Adam Schiff, U.S. Congressman representing California’s 30th district since 2001, posted a series of statements on January 8, 2026, regarding recent Senate actions and ongoing political debates.
In a post at 19:21 UTC, Schiff announced the Senate’s advancement of a resolution concerning military action in Venezuela: “BREAKING: The Senate just advanced the resolution that @SenTimKaine, @SenRandPaul, @SenSchumer and I introduced to block further unauthorized military action in Venezuela.
Finally, the Senate is exercising its constitutional power over the authorization of the use of force”.
Later that evening at 20:33 UTC, Schiff criticized shifting narratives around U.S. policy toward Venezuela and raised concerns about both Venezuelan and domestic governance: “First, they said it was about stopping illegal drugs.
Now, they say it is about starting oil deliveries to the U.S.
In order to create a presidential slush fund.
Same corrupt regime in Venezuela.
And at home.”
At 23:00 UTC on the same day, Schiff addressed health care policy and urged bipartisan support for extending tax credits under the Affordable Care Act (ACA): “There are no more excuses:
The Senate must take up and pass this clean three-year extension of ACA health care tax credits.
Americans’ monthly health care premiums have already spiked.
Now is the time for Senate Republicans to join us, or to explain to the American people why”.
Schiff has served in Congress since replacing James E. Rogan in 2001 after previously serving in the California State 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).
