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?

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.
This is not the end of our work to reform ICE; it is the beginning. I will spend the next two weeks pushing my colleagues to enact real reforms that put strong guardrails around DHS and its agents and bring them in line with what we expect from every other law enforcement agency in the country.
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.

My internship on Capitol Hill inspired me to pursue a career in public service. If you're interested in a similar path, join my team this summer! Applications are now open for my Washington, Wilmington, and Dover internships. Apply here: www.coons.senate.gov/services/res...
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.
A man attacked Minneapolis Rep. Ilhan Omar, spraying an unknown substance with a strong odor toward her, just seconds after the Democratic congresswoman called for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to resign and urged the abolishment of ICE. https://cnn.it/49Z8Kzz
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."
