Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade decision—and over three years since the Supreme Court stripped it away. I sat down with Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York President and CEO Michelle Casey to talk about what that means for our country.

We need to end Citizens United, limit the influence of special interests, and end the era of dark money in politics. It’s been 16 years since the Citizens United decision weakened our democracy by putting corporations over people.

The Republican Stop Insider Trading Act falls short. It fails to hold elected officials accountable and does nothing to rebuild public trust.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 20(source)

This culture of corruption has gone on long enough. We need to ban congressional stock trading. As the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'm proud to stand with @sewell.house.gov, @normajtorres.bsky.social, and @repjuliejohnson.bsky.social to demand real accountability.

Trump says Netflix-Warner Bros. deal could be a 'problem' and he will be involved in approval

Netflix said Friday it would purchase Warner Bros. Discovery's film studio, HBO and streaming service.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 20(source)

The "Stop Insider Trading Act" put forth by my Republican colleagues does nothing to stop Trump's self-dealing actions. We need real change that restores trust in our government.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 18(source)

When politicians trade stocks, they erode public trust. A collapse in public trust has serious consequences for our nation.

Rochester is certainly tuned in today as the Buffalo Bills take on the Broncos! We've got your back, Buffalo. Go Bills!

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 16(source)

Donald Trump promised to "drain the swamp." He has done anything but.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 16(source)

Governor Hochul's State of the State made clear what’s at stake. As the Trump admin. freezes federal funding for NYS child care, her commitment to expanding affordable childcare for families matters more than ever. I'm grateful for her leadership.

Affordability, safety, immigration at the center of N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul's State of the State address

Hochul laid out plans to move New York toward universal child care, and restrict 3-D printed ghost guns in the state.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 15(source)

Donald Trump's threats to strip federal funding from sanctuary cities and states is un-American. Mr. President, you cannot come to Rochester and tell us how to run our community. Stay out.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 15(source)

My priority is a real ban on trading individual stocks for Congress, the President, and the Supreme Court, not more of the same. Read more:

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE LEADS EFFORT TO BAN STOCK TRADING IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle, top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, called out House Republicans for failing to adequately address corruption in our government. D...

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 15(source)

Our government is not trusted by our own citizens. We need real changes, like a real congressional stock trading ban, to start restoring trust. The Republicans' Stock Trading bill is just more Washington fake fixes. It does nothing.

Without ACA premium tax credits, families everywhere will face unaffordable premium increases. We passed an extension of these credits in the House, we need Senate Republicans to act quickly and join us in protecting access to care for millions of Americans.

Initial Obamacare Enrollment Drops by 1.4 Million

The Trump administration is once again abandoning people in crisis. These programs save lives. Pulling the rug out from under people struggling with addiction or mental illness is devastating and cruel. This funding must be restored immediately.

Trump administration sends letter wiping out addiction, mental health grants

The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services. The cuts could total as much as $2 billion.

Congratulations to the Monroe Red Jackets football team on their historic NYS Class B State Championship win. This team showed us what is possible when talent meets determination and when hard work rises above the challenges you face.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 14(source)

When career prosecutors resign rather than follow corrupt orders, that tells you all you need to know. Renee Nicole Good's family has been through enough. This kind of cruelty has no place in our government.

Six Prosecutors Quit Over Push to Investigate ICE Shooting Victim’s Widow

The Trump administration’s attempt to intimidate Fed Chair Jerome Powell is a blatant abuse of power and it puts real families at risk.
