U.S. Congressman Adam Schiff, representing California's 30th District, voiced his concerns over nominations and governmental actions through a series of tweets posted on April 1, 2025. Schiff has consistently served in the U.S. Congress since 2001, having replaced James E. Rogan. With a background in law, Schiff often addresses legal and procedural matters in his political commentary.

In a tweet, Schiff announced his decision to impose “a hold on President Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney in DC.” As of April 1, 2025, Schiff described the nominee, Ed Martin, as “a one-man wrecking ball,” citing Martin’s actions such as “threatening opponents, firing public servants, and using his office to chill free speech.” He emphasized the necessity to block Martin's nomination.

Additionally, Schiff shared a link to a full statement regarding his stance on the nomination, encouraging readers to “Read [his] full statement.” This directive was issued in a tweet posted moments after his initial announcement. The statement is available here.

In another tweet on the same day, Schiff criticized the use of certain communication platforms for sensitive military information. He expressed concern over what he described as “Signal for classified attack plans against Houthi rebels,” and criticized the use of Gmail for sharing “sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict.” Describing this approach as “carelessness” that jeopardizes safety, Schiff expressed his alarm over the matter.
