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

About 11,000 refugees, asylees and other lawful immigrants in Washington will lose Apple Health insurance coverage starting Thursday, part of H.R.1. changes.

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.

I’ve introduced the Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act with Rep. Jayapal because every individual deserves to be treated with basic respect, regardless of immigration status.

Special thanks to our local representatives for sitting down with me yesterday for an immigration round table. We must work together to make sure than ICE detention facilities uphold the rights of all detainees, including legal representation, medical care, general hygiene, and safe entry.

Taking steps to incentivize and support immigrants entering the health care field can help reverse the trend of brain waste in our country, increase the health care workforce, and expand quality, accessible, and culturally competent care for our communities.

The nursing and allied health workforces face critical shortages, with up to 200,000 additional nurses needed each year. I’ve introduced the Immigrants in Nursing and Allied Health Act to help break down barriers to ensure immigrants can fill these positions and build our health care workforce.

You're not picking the best ultimate fighter. You need somebody who knows how to use tech, drones, and counter-drone capability. When you narrow that down to just people who fit some sort of John Wayne vision, that is going to harm our military capability. - @adamsmith.house.gov on @cnn.com

Thanks to Washington Trails Association, Washington Department of Natural Resources, and UW School of Environmental and Forest Sciences for joining me at an Environmental Roundtable in Seattle. I remain committed to backing our public lands and working across our state to restore forest fire damage.

As the Trump administration touts kicking 6 million people off of this food support, know that this is in no way helping our low-income neighbors—it's leaving them hungry and vulnerable.

For almost 50 years, millions of Americans have relied on food assistance or SNAP benefits to provide necessary resources to put food on the table for their families.

The Trump administration fundamentally doesn't believe in the rules of representative democracy.

Trump wants to end our representative democracy and replace it with an autocratic form of government.

Last week, House Republicans decided that campaigning is more important than lowering costs for American families, causing them to cancel votes until after Election Day.

A new nonpartisan report just confirmed Trump's Iran war has cost roughly $40 billion over the last six months. Republicans in Washington refuse to use your taxpayer dollars to fund important social programs, while instead funneling them to pay for yet another war.

Trump aspires to be Kim Jong Un or President Xi or Putin to lead a country where he's the absolute dictator.

Together, these bills invest in students, strengthen our workforce, and help more families achieve economic stability.

Rep. Adam Smith @adamsmith.house.gov · 23/09/2026

Too many students are being priced out of higher education or graduating high school without a clear path to a career. Last year, I introduced two bills to expand opportunities for students to access affordable higher education, gain in-demand skills, and build stronger pathways into the workforce.

China and the U.S. are driving the conversation about AI, and it's important that President Trump and President Xi discuss controlling it in a better, more intelligent way during today's summit.

This administration continues to illegally try to infringe on Washington State's constitutional right to run their own elections. Washington will continue to push back against accessing private voter data and ensure election security throughout our state.

Wilber Garces Perez was shot in the back by an ICE agent in Austin. Now he's in detention with the bullet still in his body. Today, 100+ Members of Congress are demanding that ICE get him medical care, stop trying to deport a key witness, and immediately release the video footage.

There are multiple concerns about AI.

Thousands of people who were adopted into loving American families live in limbo through no fault of their own. I’m working to close this gap, keep families together, and grant citizenship to adoptees who deserve the same rights as any other citizen.

0101

A year ago, I introduced the Protect Adoptees and American Families Act alongside Rep. Bacon, @hirono.senate.gov, and Senator Collins. This legislation would grant citizenship to international adoptees who were legally adopted in our country as children, but lack citizenship due to a legal loophole.

Now is the time for the two most powerful nations to help guide us towards a more peaceful world.

This crooked, backwards administration is looking to manipulate facts and mislead the American public. This is yet another step towards the unlawful takeover of our representative democracy, with President Trump at the helm.

Not only has he barred CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House grounds, but he did so while also moving forward with the introduction of his own television channel.

Thousands of Americans already work day in and day out to expand educational and economic opportunities for our most vulnerable, but there is room for everyone in the organization.

On September 21, 1993, AmeriCorps was founded to help our neighbors around the country through service and volunteering. I’ve introduced legislation to increase the male participation in AmeriCorps, setting great examples for young people and benefitting our communities.

Trump has put us back on the path to a 1970 stagflation situation, and we cannot let inflation get out of control.
