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.

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

The Golisano Institute for Developmental Disability Nursing is working to transform the quality of care and support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community and beyond. It was great to meet with them today to discuss their critical work.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 29(source)

I call on my Republican colleagues to work across the aisle to find solutions that give everyone the chance to thrive.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJun 29(source)

Republicans' reconciliation bill gives tax breaks to millionaires at the expense of people's healthcare. This would have devastating effects on people like my friend @petermorley.bsky.social.

Today I joined friends, family, and partners in government for the Penfield Independence Day Parade. Glad to see so many community members come out to join us in celebrating the birth of our nation as we continue the work every day to pursue a more perfect union.

Around 8:20pm, I’ll be joining Chris Cuomo on NewsNation. I hope you’ll join me and tune in!

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...

Congressional Leadership Promises Swift Action on Member Safety
