Californians have paid more than $1,000 in Trump Taxes this year thanks to the President’s tariffs — making housing, groceries, and everyday goods more expensive. And with inflation still driving up prices, the cost of living under Donald Trump could climb even higher in 2026.

Dozens of energy projects cancelled in California. Now five more on the East Coast. All because Donald Trump wants to kill cheap, renewable energy. Want to know who will pay the price for Trump's job killing cancellations? Check your utility bill next year and you will see.

Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all those celebrating today. May this holiday season inspire us all to find peace and comfort in the moments shared with our loved ones.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govDec 24(source)

This is yet another chilling example of how far the Trump administration will go in service of his billionaire enablers. Hate speech and harm to kids online have exploded, and now the administration is targeting those working to combat it. Their greed knows no bounds.

Nearly one year ago, Southern California’s communities were tested by devastating fires. This holiday season gives us a chance to show our resilience — rising from the ashes to renew the traditions we hold dear like the world-famous Christmas Tree Lane in Altadena.

After Eaton fire, Altadena's Christmas Tree Lane provides an emotional return to normalcy

Tears were always near the surface at the 105th anniversary of the beloved tree lighting festival, a symbol of community resilience.

The overwhelming majority of the American people and even the Roberts Court agree: this unlawful weaponization of our National Guard must end. It is long past time for our servicemembers to return to their homes and stop being deployed against their own communities. www.npr.org/2025/12/23/n...

Trump in 2024: I "was never on Epstein’s Plane". Trump DOJ 5 years ago: "Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)". Stop breaking the the law. Release ALL the Files.

"Of the 346 donors identified by the Times, at least 197 have benefited, or are in industries that have benefited, from policies or actions of Mr. Trump or his administration." This is corruption in plain sight. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Husband. Father. U.S. Senator for California. Fighting for an economy that works for everyone and for our democracy.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govDec 22(source)

And large corporations with media holdings have decided to self-censor to appease a wannabe dictator. This is how democracies die.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govDec 22(source)

For the first time in a generation, we have censorship of the press. Not because the government prohibits publication of offending material. But because the administration coerces and dangles corrupt incentives like help with billion-dollar mergers. (More…)

Nothing quite like a festive concert put on by the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus to get you in the holiday spirit! Thanks for the warm welcome and a beautiful show.

The vast majority of people want to see this ban passed — and I'm one of them. Let's get this done.⁩

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govDec 22(source)

This week, a bill to stop Trump from launching strikes against Venezuela fell 2 votes short in the House. Last month, our similar effort in the Senate came up 2 votes short. 4 more Republicans. That's all we need to stop this administration from potentially dragging America into war.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govDec 21(source)

Mayor Todd Gloria is a fighter and a great champion for the residents of the City of San Diego. I'm pleased to work with him on issues that really matter to our neighbors in Southern California.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govDec 21(source)

Another sycophant. Another guardrail taken down. The FCC no longer makes even a pretense of independence. They exist to do the president’s bidding, even when it involves censorship. www.axios.com/2025/12/17/b...

FCC chair suggests agency isn't independent, word cut from mission statement

The statement speaks to a broader trend of regulatory agencies losing power to the executive branch during the Trump era.

The admin has created a crisis at USFWS — jeopardizing our ability to protect endangered species across our nation. As the top Dem on the Fisheries, Water, and Wildlife Subcommittee, I’m urging immediate action to address this dire staffing shortfall for the sake of our public lands and wildlife.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govDec 20(source)

These brave Californians testified on Capitol Hill and shared their stories about the abuse they experienced at the hands of federal immigration officials. That took courage. To stop these abuses, it will take action.

POV: You put Donald Trump’s personal lawyers in charge of vetting the #EpsteinFiles.⁩

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govDec 20(source)

Pam Bondi should come before the Judiciary Committee, under oath, and explain this willful violation of the law. The Trump Justice Department has had months to keep their promise to release all of the Epstein Files. Epstein's survivors and the American people need answers now.
