Rep. Jared Huffman

Thanks, Obama 😉. It was a simpler time when the biggest scandal of the day was a fashion faux pas, and not the constant chaos of this White House.

The ocean doesn’t recognize borders, and neither should our efforts to protect it. Proud to partner with Azores President Bolieiro in @Reuters to share how CA & the Azores are proving that ocean protection is an investment, not a cost. Read our story: reuters.com/sustainability…

For years, Stephen Colbert's voice has been more than just entertaining; it's been a vital source of truth and satire that has consistently held the powerful accountable. Apparently, so much so that it drove our president mad. The idea that Paramount would consider silencing him to appease Donald Trump is deeply troubling, especially if the motive is to curry favor for a corporate media merger. This isn't just about a TV show; it's a chilling example of corporate power kowtowing to a wannabe autocrat at the expense of free speech. I had the pleasure of being on The Colbert Report back in 2014, a simpler time, perhaps. His wit was just as sharp then, and it's a voice we need now more than ever.

I'm incredibly honored to be recognized with the Peter Benchley Ocean Award among such dedicated leaders in marine conservation. Thank you to the Benchley family and the Monterey Bay Aquarium for this meaningful event. Receiving this award at a time when our oceans are under direct threat from the Trump administration only strengthens my resolve. Their push to reinstate offshore drilling along the California coast is an environmental and economic disaster in the making. This is a moment that demands leadership. As the next Chair of the Natural Resources Committee, I am committed to using every tool at our disposal to block these disastrous policies and protect our marine life for future generations. The fight for our oceans continues, and I'm proud to be on the front lines.

So let me get this straight: Chevron can afford to spend $500K to elect Xavier Becerra, but can’t afford to lower gas prices?

“The capital of the United States of America should not feel like East Berlin in the 1950s,” Rep. Jared Huffman told NOTUS’ Democrats expressed outrage at Trump’s immigrant checkpoint in D.C. notus.org/congress/democ…

"Two governments, one shared lesson: protecting the ocean is an investment" California congressman Jared Huffman and President of the Regional Government of the Azores Jose Manuel Bolieiro, both 2026 @benchleyawards winners speak out! reuters.com/sustainability…

Amid a climate and pollution crisis, it would be an incredibly devastating precedent-setting outcome if an oil company is able to buy this election in the largest Democratic state in America.

Donald Trump knows his time is running out. We see it in his desperate attempts to gerrymander and rig the system to mitigate Republican losses. But no amount of political maneuvering can hide their disastrous record. The power to hold them accountable is in our hands, and it all starts here. Our election on June 2nd is the first critical step in taking back our country. Your vote is essential. Please, make your voice heard on June 2nd, and let's continue the momentum all the way to November 3rd. Together, we can make "Lame Duck Donald" a reality starting November 4th. 🦆

Not the sharpest tool in the shed

More naked corruption from Trump! Giving himself a free pass for tax fraud, saving himself hundreds of millions at YOUR expense. We must fight this, and Congress must wake up and confront these constant self-enrichment scams! nytimes.com/2026/05/19/us/…

I’m proud to support Melanie Bagby for Sonoma County Supervisor! As the only Democrat in this race, she’s a proven leader and a fierce advocate for our environment. From the Smart Train to Cloverdale to delivering for her constituents, Melanie gets it done. Let's rally behind her! This election is crucial; make a plan to vote before June 2nd!

Why did Trump just drop his $10B lawsuit vs. the US? Because it was frivolous and the judge was about to dismiss it -so he struck a fake "settlement" with himself to create a $1.8B slush fund for his insurrectionist thugs. We'll fight that too, as the naked fraud that it is. #section-130294599" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nytimes.com/live/2026/05/1…

Awesome weekend in Humboldt County - my favorite drive through the redwoods; meetings with local hospital leaders in Garberville and the Bear River Tribe in Loleta; then I was honored to speak at the Humboldt Dems annual "Chicken by the Sea" gala, followed by a packed house of over 140 supporters at my Humboldt Hootenanny. Joining the local band Moonstone Ramblers for a few tunes was great fun! Such a positive energy and growing momentum as the June 2nd primary election draws near!

I’m honored to have the support of the @ctphealthcare. In Congress, I have been fighting tirelessly to better our faltering healthcare system. From leading a bipartisan bill to increase funding for rural hospitals to combating the dramatic cuts to Medicaid and Medicare from Trump‘s Big Ugly Bill. I have been and will always be advocating for the health and well-being of all our communities.

Top Dem on House Nat Resources Committee sounds alarm on Trump’s triumphal Arch project where work apparently is already underway. Rep. Jared Huffman of California vows to do all he can to block it.

This weekend, Trump is trying to rededicate America as a "Christian Nation". How about we rededicate ourselves back to reality?  250 years ago, our founders created America to be free from religion. And my colleagues in the Freethought Caucus have the receipts.

Some brilliant stuff here by my great friend @jamie_raskin

Last night, I was proud to jam with @RepHuffman and @RepCasten on stage at the @cong_record!   It was a great evening full of appreciation for the arts and recommitment to protecting its presence in our schools for our kids.
