Kick ass and take names!

equinox55.bsky.social•86 days ago

👏👏👏👏
Tax the rich to reduce the deficit.

tingermaster.bsky.social•86 days ago

DO MORE

blankverso.bsky.social•86 days ago

Yes the budget is terrible and should be voted down. BUT how can you stand for our democracy while at the time voting to send bombs to an autocratic nation? You have to be better than that, hypocrisy does not a leader make.

lauralarrecou.bsky.social•86 days ago

Adam, Bluesky saved me a phone call. Just wanted you to know I really liked this video, especially the clip listening to the orange felon gloat with his rich sycophants about their money. What extortion.

oregonkate13.bsky.social•86 days ago

You’re doing great. As usual. 🇺🇸

drawpipe.bsky.social•86 days ago

Well what are you doing about it besides writing on Bluesky telling us that they’re doing it?

You are a senator!

If you really can’t stop them using senate rules, have you considered revolt or other dramatic means?

Maybe a sit in? Maybe just spitting on them in pure discuss?

Do something!

makemineblue.bsky.social•86 days ago

The time is now. Congress is becoming a hollow shell of governance. It stands as a mere shadow of what was once a functioning democracy, destined to be remembered only in the pages of GOP history books.
Become revelant again before it's too late. Fight, fight, fight.

mindiwriter.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you, Senator! You and Vote-a-Rama are heroic.

mysticphilosopher.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you for all you do!!

flissisnothavingit.bsky.social•86 days ago

Any chance of getting Schumer to do the right thing

batrachiangal.bsky.social•86 days ago

You emphasize the obvious but I learned. Strange dynamic. I’m enlightened but chagrined. I met you & respect you. My childhood friend has served & worked for you for many years. My beef is that you aren’t putting us on an equal level as you! You go home to your cushy existence. You are not helping.

mwcaligirl.bsky.social•86 days ago

Wonderful explanation! Make sure Schumer actually fights for us this time!!

susanmct.bsky.social•86 days ago

Hold the line and give them nothing, please.

eddyrobinson.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thanks. This sort of procedural detail is very welcome.

momlovestennis.bsky.social•86 days ago

I’d be happy to meet Mike Johnson in a back alley to make sure the House votes for this.

aga99.bsky.social•86 days ago

I hear you. Thank you for doing something.

il-forno.bsky.social•86 days ago

Stay strong, Adam. History will not forgive.

wordsoffreedom.bsky.social•86 days ago

I saw the video.
Thank you and good luck.
I don’t understand how these people that you’re going to be voting with on the other side of the aisle in good conscience support removing health services to make wealthy people wealthier.
1 billion isn’t enough?
Why do your GOP colleagues support this?

katzak.bsky.social•86 days ago

Mad respect, Senator Schiff. Stand strong.

hoefjes.bsky.social•86 days ago

thank you thank you! the force be with you. from europe, with love.

relentlesspursuit.bsky.social•86 days ago

Keep up the pressure!

wildchild0371.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you, Senator! We know what the CONservatives!!! have planned. It would be great to have them on the record!

aercolini.bsky.social•86 days ago

Please fire Schumer. The guy has failed to lead.

thinking-thankful.bsky.social•86 days ago

California must continue to lead the resistance and a way out of this autocratic, fascist nightmare. Thank you for doing everything you can with the power you have in the minority. We also need to take any actions that help distance ourselves from the federal government. Impound federal taxes?

betgar.bsky.social•86 days ago

You are making CA proud🙏
God Speed Senator!

firstmaterainier.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you Adam - sending you all the energy I can!!

survivinnotthrivin.bsky.social•86 days ago

And tomorrow, let’s get your constituents to come out!

https://handsoff2025.com/about

fanofwalt.bsky.social•86 days ago

Good steps @schiff.senate.gov & any delay may prove fruitful. But pls don’t leave this crucial treasure for when (if) midterms come—leverage it NOW. Each R vote against a benefit MUST be massively amplified ASAP. Get one focused message; all Dems post/say on TV/etc. Nonstop rhetorical bombardment 💪🏼

zzorgon.bsky.social•86 days ago

When they go to town halls? Not seeing that with my senators.

cepaea.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you, Senator Schiff, for explaining this process so clearly and also why it’s important for health care and education. I’m glad that you and other Democrats will be fighting R attempts to hide what they are doing. As you say, make them own it!

janeintj.bsky.social•86 days ago

Senator, I suggest you call the makers of Schoolhouse Rock and get them to explain this. Assuming it’s explainable.

adria88.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you for this explanation and for the time you took to make this video.
You are a great teacher.
May the force be with you.

boatertom.bsky.social•86 days ago

Tax cuts for the rich paid for by Trump Tariffs - taxes.

