Adam Schiff, U.S. Congressman representing California’s 30th district since 2001, shared several updates on January 16, 2026, through his Twitter account. The posts covered topics ranging from foreign policy commentary to domestic funding decisions and infrastructure news.
On January 16, Schiff questioned former President Donald Trump’s reported interest in Greenland, writing: “Why doesn’t anyone tell Donald Trump that invading Greenland is a harebrained idea? The simple answer: He has surrounded himself with cowards and sycophants.”
Later that day, he addressed the reversal of a federal funding decision: “$2 billion in grants to help stem opioid addiction and address mental health issues cancelled, then swiftly reinstated. Why the flip flop? Because of public outcry. Keep speaking out. Your voice matters.”
In a third post on January 16, Schiff highlighted infrastructure developments in California: “Great news for Californians and anyone looking to cruise along one of our country’s most scenic drives: Highway 1 is fully open!”
Adam Schiff has served as a member of Congress since replacing James E. Rogan in 2001 and previously served in the California Senate from 1996 to 2000. Born in Framingham, Massachusetts in 1960 and currently residing in Burbank at age 62, Schiff holds degrees from Stanford University (BA) and Harvard University (JD).
