I’ve been against Trump’s arch from the start. Now, his own National Park Service is even admitting the harm this thing will cause.
Do you know how we could avoid this harm? Don’t build the stupid thing.
Trump has already left his gaudy mark on Washington. I won’t stand by while he tries to make his ego a permanent fixture of its historic landscape.
For two years, the White House stonewalled every question we asked. Now we hear about shredders running at Interior. To every agency and every corporate donor who bought a seat at Trump’s table: consider yourself on notice.
Everything is coming. It’s all coming.
🚨 NEW: RM @RepHuffman to the Trump admin & its corporate donors: “save everything.”
36 agencies & companies were directed to preserve every record tied to Democrats’ investigations, dig up anything they deleted, and certify it in writing.
On this Veterans Day, we honor the generations of Americans who have served our country and the sacrifices they’ve made on our behalf.
For veterans on the North Coast, that means improving access to rural health care, so they aren’t forced to drive hours to see a doctor. It means protecting retirement and disability benefits for combat-wounded veterans, supporting surviving military families, and strengthening mental health and suicide prevention services.
With new communities joining California’s Second Congressional District in January, I’m looking forward to visiting local VA clinics and health centers, hearing directly from veterans about the challenges they’re facing, and making sure their needs are reflected in my work.
From introducing legislation to improve rural veterans’ health care to supporting efforts to address veterans’ compensation and access to education and training benefits. I’ll continue doing my part in Washington to support our veterans and their families.
To all who have served, our nation is forever grateful.
The Senate just moved a sweeping permitting bill one step closer to passage.
Americans deserve cheaper, cleaner energy and a say in what gets built in their communities. But this 500-page backroom deal would gut our environmental protections, undermine Tribal sovereignty, and shut communities out of decisions they’ll have to live with for decades.
That could give Trump more room to push through his vanity projects, fast track massive AI data centers, and hand fossil fuel companies another free pass.
Congress still has a chance to say no to this bill as written. We should be making it easier to build clean energy and lower people’s bills, not making it easier to ignore Tribes or anyone Big Oil thinks is in the way. We have to do better.
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
Thanks to @RepHuffman for standing with Tribal Nations and opposing BAAJA. Permitting reform should honor Tribal sovereignty, not undermine it
Americans made it clear they aren't happy with how the country is being run. And Trump's response? Put one of the main Project 2025 architects involved to continue the chaos and destruction.
Democrats are going to be in charge soon, and you better believe we're going to fight back and rein these guys in.
I'm grateful for the trust the North Coast has placed in me to continue representing our communities in Congress. It's a responsibility I don't take lightly.
We've got a lot of work ahead of us: lowering costs, protecting healthcare, standing up for our freedoms, and bringing some long-overdue accountability back to Washington.
I'm ready to get to work.
Like every other goon in this administration, Data Center Doug is in it for himself. He wants to cover our public lands with AI data centers that will make him and Trump's tech buddies richer.
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
Public testimony begins with @RepHuffman, top Democrat on key panel overseeing parkland, saying that Trump’s arch is illegal and he must ask Congress if he wants to build it.
HUFFMAN: "Donald Trump is a president, not a king."
Huffman and Paoletta then argued at length.
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
No need, we'll do the hard work for them.
This is the most outrageously corrupt administration in American history, and we're going to keep looking into their corrupt dealings.

BREAKING: @FoxNews has obtained a letter sent today by GOP House Majority Leader Steve Scalise to all House GOP committee Chairmen with recommendations on how best to use their remaining days in power to prepare for upcoming House Democrat investigations and "retribution".
"You all will be a key line of defense in this fight", Scalise writes.
Recommendations include: “Identifying administration officials, programs and authorities, and external allies, including conservative partners and industry leaders likely on their target list” and considering how recent SCOTUS decisions will affect oversight moving forward.

