1. Call it what you will, detailed military strike plans were discussed. 2. If such plans were not classified, that is a separate security failure. 3. If that guidance allows such use of a commercial app, that is yet another serious national security failure.

Schools, families, our most vulnerable students — no one is spared from the Trump Administration’s illegal actions attacking the Department of Education. I am leading the Senate resolution to protect our students from these destructive cuts to their education.

Jeopardizing our national security. Putting the lives of pilots and the success of operations at risk — via text chat. The Trump Administration’s arrogance is only exceeded by its dangerous incompetence.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govMar 24(source)
How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security? We need answers. Right now.

The cleanup and recovery from the fires will be a test of Democratic governance. Of whether we can get things done quickly, and with a sense of urgency. It is a test we darned well better pass.

“I take him at his word,” Trump’s envoy says of Putin. Was there ever a more dangerously naive statement?

Witkoff on Ukraine: "There's a view within the country of Russia that these are Russian territories, that there are referendums within these territories that justify these actions ... I just don't see that [Putin] wants to take all of Europe ... I take him as his word."

They’re not even hiding it: By cutting phone lines and closing offices, Republican billionaires are setting up Social Security for failure. And when your check doesn’t show up, there will be no one to call. This is their plan to end Social Security.

Touring debris cleanup efforts in Altadena today. Great progress by the Army Corps of Engineers here on the ground. Ahead of schedule and determined to stay that way. Still so much more to do.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govMar 20(source)
Conditioning housing and homelessness funding based on the administration’s unrelated and regressive policy positions is cruel and unwise. We must not stand for it.

I'm fighting every day to protect Medicaid. But it's going to take all of us. Call your members of Congress. Share your stories. Tell your friends to do the same. We have to stop this GOP attack on our healthcare.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govMar 18(source)
One in three Californians relies on Medicaid. But at this very moment, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are planning to wipe it out — and use the proceeds for a tax cut. I will fight with everything I have, every single day, to stop them.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govMar 18(source)
Finally, the Trump Administration takes an action to reduce costs! Alas, it’s on polluters. Cheaper to pollute your air and cheaper to pollute your water. Meanwhile, your health care costs are certain to go ⬆️

Breaking News: The EPA plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists.

It's hard to find a more distinct portrait of California's beauty than the Presidio’s towering trees and beautiful trails in the shadow of the Golden Gate. Speaker Pelosi is right. This is something we will fight for.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govMar 17(source)
Trump today suggested it was dangerous for judges to issue court orders against his illegal firing of federal workers. But it will be far more dangerous – for our country and our democracy – for him to ignore them.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govMar 17(source)
The Presidio is a jewel of San Francisco and one of California's great treasures. We must do everything to protect and preserve it – so it can be enjoyed for generations to come.
