Adam Schiff, who has represented California’s 30th district in the U.S. Congress since 2001, expressed concerns about Medicaid and market instability in a series of tweets on April 9, 2025. Schiff critiqued Republican strategies and allegations of insider trading within the current administration.
On April 9, 2025, Schiff posted on social media condemning the potential implications of a Republican-led initiative concerning Medicaid. “The Republican plan to destroy Medicaid will hurt you and your family – no matter how you get your healthcare.”
Later that day, Schiff addressed fluctuations in the stock market allegedly caused by inconsistent tariff policies led by Donald Trump. At 19:01 UTC, he posted, “Trump is creating giant market fluctuations with his on-again, off-again tariffs. These constant gyrations in policy provide dangerous opportunities for insider trading. Who in the administration knew about Trump’s latest tariff flip flop ahead of time? Did anyone buy or sell.”
Continuing his critique of the market instability, at 23:38 UTC, Schiff raised concerns about potential insider trading by those close to Trump. He inquired, “Is Donald Trump’s inner circle illegally profiting off of these huge swings in the stock market by insider trading? Congress must find out.”
