First, Donald Trump used the Marines and the National Guard to support his mass deportation agenda in Los Angeles.

Now, he's using similar tactics in D.C. like a tinpot dictator.

Don't look away. Don't stay silent. If you do, don't be surprised if it's your city next.

  1. Hey Adam, this is a great statement. Do you think there's something you could be doing besides fundraising and telling other people to do what YOU should be doing?

  2. YOU'RE IN A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, UNLIKE ME, WHO HAS NO POWER HERE. EVERY DAY YOU KEEP LETTING THIS HAPPEN IS ONE DAY CLOSER TO YOUR DOOM, CAUSE IF YOU THINK YOU WERENT GOING IN THE FUCKING TRAIN, THEN YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO BE DOING YOUR JOB, WHICH YOU AREN'T DOING.

  3. I really hope democracy lasts long enough for me to vote for a senator with a fucking spine in 2030. Some "opposition party" you guys have been when you actually need to do your jobs.

  4. Sen. Schiff here taking a page from @schumer.senate.gov on strongly-worded nothingburger letters/posts. I get it though. You’re too busy making sure Israel can continue slaughtering civilians to, I dunno, use your power to oppose a rogue president?🙄 ca.cair.com/press-releas...

  5. No matter what happens I take solace in your steadfast dedication to rubber stamp Trump's appointees before heading to social media to talk about how concerned you are that we're slipping into fascism

  6. Here's an idea: Next time he goes up to the roof, tell him he won't jump.

    Tell him Obama would've done a flip & landed on his feet. But you know he won't.

  7. You sandbagged Katie Porter to get this Senate seat and are doing nothing helpful with it. Which just goes to show you wanted all the power and benefits and none of the work involved. Shame on you.

  8. Democrats seem to be at a loss as to how to respond, but if you want to know what you can do to be helpful to the resistance- a coordinated, fiery call from Democrats to remove him from office and publicly refuse to accept his authority to do this would be great

  9. Senator I'm watching and saying things but it doesn't seem to be having much of an effect, do you think you could maybe pitch in a little more here

    Maybe you should do something about it, since you're a Senator, right?

  11. Dude. Dude. Are you ACTUALLY putting the onus on the average American to stop this? YOUR JOB IS TO STAND UP TO THIS! You want us there marching? SHOW US YOU HAVE OUR BACKS. Show support for progressives who are actually doing stuff! Or resign & let someone who will fight for us take your place.

  12. So why aren't you shutting down the Senate? Why aren't you being actively disruptive?

    You know this administration does not listen to the courts, which are increasingly stacked with their goons and sycophants anyway

    Disrupt confirmation hearings. Shut down the government and make him own it

  13. "Someone should do something about this." - a sitting US senator

    Hey Schiff you're one of the people that can actually do something about this using the systems at our collective disposal. Y'know the civil and legal tools. The stuff we're counting on before going "eff it" and resort to other things

  14. You don’t want us to stay silent like you’ve been on Israel’s genocide of Palestinians? Why don’t you go back to counting your AIPAC money?

  15. Oh, sure, and while we’re in the streets getting hit with CS gas and rubber bullets, wheee will you be exactly? And what will you be doing? Approving more Trump nominees and taking more crypto money? Coward!

  16. Dear Adam Schiff, while I appreciate your stab at a “motivational” response here - please just GFYS! Get out of the way and let a Dem/Anyone that can kick the Nazis out of this country! You had your chance!!!

  17. Cool, now do something about it, bro. Love that you come on here for vaguely inspirational (?) posts and then make yourself unavailable to constituents, repeatedly make bad votes, meet with war criminals. Like, actually do something or resign and make room for someone who will fight for us.

  18. As one of your constituents, I mean this sincerely: go fuck yourself.

    You had the means, but you did nothing. How many of Trump’s nominees did you vote for? How much have you done? Have you really done everything in your power?

    I will not be voting for you next time.

  19. The question why did johnson shut Congress for a month. Why did Johnson turn butt kisser to trump. The Republicans ran away from the Epstein situation files. They are backing a dirty traitor and sex scandal suraround trump. If you voted for trump THIS IS ON YOU. Stop blaming others for your shit

  20. sure, let me say it loud and clear: THE IDEA IS TO DO AT HOME WHAT YOU SO SUCCESSFULLY ENABLED TO HAPPEN IN PALESTINE, AND YOU'RE HELPING HIM, WHILE PRETENDING TO BE POWERLESS

  21. This post is tone deaf. It almost sounds like Adam is enjoying the drama. Posts like this are useless without action description of what you’re doing to stop the “tinpot dictator”.

  24. I'm one of your constituents. All I ever see you do is stand idly by or actually go ahead and vote for his nominees. How about you either start doing something, or step down and let someone with actual convictions do the job

  25. He's very very clearly unfit for office. He's a walking talking liability of a foreign asset. He doesn't read his intelligence briefings, he can't keep a secret. In fact, he's literally suspected of selling secrets of our government and science labs. Remove this man to prison, where he belongs

  26. Why can’t we shoot masked armed Gestapo capturing citizens. I really don’t understand.

  27. It’s like there is a 💩 on the floor and Dems keep pointing at it saying “look how shitty the shit is!”. Nobody with a brain needs you to tell us how shitty the shit is. Get the damn pooper scooper and get the 💩 out of the White House! 😡

  28. This is how you post about the word #Precedent without being cryptic & being GenX & Boomers compliant.

  29. I have not heard anyone mentioning Jan 6 when the orange dictator did not call in the national guard. Said it wasn’t his responsibility.

  30. It's preparing the muscle for the midterms. The "checks and balances" in the system remain silent. Our institutions are today's "potemkin village" - they look good from afar. People thought they could turf Hitler in 4 years if he actually did what he promised; there were no elections for 12 years.

  31. Remember all this as you remember the cabinet members you helped confirm and every vote that you do that goes against the public interest vs corporate interest.

    And can't wait til Katie Porter's governor! You better support her after you shivved her for that seat my dude.

  32. Fucking hell! If only there were another branch of government or some other form of authority that could fuckin do something! Not you tho? Right? You're just here to do the fucking play by play!

  33. What can we do? I live in Dallas,TX, and am witnessing such incredible weakness in leadership here that trump can order the governor to remove the Democratic district that I live in. Tell me what to do and I’ll do it. Democrats lead by example! We need leadership! You don’t need our money to lead!

  34. Schiff’s social media staffer, print this off and give it Adam. No Shit, Sherlock. We have asked and begged Dems to stop this craziness. You guys can’t read the room, crickets from you, but yet you expect us to donate to your reelection campaign. You FAILED us.

  35. Aw man, really!? Well good thing we can count on Senators like you to not break ranks and vote to confirm Trump nominees, or to advance shitty crypto legislation, or to keep sending weapons to a client state committing a genocide. THANK YOU SENATOR! WE'D BE LOST WITHOUT YOUR LEADERSHIP!!!

  36. I know you’re in the minority party, but people are looking for leadership.

    “Don't look away. Don't stay silent.” is not leadership.

  37. Republican senators and congressmen are helping trump undermine Democracy and everything that is good and sacred about our country. All for power and control over others who are not white males. Insecure little bastards.

  38. …and recognizing the severity of the situation, I will vote against every nominee from President Trump and take all steps within my legislative power to slow and oppose all bills supported by this Administration.

    That’s how you meant to finish this statement right?
