Putin alone is responsible for the death and destruction this war will bring. As we work to hold him accountable, we must support those who will be displaced, injured, orphaned, or worse by this needless bloodshed. My thoughts continue to be with the Ukrainian people. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Finally, and just as critically, I want to talk about humanitarian aid for the millions of civilians now in harm's way. We must allocate funds to support the resettlement of refugees and provide other forms of assistance to the victims of Putin's war. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
These were the right call and will drive up the cost of this war for Putin. I also believe we should continue to look for additional means to respond, including terminating Russia’s ability to use SWIFT. We should also continue providing defensive military support to Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Before the war, the admin crafted a massive sanctions package to respond to an invasion. Those sanctions have been issued, and will cause significant pain to the Russian economy. They cut off banks from the global finance system, target oligarchs, and block high-tech exports. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Over the next days, I will be closely watching Kyiv. From Putin's public statements, I believe he intends to remove Ukraine's leadership to install pro-Russian puppets. Russian forces are already encircling Kyiv and other major cities. Civilian casualties could be very high. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy has demonstrated incredible bravery, leading his nation under assault. The Ukrainian military and ordinary citizens are doing the same and our prayers - and unrelenting support - are with them as they defend their nation against Russian invaders. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
First, while we are still in the early days, I believe Putin likely underestimated the Ukrainian will to fight. Russia has an advantage in firepower and numbers, but the Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom and on their own soil. They will not give up without a struggle. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
🧵: For many weeks, U.S. Intelligence agencies have warned of the potential for a major Russian invasion of Ukraine. Despite serious efforts at diplomacy, that warning has proven all too accurate. I want to take a moment to share some thoughts on where we go from here. — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is a brilliant and fair jurist. Someone who has dedicated her life to public service and making our nation more just. She is an outstanding and historic choice for the Court, and deserves a strong and bipartisan confirmation. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
In a nation where dissent can be a death sentence, it takes tremendous courage to speak out. To the Russian people protesting against war, against Putin: We see you. We hear you. And we stand with you in calling for an end to this devastating conflict. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is more than just a brutal act of war. It’s an attack on the idea that countries are free to choose their own destiny. An attack on the rules-based order that has kept world peace since WWII. And, most critically, an attack on democracy itself. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
We must enact the most severe sanctions possible. Go after Russia's biggest banks. Go after Russia's biggest oligarchs. Go after Russia's ability to use financial markets. Cut them off from doing business with the West until they end this bloody war. And we need to do it now. https://t.co/G7QqQGLeNa — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
This is Putin's war. Senseless, tragic, and barbaric. We must enact debilitating sanctions on Russia and cut them off from the global economy. And, in the meantime, we pray for the Ukrainian people. And an end to this madness. — PolitiTweet.org

Reports SF Police stored DNA from rape survivors and violent crime victims, even children, are deeply disturbing. This violates privacy rights and chills reporting of crimes by survivors. I’m pressing for answers on how we end this practice. Including possible legislation. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Trump is again cozying up to Putin. It’s part of an ugly pattern. He welcomed and used Russian help in his 2016 campaign. He withheld military aid to Ukraine to get help in his 2020 campaign. And it won’t be the last time that Trump undermines US security. If we let him. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
It’s disturbing that SF police may have used DNA from a sexual assault survivor to link her to an unrelated crime. Survivors show immense courage in coming forward. We should support them completely – not treat them as suspects. The FBI must address this abuse of DNA evidence. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
The Biden admin has delivered serious consequences for Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. But we must be prepared to go further. Because all indications are that Putin won't stop without more punitive measures. We must meet this challenge head-on and stand with Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Bear with me here, folks: Back in 2012, Meatball the Bear wandered into Glendale homes to eat IKEA meatballs. Hank the Tank just wants leftover pizza. Who doesn’t? Meatball was taken to a sanctuary. Hank the Tank should be taken to one, too. Anything else would be unbearable. — PolitiTweet.org

A black bear known as Hank the Tank has broken into more than two dozen California homes since July, officials say.… https://t.co/qXvv4ExR2S

Putin’s unilateral declaration that territories within Ukraine are now independent republics is an arrogant and dangerous move by the Kremlin dictator. The U.S. and our NATO allies are united in our determination to punish this blatant violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Any diplomatic effort is worthwhile if it can prevent war. A war in Ukraine would be a humanitarian disaster. I applaud President Biden for all his efforts to achieve peace. Standing strong means never closing the door to diplomacy. https://t.co/WhgaBswdQ3 — PolitiTweet.org

The DOJ investigated Clinton over her emails. Repeatedly. Now it’s been confirmed that Trump took classified materials to Mar-a-Lago in violation of law. It’s one thing for Trump to be breathtakingly hypocritical. But the DOJ must enforce the law – consistently. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
The past few days indicate our worst fears about Russia’s intentions toward Ukraine may be coming true. There is still time for Putin to choose diplomacy. He must. But make no mistake – we will stand united with our NATO allies in response to whatever comes next. — PolitiTweet.org

3.7 million children have fallen back into poverty since Senate Republicans let the Child Tax Credit expire. 3.7 million kids who now have less to eat and more to worry about. Imagine being so interested in scoring political points that you let kids go hungry. Shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

@davidhogg111 You’re absolutely right. Ending the filibuster needs to be the first order of business. It stands in the way of major action on everything - anything - including ending gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
The settlement between Remington and families of Sandy Hook victims is a win that holds the gun industry to account. And it underscores the vitality of my Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act which will help others seek redress. We must seize this momentum. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Four years ago, an act of evil stole 17 people from us in Parkland. Today, we honor the memory of those lost in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting. And rededicate ourselves to fighting for the gun safety measures that could've saved their lives... and can still save others. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
There were multiple lines of effort to overturn the 2020 election. The violent attack on January 6 was only the last. DOJ should investigate any credible allegation of illegality concerning these efforts. By anyone. Including the former president. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Congressional staffers put so much effort and energy into serving our country. And, like every worker, they should be able to organize for better working conditions and a brighter future. Proud to join @RepAndyLevin's bill to recognize their right to form a union. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
Florida lawmakers just passed a blatantly discriminatory anti-LGBTQ+ bill. Legislation designed to dehumanize vulnerable LGBTQ+ kids. And it’s just one piece of a larger campaign of hatred led by GOP politicians. One we are obligated to speak out against. — PolitiTweet.org
Adam Schiff @RepAdamSchiff
California was right to put a moratorium on the death penalty in 2019. As was Biden in 2021. And @CAGovernor is right to start closing the nation’s largest death row. We must continue to reform our criminal justice system. And California must continue to lead the way. — PolitiTweet.org
