For decades, the Rochester Vet Center has been providing critical counseling services for veterans as they return to civilian life. I'm proud to work alongside them to ensure veterans have the resources and services they need after they so courageously served our nation.

Grateful for the neighbors in Fairport who came out to grab coffee with me and talk about their concerns. It's community engagement like this that inspires me to continue my work in Congress to deliver for our region.

We need hardworking teachers—they are leaders in our community, and they prepare our children for the future. Cutting off the resources students need to pursue a teaching degree puts our classrooms and our country's future at risk.

Early education experts see this new Trump rule as ‘the wrong step at the wrong time’

Shutting off federal loans for these students could turn people away from the profession altogether, at a time when teachers are burnt out and leaving classrooms and daycares, early childhood educator...

So now we’re taking election advice from Putin?

Trump and Putin are both criticizing mail-in voting. Election officials are freaking out.

Officials are concerned that Trump’s moves to loosen U.S. election security may provide an opening for Russia.

Social security is not a gift—it's a program we've paid into as Americans since we took our first job. This program sustains people who have done the hard work and put the time in. We cannot allow out-of-touch billionaires to rob our neighbors of their hard earned retirement.

“How bad slavery was” is exactly what someone who has never been to a museum would say.

I respect the Texas House Democrats who risked so much to defend voters. That's what it looks like to stand up when it counts.

Texas Democrats have returned home, ending redistricting standoff

The Democrats will each be escorted by law enforcement officers to ensure they return Wednesday, as the state GOP prepares to pass a new congressional map.

Our parents and grandparents earned a secure retirement. We must protect Medicare and Social Security—for them, and for the generations to come.

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

Grateful to seniors at St. John's Living for joining me for a conversation about threats they face from Trump's dangerous budget. Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security are all programs they rely on, and we cannot allow them to be decimated to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

105 years ago today, the ratification of the 19th Amendment enshrined women’s right to vote. In Rochester—home to Susan B. Anthony—we carry that legacy forward by defending the right to vote for every American.

Donald Trump is scared of voters, so he’s attacking vote-by-mail and rigging the rules to protect himself. This is corrupt and an ugly power grab. The courts—and the American people—should see through it.

Trump says he will sign order targeting mail-in ballots, voting machines ahead of 2026 elections

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he would sign an executive order ahead of next year's midterm elections, saying he would lead "a movement" targeting mail-in balloting and voting machines across the country.

Many in our region will remember visiting the Ganondagan State Historic Site as a student and learning about what was one of the largest, most vital 17th-century Seneca towns. I stopped by for a tour and to hear about the work they're doing to continue this important education.

Increasing access to affordable, high-quality healthcare has been a priority for me throughout my career.

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

Make no mistake, everyone will be effected by cuts to Medicare and Medicaid that place more stress on our healthcare system. We need to expand access to lifesaving care, not pull it further out of reach for our communities.
