I have 10 or so good friends who are all Democrats and vegan! Yes, I am very lucky that all my friends are Democrats and 90% are vegan and still working with the last hold out 😊

(He might not drink cow's milk, preferring coconut milk...I know I like it and I'm not vegan).

Adam is a helluva good guy. He has values that I agree with...

Later, Schiff spent six years as an assistant U.S. Attorney in L.A. During that time, he met his wife, Eve Sanderson Schiff — yes, they’re Adam and Eve — and prosecuted Richard Miller, the FBI agent convicted of espionage.

who is a sweetie, generous and kind to others.

The Republicans will pay for this. They know it is coming, but just can't seem to resist making fools of themselves before the public.

I like listening to him on the Stephanie Miller Show.
She has him on, every now and then because he's her congressperson.

It confirms and reinforces my impression of Adam Schiff. He is an extraordinary man and we are fortunate to have him.
