Our first hearing was just a sample of the evidence we’ve gathered. Tomorrow, we’ll tell the story of how Trump knowingly propagated his Big Lie. Then used that lie to pressure legislators, the Vice President, and, ultimately, summon the mob. The public deserves to know. https://t.co/uQZ6cgrbZy — PolitiTweet.org

Generally, you don't ask for a presidential pardon if you think you've done nothing wrong. Republicans can downplay January 6 all they want. But concern over the need for a pardon is clear evidence of consciousness of guilt. No wonder they don’t want their complicity exposed. https://t.co/QGyWFiV2Qf — PolitiTweet.org

In 1963, the Equal Pay Act became law. Yet, the pay gap persists with women on average earning 84% of what men do. And the disparity is worse for Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous women. It’s why I'm a cosponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act. It's time to close the gap for good. — PolitiTweet.org

In the coming days, we will present more evidence of the plot to overturn an election. But it will be up to the Justice Department to determine what laws were broken and by whom. Attorney General Garland promised to follow the facts wherever they may lead. He must do so. https://t.co/WWlShtq2PM — PolitiTweet.org

After nearly a year, @January6thCmte is ready to share its findings with the public. We’ll answer key questions, provide new evidence and witness testimony, and chart a path forward for the country — and for protecting our democracy. Watch at home: https://t.co/HLuf2xQDUZ — PolitiTweet.org

Uvalde. Parkland. Isla Vista. Newtown. Just four mass shootings carried out by people who shouldn't have had access to firearms. Red flag laws save lives. They would have in these towns and they may save lives in yours. Today, the House voted to expand such laws nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
It's been a heartbreaking month in America. Mass shooting after mass shooting after mass shooting. The bloodshed must end. And it can, if we act. We just passed the Protecting Our Children Act, a package of gun safety measures to keep our kids safe. And this is just the start. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
During tomorrow's hearing and in the ones to follow, we'll show how close we came to losing our democracy. And why it's still deeply at risk. We'll provide details of the effort to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power. And what we must do to protect our democracy now. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
We'll demonstrate the multipronged effort to overturn a presidential election, how one strategy to subvert the election led to another, culminating in a violent attack on our democracy. It’s an important story, and one that must be told to ensure it never happens again. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
The public hearings will present both new and publicly known information in a compelling way. Many have heard the story in drips and drabs. But that only gives part of the picture. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Tomorrow, @January6thCmte will hold its first public hearing as we begin to share the findings of our investigation with the country. I want to let you know a little about what to expect, what to look out for, and our objective. — PolitiTweet.org

The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia ordered the brutal murder of an American resident and journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. For that — and many other human rights violations — he should be shunned. I would not meet with him or shake his hand. President Biden shouldn’t either. https://t.co/FSuRT2iK2O — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
January 6 was the violent culmination of an extensive effort to overturn a presidential election. The American people know a lot about those events, but soon they will learn more, and see how close we came to losing our democracy. On Thursday, we will begin to tell that story. https://t.co/hX6RAS9GFR — PolitiTweet.org

Prosecution of those who refuse to comply with a lawful subpoena is vital to ensuring congressional oversight has teeth. Otherwise, Congress cannot function as the Founders intended. The balance of power becomes unbalanced. And a corrupt executive can’t be held to account. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
.@POTUS' strategy to fight gun violence is spot on. One of his priorities: Repealing immunity for negligent gun makers and dealers. That’s a top priority of mine, too. And I wrote the bill to get it done. No one gets a pass when it comes to protecting the lives of our kids. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Same old excuses from the GOP: “Criminals will break any gun safety laws we pass.” Wrong. Gun laws reduce the number of mass killings. They have in every other country that has tried. We’re lawmakers. It’s literally in the job title. If you’re not up to it, find a new job. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
It just never ends. And how could we expect it to if we don’t do anything about gun violence. My heart is with the Tulsa community as it mourns. But my determination is in Washington where every wasted second means another preventable death. We must act. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Pride is a time to uplift the LGBTQ+ community. To do so, we must remember its roots. Because the first Pride wasn’t a celebration – it was a protest led by trans activists like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. We honor them by standing with the LGBTQ+ community. Always. — PolitiTweet.org

I just introduced a bill to suspend the federal gas tax. To deliver savings for the millions of families struggling to get by. We’ll pay for it with a tax on the excess profits of Big Oil companies. It's time they paid their fair share - and you got a break at the pump. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
On Memorial Day, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country. Our nation is safer and stronger today because of the heroes who serve it in uniform. So to all those who serve, and to their families and loved ones: Thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Many of us got involved in politics because we wanted to leave a better world behind. We still can. But not if we lack courage. Or give in to despair. I’m not giving up. You must not either. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
It has been many years since my wife and I dropped off our kids at elementary school. When we did, we felt they would have fun, learn, and be safe. Just like the parents in Uvalde must have thought. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Imagine a world where it’s easier to get health care than guns. Where children and their teachers go to school and come home safely. It's not a fantasy. It’s happening. In virtually every country but ours. That world is possible. We can make it so. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
.@GovAbbott, @SenTedCruz — Are you still planning to join the NRA conference in Texas this weekend? While parents are burying their children? Is your political future really more important than our kids? Will nothing get you to act? — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Two years ago, George Floyd was murdered in an act of police brutality. His killer has been held to account. But true justice has yet to be seen. Justice means an end to discrimination against Black individuals. And an end to brutality. We pray for his family. And press on. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Imagine how many children wouldn’t be slaughtered in school if being pro-life was more than just a talking point for Republicans in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
The shooting at Robb Elementary in Texas is a horror. My heart aches for the families devastated by this tragedy and the Uvalde community. Children are dying, and we could do something about it. But the GOP won’t stand up to the gun lobby. Shameful doesn’t begin to cover it. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
The House just took action to crack down on Big Oil's price gouging. $6 a gallon for Californians is unacceptable and unnecessary — the result of corporations putting profits over people. The best solution? Holding Big Oil to account and going all-in on green energy. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
COVID-19 revealed vulnerabilities in our supply chains for critical goods – but a shortage of baby formula is as urgent as it gets. Tonight, we passed bills to remove unnecessary barriers to access and get stock back on shelves. Babies shouldn't bear the brunt of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
I’ll fight for my Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act. That's just one solution. More are needed, like banning assault weapons and extended clips, and universal background checks. We must end the cycle of violence. Whatever it takes to keep our people safe. — PolitiTweet.org
