🚨 @alexismjpp.bsky.social and I highlighted a new report on GOP Medicaid cuts harming @ppfa.org. Clinics are closing. Breast cancer screenings are down. Women’s health is under attack. Trump & GOP are attacking reproductive rights. Proud to co-author this report exposing it.

They are gladly holding workers’ pay hostage because they won't agree to reasonable reforms of ICE that most Americans support. Senate GOP can't say they're serious about security while refusing to fund its most basic functions.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 19(source)
Republicans are treating TSA workers as political leverage instead of the essential workers they are. Senate Dems have tried five separate times to fund TSA and other essential DHS functions – Republicans have blocked us every time.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 18(source)
When unions are strong, America is strong. Grateful for the opportunity to meet with incredible Delaware leaders from @weareliuna.bsky.social Local 1029 and discuss how we strengthen protections for workers, raise wages, and build a stronger middle class.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 18(source)
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-...
US faces elevated terrorism threats against backdrop of Iran war and cuts at FBI, Justice Department
Three acts of ideologically inspired violence in the past week in the United States have laid bare the heightened terrorism threat unfolding against the backdrop of the war with Iran.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 17(source)
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.

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 17(source)
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. www.cnn.com/2026/03/13/p...
Trump fundraising email uses photo from soldiers’ dignified transfer and promises ‘private national security briefings’ | CNN Politics
A political fundraising email from President Donald Trump’s political action committee has a provocative pitch.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 16(source)
Americans are delaying treatment, stretching prescriptions, and cutting back on essentials because of the high cost of care and Trump's decision to slash hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 16(source)
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.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 16(source)
For America to be strong, the middle class needs to be strong. So why are Republicans and Trump slashing health care funding and pushing up prices on everything from gas to groceries – all while directing trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans?
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 13(source)
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.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 12(source)
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.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 12(source)
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.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 12(source)
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.
Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govMar 12(source)
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.
