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.

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.

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.

After 90 years of support for aging Americans, we cannot allow callous Republican cuts to dismantle Social Security. We must protect this resource for generations to come.

For 90 years, through wars, recessions, and changing political landscapes, Social Security has stood as a pillar of stability for millions of Americans. Today, under new and continued threats to the program, we must protect the promise of Social Security for generations to come.

Grateful to @sunychancellor.bsky.social for inviting me to join an important discussion on Empire AI and the SUNY AI for Public Good Faculty Fellows Program. This is the kind of forward-looking investment we need to keep NY at the forefront of innovation and ensure AI can serve the public good.

What happened to the promise Trump ran on to lower costs for American families? Instead, his reckless trade continues to drive up costs and make it even harder for people to make ends meet.
