The rent is too damn high. Democrats passed the ROAD to Housing Act passed the Senate because it would help build more homes and lower costs for families. One last-minute decision from Trump should not stop it from becoming law.

Look at the biggest progressive fights in history – abolition to labor rights, civil rights, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and the rights of communities long pushed to the margins – and you'll often find they were not just political movements, but religious movements.

How do you know the Iran negotiations are going poorly? Because JD Vance says one thing, Iranian negotiators say another, and Trump tweets about algae in the reflecting pool.

Overturning Roe was never the endgame for Republicans; it was the beginning. 4 years after the Dobbs ruling, abortion, contraception, IVF, and doctor-patient confidentiality are under attack. The government shouldn't tell you what to do with your body or your future.

Delaware’s Blue Hen is part of America’s 250th birthday cake! I was proud to help add our state bird to this bipartisan birthday cake celebrating the people, places, and stories that make up America. Many thanks to America250 and cake artist Grace Pak!

Americans have made clear Congress' top priority is bringing down everyday costs for families. We finally passed a bipartisan bill to bring down housing costs. Now, Trump is throwing a tantrum and saying he won’t sign it. It’s a slap in the face to every American from Trump and his GOP enablers.

A piece of the First State is headed to America's official 250th birthday cake. I joined Grace Pak, founder of Duchess of Cameron, to help paint Delaware’s Fightin’ Blue Hen, which will represent our state alongside all 50 states and territories as part of the nation’s 250th birthday celebration!

My office is accepting applications for Fall 2026 internships in Washington, D.C., Dover, and Wilmington. It’s a chance to serve Delawareans and learn more about public service. Apply on my website by June 30th! www.coons.senate.gov/services/res...

Science doesn’t care about your feelings or your politics. And yet Trump and his cronies are trying to politicize the scientific grantmaking process that is a pillar of American innovation, industry, and global leadership.

This World Refugee Day is a call to action. Refugees have the right to live free from persecution and violence, and the United States should recommit to providing protection and opportunity to those who have been thoroughly vetted and are in need of refuge.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom and a reminder that America's story is one of continually striving to live up to its highest ideals. Today, we honor the generations of Black Americans whose courage and sacrifice helped move our nation forward.

I never forget my W-2 says legislator. This week, seven of my bipartisan bills advanced in the Senate, one step closer to becoming law.

President Trump promised this war would be short and the economy would bounce back quickly. Three months later, gas is still over $4 a gallon, groceries are still rising, and families are still paying the price. A deal is welcome. Accountability for how we got here is still required.

HUGE news: my bill with Senator Blackburn to protect Americans from AI deepfakes, the NO FAKES Act, just passed unanimously out of the Senate Judiciary Committee. One step closer to becoming law and protecting the voice and likeness of all Americans. Let’s get this done.

President Trump started a reckless war in Iran that cost billions, drove up prices, and left American service members dead and wounded. Ending it is necessary, but what we’re left with looks by all accounts to be a bad deal. That's why Congress and the American people need to see the text now.

My faith guides me, but I serve Delawareans of every faith and no faith. Religious freedom means ensuring everyone has the space and room to live and breathe free.

The U.S. is not and was not founded as a Christian nation. As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, I’m reminded that to defend our nation and our Constitution is to defend religious freedom.

I’m closely monitoring reports of a shooting at Wilmington Hospital.   I’m praying for everyone’s safety, including patients, health care workers, first responders, and law enforcement officers. Please continue to follow updates from local officials.

There is no “mifepristone in the water” crisis. What there is are Republicans looking for one more way to try to control women's bodies.

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will reopen. His own vice president says the terms are still being worked out. Which is it? We'd know the answer if they released the details of the deal.

Trump found one cost he’s willing to share with working families: the bill for his ballroom.

14 years after DACA was created, Dreamers have become teachers, workers, parents, business owners, and neighbors. They are a part of this country, but they are under threat from Trump’s inhumane mass deportation agenda and an ICE machine that keeps growing more reckless.

Absolutely ridiculous. People can’t afford gas. Rent is swallowing entire paychecks. If last night was this administration’s idea of a gift, they have no idea how Americans are living.

