Adam Schiff, U.S. Congressman representing California’s 30th district, posted a series of statements on his social media account on October 9, 2025, addressing legislative actions and recent events affecting Americans.

This arrest will not bring back homes, or loved ones, but bringing an alleged perpetrator to justice is nonetheless an”.
Schiff also commented on ongoing government operations during a shutdown: “Millions of Americans are facing higher costs and working without pay because Donald Trump refuses to work with Democrats to reopen the government. But not to worry, essential work goes on — like construction of the President’s $200 million ballroom. Priorities.”
