Even if we don’t fund DHS, ICE still has a $75B budget. That’s more than the entire Marine Corps. So, I’m a co-sponsor of the Public Safety Act to move that money to state & local law enforcement that knows our communities and follows the law.

Republicans love to say—pay attention to what Trump says, not what he does. As the UK, Canada, and the EU move towards China due to Trump's erratic behavior, my new op-ed in TIME has my advice: it's time to pay attention to what our allies are doing, too. Read it here: time.com/7369006/cong...

If you're a health care fraudster or shady landlord in Minneapolis, great news: Trump's DOJ is too busy prosecuting protestors and dealing with the fallout from ICE to go after you. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Donald Trump's economy: the worst for American workers since the Great Recession.

Millions came here for opportunity. Millions more feel stuck and left behind. If we as Democrats don’t deliver real solutions to that issue, we don’t have a future.

In just three years since my ACT for ALS with Senator Murkowski was signed into law, we managed to TRIPLE federal funding for ALS research. And we won’t stop fighting for more until we find a cure.

Every week, I hear from Delawareans whose health insurance bills have skyrocketed—up hundreds or thousands of dollars per month. Families are already suffering under Trump’s economy, and these price hikes are unacceptable. I won’t stop fighting until we have real solutions that bring costs down.

I’m proud of these young Delawareans who have realized they may be too young to have a vote, but they’re never too young to have a voice. Thank you for getting into some Good Trouble and speaking out against ICE’s unaccountable and immoral overreach.  www.coasttv.com/news/cape-he...

Today is World Cancer Day, a day to remember all those we have lost and all those still fighting this terrible disease. I'm proud to have secured billions of dollars in the 2026 funding bills enacted yesterday that reverse Trump's brutal cuts to medical research, bringing us closer to a cure.

Deploying armed, paramilitary forces to intimidate voters is the behavior of despots and thugs. Here in the United States of America, we also call it illegal.

Republicans in Congress have given up on trying to save Affordable Care Act Tax Credits, and Delawareans like Diane from Middletown will (literally) pay the price for their failure.

I’m incredibly disturbed that Trump is mentioned over 1,000 times in the latest Epstein files. The DOJ is grossly mishandling this by not releasing ALL the files. The American people deserve transparency, and the victims deserve justice.

We're already seeing the damage from Republicans' refusal to extend health care tax credits last year: 1 million fewer Americans signed up for ACA coverage this year. It’s only going to get worse as Americans realize that they can no longer afford their health insurance in Trump's America.

Good news – This reverses Trump’s brutal cuts to medical research and housing programs and forces Republicans to negotiate on ICE. If they don’t agree to real reforms in two weeks, DHS will shut down.

The Department of Justice defied Congress and missed its legal deadline to release the full Epstein files a month ago. Why is the DOJ still protecting Trump instead of delivering transparency and justice for the victims and their families?

When you bully your friends, they look elsewhere for stability. China is the big winner of Trump’s “America First” agenda.

Why is the president so focused on an election he lost six years ago instead of bringing down costs for working families today? www.cnn.com/2026/02/02/p...

I’ll be speaking tonight at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy about my positive policy vision for the future of the Democratic Party, grounded in opportunity, security, and justice. You can watch my speech live here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W0q...

No matter what, Delaware always comes first for me. I’m proud to have worked with communities up and down our state to deliver $70 million in investments that will help our economy and add jobs, fund more affordable housing, bring down ER wait times, and help those seeking mental health care.

I’m glad that Senate Democrats were able to forge a deal that separates out full-year funding for DHS so we can move forward on five critical bills that will bring much needed relief to Americans across the country. These appropriations bills include incredible victories.

I was moved by today’s interfaith vigil honoring the lives of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We stood together in grief, prayer, and against the terror and lawlessness of ICE. This moment reflects a growing demand for justice and meaningful oversight of a cruel and inhumane DHS.

The Senate shouldn’t consider any Federal Reserve nominee while Trump and his DOJ carry on their politically motivated lawfare against multiple members of the Fed—certainly not one whose primary qualification is his willingness to do Trump’s bidding on interest rates.

When I was a county executive, I worked closely with law enforcement and understood what it means when we trust someone with a badge and a gun to protect our communities. What’s happening in Minneapolis is breaking that trust.

Americans: How am I ever going to afford a home? Washington needs to bring down the cost of housing. Donald Trump:

Today I voted NO on the DHS appropriations bill. We need accountability, oversight, and meaningful reforms.

