UN climate talks launch with few lawmakers planning to attend
The COP30 global climate talks are set to kick off in Brazil this week, with a limited United States presence — and only a fraction of the congressional lawmakers who have become staples at the conference. The ongoing government shutdown has stymied lawmakers’ plans to head to the talks in Belém, leaving just a handful of Democratic House members as the likely federal elected presence at the gathering. World leaders started making remarks last week ahead of the conference's formal launch. Se… Continue Reading

"It's complete BS": Dems go ballistic over Senate shutdown deal
Democratic lawmakers and liberal grassroots groups erupted Sunday night as moderate Senate Democrats moved to cut a deal with Republicans that would put an end to the government shutdown. Why it matters: The deal threatens to reopen the deep divisions that have been rolling the Democratic Party all year, and the widespread opposition to it among House Democrats could complicate its path to passage. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), in a statement Sunday night, suggested the bill fails to "decisively address the Republican health care crisis." He vowed to "fight" the bill if it reaches the House. "This 'deal' is a surrender that all congressional Democrats should reject out of hand," said Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin. "We cannot afford a divided and weak opposition party." ... For full article, click here.… Continue Reading

Rep. Jared Huffman: I Want to Thank Samuel Alito for Flying His Flags
As the only open non-believer in Congress, I want to thank Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. Not for repeatedly revealing himself as an unethical political partisan who poisons the credibility of the court—I’m disgusted with that, and agree with those who are demanding his recusal in cases involving former President Donald Trump. But Alito’s latest scandal—flying the “Appeal to Heaven” flag at his New Jersey beach house—makes me grateful, because it might help save our imperiled American demo… Continue Reading

Let California lead the way out of our global plastic pollution crisis
California’s 840 miles of coastline are a gateway to stunning underwater scenery that only a few ever see. Kelp forests, deep sea mountains and swirling ocean currents shelter diverse plant and animal species, from playful sea otters and turtles to migrating tuna and gray, humpback, minke and other whale species that call the expansive Pacific their home. Though they are mostly out of sight, these marine habitats play an essential role in keeping our air and water clean, soaking up excess carbo… Continue Reading

Congressman pushes for justice along seafood supply chain
As your congressman, I work on a wide range of issues that are important and well publicized. But some of the most impactful work I did in 2023 involves something that is unknown and unseen by most people, yet vitally important. Even many of those who have heard about Illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing and its associated human rights abuses could be forgiven for seeing it as a distant problem left to the mysterious realm of the high seas; one that doesn’t reach our shores and ce… Continue Reading
