I'm devastated by the unimaginable loss from the flash floods in Texas and grateful for the tireless work of the first responders. My prayers are with the families of those who lost their loved ones and all those affected by this tragedy.

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

Republicans chose to pass a bill that will kick millions of their health insurance. Everyone, even those who won't lose coverage, will feel the impact of this disastrous legislation.

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

Birthright citizenship is a right! SCOTUS chose to weaken our system of checks and balances at the time when we need it most. Nationwide injunctions are a legitimate tool to curb the overreach and unconstitutional actions of the Trump administration.

Supreme Court Limits Judges’ Ability to Issue Nationwide Injunctions, a Win for Trump

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

Independence Day is a celebration of the enduring promise of liberty and justice. This year, we also reflect on the threats facing our democracy and the work ahead. May our patriotism be measured not just in today's celebrations, but in our fight for a more perfect union.

STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE ON REPUBLICANS’ INHUMANE BUDGET

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle released the following statement after House Republicans passed Donald Trump’s Big Ugly Bill:“House Republicans have forced through the most damaging ...

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 3(source)

You deserve better.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 3(source)

This abomination of a bill is simply corrupt and cruel. Alongside @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, I'm committed to ending corruption in our government.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 3(source)

I’m on the House floor with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to say NO to Republicans’ reckless budget. If they were serious about cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, they’d start with their billionaire buddies’ contracts—not programs working families rely on.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 3(source)

President Trump's budget bill is a betrayal. It shifts money from working Americans to billionaires. It's un-American and we cannot allow it to pass.

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

I won't stop talking about President Trump's disastrous budget bill. Thanks to Veronica at the House Barber shop for letting me share a few thoughts from the chair while I got a haircut between votes.

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

What is the purpose of this bill? It rips healthcare away from 17 million Americans and only the ultra-wealthy really benefit. I guess there's your answer. Simply put, it's to rig the system for the wealthy at the expense of hardworking families.

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

Proud to stand with my Democratic brothers and sisters from New York State to call Donald Trump’s bill what it is: a betrayal of New York’s working families. He’s willing to sell us out to help his billionaire friends. We deserve so much better.

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

As we face growing health crises, inflation, international conflict, and natural disasters, Republicans are debating whether to make harsher cuts to healthcare or nutrition programs—so billionaires can get bigger tax breaks. Americans deserve better.

Distributional Effects of Selected Provisions of the House and Senate Reconciliation Bills

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

I implore my colleagues across the aisle to stop and think before voting for the worst piece of legislation in generations.

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

I'm voting 'NO'.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 1(source)

I'm headed to Washington to vote 'NO' on one of the worst pieces of legislation I've seen in my career. It’s a sloppy tax break for billionaires that takes healthcare away from 17 million Americans. It’s bad for Rochester and we all deserve better.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 1(source)

A year ago today, the Supreme Court made the disastrous decision to place presidents above the law in their Trump v. United States decision. Presidents are not monarchs—last Congress, I introduced a constitutional amendment that would hold them accountable.

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE AUTHORING CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO REVERSE U.S. SUPREME COURT’S IMMUNITY DECISION

(Rochester, N.Y.)—This week, Congressman Joe Morelle announced he is introducing a constitutional amendment to reverse the United States Supreme Court’s decision to provide former president Trump with...

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 1(source)

President Trump's budget would threaten healthcare coverage and nutrition assistance for millions of U.S. citizens—all to fund tax breaks for billionaires. We can't let this pass.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 30(source)

I firmly believe our campaign finance system should empower the people, not the wealthy and the well-connected. The Supreme Court’s decision to consider the Republican Party’s latest assault on anti-corruption rules is alarming—I encourage the Court to reject this challenge next term.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 30(source)

I'm horrified by the ambush against firefighters in Idaho yesterday. Our first responders put themselves in harm's way every day to protect our communities, and we must never take their service for granted. My prayers are with the victims of this tragedy.
