Great news for Washington's Ninth District. Today, the House of Representatives passed a package that will deliver $6,316,000 in community project funds back to our community in WA-09.
These Community Project Funding investments reflect what our communities are asking for — cleaner water, safer neighborhoods, and more opportunities for young people to succeed. I will continue fighting to ensure federal resources are directed where they can make the greatest local impact.
Success is improving life for those in the working class and leveling the playing field within our society.

It's obvious that Trump's policies have been unpopular for months, and we have to continue to stand up and fight back against them.
Rep. Adam Smith retweeted
"Ukraine continues to inflict massive casualties on the Russian Army and cripple the Russian economy, while U.S. Special Envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff continue to undermine Ukraine’s ability to negotiate a just and lasting settlement in Putin’s brutal and illegal invasion. As if that weren’t bad enough, they are also undermining NATO, the most successful alliance in history. Their parroting of Kremlin talking points on renegotiating European security and possibly pulling back from Eastern Europe is totally unacceptable to the continued viability of NATO and the national security of the United States."

"Pete Hegseth ... has committed impeachable offenses. So, I support going forward impeaching him. But that can't be all we do."

Happy Veterans Day to all of the service members in WA-09. Thank you for your continued dedication to protecting our nation and supporting our military.
We need to move our country forward while holding this administration accountable for its massive corruption.
Happy 251th birthday to @USMC. Thank you to our Marines who work day in and day out with honor, courage and commitment.

On today’s What Next: Every Democrat is talking about lowering costs. But voters do care about corruption—and Congress can actually do something about that. slate.trib.al/f14APHx
We must always stand against hatred and bigotry, and I am deeply appalled by the blatant racism at the Diwali celebration in Seattle. Everyone should be welcome to celebrate their holidays, and I feel for the Hindu Washingtonians who were targeted yesterday.
There is still so much to be done in Congress to lower the price of groceries, pass more affordable housing reform, and denounce President Trump’s foreign wars. It’s time for us to get back to work on passing meaningful legislation for the American people.
Last week, ICE extended a new 10-year contract to the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. This contract was given to the GEO Group, who is profiting off the detention of immigrants in our community. Every detainee deserves the dignity of medical care, basic safety, and hygiene, rather than being a tool to make the wealthy richer.

News: Rep Adam Smith, next chair of House Armed Services Committee, tells me Dems will vote to cut off funding for Trump's Iran war.
"I think it’ll be one of the first things we do," he says.
Critically, he says this will have support of Dem leadership:

.@RepAdamSmith tells @kasie that Stephen Miller's appointment as WH Chief of Staff indicates not only that Trump "basically learned nothing from the election," but it also signals that "it is going to be a very, very difficult time" between the incoming Democratic-controlled Congress and the president.
