In another post that evening, Schiff highlighted his stance on healthcare and government operations: “In the wealthiest country in the world, it shouldn’t be too much to ask to demand affordable health care and a functioning government. Now more than ever, Democrats should stand firm in demanding both. https://t.co/LAQL30IFAF” (November 5, 2025).
