The history of this country has been, from its founding, based on the belief that the people get to choose their leaders. The Voting Rights Act is under attack as this Supreme Court tries to take the vote away from so many people. We're not going to let them do that.

Apprenticeships are a proven investment in growing our workforce, strengthening our economy, and setting our students up for success. It's exciting to see these students take advantage of this pre-apprenticeship program as they work toward their futures!

It's no secret, Donald Trump engages in a pattern of corrupt bullying, weaponizing the Justice Department against those who dare to call him out. That's not how democracy is meant to work.

Chuck Mangione was a world-class musician whose unique sound carried Rochester's spirit all around the globe. He leaves us with a legacy that will keep our city swinging for generations, and it was an honor to recognize him on the House floor.

Trump's economy is not working for the American people. The only people his policies help are the billionaires he caters to.

U.S. economy adds 64,000 jobs in November, unemployment rate at 4-year high

Hiring slowed last month alongside a jump in the jobless rate, a sign of persistent weakness in the U.S. job market.

Cancer patients are already fighting unimaginable battles, forcing them to question how they'll possibly be able to afford insurance next year is simply cruel. We need to protect American healthcare, and we need to do it now.

My heart is with Australia’s Jewish community as they grieve this weekend’s devastating attack. We mourn with you and stand united against antisemitism. On this first night of Hanukkah, we hold fast to the light even in moments of deep sorrow.

Families are being forced to choose between essential healthcare and putting food on the table. We've got to bring down the cost of the healthcare delivery.

I am devastated by the shooting at Brown University. My prayers are with the students, faculty, staff, and families affected by this senseless violence. I’m grateful to the first responders who acted swiftly in the face of such tragedy.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 13(source)

@housedemocrats.bsky.social have been saying this since October, we cannot wait to address the healthcare crisis. Families who go to work every day are facing health insurance premium increases that will price them out of care. That's unacceptable.
