If the so-called party of "law and order," refuses to honor the officers who risked their safety on January 6th to protect the Capitol—House Democrats will. Alongside nearly 120 other members, I hung a copy of the plaque honoring our Capitol Police outside my office.

Trump's budget benefits the top 1% in our country. The bill is a reverse Robin Hood—prioritizing the billionaires who sat behind him on inauguration day at the expense of hardworking American families.

The Republican scheme to gerrymander Texas districts mid-cycle is a blatant attempt to change the rules in the middle of the game. This isn't how free and fair elections work, and it undermines trust in our elections.

Slashing Medicaid means slashing care when people need it most. Under Trump's budget, 1 in 4 nursing homes could shut down. In yet another cruel and dangerous move from Republicans, seniors across the country will be left out in the cold—literally.

Dems have installed ~120 replicas of a plaque honoring law enforcement that responded on Jan. 6 as part of a pressure campaign to get the GOP to install the real thing on Capitol Hill. “You could have put up the one plaque … You now have dozens,” @morelle.house.gov told me ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

Morelle, Democrats amp up pressure on GOP to display Jan. 6 officer plaque

Years after it was supposed to be put on display on Capitol Hill, the real plaque remains in storage.

Measles is a preventable threat. We're now seeing record-high cases that put our communities at risk. This is the human cost of disinformation—and what happens when vaccination rates fall.

The Republican budget will put dangerous pressure on an already strained healthcare system. Proud to stand with @protectourcare.org NY and advocates from across our state to highlight this bill's threats to New Yorkers' healthcare.

Today I had my first meeting with our new Capitol Police Chief Sullivan to discuss security priorities and confirm that our law enforcement partners have the resources they need. This partnership helps ensure Americans feel safe when they come to the Capitol to make their voices heard.

The Republican budget doesn't just slash health and nutrition aid—it guts clean energy investments, too. That means higher electric bills, less energy security, and more fossil fuel dependence. Families could see bills rise up to 30% by 2029. Our communities deserve better.

157 years ago the 14th Amendment was ratified—affirming citizenship for all born or naturalized in the U.S., including formerly enslaved people. That promise of equal protection under the law demands we continue fighting to ensure every citizen has fair access to the ballot box.

Whether you’re on Medicaid, Medicare, or private insurance—everyone in our community will be hit by this disastrous legislation. I'll keep fighting to protect access for our neighbors, because no one should be without lifesaving healthcare.

Food assistance programs like SNAP help families put food on the table and keep our children fed. Trump's budget will take that away from families across the country. No one should be forced to go hungry so billionaires can pay less in taxes.

Where Trump's "big, beautiful bill" could hit SNAP benefits hardest

The bill bumps the work requirement age up to 64.
