Reports put the amount of money the Treasury Department has given Iran through sanctions relief at billions of dollars – money they’re using to threaten our troops. When I asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about it today, he tried to dismiss it. But it’s real, and it’s an outrage.

Treasury Secretary Bessent told me today that Direct File “wasn’t free.” That’s false. Direct File was a free, easy-to-use program that helped more than 300,000 taxpayers save an average of $270 and hours of time filing their taxes.
Happy Earth Day! I’m reflecting on all the beauty Delaware has to offer—from our beaches and bays to Brandywine Park—and what we must do to protect it.
President Trump's war of choice has now wounded nearly 400 American servicemembers without clear goals or an endgame. This is a disgusting betrayal of our troops' trust and safety.
Happy National Volunteer Week! Service has always helped bring Delawareans together. From schools and libraries to public cleanups and more, volunteering helps build a stronger and more just community. I’m proud to support the Food Bank of DE in fighting food insecurity across all three counties.
April is National Autism Awareness Month. I’m proud to have introduced the bipartisan Supporting Blue Envelope Programs Act to help drivers with autism communicate during traffic stops and support safer interactions with law enforcement. www.coons.senate.gov/news/press-r...
‘Not very high’ is easy to say when you’re not the one swiping the card for $4-a-gallon gas.
Trump says, “when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money,” but fails to mention that “we” are the oil CEOs who donated to his campaign – not you.
Retired Brigadier General Steve Anderson put it plainly: Trump's failure to set clear objectives in this reckless war of choice has put servicemembers and civilians at risk. thehill.com/homenews/adm...
I’m praying for the safety of the tens of thousands of service members the president is moving into the region and the many civilians in harm’s way. I'll continue to seek out every effort I can to end this war, keep Americans safe, and protect civilians across the region.
He also promised the American people he would stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Instead, his reckless war, waged without publicly laying out a clear rationale, strategy, or goal, has left the American and Iranian people all worse off than before it started.
I voted again to end President Trump’s war of choice with Iran, which has plunged the Middle East into chaos. Trump promised the Iranian people that help is on the way so they can rise up against their dangerous, repressive regime.
Before Trump’s war of choice with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz was open. Now it's closed, your gas prices are climbing, and the president still cannot explain how any of this makes America safer.
I’m heading to the Senate floor to speak in support of the Direct File Act on Tax Day. Americans spend an average of $270 and 13 hours filing their taxes. It should be free and easy. Tune in here: www.senate.gov/legislative/...
47 days into the war in Iran, 13 servicemembers have been killed, many more have been injured, and now Trump is sending thousands more troops to the region. They and their families deserve clear answers about what our goals are and when this war will end.
In Delaware, we believe health care should bring peace of mind—not more bills families cannot afford.
I call on all armed groups, and those who support them, to immediately lay down weapons, flow humanitarian aid into Sudan, and return to the negotiation table.
Three years in, the war in Sudan has created the greatest humanitarian and hunger crisis in the world. The Sudanese people have been the victims of the havoc the RSF, SAF, and other armed groups have wrought across the country.
On Yom HaShoah, we honor the 6 million Jewish victims murdered in the Holocaust and remember all those who suffered under the Nazis' brutality. May their memory be a blessing, and may we recommit ourselves to standing united against antisemitism and hatred everywhere.

$50B spent, no major goals have been accomplished…
WATCH @coons.senate.gov call out Trump’s escalatory approach in the Strait of Hormuz as neither a strategy nor a solution.
