Adam Schiff, U.S. Congressman representing California’s 30th district, has voiced concerns on social media regarding recent presidential actions and the administration’s use of force in the Caribbean.

On October 8, 2025, Schiff announced his intention to bring the issue before the Senate, stating, “Today, @SenTimKaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.” Later that day, he reiterated his criticism of presidential power in a separate post, writing, “Another day. Another presidential threat to jail two of his political opponents. What will it take for Republicans in Congress to speak out? While we still have a democracy left.”

That evening, Schiff posted again from the Senate floor, providing an update on legislative efforts: “I’m on the Senate floor forcing a vote on my War Powers Resolution with @SenTimKaine to put a stop to the administration’s strikes against ships in the Caribbean.”

Schiff has served in Congress since 2001 after previously serving in the California Senate. He is known for his legal background as a graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Law School. Born in Framingham, Massachusetts in 1960, Schiff now resides in Burbank.