Ordinary Minnesotans aren’t allowing themselves and their neighbors to be denied their basic human and constitutional rights, and they’re beginning to get results. But talk is cheap – we must keep pushing until ICE is out of Minnesota.

End the roving patrols. Enforce Accountability. Masks off, and body cameras on. These are the reforms Senate Democrats need to see to ICE and Border Patrol before the Homeland Security bill can move forward.

Two Democratic congressmembers have been physically attacked in the last week – and not only are Trump, Vance, and this administration not trying to lower the temperature, they’re fanning the flames. This administration needs to stop inciting violence against people who disagree with them.

There are plenty of simple, commonsense things the administration could do if they wanted to de-escalate and show that they take seriously the profound and grave harm that their ICE and CBP agents have caused in Minnesota. To start, they need to get out of Minneapolis.

Sen. Chris Coons: "We've got our President saying things that essentially amount to 'Alex Pretti deserved it because he was carrying a gun'—a gun he had a permit to carry…A striking change from the strong defense of 2nd amendment rights we typically hear from Republicans."

ICE said it was in Minnesota to enforce immigration laws. Now, AG Bondi says they won’t leave unless Minnesota hands over its voter rolls and citizens’ personal information.

I’m voting no on DHS funding. The horrifying killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti show that Department of Homeland Security is out of control, and Congress needs to put up more guardrails that restore transparency and oversight.

Good. If you build an AI that makes child pornography on demand for anyone in the world to use, you should be held accountable. I’m glad the EU is stepping up and investigating if the Trump administration won’t. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Alex Pretti was gunned down in cold blood, and it will take a lot to undo the harm and terror imposed on the people of Minneapolis and across the country.

On National Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember over 6 million Jews systematically killed by the Nazis. Antisemitism, Holocaust denial, and toxic rhetoric are on the rise around the world and here in America. We must stand against hate and recommit to protecting human dignity.

The Fourth Amendment isn’t hard to understand. ICE’s claim that they can force themselves into homes without a judge’s warrant is a blatant violation and a clear abuse of power.

ICE agents should be held to the same standards as law enforcement officers who patrol our communities every day–but they’re not, and the horrific killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti are the result.

Victor Acurio Suárez came to the U.S. fleeing gang violence in Ecuador, where he was beaten and left for dead. He came here seeking the American Dream, hopeful for a life free from violence.

I’m a no on the DHS appropriations bill. Working hard this week to increase accountability, transparency, and independent oversight of immigration enforcement, while avoiding a shutdown that complicates FEMA funding just as Delawareans and millions of Americans are digging out of a major storm.

Trump, Musk and DOGE didn’t just steal your Social Security data while they were stripping the Social Security Agency for parts—they tried to give that data to far-right groups to cheat on future elections. The Judiciary Committee must hold hearings into this gross perversion of our government.

If Trump tries to withhold federal funds for Delaware in an attempt to force unpopular and far-right policies on our state, he will lose in court again. If he's actually interested in keeping Delaware safe, he could return funds to local police departments that DOJ has been withholding for a year.

ICE insists they’re only detaining “the worst of the worst.” This is who they’re actually detaining in Minneapolis. Do five year old children like Liam look like the worst of the worst to you?

Our adversaries like China and Russia are drawing closer together—we need to stand united with our own allies to counter them. Senator Lisa Murkowski and I reaffirmed Congress' support for NATO and our NATO allies in our meeting with Secretary General Mark Rutte.

To be clear – Greenland and Denmark have always been willing to work with us on Arctic security and economic development. Trump could have gotten what we needed without antagonizing our NATO allies.

President Trump’s remarks today saying NATO has never helped us were as offensive as they were absurd. Our NATO allies rushed to our aid after 9/11 and more than one thousand NATO troops died alongside Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. President Putin and Xi Jinping are celebrating.

Undertrained, unaccountable ICE officers are putting Americans’ lives in danger while law enforcement agencies who know their communities go underfunded thanks to Trump. My PUBLIC SAFETY Act with @cortezmasto.senate.gov takes $75 billion from ICE and gives it to local cops who keep our streets safe.

Trump promised his tariffs would bring manufacturing “roaring back.” Instead, factory jobs have fallen nearly every month since April, as higher input costs and uncertainty hit U.S. producers. This article explains why.

I talked to NPR this morning about why Trump's threats to Greenland are a dumb way to get what we want. Bottom line: Trump is risking everything for nothing.
