Hapy Indigenous People’s Day to those in WA-09! Our indigenous communities have strong cultural and economic ties to our state, and I thank them for their contributions to Washington.

Thanks to those at @napca.bsky.social for having me at their Medicare Open Enrollment event at the IDIC Filipino Senior Center. It's always important that Washingtonian senior have access to vaccinations, food assistance, and other benefit programs.

ICE continues to execute chaotic, violent, and oppressive operations across the country, displaying an egregious level of incompetence. There must be accountability for the lives lost and the people injured as a result of this rogue organization.

I unequivocally condemn ICE's shooting of a man in New York yesterday. Having a plainclothes officer draw a gun on a vehicle carrying a 5-year-old child in a residential neighborhood is reckless and does absolutely nothing to make our communities safer. People are terrified.

My statement on the need for a negotiated settlement in Iran.

"Calling for a livestream of the execution of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is disturbing and makes a mockery of our legal system. ...

We ... should take the rule of law seriously, not turn it in to a spectacle."

The costs of this war have been tremendous, and Trump's comments only underscore how dangerously out of touch he is with reality.

@adamsmith.house.govOct 8, 2026, 7:44 PM

Trump's remarks this week about Iran taking out Los Angeles and San Diego are deeply disturbing. He called for Iran to "take out" two American cities, a statement that would be unthinkable for any other president to make and further signs of his alarming mental decline and lack of human decency.

I had the chance to stop by El Centro de la Raza’s Lift Zone in Federal Way. They’ve worked with Comcast to provide free WiFi and access to technology to assist working families with job applications, remote learning, schoolwork, and other essential needs. Thanks so much for having me.

A lot of our country's problems are driven by President Trump's sheer awfulness.

@adamsmith.house.govOct 7, 2026, 6:36 PM

I sat down with local leaders for an Energy Infrastructure Roundtable. Folks from @uw-cei.bsky.social, Clean Power Research, Grid Forward, the Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Hub, EDF Power Solutions, and @climatesolutions.org spoke with me about building a greener, more reliable electricity grid.

Further chaos, destruction, and violence is not the answer and will not make Israel safer. Israel must work with the U.S. and partners in the region to bring this conflict to an end and find a way ahead that creates a sustainable, safe, and prosperous future for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

@adamsmith.house.govOct 7, 2026, 2:33 PM

Today marks the third anniversary of the horrific terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023. Over 1,200 men, women and children were brutally killed by Hamas, including 46 U.S. citizens. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones.

Great to welcome Japanese Consul General Hirota to discuss U.S.-Japanese relations and our economic partnerships. Thanks for taking the time.

@adamsmith.house.govOct 5, 2026, 3:11 PM

Happy National Teachers Day to all of our educators in WA-09. Your dedication and kindness motivate young learners in classrooms and raises the next generation of leaders. Thanks for all your work.

Yesterday, almost 11,000 legal residents in Washington lost health insurance because of President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Refugees, asylum-seekers, and other lawful immigrants who rely on Apple Health are more likely to get sicker and increase costs for those remaining in the system.

@adamsmith.house.govOct 2, 2026, 5:42 PM

This is devastating for the health care system across our state.

I will continue to work with our state partners to address ongoing concerns about ICE detention facilities and ensure fair treatment of those in our immigration system.
