House Democrats support, and will deliver, responsible permitting reform. But as Speaker-elect Jeffries said today, and as some of us have said for weeks, we must have a chance to fix the most glaring flaws in BAAJA.

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
.@RepHuffman (D-CA) opposes President Trump's proposed arch at planning meeting: "Donald Trump is a President, not a king. Our most revered Presidents earned their place of honor, they didn't try to bestow it on themselves with gaudy tributes."

“The Great Gatsby party is over,” Rep. Jared Huffman says of Trump's glitzy D.C. construction agenda.
His arch will likely be approved by NCPC today. But the courts -- and Democrats -- are circling too: nytimes.com/2026/11/05/us/po…

BRAVO 🔥: “We’re a nation of laws, not kings or kangaroo commissions.”
Rep. Jared Huffman said that to the commission’s face at the hearing on Trump’s arch.
Watch at 0:36 when he reminds them who they pledged allegiance to, then tells them to reject the damn thing.
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
.@MarkPaoletta and @JaredHuffman engage in long back and forth on the legality of the Arch at hearing after Paoletta argues the project was authorized by Congress more than 100 years ago: Huffman: "Look, if you want to make that argument to a federal court, go for it. You're going to lose. You're going to lose... Why don't you take your shot with Judge Chutkin on this one? Take your shot. I feel pretty good about where that's going to come down"
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
This is important for those of you that want to make sure Donald Trump doesn’t have unlimited power to build data centers.
The first chance to show that the days of Trump's "supplicant Senate" are over is Nov. 9th. Dems can demand a hearing and amendments to improve the deeply flawed BAAJA bill before it moves forward. Or, they can cave to Trump and agree to jam through his 400-page MAGA wish list - the most sweeping environmental/energy bill in decades - without a single hearing. If that happens after last night's Blue Tsunami, the word "supplicant" would be far too kind.

I'm an atheist and I'm thrilled that James Talarico won because he's a "love thy neighbor" Christian not a "storm the Capitol" Christian and because he's always defended the separation of church and state.
So glad that the Blue Tsunami and a lot of hard work swept @FPWellman into the 120th Congress! See you in Washington Fred!

“Most Democrats, and certainly the millions of them who made this blue wave happen last night, would think it’s deeply idiotic to fold your hand now without giving us a chance to use our power and get a better deal,” @JaredHuffman told me

For those stuck in the toxic rightwing echo chamber of Twitter, you should check out the independent, science-based analysis over on Bluesky showing BAAJA increases both GHGs and premature deaths from air pollution.
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
If you prefer your analyses to be independent, Purdue scientist Kevin Kircher projects a huge increase in air pollution. Which, given the bill is backed by the fossil-fuel industry, only makes sense. kevinjkircher.com/baaja/
This clown was "defrocked" by the Vatican in 2022 for his non-stop conspiracism and violent incitement. In 2020, he called for civil war if Biden won and fanned the flames of the J6 insurrection. Yet he remains a darling of MAGA Christian nationalists. Someone really should write a book about the threat MAGA Christian nationalism poses to our democracy and security!