The world's largest humanitarian crisis is the ongoing civil war in Sudan. After three years of atrocities and death, it's far past time for us to use our leverage to push for a durable and lasting peace.

On Flag Day, we recognize the Stars and Stripes as a symbol of our nation and the values that bring us together. Today, we pay tribute to our nation’s flag and honor the veterans, servicemembers, and military families who have carried its promise forward.

This is Trump's immigration policy in a nutshell. He claims he wants only the "best" immigrants—but when the continent of Africa literally sends its best, he gets turned away. Now, America's World Cup will suffer as a result.

Trump has torn down the systems we rely on to stop Ebola before it becomes a global crisis – gutted outbreak response teams, cut disease surveillance capacity, and blocked U.S. scientists from working directly with WHO. If this disease spreads further, you know who to thank – Donald Trump and DOGE.

More than 100 days into Trump’s war with Iran, Americans still don’t have a clear goal, a real strategy, or an end in sight.

College sports needs clear rules that protect student-athletes and preserve the games, teams, and traditions fans love.

Don't worry, we know.

Instead of focusing on lowering costs for you and your family, Trump decided to plunge us into a disastrous war of choice in the Middle East. Now, inflation is the highest it’s been in years, and there’s no end in sight.

100+ days into Trump’s war with Iran, he wants you to believe it’s going well. Here’s what it has actually delivered: ⛽ $4+ gas 🛒 Higher grocery bills ✈️ More expensive summer travel 🚛 Higher diesel and shipping costs

AI is already reshaping the future of warfare, and we need clear guardrails before these systems are making life-or-death decisions.

Last week, Republicans chose Trump’s mass deportation agenda over working families. How does this bill help Americans afford gas? A family hit with higher health care premiums? A small business owner squeezed by Trump’s tariffs? It doesn’t.

Yesterday marked 100 days into Trump’s war with of choice with Iran, and missiles were still flying across the region. Here at home, Americans still have no clear strategy, no real answers, and no end in sight.

I’ve seen enough. I’m a no.

A president who cannot defend his flat-out false conspiracy theories without attacking the press is a dangerous sign for our democracy.

The White House is the people’s house. Trump wants to turn it into a monument to his ego.

Senate Republicans just pushed through another bill to spend taxpayer money on out-of-control and unaccountable immigration enforcement, while shielding ICE and CBP from commonsense reforms that would have brought them in line with law enforcement agencies around the nation.

Senate Republicans had a choice early this morning. They could stop taxpayer dollars from going to people convicted of assaulting police on January 6. Instead, they blocked my amendment.

Senate Republicans BLOCKED Sen. @coons.senate.gov amendment to bar taxpayer funds from going to insurrectionists who assaulted law enforcement officers. Shameful.

This is a dangerous moment for our republic. Tonight, I’m forcing a vote to block Trump’s slush fund, championed by Todd Blanche, from sending taxpayer dollars to people convicted of attacking cops on January 6th.

Great news for the First State! From developing the next generation of lifesaving drugs to developing the next generation of doctors, the future of health care will be made in Delaware! www.delawarepublic.org/science-heal...

ICE agents shouldn't be kicking down doors without a warrant, wearing masks, or operating by rules that would never fly for local police. But instead of accepting these basic reforms, Republicans are trying to push through another $72 billion tonight for Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

Our tax code should reflect our values. After 15 years of Republican tax cuts for the wealthy, it no longer does, and ordinary Americans are struggling. It's time for you to pay less and the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share again.

The message I heard from Delawareans this week was clear: they're working harder than ever and still falling behind. Here in the Senate, we have a responsibility to give them a hand up by making life more affordable and opportunities more plentiful.

We’ll be voting all day—and probably all night—on Republicans’ party line bill to fund Trump’s mass deportation effort. Republicans would rather give ICE a blank check than support commonsense, popular reforms that law enforcement officers around the country abide by every day.

Trump is spending: $100 million on a "victory arch" $1 billion on his ballroom $1.8 billion on his slush fund $13.1 million to repaint the Reflecting Pool But nothing to lower costs for you and your family

SCOTUS let Alabama use a map that lower courts found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. The right to vote is how Americans shape their future. Republicans know their ideas can’t compete on their merits, so they draw discriminatory maps to force that unpopular agenda through anyway.
