Great to join the Boys and Girls Club of Rochester to recognize Christa Construction for their dedication to strengthening our neighborhoods and uplifting Rochester families. I also enjoyed the chance to say a few words about my sister, Gail, and her incredible legacy in the field of construction.

I'm glad to see these baseless indictments dismissed. The Justice Department cannot be used as a tool to punish political opponents. The rule of law depends on it.

Federal judge dismisses indictments against Letitia James and James Comey, saying Lindsey Halligan appointment was unlawful | CNN Politics

A federal judge dismissed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday.

People are sick and tired of watching politicians head to D.C. to get rich while they suffer through an affordability crisis. The American people and their well-being have to be our priority; it's what we were elected to do.

On Friday, we celebrated 25 years of the Rochester chapter of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists. As the son of a union family, I know just how life-changing union membership can be, and I'm proud to continue fighting for a future where no one is left behind.

What happened to the gospel of feeding the hungry, giving shelter to the homeless, and taking care of the poor? The hypocrisy sickens me.

Donald Trump has created a pay-to-play system that makes criminals think they won’t be held accountable. It’s corrupt and it has to stop.

The case of a felon who paid lobbyists nearly $1 million to seek a Trump pardon

Nursing home magnate Joseph Schwartz was sentenced in April to three years for defrauding the government of $38 million. Seven months later, Trump pardoned him, but the White House denies a lobbying t...

62 years ago President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, TX. Today we reflect on his extraordinary legacy and recommit ourselves to renouncing political violence everywhere.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 22(source)

We're in a cost-of-living crisis, and Americans are paying the price for government corruption. Our focus has to be on rooting out that corruption and getting back to a government of the people, by the people, and most importantly for the people.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 21(source)

The president has an obligation to do what's best for the American people. Donald Trump's policies have done anything but. This is the kind of corruption we have to get out of our government.

There is no excuse for Trump using this kind of violent language against his political opponents and we cannot take it lightly.  We’ve seen where dangerous, escalating rhetoric ends up, it has to stop.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 21(source)

All violence–especially political violence has no place in our community. Lawmakers shouldn’t have to worry about being targeted for serving as an elected representative. Thinking of Congresswoman Tenney and her family, and I’m grateful no one was harmed.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice and the United States Treasury to reward allies and punish his perceived enemies. That's not how democracy works.

Service Academy Nomination Applications are due TOMORROW! We're looking for high school students interested in applying to one of our nation’s prestigious military academies. Visit my website for more information:

Service Academy Nominations

The honor of attending a service academy comes with the obligation and commitment to serve in the military for a minimum of five years upon graduation.

A provision in the recent government funding package allows eight Republican U.S. Senators to sue for millions of dollars of taxpayer funds. This kind of self-serving, self-dealing, one-sided get-rich-quick scheme is why Americans are so disgusted with this Republican Congress.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 19(source)

Public trust is at an all-time low. We must hold ourselves—and others in power—to a higher standard.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 19(source)

Senate Republicans snuck a corrupt bargain into their funding bill that provides millions of dollars in payouts funded by taxpayers. I'm leading the debate on the House floor on legislation that would eliminate this provision. Follow along:

I support banning Members of Congress from trading stocks. That ban should extend to the President, Vice President, and Supreme Court. The cost of corruption is passed down to Americans. It has to stop. Join me for the Committee on House Administration's hearing on the STOCK Act:

Americans have the right to know the truth, and the right to hold people accountable. That's why I voted to release the Epstein files. I hope today's vote starts the process in earnest.

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

President Trump could release the Epstein files today, he doesn't need Congressional action to do it. The American people deserve some honesty, and some answers.
