The world is watching Donald Trump abandon Ukraine and our European allies to curry favor with the Kremlin. All of us — Democrats, Republicans, elected officials and ordinary citizens — must push back with every tool we have if we are to save our own democracy and others.

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

Sen. Padilla and I will be supporting Governor Newsom’s request for federal aid to recover and rebuild from the Eaton and Palisades fires. To deny it – or place conditions on it – would be to abandon people in their time of most need. People need help. We must act urgently.

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

Donald Trump just fired a well-respected General who was Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And his Administration announced they’re replacing other officers, too. The purge of people of stature and independence goes on.

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

It's been a crazy week – and Donald Trump is trying to silence journalists who stand up to him. It’s working. Here's the most important thing you missed: youtu.be/4Ch2t4ffc0o?...

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

Translation: That’s a nice country you’ve got there. Would be a shame if something happened to it.

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

Todd Blanche, Trump’s criminal defense lawyer, promised he would follow the advice of career ethics officials at the Department of Justice. Then they fired the career ethics officials. Piece by piece they are destroying the Justice Dept. And any hope of justice along with it.

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

Elon and other unvetted Trump enablers shouldn't have access to the entire nation's personal and financial data. Can my Republican colleagues acknowledge that? We're forcing a vote to block that access. Let's see where they land.

Ossoff's Office@ossoff.senate.govFeb 21(source)

Senate Republicans just *BLOCKED* Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to protect children’s and maternal health care through Medicaid.

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

Russia invaded Ukraine. This is Putin’s war. If Trump won’t say it, the Senate damn well should. And we will have the chance tonight.

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

Thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, firefighters who just finished weeks of around-the-clock shifts fighting dangerous fires were given a note from their Commander in Chief: "Please quit." That’s a hell of a way to say thank you.

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

I’m forcing the Senate to vote on an amendment to reverse Trump’s layoffs of thousands of critical wildland firefighters. My colleagues claim to support our first responders. Time for them to prove it.

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

For all my colleagues who want to be on Donald Trump's 'good side' - just remember: There's more room under the Trump Bus than on it.

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

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

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

Donald Trump firing ~7000 IRS workers will mean three things: 1) More tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations 2) More debt, since IRS agents collect a lot more than they cost 3) Fewer ways to go after big tax cheats A great day to be a billionaire in America.

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

This morning, my colleagues and I stood in front of FBI headquarters to make it clear to everyone who wants an FBI focused on violent crime and not on political retribution: Kash Patel would be a disaster as FBI Director.

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

Kash Patel can't do the job of FBI Director. He's patently unqualified. Those who vote for his confirmation will be accountable for the destruction he does to the nation's top law enforcement agency and to the rule of law.

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

Governing is about choices. And we have a big choice ahead of us. We can choose to invest in our families. Our workers. Our future. Or we can choose to give another few trillion to those who need it least.

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

Eve and I are out celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary! And I’m wearing the same shirt I wore on our first date — it’s a bit worn around the edges but then so am I. But three decades later, Adam and Eve are still going strong!

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

We must ensure Ukraine receives the support and assistance it needs to defend itself against Russia’s unprovoked war, not leave this country to fend for itself. What ally will trust the United States now that our president has so badly betrayed a fellow democracy?

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

In one week, President Trump’s glaring weakness has done more damage to 80 years of bipartisan U.S. global leadership than all our adversaries could do, combined.