One day before the midterms, Trump held a bizarre press conference, waving around posters of his latest DC renovation plans, boasting about his giant arch, and blaming imaginary vandals for his botched Reflecting Pool makeover.
Even his MAGA-jammed DOJ attributed the damage to faulty installation, not vandalism.
The clock is ticking, Trump. The American people deserve answers about where their money went, and tomorrow, they get to have their say.
This loophole exists, and Trump has proven he's not afraid to use any opening he can find to make himself richer.
We need to close it and stop him from using taxpayer money to pad his luxury golf course portfolio.
A House Democrat is asking congressional appropriators for guardrails that would prevent President Trump from exploiting a loophole in federal law to buy the East Potomac Golf Course that he's been pushing to renovate with taxpyer funds.

This is an industry giveaway that won't lower prices, and it’s an insult to the intelligence of voters from a president who just boasted that "we're making a freaking fortune" from high oil and gas prices due to his war in Iran.
The only ones winning are Trump and his billionaire Big Oil buddies. nytimes.com/2026/10/27/clima…
It was great to visit the Spud Point Icehouse in Bodega Bay and see firsthand how vital this facility is to our local fishing industry.
I'm proud to have secured $1.2 million in federal funding to help modernize the icehouse and ensure our fishing fleet has the resources it needs to thrive.
A huge thank you to our hardworking fishermen, who play such an essential role in our coastal communities and local economy.
Last weekend, I joined Andy Neal, an outdoor advocate and former evangelical pastor, for a walk through the beautiful redwoods of Del Norte County. We had a wide-ranging conversation about government, religion, environmental conservation, and the rise of Christian nationalism.
I appreciated the opportunity to exchange perspectives and reflect on these important issues in a place we both have a special connection to. I can’t think of a better place to talk about our shared goals than the awe-inspiring redwoods!

Israeli authorities detained humanitarian volunteers and American rabbis who were peacefully helping Palestinian farmers harvest their olives in the West Bank.
I urge the Israeli Ambassador to immediately intervene, end the intimidation of these volunteers, release those still detained, and ensure they are not deported.
Protecting Palestinian farmers from settler violence should not be treated as a crime.
Jewish tradition calls on us to pursue justice. Today, American rabbis and advocates lived out those values by helping Palestinian farmers harvest their olives. Israeli authorities detained them, including congressional candidate @BradLander.
The Israeli government must immediately release everyone detained and start arresting these settler terrorists.
The Palestinian farmers these leaders and advocates came to support are left even more vulnerable to settler and state violence without the protection of those who stood beside them.
This is precisely when our values must mean something. American Jewish institutions that claim to care about Israel’s future must stop looking away. It’s past time to speak out.
Yesterday, one of my district offices received a suspicious letter containing an unknown white powder.
Similar letters have been sent to congressional offices and election officials across California and the country, prompting a broader investigation by federal authorities.
I'm relieved that my staff are safe and unharmed. The safety of my team and the many constituents that visit our offices is my top priority, and I'm grateful to the law enforcement officials who responded quickly.
Political violence, threats, and intimidation have absolutely no place in our democracy. This type of behavior must be condemned unequivocally.
For nearly a year, I’ve been demanding answers about who’s bankrolling Trump’s gilded ballroom. It should never have taken leaked documents for Americans to find out who exactly was paying: Big Tech, defense contractors, crypto companies, and billionaire allies with business before his administration.
We deserve a full accounting of who paid and what they were promised. But it’s clear this administration has gone out of its way at every step to serve these billionaire donors instead of the American people.
Exclusive: A list reveals all the major donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom, including previously undisclosed contributors who have benefited from regulatory decisions, government contracts and, in one case, a pardon for a family member. wapo.st/3UtGh0X
There's a reason that, in movies, the guys in expensive suits who show up to chop down trees and bulldoze a public park to build a golf course are the villains.
East Potomac Park belongs to the American people, not a shambolic president who thinks our public lands are part of his personal golf course portfolio.
