Rep. Jared Huffman

Democrats join legal challenge to Trump’s planned 250-foot arch “This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” Sen. Angus King of Maine told The Post, citing a law that certain monuments must receive Congress’s approval.

New: Democrats asked a federal court to block Trump's 250-ft arch.

Under law, Congress must approve certain monuments in DC.

“This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” @SenAngusKing said.

They also mocked the "vanity" project.

“This is not Pyongyang,” @RepHuffman told me.

Join me on Tuesday, March 10 in Santa Rosa for a health care town hall with Congressman Jared Huffman and State Senator Mike McGuire. We’ll discuss the rising cost of health care, efforts to lower costs for families, and the path forward for universal coverage.

I’m against this war, and I’m for holding this president accountable.

YouTube video by Congressman Jared Huffman This is what happens when Christian Nationalism infiltrates the government

Our troops are being told that war with Iran is part of a biblical prophecy for Armageddon that Trump was anointed by God to carry out.

This is what happens when Christian Nationalism infiltrates the government. And people are dying because of it.

Standing up for our climate and environmental justice is one of my biggest priorities in Congress – everyone deserves clean air and water, affordable clean energy, and healthy public lands.

I'm honored I got 100% on this year's @lcv.org Scorecard, and I’ll keep working to earn one every year!

It is another alarming abuse of power that Congress must confront, and unfortunately another blow to America’s credibility and goodwill on the global stage, which Trump has made it virtually impossible for any nation to negotiate and pursue diplomacy with the United States.

I oppose this rash, illegal act of war against Iran and will be working to confront it under the War Powers Act and other authorities in the days ahead.

The best I can say about Trump’s SOTU speech last night is that it probably does reflect the actual state of our union: a disaster. We have an unhinged madman in the presidency and a Republican Congress that refuses to question or check him.

You deserve better.

Fresh Off a Supreme Court Loss, Trump Could Face New Challenges on Tariffs

Trump’s tariffs are raising prices, tanking our economy, and hurting Americans.

His own SCOTUS judges ruled that they’re illegal. But he’s doubling down and trying any trick he can find to reimpose them. He needs to get off his tariff obsession and do something to actually lower costs.

We’re gearing up to hear a lot of lies in Trump’s State of the Union, so here’s the truth: Donald Trump has failed the American people.

The economy is tanking, health care is unaffordable, ICE is terrorizing communities, our democracy is under siege – and you deserve better.

What’s in the Epstein Files is horrific.

Enough with the politics. We need to hold all of these predators accountable and get justice for victims.

YouTube video by Congressman Jared Huffman Here’s what I’m doing to protect your data and voting rights

Republicans are doubling down on their extreme SAVE Act with an even crazier bill to hand over voters’ personal data to Kristi Noem and ICE. They’re trying to rig the system with this federal takeover of state and local elections. Here’s what I’m doing on #TheFlipSide, to protect your rights.

Our taxpayer dollars should be helping people in our communities afford groceries and health care, not funding terror in our streets. This violence cannot be justified, and it's long past time that Trump reins in ICE and establishes a fair, humane immigration system.

Trump's tariffs cost American households $1,000 last year: Research group President Donald Trump’s tariffs cost the average American household $1,000 last year, according to new research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.

Trump’s stupid, useless tariffs are costing everyday Americans $1,000 a year. Republicans need to work with Democrats to lower the cost of living instead of going along with every scam Trump concocts for his billionaire buddies.

Trump backs the SAVE America Act: Here's what's actually in it The SAVE Act would fall short of his broader demands.

Trump wants to nationalize our elections, and Republicans are enabling him. This insane bill is the latest remix of their decades-long crusade to destroy voting rights – but even worse. It blocks millions of eligible Americans from registering to vote, including military families, women, and more.

Trump removes racist video depicting the Obamas as apes The White House initially defended Trump's post, saying it was "from an internet meme video." But after backlash — including from Republicans — it was removed.

This post from anyone, let alone the President, is inexcusably racist and vile. Trump's agenda is clear – from hateful social media posts to brutal ICE raids to attacking voting rights. It is completely unacceptable.

Layoffs in January were the highest to start a year since 2009, Challenger says With the recent narrative centering on a no-hire, no-fire labor market, the data suggests that the layoff part of the equation could be stepping up.

We haven't seen this many layoffs since 2009, and Trump is making things worse. Families are struggling to afford food and health care, and that should be our focus right now – not building new ballrooms and ignoring what the American people need.

The cost of health care, not food or rent, is now Americans’ top worry As politicians prepare their pitches for the midterm elections, a survey finds that about 1 in 3 Americans are “very worried” about health care costs.

The American people have been loud and clear – they want affordable health care, not handouts for billionaires. Trump and Republicans in Congress need to get their priorities straight.

While Trump’s ICE agents terrorize communities and shoot people down in our streets, Republicans are trying to pass even more funding for this rogue police force. On #TheFlipSide, I'm voting NO to more funding and pushing for bills that establish guardrails and protections.

Despite Trump’s Claims, Grocery Prices Are Rising

People are struggling to put food on the table. Instead of making groceries more affordable, Republicans are trying to give ICE thugs $40K+ bonuses to and doing nothing to address hard-working Americans' real problems. House Democrats and I are focused on making life better for people, not harder.

ICE Expands Power of Agents to Arrest People Without Warrants

ICE is already out of control and abusing every ounce of power they get. Letting them arrest people without warrants is going to make this horrific situation even worse.

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon taken into custody after protest at Minnesota church service Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents in Los Angeles, where had been covering the Grammy Awards, his attorney said.

What in the authoritarian-takeover hell is this?

Arresting journalists for doing their job is horrific. The Trump admin is breaking the law to silence reporters and hide the truth.

GAO: Trump workforce cuts slow tribal cooperation agreements Federal agencies need to assess whether they have sufficient staff to develop public land co-stewardship agreements with tribes, a new report says.

Tribal nations deserve a seat at the table when deciding what happens on their lands – and Trump’s ruthless budget cuts and job-slashing sprees are making that kind of collaboration even harder.

We need more resources to make co-management as successful as possible, and I’ll keep prioritizing that.

Life in Trump’s America is not affordable. Republicans promised to look out for hardworking people, and clearly, they lied.

I'm working with my Democratic colleagues every day to drive down prices.

Designating the Bay Area Ridge Trail as a National Scenic Trail would help complete it and set it on par with iconic trails like the Appalachian and Pacific Crest.

Senator Schiff and I are thrilled to be getting the ball rolling.

Philadelphia sues after slavery exhibits were taken down from President's House site The lawsuit says the National Park Service removed the displays referring to slavery "presumably pursuant to the mandate” of an executive order from President Donald Trump.

Trump is using our national parks as a pawn to try and whitewash history and ignore reality. The National Park Service has a responsibility to present facts without political interference – removing exhibits about slavery and climate change is unacceptable.

(2/2) While we mourn the loss of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, I'm standing with the brave people in Minneapolis during this increasingly difficult and uncertain time. ICE’s brutal reign of terror must be stopped.

(1/2) Trump, Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security are completely out of control. Lawless and masked agents are killing civilians in Minneapolis, in the most horrific, preventable tragedies that are truly hard to believe, impossible to watch, and everything in between.