Felon47 and his merry wankers will give working Americans a tax cut on the second Tuesday of next week…

discofornow.bsky.social•86 days ago

Every day you should try to impeach each and every traitor in government. Every fucking day. GOP won't back you, but it will force them to reveal who's side they're on.

coconutlizard.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you, Adam Schiff for all you do for America

lindarethwisch.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you, Senator Schiff! 🙏❤️

skjolaas.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you. I really appreciate your videos!

linda-castro.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you for cosponsoring the amendment put forward by Sens. Hickenlooper and Heinrich. Thank you for opposing public land sales being included in budget reconciliation!

swan4209.bsky.social•86 days ago

Senator Schiff - Thank you for making this video. In this crazy time it’s so important for people to be able to understand all the arcane details that are part of the Congressional processes. Good luck tonight! @ezralevin.bsky.social @leahgreenberg.bsky.social

debaurah.bsky.social•86 days ago

Good. Hold them accountable! In black and white or it didn't happen. Not that MAGA cares about details, but at least it will be in the records.

attikusfinch.bsky.social•86 days ago

I want you to pretend an asteroid is about to hit the planet and the only way to save us is to go on Fox and the rest of right wing media to tell MAGA. Get your people all over right wing media. Because an asteroid would be less painful than what is happening to the entire globe now.

lindayoung164.bsky.social•86 days ago

Crossing my fingers and praying that the 20 GOP who are against this somehow help to stop it.

dirk-straun.bsky.social•86 days ago

Do Republicans realize with millions more unemployed there will be far less tax revenue, and with a recession looming even more without jobs? If they do & still want to give it to the rich, just start swinging. Let's end this.

gsuter031.bsky.social•86 days ago

It's gotta be done to win back our Democracy!! Thank you!🇺🇸

beth-sue.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you. Tell the felon and his GOP lackeys to keep their fingers out of the till.

elfonshelf.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you, Senator. Make the Republicans be on the record for all the damage they are doing to the American people.

mebeforr.bsky.social•86 days ago

We,Not rocket science. Very simple. if this continue, America's credibility is gone. China or Trump, which faster break down...

Thank you Sen. Schiff for that concise description. Thank you and all Dem. Senators for the effort. Many prayers.

Why!!! Would republicans give our country away???

andrianlola.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you senator

forsaken61453.bsky.social•86 days ago

Voting,
why,
unless you can disrupt the process,
your vote is worthless,

karenlynnsd.bsky.social•86 days ago

I’ve been wondering, with all the govt workers “downsized”, are there any numbers for a total of how many and what the unemployment rate is at now?
Seems like he’s good at making charts how about supposed total dollars saved along with total people put out of work.

muddles1968.bsky.social•86 days ago

National unemployment rate? Today 4.2% up from 4.1%
Fed workers fired in March are not fully accounted but will be next month.
Also seems fluid right now bc some are being rehired or brought back. Lots of chaos

karenlynnsd.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thanks!

chinacatblue.bsky.social•86 days ago

Please save Medicaid, snap, and housing🤍💙❤️

Take the top 2% at 45%

raging-dee.bsky.social•86 days ago

Please find a way to make them vote for tariffs. If money from tariffs is part of balancing the budget, we need a Dem amendment against tariffs. Make Republicans own the misery that we-the-people are about to live through.

chrisl2.bsky.social•86 days ago

Hang in there. Object with passion. We’re with you!

steltloper.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thanks for keeping sane!

sonjadieterich.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you for giving your best on behalf of us Californians.

maclela.bsky.social•86 days ago

Why is it that the ultra rich do not want to pay taxes (support ) to the very nation that enabled them to be successful ? The laws and freedoms of our country helped them to make their riches and protect them.

slipperycookie.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you for taking the time to make that! It was engaging and educational.

4dognight.bsky.social•86 days ago

This wins post of the day. 🏆 Informative, educational, inspired, and you brought receipts.
More like this please.
And thank you.

mrsissy.bsky.social•86 days ago

How about an update please on how much tax’s will increase for everyone else?

clear-mirror.bsky.social•86 days ago

May you all have the stamina and focus of @booker.senate.gov

shoulderoforion.bsky.social•86 days ago

i do not envy you, senator schiff, not being given a majority to actually pass legislation that we need, or stop legislation which will ruin us all, all while, democrats pillory you for not "doing something". you're a good man, adam. thanks for showing up for us, when we didn't show up for america

hoffnagel.bsky.social•86 days ago

Yeah. Off the shoulder of Orion. Well done.

whodoyouboohootoo.bsky.social•86 days ago

whodoyouboohootoo.bsky.social•86 days ago

3rd times the charm ☘️

patulsaok.bsky.social•86 days ago

I think all receipts should look like this:

Bread. 4.00
Tariff. 1.00

Milk. 3.00
Tariff. .75

Total. 8.75

Thank you for shopping at Trumps World

Now we're talking! Go get 'em!

blondie811.bsky.social•86 days ago

Narcissistic authoritarian sociopath wannabe king is bankrupting the government by dismantling, weakening it and global economy so he can have COMPLETE CONTROL. Sending us to concentration camps like they did the Jews and Japanese.

blueistheonlyway.bsky.social•86 days ago

I think we should create suicide circles for those of us who don’t want to die alone, but refuse to live through this bullsh*t!

cheri03.bsky.social•86 days ago

Thank you.
