Adam Schiff
California Senator. Father, husband, former prosecutor, triathlete, and sometimes comic.
- Donald Trump is trying to destroy PBS, which is vital to keeping Americans informed and engaged. Just take it from Toby Ziegler:
- Colorado, you’re going to get the chance to send this guy back to the Senate. A banjo-playing brewer. A champion for our public lands. My friend, @hickenlooper.bsky.social.
- TLDR – the President is whining again. He’s focused on his personal, political grudges. Not on you. Not on fixing the economy. And he apparently doesn’t like me very much.
- Americans have no idea if they're going to be able to retire, or have healthcare, or have a democracy. Thankfully, the White House is laser-focused on what matters most:
- We just witnessed the full Trump cycle. 1) Make horrible policy decision. 2) Create lot of pain. 3) Falsely claim problem is solved. 4) Reverse course. 5) Leave things worse than before. Rinse. Repeat.
- The President of the United States seems oddly focused on me. Shouldn't he be focused on the economy he's crashing?
- Checking back on this…
- $5 trillion in retirement accounts and investments erased and Donald Trump is... golfing. But those billionaire tax cuts? The Senate is working nights and weekends to make that happen for him. Gotta have priorities.
- Tariffs like these raise prices and don't work. But if you skipped class the day we all learned that – here's a refresher:
- Wisconsin – tomorrow you get to decide control of your State Supreme Court. Elon Musk has spent millions trying to buy the race. But no amount of $$ can stop your voice and your vote. Make a plan, and get out to support @crawfordforwi.bsky.social
- No, Elon. I get nothing from USAID. My financial disclosure is public. But how about you, pal? How many billions have you made in government contracts? And when are you going to make your finances public? Well, how about it?
- I think I figured out who Mike Waltz really intended to include in the chat...
- Elon Musk and Donald Trump want to go after Social Security and Medicare. Don’t just take my word for it. Here’s Elon happily telling a host: “That’s the big one to eliminate.” Easy to say when you’re the world’s richest man. Not so easy when you’re a senior depending on both.
- Donald Trump blames his shameful betrayal of Ukraine and sycophancy towards Putin on … me. Wrong, Donald. You have only yourself to blame for kowtowing to the Kremlin.
- The Trump Administration’s answer to high egg prices is to point out that the chicken should have come first?
- "No." - The Constitution
- Trump’s 2017 billionaire tax cuts expire this year. Republicans need to find $4 trillion (yes, with a T) to maintain these massive breaks for the ultra-wealthy. How do they plan to pay for it? By going after Medicaid, USAID, and essential public services. I won't stand for it.
- What Trump is doing with USAID is illegal. And the seizure of citizens’ private data by an unelected billionaire is a scandalous breach. These actions must be stopped. Until they are, I’m supporting Sen. Schatz's hold on all of Trump’s State Department nominees. (Thread 🧵)
- The new administration is creating chaos and thriving on it. And the wealthy are cashing in. Billionaires in prominent positions while the President's executive orders kick families to the curb. We need to fight back. And fight back hard.
- The 15+ million Californians on MediCal deserve a better answer than “I’ll check back on that.”
- LA County — it’s critical to subscribe to emergency alerts and heed any and all evacuation warnings from local officials. Get the latest information on the #PalisadesFire and #EatonFire ⤵️ lacounty.gov/emergency/
- As the Senate heads to votes today — we certainly have no shortage of snow. Throwback to… a few years ago. My brother and me taking advantage of some fresh powder.
- Every year, when the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, I say “rabbit, rabbit” to wish good luck for the coming year. Rabbit rabbit!
- The former president likes to call me “pencil neck.” But as of two weeks ago, my response is: “that’s Senator pencil neck to you.” But whatever you call me – you can now hear from me firsthand here on Bluesky. Looking forward to the conversation!
