Senator Chris Coons
@coons.senate.gov
Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the 40-day Lenten season, a sacred time renewal. While I usually observe this season privately, this year I’m looking forward to engaging more openly with Delawareans, colleagues, and faith leaders as we walk through this challenging time together.

When I talk to Delawareans about the war in Iran, all I hear is alarm about spiking gas prices, concern about our lack of strategy, and confusion about one more of Trump’s broken promises.
41 days after Trump started this war of choice with Iran, what have we actually accomplished? Not much.

To know the future, you need to know the past. If this senate was here 170 years ago, or 90 years ago, would we have seen what was coming?
Serving others is one powerful way to live out our faith during Lent. I was grateful to spend time volunteering with my friend Jenny Warren in Wilmington and to talk about what active faith looks like in practice.
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.
Republicans in Congress have given up on trying to save Affordable Care Act Tax Credits, and Delawareans like Diane from Middletown will (literally) pay the price for their failure.
One year since Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day,” and Trump still owes the American people money.
American service members are dead. Gas prices are rising. Markets are rattled. Yet the Trump administration still can’t answer basic questions about their war of choice in Iran. The American people deserve the truth.
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.

Totally makes sense now. Bubba is Bill and now we know why Trump sings YMCA non-stop. Must of been a hell of a bloweee.
I hate putting out videos about the news, current events or politics because I know I will get abuse online. Don't try to reason with trolls, bullies and bots, just block them and move on with your life. It's so much better for your mental health.

Good morning all you amazing critters and welcome to #Caturday, pounce on making it a purrrrfectly awesome day.
I'm pleased the Government is taking action to reduce smoking and vaping - to protect young people and help smokers to give up. I welcomed plans to encourage enforcement, giving councils the power to reinvest fines from shops which break the law to help pay for local enforcement.

Sec. Buttigieg: Most Americans agree with us that the government should be doing more and not less to make sure you can get health care, and that you can afford it. That means expanding Medicaid and expanding the Affordable Care Act — not tearing it down.

Scott Bessent says Americans have paid nearly $200 more for gas since the war with Iran started. He also says it "isn't much" money. $200 isn't much for billionaires like Bessent and Trump, but for the average retiree whose Social Security check is $1400/month, it's a crisis.

It's kind of amazing to be one day shy of 4 years clean time and still be wondering if I deserve to live, ignoring whether I deserve anything good, and wondering if my brother has any regrets. #recovery
