This is the letter I sent. If Elon Musk is now a government employee, he is subject to conflicts of interest law. Requirements he seems to be completely ignoring. The American people deserve answers and accountability. Instead... more Trump purges.

This morning, I sent a letter to the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) regarding Elon Musk’s potential conflicts of interest. Within minutes, the White House confirmed receipt. By noon, President Trump fired the Director of OGE. I want to know: Was this to prevent his answer?

Need more $ for tax cuts for billionaires? Cut funding for cancer research. Need a few extra bucks for a corporate cash grab? Cut Special Education. Donald Trump and Elon Musk's last few weeks aren't hard to understand. Just follow the money.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govFeb 8(source)
Trump & Musk are making massive cuts to the National Institutes of Health. I know there is a lot going on right now, but this is one of worst things they have done so far, will affect cancer research and trials, the search for cures, innovation and competitiveness, our universities. Your lives.

Elon Musk wants to shutter the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an agency that oversees corporate malfeasance and efforts to rip off consumers. As the CEO of some of America’s largest corporations, Musk wants to give corporate America a license to steal … from you.

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers. It’s a massive waste. I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govFeb 7(source)
Trump's federal funding freeze has stopped the hiring of thousands of essential, seasonal firefighters. Yes. You read that right. I'm demanding answers from the Trump administration ASAP. They must reverse this freeze.

Immigrants built this country. They built LA County. They're part of our communities. They're helping rebuild our communities. Deporting construction workers will produce heartbreak for their families, and delays and increased costs for everyone else.

Republicans just confirmed Russ Vought as OMB Director. He's the guy who will make the budget cuts for Trump and Musk's pillaging of the Treasury. I voted NO.

Awful images of flooding in Sonoma County over the last few days. My heart goes out to the folks who lost homes or loved ones. I'm going to do everything I can to help with the response and rebuilding effort.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govFeb 6(source)
Kash Patel took the 5th before agreeing to testify before a grand jury. Now he doesn’t want to share his testimony about Trump's unlawful retention of classified documents. @booker.senate.gov, @whitehouse.senate.gov, and I sent a letter demanding that he disclose what he said. It is essential.
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.govFeb 6(source)
Donald Trump and Elon Musk's strategy: 1) Install cronies at key agencies 2) Gain access to critical systems 3) Take from the needy 4) Give massive tax cuts to the rich A Reverse Robin Hood.

As California's first Senator on the Agriculture Committee in 30+ years, I'm ready to work hard on behalf Central Valley farmers and farm workers. I'm proud of this industry. And I'm going to do everything I can to support it. www.bakersfield.com/news/sen-sch...
