Think about it. When it was discovered the tobacco industry knowingly sold products that could kill Americans, victims could sue for damages. Why shouldn't families torn apart by gun violence be able to do the same when gun dealers act negligently? My bill would enable that. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It's called the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act. It would repeal the law which makes the gun industry exempt from being sued in most cases. Why should an industry that's done so much damage to America enjoy immunity? — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

The gun industry has no incentive to support safety measures to keep guns out of the wrong hands. So we need to hit them where it hurts: Their wallets. That means passing laws that would ensure negligent gun makers and dealers are held to account. I have the bill to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Buffalo. Houston. Laguna Woods. Amarillo. Winston-Salem. Five mass shootings in one weekend. Two hundred and three mass shootings so far this year. It's easy to grow numb to the bloodshed. But it doesn’t have to be this way – we can stop this. Here's how we start: — PolitiTweet.org

Closely monitoring reports of a brush fire burning near Griffith Observatory. Right now, firefighters are working nonstop to put this fire out. Please remain vigilant and follow instructions from local law enforcement agencies should the need to evacuate arise. Stay safe, LA! — PolitiTweet.org

The LGBTQ+ community is resilient.   But the recent rise in hate fomented by the GOP has made matters worse – for children especially. So on International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, let's renew our promise to be allies to the LGBTQ+ community. Hate will not win. — PolitiTweet.org

One million. America has lost one million people to COVID-19 – more reported deaths than any other country. It will only get worse if Congress doesn't deliver the aid needed to fight the virus. To my GOP colleagues: Put politics aside and pass the funding. Lives are at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

The Buffalo shooting was intended to terrorize Black communities and individuals. It is a reminder of the danger of the spread of white supremacist ideology. We must speak with one voice to denounce it. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

When she’s not pushing the Big Lie, or promoting a racist doctrine that inspired the Buffalo shooter, @RepStefanik is appealing to her QAnon base. From moderate to the craven right-wing, her story is the story of the modern GOP. Less party than anti-truth cult of personality. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It’s horrifying to be in this position again: grieving another mass shooting just hours after the attack in Buffalo. My heart breaks for the Laguna Woods community, and for every community marred by gun violence. I will never accept this bloodshed as normal. We. Must. Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Tucker Carlson is many things — but he’s not stupid. When he pushes racist conspiracies like “the great replacement,” he knows the risks. He knows some view his vile hate as a call to arms. The problem is Tucker just doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Closely monitoring reports of a shooting at Grand Central Market in downtown Los Angeles. This is a developing situation. But as we wait for more details to come in, one thing is clear: We need gun safety measures. And we need them now. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Two mass shootings in 24 hours, in Milwaukee and Buffalo — the latter killing ten people. I’m heartbroken. And I’m angry. Angry that the GOP continues to block even the most basic gun safety measures. We can stop this. We can save lives. Republicans just refuse to. Cowards. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Republicans want to overturn Roe. They want to criminalize women’s health care decisions. And let politicians decide what they must do with an expected pregnancy. Putting women’s lives, health, and freedom at risk. We must fight back to protect the right to privacy. We will. https://t.co/Q4nOzCDx9V — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that Kevin McCarthy lied about wanting Trump to resign after Jan 6 isn’t a scandal. Or even a surprise. The scandal is that lying is the only way he can keep his leadership post. In Trump and McCarthy’s GOP, truth is disqualifying. And the bigger the lie, the better. https://t.co/oDncD2CAtp — PolitiTweet.org

If Finland and Sweden want to join NATO, we should emphatically support their inclusion. They will contribute immensely to our collective defense. And their admission will also make Russia’s war on Ukraine an unmitigated strategic failure. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

It’s really simple: The Capitol was attacked. And Republican members have information relevant to our investigation. We requested their cooperation. They refused. Leaving us no choice but to subpoena them. If their oath of office means anything, they have a duty to comply. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

First, this is unconstitutional. But you know that. Second, this is just a cheap political shot. You know that, too. So as the member who represents Disney Studios, allow me to say: @HawleyMO, California doesn’t support your “Don’t Say Gay, Do Say Pandering” policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Deeply saddened to learn Shireen Abu Akleh - a Palestinian-American reporter - was killed. I'm praying for her family, her colleague, Ali Al-Samudi, and all members of the press who risk their lives doing their jobs. A thorough investigation is needed to ensure accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I'm appalled by Senate GOP's vote to block the Women's Health Protection Act. They are putting millions of women at risk. And their failure to act makes it easier for a partisan court to turn back the clock on reproductive rights. We won't give up the fight for choice. Ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Since the weekend, oil prices have fallen by about 10 percent. Yet gas prices just hit a new high. This is exploitation by oil and gas companies – plain and simple. It needs to end. And Big Oil needs to be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I’m glad Democrats and Republicans united behind additional aid for Ukraine. During our meeting, @ZelenskyyUa stressed the urgency of further humanitarian, economic, and military assistance from the U.S. We promised to deliver. And we are making good on that promise. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

Every worker deserves the chance to unionize – and staffers who work tirelessly to serve Congress and the public are no exception. Proud to vote tonight to recognize their right to organize in the House. The movement for labor justice belongs in the halls of Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

There's much to learn about unidentified aerial phenomena. But one thing is sure – the American people deserve full transparency. Next week, @HouseIntel will give the public a chance to hear from experts on one of the greatest mysteries of our time. — PolitiTweet.org

CONSERVATIVE (adjective) con·ser·va·tive | \ kən-ˈsər-və-tiv \ a. Tending or disposed to maintain existing views, conditions, or institutions. Example // "A conservative court would uphold settled precedent like Roe v. Wade. A partisan court would not." — PolitiTweet.org

On this day in 1945, the Nazis surrendered. And now, 77 years later, another dictator is trying to subjugate the people of a neighboring country. But there will be no victory for Russia. Ukraine, and peace, will prevail. And democracy will again triumph over dictatorship. — PolitiTweet.org

Great question, @SenBooker. To ensure every student gets a high-quality education, we ought to invest in the folks providing that education: Teachers. That's why I'm proud to co-lead the RAISE Act with you – a bill to deliver long-overdue salary increases to public educators. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I don’t care how the draft leaked. That’s a sideshow. What I care about is that a small number of conservative justices, who lied about their plans to the Senate, intend to deprive millions of women of reproductive care. Codifying Roe isn't enough. We must expand the court. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

I understand the impulse for despair. But it’s not too late to protect the right to choose. Congress must codify protections for abortion rights. We must abolish the filibuster to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. Now. People elected us to lead, not lament. Let’s do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff

A free press is the bedrock of democracy, and we are indebted to the journalists who risk it all to speak truth and hold power to account. Today and every day, we stand with the free press. We honor their contributions and sacrifices. And we pledge to defend their rights. — PolitiTweet.org
