Adam Schiff, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 30th district, recently shared his thoughts on various pressing issues through social media posts. The tweets address concerns about legal integrity, transnational repression, and funding priorities in the United States.

On February 9, 2025, Schiff expressed his views on the importance of adhering to court decisions regardless of personal opinions. He stated, "JD, we both went to law school. But we don’t have to be lawyers to know that ignoring court decisions we don’t like puts us on a dangerous path to lawlessness. We just have to swear an oath the constitution. And mean it."

The following day, February 10, 2025, Schiff addressed global political challenges by highlighting the increase in transnational repression. He emphasized the role of democracy in countering such trends and thanked Freedom House for their efforts in documenting these issues. In his words: "Transnational repression is on the rise around the globe. As a democracy – we must do everything we can to push back. To secure our collective values of freedom and justice against those who would seek to tear them down."

Later that same day, Schiff criticized financial decisions involving tax cuts and funding allocations under certain prominent figures' influence: "Need more $ for tax cuts for billionaires? Cut funding for cancer research. Need a few extra bucks for a corporate cash grab? Cut Special Education. Donald Trump and Elon Musk's last few weeks aren't hard to understand. Just follow the money."
