the White House columns.

American consumers have always been the last of this administration’s concerns.

The dignified transfer of fallen service members at Dover is one of our nation's most solemn rituals. Using it as an opportunity to fundraise is an absolute disgrace. Every single person on Trump's team who signed off on this should be fired immediately. cnn.com/2026/03/13/pol…

Three weeks into Trump’s war of choice with Iran, and 13 American service members are dead, while families back home are facing soaring gas costs and skipping meals to keep up with health care and utility bills. No one is winning this war. The United States definitely isn't.

Trump's war did that.

Lent is a time for reflection and humility. Grateful to share a moment after our Senate bipartisan prayer breakfast this past week with my friend @SenTimKaine to reflect on what this season means to us.

Nazeer fought alongside our soldiers and came to the US with the promise we'd protect him, only to be detained by ICE and dead 24 hours later. There needs to be an independent investigation into his arrest and death and accountability for any mistreatment. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

Last night, an Air Force KC-135 crashed in western Iraq. Annie and I are keeping the families of the six airmen who were killed in our prayers. We are grateful for their service and sacrifice amid this ongoing war.

My heart goes out to Temple Israel in Michigan. I’m relieved the congregants and staff and all the kids at the daycare center are safe and unharmed. It’s tragic how many houses of worship have security guards today and that incidents like this show they’re needed.

There’s bipartisan support in the Senate for regulating AI to ensure the country as a whole benefits and Americans are protected against its largest risks. I believe we can get this done. I’m ready to work with anyone to make it happen.

I already have a couple of bipartisan bills I’m working on. The Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act would prohibit deceptive AI-generated content about federal candidates like what we’re seeing in Hungary. The NO FAKES Act would protect all Americans from spreading unauthorized deepfake content using your voice and likeness. And we need to do way more to protect our kids and our privacy from threats posed by artificial intelligence.

We’re once again seeing AI-generated content spreading misinformation about elections, this time in Hungary. It’s increasingly clear that AI-generated misinformation is influencing elections here in America and around the world and needs to be reined in. Congress needs to get serious about passing smart, strategic rules about AI before it’s too late. reuters.com/world/hungary-…
