White House Shrugs Off Shaky Economy as War Exceeds Trump’s Timeline

Prices are out-of-control because of Trump’s unnecessary war in Iran. Trump is bad for the American people and bad for the economy — and my Republican colleagues are doing nothing to stop him.

From housing to health care to groceries, the cost of living is way too high in America right now. I was glad to join @mikethompson.house.gov to chat with people in our communities about our efforts in Congress to lower costs, expand tax credits, and help hardworking families in California.

Republicans are wasting our time rebranding their One Big, Ugly Bill, which stripped health care from millions to give tax breaks to billionaires. No matter what name they slap on it, they can’t fool Americans. Republicans betrayed working families, and you deserve better.

A gold inscription reading "One Nation Under God"? That phrase came from Cold War propaganda, not our Founders.

Trump stamping it on his vanity arch tells you everything about what this project is: a Christian Nationalist monument, paid for w/ your tax dollars.

The Trump administration is gutting the U.S. Forest Service. Closing research stations and offices and relocating families to Utah with no plan.

And they're doing it heading into fire season after Trump's DOGE already fired workers.

You can count on me to fight this in D.C.

There is a madman in the White House. Trump threatened to commit war crimes in Iran and declared “a whole civilization will die tonight.”

This is insane and horrific.

What more will it take for Republicans to join us and put an end to this?

I toured the San Anselmo/Fairfax Children's Center and heard about all the big improvements on the way. I was able to get $800,000 in federal funding to help them modernize their facilities and support kids in our community, and it was good to see how that money will be put to good use!

Using DNA Technology, the Sheriff's Office Has Identified Human Remains in Two Decades-Old Different Missing Persons Cases

I'm so glad that the funding I helped secure is making a real difference and giving families the answers they've waited decades for. This week, Charles Marrs' loved ones finally got closure on his disappearance in 1993. My heart is with them, and I’m hopeful for all the others these funds will help.

Judge rules that White House ballroom construction ‘has to stop!’ | CNN Politics A federal judge on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump from moving ahead with any further work on a massive new $400 million ballroom on the former site of the White House East Wing.

While the American people deal with very real problems, Trump is hyperfixating on illegally building a gilded ballroom for himself. We’ve been pushing back on this in my Committee @naturalresources.bsky.social – and now the courts have even stepped in to stop his madness.

Life is more expensive than ever under Trump, and addressing the rising cost of housing is one of my top priorities.

My bill to help turn old Coast Guard housing facilities into more affordable housing just became law. I’m glad I got to tour them this week for an update on this great project!

For Farmworkers Day, I toured a housing project in West Marin backed by $2 million in community project funding I secured. I'm proud of the work we're doing here in our rural communities to ensure that our farmworkers have affordable places to live.

Trump’s ‘God Squad’ exempts Gulf oil drilling from Endangered Species Act requirements Trump administration officials on Tuesday exempted drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from complying with Endangered Species Act (ESA) requirements. The administration took the extraordinary step of co…

Trump is doing Big Oil’s bidding yet again – and this time he's calling it "national security." His minions voted to let oil and gas companies ignore protections for endangered species when they drill in the Gulf of Mexico.

And Gulf communities are going to pay the price for this corruption.

Ranking Member Huffman Blasts Trump Cabinet’s Illegal Gutting of Endangered Species Protections to Benefit Big Oil Donors | The House Committee on Natural Resources House Committee on Natural Resources - Democrats

@rephuffman.bsky.social: "The corrupt bargain between the Trump administration and the fossil fuel industry will not stand. My Democratic colleagues and I will fight this in court & we’ll have the support of every community in America that values public integrity and a healthy environment."

Trump started a war with Iran that is driving gas prices through the roof. Now his administration is using that crisis as a pretext to hand oil companies a blank check to destroy the Gulf.

And Gulf Coast communities and wildlife will pay for it.

Gulf Coast fishing families, shrimpers, tourism operators, and coastal communities that depend on a healthy ocean are now at the mercy of an industry with a track record of greed, catastrophic spills, and zero accountability.

Sea turtles, sperm whales, sharks, rays, and corals all lose their protections under this decision.

There are 50 Rice's whales left alive on Earth. They live nowhere else but the Gulf of Mexico. The admin’s own scientists said last year drilling would drive the species to extinction.

Today, Trump's cabinet removed every protection standing between the oil industry & these animals’ deaths.

He claims protecting endangered sea creatures in the Gulf is getting in the way of "national security." No administration, Republican or Democrat, has ever tried anything this sweeping and reckless.

This is happening because Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invoked a never-before-used loophole in the Endangered Species Act.

BREAKING: The Trump administration just voted to let Big Oil ignore every endangered species protection in the Gulf of Mexico.

In a single meeting, Trump's corrupt cabinet gave oil companies a free pass to kill endangered whales & sea turtles so they can drill without limits.

Marin congressman pushes bill to regulate e-bikes and e-motos A Marin County congressman is pressing a bill that would set consistent federal standards for e-bikes, following a rash of collisions in the Bay Area and other parts of the country.

E-bikes are affordable, convenient, and sustainable, but we need ways to keep kids and folks in our community safe when using them. My bill will help define federal e-bike standards and give local governments resources to enhance their safety programs.

ICE Agents at Some Airports Begin Checking IDs in Security Lines

ICE agents are now checking travelers' IDs at airports – a job they're not even remotely trained to do. This is a blatant government overreach that does nothing but intimidate people and distract from real priorities like funding our government and paying real TSA agents.

🚨 Breaking: House Natural Resources SHUT DOWN over Don Jr. Subpoena! 🚨

We know Trump and his family are lining their own pockets with corrupt government deals. But, when we tried to subpoena his Jr. to answer questions today, Republicans shut it down. ⬇️

Donald Trump Jr. bought into a company. Three months later, his dad's Pentagon handed them $620 million in taxpayer dollars. Democrats forced a vote to subpoena Don Jr. today to come clean about this shady deal.

But Republicans blocked it and even shut down the hearing to protect him.

Make It Home’s new furniture warehouse is going to help a lot of low-income families and underserved youth throughout our community. It was great to attend the grand opening and tour the space, and I'm glad I could get some federal funding to help finish this project.

As Gas Prices Spike, California Is Hit Hardest

Ever since Trump launched his reckless war in Iran, Americans have faced ridiculously high prices at the pump – and we're being hit the hardest in California. Your taxpayer dollars should go toward making your life more affordable, not wage a senseless war.

34 Former Military Members Were Put on Deportation Track in the Past Year

Service members risk their lives for this country and deserve dignity in return.

But Trump is deporting them in his rogue ICE campaign - and House Republicans are covering it up. This administration continues to hand out betrayal after betrayal.

Live updates: TSA wait times, travelers struggle amid airport chaos, talks to fund DHS | CNN Unpredictable wait times vary widely from airport to airport as TSA agents call out as DHS shutdown drags on

We have Trump and House Republicans to thank for all the airport chaos right now. Instead of working with Democrats to fund airport security and disaster aid, they're using American travelers as political pawns to keep ICE unchecked and pass their insane bill to take away your right to vote.

Health care costs are skyrocketing due to Republicans' cuts in the Big, Ugly Law. Meanwhile, Trump’s war of choice in Iran is costing American taxpayers at least $1 billion per day. Our priority should be making life better for Americans, not fighting forever wars abroad.
