Adam Schiff, U.S. Congressman representing California’s 30th district since 2001, raised concerns on February 10, 2026, regarding recent federal actions and policy decisions affecting public health funding, Armenian Genocide recognition, and AI transparency.

On his official X account, Schiff criticized the Trump administration’s budget decisions: “$600,000,000 slashed from public health funding in four blue states, the vast majority targeting California. These cuts will hurt vital efforts to prevent the spread of disease. It’s dangerous, and it’s deliberate. The Trump administration’s targeting of blue states is” (posted February 10, 2026).

Later that day, Schiff addressed an incident involving the Vice President and a deleted post concerning Armenian Genocide recognition: “The Vice President’s deletion of this post only deepens the pain of the Armenian community which saw this White House retreat on Armenian Genocide recognition. Another capitulation to Turkey, in such a sloppy manner as to invite further scrutiny of this administration’s retreat” (posted February 10, 2026).

In another statement on evolving technology issues, Schiff discussed bipartisan legislative efforts with Senator John Curtis: “As our digital landscape rapidly evolves, it is important that we protect the work of those bring their talents to music, television and film. I’m working with @SenJohnCurtis to pass the CLEAR Act, which will guarantee transparency in the development of AI models to ensure that” (posted February 10, 2026).

Schiff has represented California’s 30th district in Congress for over two decades and previously served in the California Senate from 1996 to 2000. Born in Framingham, Massachusetts in 1960 and now residing in Burbank at age 62, Schiff holds degrees from Stanford University (BA) and Harvard University (JD).
