Cutting funding for life-saving research has nothing to do with attacking antisemitism. It has everything to do with attacking science, universities, and California. And sadly, it is our health, our knowledge and our economy that will pay the price.

Donald Trump placed major tariffs on Brazil. Now he's sanctioning a judge. But … why? Answer: It has nothing to do with trade, unless you consider insurrection to be a new American export.

As families recover and rebuild from natural disasters - mortgage payment deadlines can make matters so much worse. That's why I am introducing a bill with @bennet.senate.gov to give homeowners the financial support they need in times of crisis.

Donald Trump is trying to skip Senate confirmation altogether for some of his most dangerous nominees. In his appointment of bitterly partisan U.S. Attorneys around the country, he's upending the justice system, eroding the rule of law, and making us all less safe. youtu.be/ZWZSgR9QFrs?...

Some of the President's appointees are so extreme, even he doesn’t think they can get confirmed. So Trump is doing an end run around the Senate & finding legally dubious ways to keep them in power. These bad actors may carry out the president’s partisan agenda, but they will not make us more safe.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 30(source)
Attacking the science does not change the science. But it does make us less prepared to confront the crisis. Just step outside and feel the heat. Their denial is dangerous and absurd.

Republicans just voted to confirm Emil Bove. Despite whistleblowers confirming he urged them to ignore court orders. Despite it being clear he lied to the Judiciary Committee. And despite the danger he poses to the rule of law. The corruption of the bench continues.

Two more tragic mass shootings this week. On Monday, several Californians were the victims of a shooting in Reno. And then, the additional tragedy in New York City. My heart goes out to the family and friends of the victims during this unimaginably difficult time.

Children are starving. Civilian deaths continue to mount. Hostages are still held. Today I led 43 of my Senate colleagues in demanding the State Department work urgently to end the humanitarian disaster in Gaza. This cannot continue.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)
What will come out next about Bove? That's precisely the problem with this disaster of a nominee. And why Senate Republicans are rushing through his nomination. Before more disqualifying information can come out.

“I think it would be incredibly dangerous for someone like that to have a lifetime appointment as a federal appellate judge." The latest whistleblower's words, not mine. I agree.

Now, ANOTHER whistleblower has provided "substantive, internal DOJ documents to the Inspector General" supporting Reuveni's damning allegations. www.cnn.com/2025/07/27/p...
Another whistleblower claims that top DOJ official suggested department could ignore court orders | CNN Politics
Another whistleblower has made claims to the Justice Department’s watchdog that Emil Bove — a top agency official who is now nominated for a judgeship — suggested others in the department could ignore...
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)
Republicans discounted Reuveni's detailed complaint. They tried to cast doubt on it. Then Reuveni provided extensive emails, documents, and text messages to the committee that backed up what he said.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)
Bove, Trump’s former personal defense attorney, has been nominated for a position on the court of appeals. While at DOJ, he worked to reshape the department to carry out the president’s dirty work. To dismiss cases against his allies and take aim at his enemies list.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govJul 29(source)
BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵
