With proper vaccinations, measles should be a thing of the past—we don’t want it resurfacing in Rochester. Grateful to outstanding health centers like URMC for monitoring our community’s health and safety.

Rochester measles case 'sharpened our focus,' says URMC. Bottom line: The vaccine works.

Case is "cause for attention and concern,” said Tim Flerlage, UR assistant professor. “We’re making sure we are prepared, but we already have been.”

Honored to have been selected by @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to help bolster security for members of Congress. This is an issue of life or death for elected officials at any level, and it’s critical we do all we can to keep lawmakers and their families safe. www.notus.org/congress/con...

House Republicans on the Appropriations Committee voted down an amendment to display this plaque honoring law enforcement who defended the Capitol on January 6, 2021. I'll keep pushing until House Republicans and Speaker Johnson follow the law.

Yesterday, I met with our local Jewish Federation to discuss the persistent threat of antisemitism across the United States. I'm always proud to stand with our Jewish community and reaffirm my resolve to confront antisemitism and hatred wherever they exist.

The Trump administration has proposed cutting nearly $300 billion to nutrition programs in the U.S. This rips food out of the mouths of children and families, especially those in rural areas. We cannot allow this to pass.

Our families’ health shouldn’t be left to armchair experts and fringe podcasters. Let doctors and scientists do their jobs. Public health decisions have real consequences—our children shouldn’t have to worry about measles and other diseases we once eradicated.

For too long, the closure of the Gillett Road Bridge has disrupted daily life and endangered public safety. I’m proud to have joined with our local leaders to push for this long-overdue repair.

SCOTUS’ Shelby County v. Holder decision decimated protections for voters of color. On the 12th anniversary of this decision, I'm fighting to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore and protect voting rights for all.

House Republicans abruptly canceled today's Congressional classified briefing on Iran. The Constitution and federal law are clear: the Administration must brief Congress and answer questions from members of both parties on the recent military strikes in Iran. The rule of law must be followed.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 24(source)

Speaker Johnson: you don't get to play Supreme Court Justice. You represent the legislative branch—act like it. The War Powers Act is the law. Article I powers belong to Congress—whether you like it or not.

House Speaker Johnson argues the War Powers Act is unconstitutional

President Donald Trump called Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, who introduced a War Powers resolution to bar U.S. military engagement in Iran, a "LOSER."

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 24(source)

Three years ago, the conservatives on the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, stripping away healthcare from millions of women. I've been fighting tirelessly to restore this right, because health care decisions should be between you, your doctor, and no one else.
