Some of the President's appointees are so extreme, even he doesn’t think they can get confirmed. So Trump is doing an end run around the Senate & finding legally dubious ways to keep them in power. These bad actors may carry out the president’s partisan agenda, but they will not make us more safe.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 30(source)

Attacking the science does not change the science. But it does make us less prepared to confront the crisis. Just step outside and feel the heat. Their denial is dangerous and absurd.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 30(source)

Republicans just voted to confirm Emil Bove. Despite whistleblowers confirming he urged them to ignore court orders. Despite it being clear he lied to the Judiciary Committee. And despite the danger he poses to the rule of law. The corruption of the bench continues.

Donald Trump is trying to rig the 2026 election. And Republicans in Texas are rushing to help him. Democrats need to fight fire with fire. youtu.be/fR2PBZGgxTg?...

Two more tragic mass shootings this week. On Monday, several Californians were the victims of a shooting in Reno. And then, the additional tragedy in New York City. My heart goes out to the family and friends of the victims during this unimaginably difficult time.

Long before Project 2025 – there was a different playbook for turning a democracy into an autocracy. Let's talk about Viktor Orbán and Hungary. youtu.be/5bKz8vX2T44?...

Children are starving. Civilian deaths continue to mount. Hostages are still held. Today I led 43 of my Senate colleagues in demanding the State Department work urgently to end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza. This cannot continue.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)

What will come out next about Bove? That's precisely the problem with this disaster of a nominee. And why Senate Republicans are rushing through his nomination. Before more disqualifying information can come out.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)

“I think it would be incredibly dangerous for someone like that to have a lifetime appointment as a federal appellate judge." The latest whistleblower's words, not mine. I agree.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)

Now, ANOTHER whistleblower has provided "substantive, internal DOJ documents to the Inspector General" supporting Reuveni's damning allegations. www.cnn.com/2025/07/27/p...

Another whistleblower claims that top DOJ official suggested department could ignore court orders | CNN Politics

Another whistleblower has made claims to the Justice Department’s watchdog that Emil Bove — a top agency official who is now nominated for a judgeship — suggested others in the department could ignore...

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)

I pressed Bove on this at his nomination hearing. Here was his disqualifying answer.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)

Republicans discounted Reuveni's detailed complaint. They tried to cast doubt on it. Then Reuveni provided extensive emails, documents, and text messages to the committee that backed up what he said.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)

Then, former DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni blew the whistle, sharing that Bove told DOJ attorneys to consider telling the courts ‘f**k you’” if they ordered a halt to any of his deportation efforts. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

Justice Dept. Leader Suggested Violating Court Orders, Whistle-Blower Says

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)

A purely political – and decidedly partisan – pick. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Trump nominates Emil Bove, his DOJ enforcer and former criminal defense lawyer, to be a federal judge

In four months as a senior Justice Department official, Bove overhauled the department to suit Trump’s demands.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)

Bove, Trump’s former personal defense attorney, has been nominated for a position on the court of appeals. While at DOJ, he worked to reshape the department to carry out the president’s dirty work. To dismiss cases against his allies and take aim at his enemies list.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)

BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 28(source)

Donald Trump is trying to distract in every way he can. Republicans in Congress are paralyzed by the demands of their base. And Americans are seeing right through his Epstein Files coverup.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 27(source)

Fox News took Jeanine Pirro off air because "she's crazy" and "nuts." Their words, not mine. Now we're going to trust her with the lives and liberty of the people of DC? This is just absurd.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 25(source)

The Trump Administration's cuts to our laboratories will: -Undermine our economic competitiveness -Harm innovation -Weaken national security I'm joining @padilla.senate.gov and @lofgren.house.gov in urging the the Department of Energy and Office of Management and Budget to reverse these cuts.

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

Republicans just blocked an amendment to require the release of the Epstein files. Wonder why.
