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.
Good riddance to these two. Members who violated their oaths and mistreated staff have no business serving in Congress.
State judges shouldn't have to deal with threats of violence like these each year. The House needs to pass my Countering Threats and Attacks on Our Judges Act so we can send it to the president's desk and increase resources to help protect local judges. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/u...

📈💸 Why are prices surging? A few reasons, but they all have one thing in common: Trump.
He started a costly foreign war no one asked for.
He imposed chaotic tariffs that have upended the economy.
He’s creating uncertainty and instability that keeps driving costs higher.
We don't have money for health care or the humanities, but we do have $15 million for another Trump ego project.
There are 70 million Catholics in this country, and countless more Americans of faith who believe in humility, compassion, and peace. By attacking Pope Leo, President Trump is mocking the faith of millions of Americans.
A Christian nationalist strongman was just routed at the polls because of economic mismanagement, oppression, and widespread corruption. Would-be autocrats around the world should take notice.
Congratulations to Peter Magyar and the Tisza party on winning today’s elections in Hungary. This is a victory for democracy, the transatlantic alliance, and Hungarians, who showed up in defense of their freedoms and their future.
To the brave astronauts of Artemis II—Welcome home!
41 days after Trump started this war of choice with Iran, what have we actually accomplished? Not much.
Democrats know that Medicaid is one of the clearest ways we live out the belief that health care should not depend on how much money you have. So why did Republicans gut Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy?
I’m encouraged by Anthropic’s launch of Project Glasswing, a coalition of America’s leading technology companies working together to deploy cutting-edge AI models to find and fix dangerous security flaws before our adversaries can exploit them. Read my full statement here:
Reproductive care is health care. When Republicans attack abortion access, they also go after birth control, cancer screenings, and basic preventive care. I will continue to oppose any attacks on bodily autonomy.
I'll always fight for an economy that lowers costs, strengthens America’s energy security, and puts the financial stability of Delaware families ahead of Trump’s chaotic agenda.
If reports are true, it seems that under this deal, Iran will still maintain control of the Strait, a worse situation than before Trump began this war of choice.
