Deeply saddened by the assassination of former Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe. Political violence is a threat that’s on the rise everywhere. We must speak with one voice to denounce it. My prayers are with his family and the people of Japan. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2020, our democracy held because the people — not partisan legislatures — pick the winner in our elections. Now, the Supreme Court may change that. Paving the way for one-party, minority rule. We must abolish the filibuster. And pass voting rights. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s heartbreaking to spend the Fourth of July mourning yet another American tragedy: A deadly mass shooting, this time in Highland Park. Weapons of war have no place on our streets. None. It’s long past time to ban assault rifles — before tragedy strikes again. — PolitiTweet.org

We are a nation whose destiny is still unfolding. At times, progress feels like a great struggle. Yet we press on to create a more perfect union. As Amanda Gorman said, we are 'not broken, but simply unfinished.' Wishing you, your loved ones, and our country a wonderful day! — PolitiTweet.org

For four years, the Justice Department took the position you can’t prosecute a sitting president. If they were to now take the position they can’t prosecute a former president, it would permanently endanger the rule of law. And be antithetical to what our Founders intended. https://t.co/7VYuEmA6ZK — PolitiTweet.org

In November, California will have a ballot measure to enshrine the right to abortion and contraception in our Constitution. We won’t allow a partisan Court to reverse decades of progress. And we will remain a home for all who want to make their own health care decisions. — PolitiTweet.org

In just a matter of days, this Supreme Court has dealt serious blows to: Reproductive rights. Gun safety. Privacy. And now to the planet. All because Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump stacked the Court. Time to unstack it — expand the Court. — PolitiTweet.org

If we are to curb gun violence, we must learn more about how guns are illegally trafficked. And how they fall into the wrong hands. I just introduced a bill requiring the ATF to publish an annual report on gun trafficking. So we can attack this problem at the source. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

President Biden just endorsed changing the filibuster to protect Roe v. Wade. I wholeheartedly agree. Senators, you have the support of your party, your president, and the American people. What are you waiting for? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Here's what we learned: Trump knew the crowd on Jan. 6 was heavily armed. Prepared for violence. He wanted the magnetometers taken down, as the crowd was no threat to him. He then directed them to the Capitol, where they threatened his VP. And he was perfectly fine with that. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

With each new ruling, the Supreme Court makes it clear: They are willing to abandon any precedent that gets in the way of their conservative social and religious agenda. But Congress isn't powerless. We can expand the court. Codify rights. And move America forward again. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Justice Thomas made it perfectly clear where this partisan Supreme Court is going next: They’re coming for marriage equality, too. Thomas explicitly said so, calling for Obergefell to be reconsidered. Congress must protect our rights before the Court can take them away. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Abolish the filibuster. Codify Roe. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

We just passed a bipartisan, bicameral gun safety bill that will, among other things: - Toughen red flag laws and background checks - Invest in school security and mental health - Close the boyfriend loophole It doesn’t do nearly enough, but it’s a start and will save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Six unelected individuals just denied women all over America the right to make their own health care decisions. They did so after swearing to respect the Court’s decision in Roe. Congress must fight this in every way we can. Or this Court will return us to the Stone Age. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The Court's decision to overturn Roe endangers women everywhere, by taking away their right to make their own health care choices. This court isn't conservative – it's partisan, with a socially backward agenda. They can't be trusted to protect our rights, so the Congress must. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Today, the Supreme Court stopped states from protecting their citizens from concealed guns. Even though guns are the leading cause of death of children. Once again, the Court ignored the law to favor a political agenda. Discrediting itself, and endangering the public. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

On Tuesday, we revealed how Donald Trump attempted to pressure state and local elections officials to overturn the election. Today, we'll show how he tried to replace the leadership of the DOJ because they wouldn't go along with his plan. Watch here: https://t.co/SQ5Y5U2ijF — PolitiTweet.org

We are blessed beyond measure to live in the world's greatest democracy. It's a legacy to be cherished, and protected. That we have enjoyed a democracy for more than 200 years does not mean we will tomorrow. All of us must play a part in its preservation. My closing statement: https://t.co/Lo5jnPQEhX — PolitiTweet.org

Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss were doing their jobs. Helping people vote. But when an increasingly desperate Donald Trump spread a conspiracy his own Attorney General said was baseless, their lives were turned upside down. Nearly two years later, they still have not recovered. https://t.co/onupw9pUl7 — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The President and his campaign pushed lies about the election and tried to get legislatures to act on them. They created false slates of electors and tried to get the Vice President to accept them. And they pressured anyone who got in their way. Putting their lives at risk. https://t.co/EXyAsNf4Yd — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Today, we will show how Donald Trump spread claims of fraud he knew were false, How he used these lies to pressure state and local officials to overturn the election, How he endangered their lives and their families, And how courageous public servants protected our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Juneteenth celebrates emancipation, and the long-overdue end to the darkest chapter in our history. It’s an Independence Day with its own unique and vital significance. So today, let's celebrate freedom. Even as we continue the fight for equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

His campaign manager knew he lost. His attorney general knew he lost. His top advisers knew he lost. His legal team knew he lost. His daughter knew he lost.   And Trump knew it too. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Last week, our committee revealed new details and footage of the violence on January 6. Today, we will explore the former president’s Big Lie and the critical role it played in spurring that violence. Watch live: https://t.co/CipuAC2xBm — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Trump knew the risk of violence on January 6. But he incited the mob anyway. Then watched as it fought for him, and threatened to kill his vice president. Trump didn’t try to stop them or demand they disperse. Because they were there for him. And that was all that mattered. https://t.co/3swHy6UkjG — PolitiTweet.org

Six years ago, an act of evil turned a nightclub into a graveyard. The Pulse shooting was designed to terrorize LGBTQ+ people, particularly people of color. But we won't let hate win. Today, we remember the 49 souls lost. And we pledge our solidarity to the LGBTQ+ community. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Is the bipartisan gun deal everything I wanted? No. No assault weapons ban. No high-capacity magazine ban. No age limit. But it’s progress that will save lives. Enhancing background checks. Red flag laws. Closing loopholes. This is only the beginning, not the end, of our work. — PolitiTweet.org
