The House of Representatives has been shut down since September 19. We can't reopen the government if the Republican Party refuses to show up to work and negotiate with Democrats.

It is imperative that Congress come back to session to negotiate an end to this government shutdown. Once you hit Nov. 1, the health care crisis will deepen and it will be much harder to fix.
After promising that SNAP operations would continue in a shutdown, it's time for this administration to deliver on their word.
I stood alongside my House Democratic colleagues to urge the USDA to use the available funds for November SNAP benefits to make sure families get the food they need on their tables.
SNAP serves 42 million people across our nation, including 16 million children, 8 million seniors, 4 million people with disabilities, and 1.2 million veterans.
If Congress does not act now, a family of four in WA-09 earning $64,000 a year will see their annual premiums rise by 329%.
I’m fighting to save your health care and reopen the government.
We're talking about health care costs rising for millions of Americans. The Republican response is to shut down the House of Representatives and refuse to negotiate.

Nearly 78,252 federal workers in Washington state face furloughs or missed paychecks under the Republican shutdown. This is straining household budgets and weakening local economies.
Republicans need to come back to the table, do their jobs, and deliver real solutions for the
American people.
Only one more week submit your app, website, robot, or other design to the Congressional App Challenge. Turn in your work by October 30, 2025. For more information, visit adamsmith.house.gov/students/congressional-app-challenge.
15 million people could be kicked off health care, thousands of federal workers are working without pay, and working-class folks are at risk of losing critical food assistance.
But the ballroom is the President's top priority.
Democrats are trying to save health insurance for millions of Americans. What are Republicans trying to do?
My Democratic colleagues and I remain ready to work today to reopen the government with a bipartisan agreement that protects health care and delivers real solutions for the American people. It’s time for Republicans to put politics aside, come back to the table, and do their jobs.
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.
Democrats have legitimate objections to the way Republicans and Trump are running the government. If they want our votes to reopen the government, they need to earn them.
There are other things that we could be doing that are important to this country, but Mike Johnson has shut down the United States Congress, and that simply enhances the power of President Trump.

Rep. @adamsmith.house.gov (WA-09) caught "The Double" live at the Kingdome in 1995 and had some déjà vu as the Mariners went to extras in ALDS Game 5 once again 30 years later. New episode of Remember That Game. 👇

Why won't Donald Trump and Mike Johnson negotiate with Democrats to resolve this shutdown?
Yes, the shutdown fight is about the millions of people who could lose their health care and see their costs go up.
But it's also about democracy. It's about standing up to Trump. We need a government that lives up to the Constitution and stands for the American people.
