It’s a mistake to approve oil drilling in Alaska’s Willow Project. It does nothing to move the U.S. toward permanent and sustainable energy independence, and risks profound harm to the environment. We must invest in renewables, not worsen our dependence on oil. — PolitiTweet.org

My bill would clawback ill-gotten gains by allowing Treasury to recoup bonuses, stock profits, and other compensation from execs at a failed bank. They shouldn’t reap a financial windfall from mismanagement or greed. There is more to be done. But we start with accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I’m drafting a bill to hold execs at failed banks accountable. When banks fail, it’s working people who suffer the consequences. Missed paychecks and economic uncertainty. After 2008, we went for exec bonuses and compensation. We should do so again. This time we must succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Fifteen million Californians under flood watch, and thousands being evacuated. After months of extreme weather, our state is still at risk. The President has declared a national emergency, and we’ll continue to fight for every resource so we can recover and rebuild. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

In 2018 under Trump, I opposed Wall Street’s effort to loosen regulation over banks like Silicon Valley Bank. But it passed, and now ordinary workers and families may pay a very heavy price. This is an oversight failure — in addition to a failure by the bank’s management. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Treasury Department needs to take all appropriate steps to protect ordinary workers and their paychecks, and to prevent a run on other banks. Big investors, CEOs and bank executives are one thing — they can take a loss — but regular workers across California shouldn’t suffer. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

What happened this week at Silicon Valley Bank is deeply troubling. Workers across California depend on the bank for their paychecks. And this bank fuels the start up economy. The FDIC must provide clarity quickly, and the bank’s management and finances must be investigated. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

As California continues to experience historically extreme weather, thousands face rising floodwaters and power outages. President Biden’s emergency declaration and federal aid is critical to our recovery efforts. We will continue to repair and rebuild in the months to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Families, farmers, and businesses. Millions rely on clean water every day. And now the GOP is trying to roll back protections that keep water safe and pollution free. It’s clear: Republicans in Congress only care about pocketing profits from polluters — not the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what the President’s budget represents: Lowering costs for child care. Protecting Medicare and Social Security. Making corporations pay their fair share. And ensuring working families don’t pay too much. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

My thoughts are with the three LAPD officers shot last night and with the Lincoln Heights community. So grateful for their service. May their recoveries be swift. Thinking too of the families of the officers and the trauma they have endured. — PolitiTweet.org

This is only about the money and the ratings. For Tucker Carlson. For Rupert Murdoch. And for Fox. It will only stop when Fox sees financial consequences. And when they don’t have an enabler in the Speaker’s office. https://t.co/yIDApfGvQo — PolitiTweet.org

The consequences for China abetting Russia’s assault against Ukraine must be swift. And severe. I have legislation granting authority to the president to sanction any person or entity connected with the People’s Republic of China that supports Putin's war. We must respond. — PolitiTweet.org

A JetBlue and Spirit merger is just bad business. It would lead to higher fares and fewer flights. In an industry that’s already too concentrated and expensive. Flyers deserve better, and I’m strongly behind the Biden administration’s efforts to block the merger. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It would be a mistake to reinstate migrant family detention. Under Trump, it was cruel, inhumane, and dangerous. Not a precedent a Democratic President should follow. We must work toward comprehensive immigration reform. Not fall back on a failed policy at odds with our values. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Dominion emails showed Tucker Carlson lied to the country about the election because he feared losing Trump fans and corporate profits. Last night, he lied about January 6. Different lies, same motive. Only now he has an accomplice in the Speaker’s office. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Key takeaways from the Fox News scandal: They fired people for telling the truth. Hosts like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity pushed election fraud claims they privately knew were absurd. For Murdoch only the money mattered. And the biggest scandal: No one is surprised — PolitiTweet.org

Walgreens caves, and won’t sell abortion pills in states where it is legal. So much for putting a priority on the health of their customers. Republicans across the country are doing everything possible to take away the right to reproductive freedom. They must be stopped. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Weak men peddle false election lies while privately dismissing them as absurd. Weak men use fear and hate to motivate their followers. Weak men value money and notoriety over truth and decency. Tucker Carlson is a weak, weak man. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Glad to see that the victims of January 6 will get to seek redress. Being president doesn’t give you the right to incite violence against cops and other fellow citizens. The police officers who defended our democracy are heroes. They deserve their day in court. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Reversing 50 years of precedent. Removing the right to bodily autonomy. Threatening the right to privacy. How did we get here? Republicans packed the Supreme Court, and reactionary Justices pushed political rulings. This cannot continue. We need to expand the court. Now. https://t.co/Wl9MHgZ5th — PolitiTweet.org

We shouldn’t have to debate condemning antisemitism. But evidently, we do. I introduced an amendment to ensure @HouseJudiciary conducts oversight of violent extremism, antisemitism, and anti-Asian hate. Republicans voted no. Opposition as inexplicable as it was inexcusable. https://t.co/hJuAI8qJVA — PolitiTweet.org

Federal employees deserve an option to invest in retirement funds aligned with their values. So we leave communities better off. And yet the GOP forced a vote today to dismantle the ability to invest in sustainable funds. I have legislation to change that. Let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Julie Su will be a phenomenal Secretary of Labor. She’s the fighter working individuals need as our economy continues to recover. In California, she was a tireless leader for working families. And now she’ll be a champion for all. Congratulations @JulieSuCA ! — PolitiTweet.org

With an economy stacked against working people,   And large corporations benefiting most from an unequal system,   Unions are our strongest line of defense.   We must support workers’ rights to organize and hold employers accountable.   I stand with unions and working families. — PolitiTweet.org
