63 years after the Equal Pay Act became law, the promise of equal pay for equal work remains unfinished. Too many women, especially women of color, still earn less on average than their male counterparts.
The cost-of-living crisis is real, and working families are paying the price. That's why my @democrats-appropriations.house.gov colleagues & I are fighting back against Republican proposals to cut health care and make life even more expensive. Americans deserve lower costs and greater opportunity.
The Anti-Corruption and Democracy Reform Task Force met with groups like @brennancenter.org today to discuss reforms for a Supreme Court that too often appears more responsive to special interests and billionaires than to the American people.
I voted no, and I will continue fighting for policies that lower costs, protect families, and uphold the dignity of every person in our community.
This bill is a betrayal of the promises Republicans made to the American people. Taxpayer dollars should be used to help families afford groceries, housing, childcare, and healthcare—not to fund cruelty, sow fear, and make life more expensive for working people.
Instead of investing in affordable healthcare, lower costs, and stronger communities, Republicans are pouring tens of billions of taxpayer dollars into an agency that has repeatedly targeted law-abiding families and torn communities apart.
Here in Rochester, we've seen the fear and uncertainty ICE's actions have created for immigrant families who are our neighbors, coworkers, and friends.
“Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans promised to lower costs for working families. Instead, they’ve passed a bill that cuts healthcare, threatens food assistance, and makes life harder for families—all to bankroll ICE’s mass deportation agenda and hand out more tax breaks to the wealthy.
Appropriators cannot act responsibly without information. We continue to demand answers from the Department of Defense, and they continue to fail to give them.
Every day, my team helps our community navigate federal agencies, access important resources, and secure money owed to them—and I'm proud to say we've returned more than $900,000 so far this year. To learn how we may be able to assist you, visit: morelle.house.gov
The public is rightfully angry about Trump’s war in Iran because it is making their lives harder. Families are already paying more at the pump, but the impact of high gas prices does not stop there. The cost of food, manufactured goods, and just about everything else is going up.
Three years ago today, Allen v. Milligan upheld critical protections under the Voting Rights Act. Those protections were destroyed by SCOTUS' decision in Louisiana v. Callais. We will not sit by and let this corrupt Supreme Court take away these hard-won freedoms.
At RIT’s MAGIC Studios, students are learning and developing their skills for the careers of tomorrow. I was excited to bring Rep. Sarah McBride along for a tour of this impressive facility and to meet with some of the innovative students developing projects there.
The Trump Administration wants to build walls of hatred between people who are just trying to build a good life for themselves and their families. We have to do better. For our neighbors, for ourselves, and for our pursuit of a more perfect union.
General Washington gave more information to the Continental Congress in 1776 than the modern Department of Defense has given to Congress today.   We still don't have a detailed analysis of what Trump's war in Iran has cost.
Today, I’m wearing orange to honor the lives lost to gun violence and stand with survivors, families, and communities working to end this crisis. We owe it to our communities and future generations to keep fighting for commonsense solutions that save lives.
History reminds us that democracy works best when power is accountable to the people. I'm proud to join #WeAreAmerica250 and share the story of the Pujo Committee's investigation into concentrated power in American banking—and why it still matters today. Watch:
United States Representative Joe Morelle of New York explores the impact of the Pujo Committee’s 1910s examination of consolidation in American banking. #WeAreAmerica250
