Instead of negotiating, the Trump admin is trying a different strategy: threaten to do something they’re already doing. While Republicans play games with federal workers’ lives, Democrats are fighting to restore health care for millions of Americans. We are not the same.

White House begins plan for mass firings if there’s a government shutdown

The Office of Management and Budget sent a memo to federal agencies Wednesday night instructing them to plan for staff reductions, including firings.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 25(source)

Trump’s tariffs aren’t just raising prices, they’re slowing down our economy. That’s bad news for workers who will lose their jobs, manufacturers who will sell less, and small businesses who will be forced to shut their doors.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 24(source)

All Trump’s cuts to food assistance have done are force more American kids and families to go hungry, and he knows it. Why else is he canceling USDA's report showing the impact of these awful cuts?

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 24(source)

Those brought to America as children deserve stability and the knowledge that they won't be deported from the only country many of them have ever known. I'm proud to support the America's Children Act and to support Documented Dreamers on their immigration journey to become citizens of this country.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 24(source)

Last week, Senate Democrats' plan to keep the government open received more votes than Republicans' – but Trump's allies still blocked it. If the government shuts down, it's on them.

Why are Trump and his administration willing to go deeper into debt to bail out the Argentine president before a bailout for the American people?

The GOP’s Big Ugly Bill still rips coverage away from millions, forces hospitals to shut down, and drives up premiums—all to give huge tax breaks to their donors. If your health care costs spike next year, you know who's responsible.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 23(source)

The president and his party control the House and the Senate. If we have a shutdown, it's their shutdown.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 23(source)

Republicans have blocked Democrats out of the budget process because we’re standing up for families struggling with rising health care costs.⁣ ⁣ They’re fighting for the wealthy. We’re fighting for working Americans. That’s the difference between us.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 23(source)

The president swore an oath to protect the Constitution—including the First Amendment. Trying to silence his critics doesn't show strength, it shows weakness.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 22(source)

I’m glad to hear that Jimmy Kimmel is coming back on air this week. But let’s be clear – we’re moving in a very dangerous direction when government agencies are threatening networks because they don’t like the content of their programs.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 22(source)

Republicans voted on Friday to block funding and walk away from fixing their own health care mess. Families can’t afford this dysfunction—government only works if we work together.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 19(source)

Well, I’m glad to see at least someone is increasing sanctions on Russia, and holding China accountable for underpinning Putin’s war effort. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/w...

Europe Announces New Sanctions to Ramp Up Pressure on Russia

Trump’s use of the FCC and the federal government to silence a comedian is just another chilling development down the road of ending free speech in America.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 18(source)

America used to be the Leader of the Free World. With President Trump in charge, we're wallpaper.

Annie and I are praying for them, their families, and all law enforcement officers who step forward to protect us. May God welcome these three courageous souls into His arms.

Five brave law enforcement officers put on their uniforms today and went to work to make their communities safer. Now, at least three of them will never come home. No family should have to go through this. No nation should have to mourn so many losses, so often.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 17(source)

Yesterday, I told FBI Director Kash Patel that I’m seeing an FBI leadership more focused on social media clout and on political revenge than on fighting crime.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 17(source)

Today is #ConstitutionDay. For 238 years, our Constitution has embodied the core freedoms and liberties our Founders sought to protect. Trump’s threats to free speech and the rule of law, however, are a reminder that we, the people, must be persistent in safeguarding these core beliefs.

Senator Chris Coons@coons.senate.govSep 17(source)

When public servants–judges and journalists and elected officials – are too afraid for their own safety or their family’s safety to stand up and do their jobs, we all suffer. Political violence is never acceptable.
