Democrats join legal challenge to Trump’s planned 250-foot arch
“This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) said, citing a law that certain monuments must receive Congress’s approval.
Proud to lead this fight. America's Capitol City is not like Pyongyang - at least not yet. We have rules and laws, and we don't desecrate Arlington Cemetery with a vanity project for a wannabee dictator who mocks dead war heroes as suckers and losers. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Huffman, Raskin Lead Call for Investigation of "Armageddon" Briefings
Thirty Democrats ask Pentagon inspector general to investigate military briefings allegedly casting Iran as a Christian holy war
Most Americans oppose Trump's crazed war of choice in Iran, and they certainly don't support a Holy War to bring on the end-times. I'm proud to lead 30 members of Congress in this demand for an independent investigation into these disturbing reports. jonathanlarsen.substack.com/p/huffman-ra...

This is just bonkers, as evangelicals dominate Republican ranks in every branch of government. It shows that these extreme Christian nationalists don't want to just have a voice, they want Dominion

Ha! That little anointing ceremony in the Oval Office yesterday answers the question. So does any given day in congress, where Evangelical Bible studies, prayer breakfasts and blatantly Theocratic legislation fill the agenda.

Hard for the Trump admin to criticize the religious extremism of Iran's fundamentalist theocracy with this glass house problem. Our own fanatical mullahs, anointing "King Cyrus" in the Oval Office today.

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

I will have much more to say int the days to come on this rash, illegal act of war against Iran, but for now I fully associate myself with Senator Kaine's remarks. This is madness, in addition to being lawless.

Arab Leaders Condemn Remarks by U.S. Ambassador to Israel
Will the real Trump policy on annexation please stand up? Trump says he opposes, Huck says the Bible gives all the land to Israel. Meanwhile, settlers and the Netanyahu/Smotrich government are steamrolling ahead with de facto annexation. We must confront this now. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/w...

As Trump Weighs Iran Strikes, He Declines to Make Clear Case for Why, or Why Now
Blinding flash of the obvious: Trump will attack Iran to distract from growing pressure for him to face accountability a la Prince Andrew. GOP Congress will look away. They have surrendered Article I war power to a madman and now aid/abet his Epstein coverup. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/u...

In his radically redrawn new district, a Marin congressman gets thrown to the wolves
A progressive congressman from Marin County is trying to win reelection in a place so right-leaning that the Democratic Party doesn’t even have a local chapter.

Under Prop 50 Rep. Jared Huffman already running hard in district that contains much of what Doug LaMalfa (R) had represented before he died

Just finished briefing w/ Gov. Walz & AG Ellison. America is in a dark, unthinkable place. We must have the courage & moral clarity to stand against thuggery, murder, gaslighting & criminality of ICE. Shame on those who rationalize/defend this. It's time to unite, fight peacefully & defeat fascism.

EXCLUSIVE: Members of Congress went on a five-day junket ostensibly about curbing China’s influence.
The itinerary included helping Nayib Bukele launch his country’s own National Prayer Breakfast … and private meetings with U.S. prayer breakfast organizers.
Rep. Jared Huffman is calling it out…
