We need more clean energy, yet the Trump administration’s decision to cancel more than $7.5B in funding will have a devastating impact on the Pacific Northwest. We cannot afford to walk away from investments that create good-paying jobs, lower energy costs, and move us toward energy independence.

Since Speaker Johnson continues to lie about health care to the American people, let me tell you the truth.

Democrats are not going to rubber stamp Donald Trump's federal budget.

The Affordable Care Act does help millions of Americans and if Republicans fail to extend these tax credits, premiums could go up as much as 300% for some families in Washington State.

My statement on the Trump administration funding cuts to clean energy projects.

I will not support Trump’s radical, partisan budget that hurts the American people and could TRIPLE the cost of health care for some families in our district.

30,880 people in Washington's Ninth District will lose health care because of Republican cuts to Apple Health.

Health care costs will rise 19,000 people in Washington's Ninth District if Republicans let health care tax credits expire.

Today is Yom Kippur, the most holy day in the Jewish calendar. I hope all those observing the Day of Atonement in the Ninth District have an easy fast. G’mar Chatima Tova.

My offices are open and working to help those in WA-09 during the government shutdown. Please contact my D.C. or Kent office with any questions.

A family of four earning $64,000 will see premiums rise by $2,571 if the GOP allows health care tax credits to expire. That's a 329% increase.

A 60 year old couple earning $82,000 will see premiums rise by $14,875 the GOP allows health care tax credits to expire. That's a 237% increase.

If Republicans let these health care tax credits expire, they’re putting 19,000 people’s health care at risk in Washington’s Ninth District – and millions of folks across the country will feel the impacts as early as this month.

I'm fighting alongside House Democrats to protect health care tax credits. See how much your premium would be if Republicans allow them to expire: www.kff.org/interactive/...

My statement on the Republican Government Shutdown.

My office will remain open to provide necessary constituent services to those in WA-09 during this Republican-led shutdown. If you have any questions or concerns about this shutdown and are wondering how it may impact federal services, please visit my shutdown website for more information:

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that? MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

Republicans control the House, the Senate, & the White House. It's their job to pass a budget that addresses Americans' needs. Instead, they shut the government down. They would rather shut the government down than work with Democrats to protect health care and lower costs.

"Sec Hegseth summoning hundreds of general officers & flag officers from around the world ... on the eve of a Republican-led government shutdown to promote a regressive culture war is a staggering & unacceptable waste of time, money & resources." - @adamsmith.house.gov and @houlahan.house.gov

Far-right extremists refuse to work with Democrats to keep the government open. This could lead to national park closures, federal employee furloughs, and transportation delays. I've compiled some resources to support you during a Far-Right Shutdown.

Part of affordable housing is maintaining fair housing and understanding that the history of this country includes marginalization of groups, redlining, and racist practices when it comes to neighborhoods.

The average wait time for subsidized housing is 27 months. No American family should have to wait over two years for a safe place to live. We must invest in more affordable housing to support our communities and ensure everyone has a roof over their head.

Food stamps have supported working-class families for nearly five decades, ensuring access to basic nutrition. But now, Republicans have voted to slash food assistance for 42 million Americans—including 16 million children and 1.2 million veterans.

This extreme, violent rhetoric from Mr. Gillette has no place in American political dialogue. I strongly condemn his statement. Advocating for political violence is incredibly dangerous and must be condemned by all members of Congress, and everybody in our country, in the strongest possible terms.

Freedom of the press is one of the cornerstones of our democracy, and it must not be compromised by political pressure. Sinclair’s decision to ban Jimmy Kimmel from its stations under pressure from Donald Trump’s Administration is censorship.

A year ago, I introduced the bipartisan bill to streamline TSA security clearance process for transportation workers.

“The relationship between the United States and the People’s Republic of China is one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world. Productive outcomes and candid dialogue between our two countries ... benefit both of our countries and the world.

Interested middle and high school students can learn more about the Congressional App Challenge at our online event next Tuesday! Email [email protected] to RSVP, and see the below flyer for more information.

I am alarmed outraged by the improper release of Rep. Sherrill’s personal info. DoD and NARA have an obligation to protect the privacy of current and former service members.

The Trump administration is looking to rewrite our nation's history by strategically changing educational markers, monuments, and memorials in our National Park System.

We need to give the American people what they want. Release the Epstein files.

The conversation around mental health has been growing over the past decade, building on access and availability of resources for those who are struggling.

Thinking of those impacted by the horrific shooting in Dallas this morning. Violence is never the answer and can never be justified by any means. We must lower the temperature in this country and commit to resolving our differences through dialogue—not through bloodshed.

Congratulations to Renton’s own Ino Reyes Jr. for serving as Seattle Police’s Chief for a Day. Ino has just entered remission after a hard-fought battle with leukemia, and I’m glad that he was honored by our community and local law enforcement.

In the aftermath of World War II, many Japanese Americans faced severe discrimination, and it's important that we confront and learn from that history. Thank you to the NVC Memorial Hall for welcoming me — and for being part of the Ninth District.

I’ve introduced the Community and Technical College Investment Act to offer tuition-free community and technical college and expanded wraparound support services. Post-secondary degrees cost far too much for the average working family, on top of the everyday living expenses.

Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov, leading a bipartisan congressional delegation to the People's Republic of China, had a productive dialogue with HE Lifeng, Vice Premier of the State Council of the PRC, and DONG Jun, Minister of Defense of the PRC, on the delegation's second day.

I spoke to NEWSMAX about I'm standing with Democrats to secure health care for Americans in the budget resolution.

This is false. Yesterday's so-called health press conference led by President Trump and Secretary Robert Kennedy was a litany of lies meant to stoke fear and anti-vax sentiments into the American people.

Wishing all those celebrating in the Ninth District and happy and healthy new year. Shanah Tovah!

The Big Ugly Bill slashed access to healthcare, which has since begun to ripple into other areas of Americans’ lives. If you can no longer use Medicaid benefits, you’re forced to pay out of pocket—and may struggle to afford housing.

House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov, leading a bipartisan congressional delegation to the People's Republic of China, had a productive dialogue with LI Qiang, the Premier of the State Council People's Republic of China, on the delegation's first day.

The Republican budget will make health care dramatically more expensive for over a million Americans. We shouldn't have to acquiesce to Donald Trump's budget that makes our country weaker.

The Trump Administration cut food assistance for millions in the Big Ugly Bill. Now, the Trump Administration is trying to cover their tracks by cancelling a study that monitors hunger and food security -- allowing them to pretend that food insecurity isn't getting worse.

HASC Dems RM @adamsmith.house.gov, CEC Chair @repmarktakano.bsky.social, Co-Chair @repericsorensen.bsky.social, Vice Chair @sarajacobs.house.gov, & @houlahan.house.gov are leading the #FitToServe Act to ensure trans people can serve in the military, including by explicitly ensuring access to care.

The Trump administration is looking to access Washington voter registration to justify the President’s false election fraud claims. Your information deserves to stay private, and our elections will remain secure in Washington state.

Proud to see this work in Seattle to provide alternative responses to 911 calls.

My statement on vote regarding the resolution honoring Charlie Kirk.

A free and independent press is a cornerstone of our democracy.

Caught up with @adamsmith.house.gov who sits on @democrats-armedservices.house.gov to break down this year’s defense bill. Spoiler Alert: Our military deserves better than to be used as Trump’s political pawn.
