Social Security is a promise millions of Americans have earned through a lifetime of work. It is more important than ever for Congress to take action. I'll keep fighting to protect Social Security and strengthen the security families depend on.

Social Security retirement trust fund will run dry in 2032 unless Congress acts | CNN Politics

Tens of millions of retirees and other Americans could see smaller monthly Social Security checks in six years if lawmakers don’t act to shore up the program’s finances, according to an annual report ...

Under the Trump Administration we've lost tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs and unemployment continues to rise. These are the facts, despite what Trump likes to believe. Americans deserve better.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 12(source)

President Trump promised to end wars, not start them. His lies dragged our country into an illegal war in Iran, where we have spent billions of dollars that could have been used to help hard working American families.

Time and again, the Supreme Court has sided with special interests and corporations over the American people. Unacceptable. My Anti-Corruption & Democracy Reform Task Force has been hard at work with people like Marge from @peoplefor.bsky.social finding new ways to restore sanity to our courts.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 12(source)

Republicans want to impose new work requirements on health care while cutting the programs that help people find jobs. That's not fiscal responsibility. It's cruelty. @democrats-appropriations.house.gov are fighting back.

Samantha with @reproductivefreedomforall.org is right: without meaningful Supreme Court reform, we cannot restore Americans' reproductive freedom.  My Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force is exploring every option to reign in this rogue court and preserve Americans' fundamental rights.

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE OFFERS AMENDMENT TO RESTRICT CONSTRUCTION OF NEW ICE, CBP FACILITIES

Earlier this year, DHS began constructing a detention facility in Rochester without notifying local officials or meaningfully engaging the public. The facility is being built in the same federal building as a daycare center. Watch my remarks on this issue here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r9t...

The Congressional Baseball Game is a great tradition which brings members together in support of causes that make a difference. While I'm not playing this year, I'll be rooting on my colleagues and celebrating the spirit of bipartisanship that makes this event so special. Play ball!

Voters deserve transparency, accountability, and the truth. That’s why I authored the AI Transparency in Elections Act: to require clear disclaimers when political ads use AI-generated images, audio, or video.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 10(source)

This is exactly why we need strong guardrails around AI in our elections. Using artificial intelligence to fabricate a candidate’s voice or likeness is deceptive, dangerous, and designed to confuse voters. I stand with Rep. Balint and others who are targeted by these tactics.

A political opponent recently posted a deepfake video of me on social media. It was generated using AI and fabricated my voice and image to put words in my mouth. While it represents a new - and dangerous - low, it was not unpredictable. (1/2)

NEWS: Rep. Becca Balint Responds to Deepfake Video Published on Social Media, Calls for Legislative Action

Swipe for Rep. Balint’s statement on the matter and info on the NO FAKES Act, her legislation that would confront this issue head-on.

Rep. Balint Statement on Deepfake Video

“This ad is offensive and a dangerous example of what happens when AI is used to deceive voters. Fabricating my voice and image to put words in my mouth is a new low. Free speech is a cornerstone of our democracy, but impersonation and deception are not. This was also predictable and exactly why I introduced the NO FAKES Act—to give people protections against unauthorized AI replicas of their voice and likeness and bring greater transparency and accountability to AI-generated content.”

The NO FAKES Act

Protects YOUR voice and visual likeness
Addresses the threat of digital replicas created without YOUR consent through AI
Empowers YOU to take action against bad actors who create, distribute, or profit from unauthorized digital replicas
Defends artists, creators, and anyone who uses the internet

We owe it to every worker to close the wage gap and build an economy where hard work is valued fairly and equally.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 10(source)

63 years after the Equal Pay Act became law, the promise of equal pay for equal work remains unfinished. Too many women, especially women of color, still earn less on average than their male counterparts.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 10(source)

The cost-of-living crisis is real, and working families are paying the price. That's why my @democrats-appropriations.house.gov colleagues & I are fighting back against Republican proposals to cut health care and make life even more expensive. Americans deserve lower costs and greater opportunity.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 10(source)

Today, @democrats-appropriations.house.gov are marking up the Homeland Security funding bill. We're fighting to hold ICE and CBP accountable by requiring judicial warrants, respecting civil rights, and operating with full transparency. Watch live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dZxpfNt5ec

The Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force met with groups like @brennancenter.org today to discuss reforms for a Supreme Court that too often appears more responsive to special interests and billionaires than to the American people.
