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.

30,880 people in Washington's Ninth District will lose health care because of Republican cuts to Apple Health.
Republicans in Congress must return to Washington, D.C., and work with Democrats to protect the millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care or facing unaffordable premiums when open enrollment begins on November 1.
- and they’re now facing premium increases averaging 20%, at a time when household budgets are already stretched thin.
Washingtonians can now see how much their health care costs have increased on Washington Healthplanfinder. More than 288,000 people across the state rely on the Affordable Care Act for coverage —

Three weeks of Republican games. Get back to D.C., protect the health care of your constituents, and end the government shutdown you started.
I joined King 5 to talk about the concerning strikes on boats in the Caribbean. The President of the United States simply deciding that there's somebody that he wants to kill, and killing them without legal justification, is an extraordinary expansion of power and is very dangerous.
Trump would rather negotiate with Hamas, Putin, and North Korea than Democrats.
The Senate has now voted over 10 times on a Republican-backed bill to cut health care for over 2 million Americans. I am fighting against the Trump-led effort to increase annual health insurance costs and improve access to care. 3 weeks in and I’m more dug in than ever.
Democrats will stand up for your fundamental rights during this shutdown fight.
