On May 12, 2025, Adam Schiff highlighted the impact of clean air standards in California by sharing an image from 1955. He stated: “Look at this. This is what California looked like in 1955. Clean air standards have brought us blue skies and helped keep our communities healthy. Republicans are trying to roll all of that back.”
Later that day, Schiff criticized the president’s attitude towards using Air Force One. He tweeted: “The president considers it a great imposition to ride on Air Force One. Poor thing. It lacks the amenities of an ‘air palace.’ He says he’d be ‘stupid’ to turn it down, which is how he views abiding by the Constitution.”
In another post on the same day, Schiff expressed relief over the return of a hostage named Edan. He emphasized urgency for others still held captive by stating: “Thrilled that Edan is finally coming home. Every single hostage must be released and returned to their families. Now.”
