Today I joined staff and students at Vertus High School for a tour of their school and to discuss the work they're doing to prepare the next generation for success. Education gives young people in our community the opportunity to thrive, and I'm proud to support their work.

In a matter of days, millions of Americans will face increased health insurance premiums that could price them out of coverage. Republicans don't seem to be concerned about this, but it should be our top priority.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 7(source)

Today is the 84th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. We honor and remember those who paid the ultimate price in defense of our nation that day. May we never forget their courage, their honor, or their sacrifice.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 6(source)

Grateful to this year's distinguished interview panel for our service academy nomination process. It is my honor to nominate students from our community each year for entry to our prestigious military service academies.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 6(source)

Today, in 2019, the House passed the Voting Rights Advancement Act. The Senate failed to pass this key legislation and today, we're still seeing attacks on our electoral system. As top Dem on the Committee on House Administration, I'm fighting to protect every eligible voter's fundamental right.

Donald Trump's decision to cut cancer research funding is unacceptable. We should be investing in lifesaving research, and positioning the United States as a leader, not running from a day when we could actually be free of cancer. Hear my conversation on @SiriusXM.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 5(source)

Today, we recognize the 70th anniversary of the start of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and honor the legacy & courage of these activists. As top Dem on the Committee on House Administration, I know our fight for justice is not over, and I'll keep fighting to ensure equitable access to the ballot box.

Reckless tariffs have had a profound impact throughout upstate New York, including in Rochester. I talked about how this is hurting our community on @meidastouch.com

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 4(source)

This is the most corrupt administration we have seen in United States History. Our government is meant to serve the people, not billionaire campaign donors.

Trump invites America's wealthiest to fund his presidency

Private donors are bankrolling Trump projects and policies on an unprecedented scale.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 4(source)

Costs continue to rise, and more and more hardworking families are unable to make ends meet. Tackling the affordability crisis has to be our top priority. We need to bring down daily costs and protect access to affordable healthcare, and it can't wait.

Americans are feeling the pain of the affordability crisis: ‘There’s not any wiggle room’

The costs of groceries, housing, childcare, education and healthcare have become intolerable to many

The Trump administration has not been transparent about their strikes on boats in the Caribbean. President Trump claims to be focused on combating drug trafficking; instead, he's chosen to pardon a convicted drug lord.

It was great to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our outstanding DC fall interns today. Many years ago, I began my career in public service as an intern—it is a valuable and rewarding experience. I know these talented students will go on to do extraordinary things!

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 2(source)

Without investments in research America will fall behind as global innovation leader, and our children will pay the price.

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine

A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 2(source)

How could a president who continues to profit millions of dollars off his elected office possibly understand the affordability crisis Americans are facing? Donald Trump can't.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 2(source)

The most important title in a democracy isn't President or Congressman—it's citizen. It's on all of us to stay engaged and stand up for the future we want to see.

I'll be live on @cnn.com This Morning with @audiecornish.bsky.social at 6:45am tomorrow. Tune in!

As Frederick Douglass said, "The life of a nation is secure only when the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous." My priority is bringing those values back to our government.

On Rosa Parks Day, we remember the courage of a civil rights icon who fought tirelessly to ensure an America for all. As Ranking Member of the Committee on House Administration, I'm working to carry on that fight by protecting every eligible voter's access to the ballot box.
