Rep. Jared Hoffman's 'No Prophets' is a stark warning about the insidious rise of Christian nationalism in America.

Today, following a survey of our members, the Congressional Progressive Caucus voted to adopt an official position to oppose the Senate's Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) as drafted, unless significant improvements are made. (1/x)

NEW: The Congressional Progressive Caucus is officially opposing BAAJA "unless significant improvements are made"

Incoming House Natural Resources Cmte chair Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) formally notifies 36 Trump Admin agency heads to "preserve documents, communications, and other records tied to the Committee’s investigations of the Trump administration"
Formal investigations are coming...
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
We cannot support the permitting bill (BAAJA) in its current form. We urge Congress: don’t rush this. Work collaboratively with states, Tribes, and the administration to safeguard wildlife, public lands, and community voices. 🏞️ 🦅
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
Is this who we should be trying to cut energy deals with right now?
Or should we work with a democratic Congress to get the best possible deal for the American people.
If we learned anything last Tuesday it’s this: give the people what they want. And that’s not this deal.
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
This is the same guy who's illegally blocking billions in energy funding for blue states like mine.
This once again proves Trump is a bad faith negotiator, and we'd be fools to hand him more power.
Americans want Democrats to fight for them. We must fight for a better deal.
Dem Senators: How gullible are you? Trump is about to punk you just like he did with the "Russia sanctions bill" where you gave him new tariff authority. Please wake up.
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
Trump on BAAJA: "The permitting bill is a great bill…We are behind it 100%."
Reporter: "And you're going to approve wind turbines in the future?"
Trump: "No, I will not approve wind turbines."
Reporter: "That's part of this deal."
Trump: "I know, but I won't approve it."
FOLKS: HE'S TELLING YOU WHAT I'VE BEEN WARNING ABOUT FOR WEEKS. BAAJA IS NOT AN END TO HIS WAR ON CLEAN ENERGY - IT'S A COUP FOR HIS FOSSIL FUEL AGENDA, AND A HEAD FAKE FOR DEMS GULLIBLE ENOUGH TO BELIEVE HE WILL SOMEHOW START PERMITTING RENEWABLES. WAKE UP!
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
Thanks to @RepHuffman for standing with Tribal Nations and opposing BAAJA. Permitting reform should honor Tribal sovereignty, not undermine it
The OG Climate Guy, Al Gore, has now weighed in. He agrees with me that as drafted, BAAJA does far more harm than good. In two months, Dems can use the awesome power voters just handed us to shape a responsible permitting reform deal, rather than preemptively surrendering to this - a MAGA wish list that Trump is already celebrating as a coup for fossil fuel dominance, pipelines and data centers. Some of his BAAJA exuberance, btw, is surely because the bill makes it harder to challenge his vanity projects like the grotesque Arch de Trump. The American people just loudly and clearly repudiated ALL of this. Let's honor their vote and use our hard-won power to produce a good permitting deal in the coming Democratic Congress.
I have tremendous respect for the two Democratic Senators who have negotiated the permitting bill with two of their Republican colleagues — a bill that Congress is considering for passage during the lame duck session. I sincerely and respectfully urge the Democratic sponsors of the bill to reconsider their decision to move forward with this legislation. There’s no doubt that we need to reform the way that clean energy projects are reviewed and permitted. But as it currently stands, the bill would be an extremely serious mistake, in my opinion, and would do far more harm than good. Given how this Administration has run roughshod over the environmental laws and protections that are currently in place, now is not the time to give the Trump administration freer rein to double down on fossil fuels — which is what President Trump would surely do. And after last week’s historic election, we will have a new Congress in January that can strike a far better balance.
Rep. Jared Huffman retweeted
There is no mandate in #BAAJA that data centers connect to the grid, and Big Tech knows it.
People, please wake up!
Note to Dem Senators being jammed to support this flawed bill: many of the worst parts of BAAJA are there because of ONE PERSON. It's not Trump, or Steven Miller. It's Mike Lee who temporarily wields tremendous power. Voters just took his power away. Don't give it back to him. Let our coming Dem Majority finish the job here. We'll get a much less toxic deal - and maybe even a very good deal.

NEW: @JaredHuffman tells me of BAAJA changes : “a mix of good, bad, & unknown. I welcome any improvements, but they also prove my main point: allowing some time, input, & process makes bills better, so champions of this bill should stop being so hostile to basic public process”
Love this, but not quite "no help." I was proud to have supported and believed in Fred from the jump. He's going to be a great member of Congress!
With no help - and he’s not done yet theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
