The Trump Administration is using today’s horrific killing by ICE as a pretext to extort voters’ information from the State of Minnesota. We can’t allow this breach of privacy and betrayal of the Constitution.

In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis. AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including: "Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

Since the Citizens United ruling, the wealthiest Americans have spent over $10 billion to dominate American politics. That’s not a democracy. It’s an oligarchy. We need to fix this system and get dark money out of politics.

ICE's detainment of a five-year-old boy in Minnesota is a disgrace. This insanity needs to stop. Today I voted against further enabling this administration’s campaign of fear and intimidation.
Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 22(source)
The immoral and cruel actions being ordered by President Trump and Secretary Noem and carried out by ICE agents are unacceptable. I voted 'NO' on a funding bill that will further enable this Administration’s campaign of fear and intimidation. Read more:
STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE ON VOTE AGAINST FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle released the following statement explaining his “NO” vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security...

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade decision—and over three years since the Supreme Court stripped it away. I sat down with Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York President and CEO Michelle Casey to talk about what that means for our country.
Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 21(source)
We need to end Citizens United, limit the influence of special interests, and end the era of dark money in politics. It’s been 16 years since the Citizens United decision weakened our democracy by putting corporations over people.

The Republican Stop Insider Trading Act falls short. It fails to hold elected officials accountable and does nothing to rebuild public trust.
Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 20(source)
This culture of corruption has gone on long enough. We need to ban congressional stock trading. As the top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'm proud to stand with @sewell.house.gov, @normajtorres.bsky.social, and @repjuliejohnson.bsky.social to demand real accountability.
Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 20(source)
The "Stop Insider Trading Act" put forth by my Republican colleagues does nothing to stop Trump's self-dealing actions. We need real change that restores trust in our government.

Governor Hochul's State of the State made clear what’s at stake. As the Trump admin. freezes federal funding for NYS child care, her commitment to expanding affordable childcare for families matters more than ever. I'm grateful for her leadership.
Affordability, safety, immigration at the center of N.Y. Gov. Kathy Hochul's State of the State address
Hochul laid out plans to move New York toward universal child care, and restrict 3-D printed ghost guns in the state.
Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 15(source)
Donald Trump's threats to strip federal funding from sanctuary cities and states is un-American. Mr. President, you cannot come to Rochester and tell us how to run our community. Stay out.
