Rep. Adam Smith

Trump is leading an all-out assault on representative democracy in favor for a Putin-like autocracy.

HASC Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov talks with Jen Rubin at @contrariannews.org about the vast number of possibilities for oversight in the House Armed Services Committee in the coming Congress, including "all the illegal activities ... but stopping the Iran war would be job one."

The cost of fuel oil is up 74% in the last year, tacking onto energy bills across the country. President Trump promised to lower prices, yet families are having to foot higher prices.

Gas is too expensive nationwide, and it’s more than a little price to pay.

Trump is an unbelievable threat to this country.

"The president is siding with a brutal dictator ... . We have to rally support broadly to stop what the president is doing, not just with Ukraine but in a whole host of other places." - @democrats-armedservices.house.gov Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov

We can't wait two more years. Trump has gotten us into a crisis. The only way out of the mess he’s created is to get him out of office. Rep. Adam Smith (WA-9) calls for Donald Trump’s impeachment. Put pressure on your legislators to join the call at ImpeachTrumpAgain.org

The President is disconnected from reality.

Trump’s claims of being a master negotiator are just a cover for the fact that he cares more about aligning with dictators than standing up for Americans.

"Trump Is Full Putin" - A new discussion with @adamsmith.house.gov "That's what I tried to tell my Republican colleagues on the call here. Don't think of this as some tactical error. This is a strategic plan to back Putin over Zelenskyy."

Listen to @jenrubin.bsky.social’s interview with @adamsmith.house.gov where he covers everything from the dangers of Trump’s alignment with dictators, to America’s role in the Middle East.

The only thing that's going to get a peace deal is to put pressure on Russia, yet President Trump continues to put pressure on Ukraine.

I visited United Way of King County President to speak with their team about recent work to bring a better future to our community. By establishing access to housing, food security, educational opportunities, and financial stability, United Way is building a stronger foundation for our neighbors.

Thanks to Kandelia and Seattle World School for giving me a tour of their facility in Seattle. Great to see the programs and services you’re implementing to support our immigrant and refugee families across our community. Looking forward to coming back.

My statement on West Bank settler violence.

“The United States Congress stands strongly and unequivocally with Ukraine. Russia's continued campaign of war crimes and its slaughtering of innocent civilians, aided by the Trump Administration’s pro-Putin agenda, demands urgent and forceful action from Congress to reaffirm that support."

Earlier today, my district office received a suspicious letter containing a powdery substance, like others sent to Congressional offices across the country. My staff has been safely evacuated, and I thank the Kent Police Department and the Renton Fire Department for their quick action.

Ranking Members @meeks.house.gov, @adamsmith.house.gov and @jahimes.bsky.social issued a joint statement following today's call between President Zelenskyy and a bipartisan group of Members of Congress:

Trump is both turning his back on Ukraine and doing nothing to address our nation's energy crisis.

My statement on President Trump's executive order waiving Russian sanctions.

The only way to end this war is to remove Donald Trump from office.

During October, we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to reflect on research, prevention and treatment, while supporting the hundreds of thousands of women impacted by this disease. Let this be a reminder to schedule your regular checkups of you and your loved ones.

The American people are tired of President Trump's awful policies, grift, and corruption.

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.

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." - @democrats-armedservices.house.gov Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov

“In the modern era, it is hard to keep a war confined … before it continues to spiral out of control.” - @democrats-armedservices.house.gov Ranking Member @adamsmith.house.gov on the fallout from Trump’s disastrous and ongoing war against Iran

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.

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.

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