Excellent overview! I would make this available to MeidasTouch, Adam Mockler, Roland Martin, Bryan Tyler Cohen and The Bulwark for increased coverage. Brilliant staging! Thank You Senator.
Stay the course. Defend the constitution. May your fellow Democratic colleagues show the same courage. Bernie Sanders is reaching Red States. Democrats should take notice. Crowds are gathering . Democrats should follow suit. Be brave. Save democracy every ethical & legal way possible.
As we have seen recently, constituents DO NOT like it when their Representatives don’t have the courage to hold a Town Hall and meet w/ them in person.
In my experience, such representatives lose their constituents’ respect and they are forever after seen as COWARDS.
After hearing about the GOP directing their members not to hold Town Halls, I was just thinking that this was an amazing opportunity for Dems to educate and hopefully attract support from angry red state/district voters/citizens!!
Krysten Sinema never held any Town Halls as an AZ Senator, and the AZ Dem Party censured her when she voted NO on several key pieces of legislation, and refused to consider terminating the filibuster. After that, she couldn’t even run as an independent in AZ
Please hold the line! Do not cave! And it's not even about the tax cuts any longer. It's about privitizing the government. It's a hostile takeover by an unelected billionaire federal contractor and campaign donor.
Thank you, Senator Schiff, for doing this. It is truly a service. It will help me (and others) better understand what is going on. Very much appreciate the overview.
Thank you. We’ve been asking for daily updates so it’s nice that you’re finally communicating with us. Also perhaps you need to call out the GOP all day everyday like Rep John Larson. This is NOT business as usual!!! Shame on the GOP and shame on any Democrat that voted in favor of Trump or anything else!!!!
Thank you! I agree with this decision and as Robert Hubble says, -Finally someone in the Dem party is talking directly to Americans and telling us what the GOP really is doing.
Keep this up! Main stream media is failing us; so skip them. Talk to us. How can we help?
Thank you, Senator Schiff. This was so helpful. And you have the right message...if the government shuts down, it is the GOP that owns it, not the Dems. Keep saying that LOUDLY! And yes, they are already shutting it down in pieces.
This is a spot on explanation of the CR events of the day that we all needed. We need a Democrat who knows and understands the workings of Congress to give us the facts as part of a shadow cabinet many have been asking for. I picked up a link to this from Robert Hubbell's Today's Edition which is about the first thing I read every morning. Thank you so much Senator Schiff!
Please, please, please do NOT back down. Do not hide behind your ability to make it look like you resisted - but didn't actually. Do NOT let this be passed by democrats - or we will be in far, far more trouble than we are now. A SHUT DOWN is BETTER than allowing them to move on with this.
Thank you for taking the time to produce this very thorough explanation of the catastrophic chaos being created by the Trusk administration. And thank you for continuing to be a voice of sanity and thoughtful opposition to the ongoing nightmare they have caused.
Senator Schiff, thank you so much. This is the clearest, most comprehensive explanation of what is happening that I have ever heard. Unfortunately, the major news outlets are confusing us more than helping with their telegraphic language and over simplifications.
Please encourage your colleagues to have newsletters like this in Substack. We need to hear from them and see leadership in the face of this assault on our democracy.
Thank you for this messaging putting the onus where it belongs. Please do NOT go the way of an amendment which would be defeated. That gives them the keys to the house and they steal everything and destroy our democracy. Stay the course and VOTE NO. Let THEM shut down the government. And please pass this message along to leader Schumer, I don’t trust him right now.

This is how it is done, Senator Schiff! Keep up the excellent communication! We need more of the same! Thank you!

Wasn’t Rep Larson magnificent? We need that kind of fire (along with his clarity!)

Please let them shut it down until they let go of the idea of cutting Medicaid and social security!!!!

Thank you for this update, Senator. It helps a lot so we can understand the chaos just a bit more. Greatly appreciated 🙏

More like this, please.
