Adam Schiff, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 30th district, recently shared several statements on social media addressing current events and his legislative priorities. Schiff has been serving in Congress since 2001 after succeeding James E. Rogan and previously served in the California Senate from 1996 to 2000.

On December 10, 2024, Schiff commented on an emergency situation at Pepperdine University, urging residents of Malibu to remain vigilant and follow evacuation notices from local authorities. He stated: "Terrifying scenes at Pepperdine University this morning. Malibu — stay safe, stay vigilant, and make sure you heed any and all evacuation notices from local authorities."

The following day, December 11, 2024, Schiff addressed political issues concerning former President Donald Trump. He remarked on Trump's approach to crime and accountability with the statement: "Voters elected Trump to bring down crime – not cover up his own. But in trying to intimidate anyone who is willing to hold him accountable or to do legitimate oversight, that’s precisely what he’s trying to do."

Later that same day, Schiff expressed gratitude for his role as a representative of California while outlining his key legislative priorities. He emphasized the importance of addressing housing costs, childcare quality, disaster relief funding, and preventing a national debt default by stating: "I’m so grateful for the opportunity to represent the great state of California. Lowering housing costs, expanding quality childcare, securing disaster relief, and avoiding a default on our debt are the urgent priorities. It can’t wait, so let’s get to work."
