I authored a letter to Secretary Noem demanding the department take responsibility for the tragedy in Minnesota and work to restore the trust of the American People.

Honesty and transparency should not be too much to ask for from the President of the United States.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 9(source)

Grateful to be joined in this effort by @pelosi.house.gov and @pettersen.house.gov. This action is reckless, unjustified, and profoundly harmful, placing millions of children, working parents, and financially stressed families at immediate risk. Read more:

CONGRESSMAN MORELLE, SPEAKER EMERITA PELOSI, CONGRESSWOMAN PETTERSEN DEMAND AN END TO CHILDCARE FUNDING FREEZE

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle (D, NY-25), Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D, CA-11), and Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen (D, CO-07) announced they have taken action to hold the Trum...

I authored a letter to @hhsofficial.bsky.social Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, demanding the release of nearly $10 billion in frozen funding for childcare & family support programs. Congress appropriated these funds to support children and families, not to be withheld as political retribution.

I joined my colleagues in a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services demanding they reinstate the previous childhood immunization schedule to protect the health and wellbeing of our children. Read the full letter:

We need to listen to science and respect the long-standing decisions of public health experts. When vaccination rates fall, we're all at risk, and our most vulnerable rely on those around them to be vaccinated.

Trump, RFK dramatically overhaul child vaccine schedule

The move is a public health gamble that assumes children's health won't be endangered.

Renee Nicole Good should be alive today.

Today, House Democrats passed an extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits that help working families afford care. This is a big victory for the American people, now it's time for the Senate to act.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 8(source)

Steny Hoyer has spent his career strengthening our democracy and delivering for working families. His leadership helped define an era in Congress. His legacy will endure long after his retirement. I’m profoundly grateful for his service and friendship.

Steny Hoyer, the longest-serving Democrat in the House, to retire

The Democratic congressman has represented Maryland in the House for more than four decades, including two stints as majority leader under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

This isn’t about politics or policy, it’s about people whose lives are forever changed without access to affordable healthcare Read more:

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE VOTES TO RESTORE HEALTHCARE COVERAGE FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle voted to pass legislation in the House of Representatives to make healthcare more accessible for millions of Americans.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 8(source)

House Democrats have been a united front—calling on Speaker Johnson, Leader Thune, and President Trump to do the right thing and extend these critical tax credits. Now it’s time for Senate Republicans to join us and provide this critical benefit to the American people.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 8(source)

I'm proud to have voted to pass legislation to make healthcare more accessible for millions of Americans. The House of Representatives has done its part—now it’s time for Senate Republicans to join us and provide this critical benefit to the American people.

The federal government’s job is to protect the American people. This administration has betrayed that mission, and this tragedy is the result.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 8(source)

As Vice Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, I will use every tool available to demand answers from Secretary Noem and press for a full accounting of the policies, training, and decisions that led to this death.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 8(source)

America is less safe when volatile ICE officers operate with impunity in our communities. Those involved in this horrific shooting, both officers and leadership, must be fully investigated and held accountable.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 8(source)

The death of Renee Nicole Good is an unacceptable and needless tragedy. This death lies squarely at the feet of the Trump administration. It is the result of reckless rhetoric, dangerous policy choices, and the aggressive deployment of inadequately trained officers.

Childcare is not a luxury. When parents lose childcare, they can’t work. When they can’t work, they lose income, critical benefits, and housing stability. The Trump administration is knowingly and deliberately making the affordability crisis worse.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 7(source)

These actions are unlawful and cynically targeted at blue states simply because this administration thinks it can get away with it. Read my full statement:

STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE ON FEDERAL CHILDCARE FUNDING FREEZE

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle released the following statement in response to the U.S.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 7(source)

The Trump administration is knowingly and deliberately making the affordability crisis worse. By freezing federal childcare and family assistance funds, Donald Trump is using our children as pawns in a political stunt—but the damage ripples through entire families.
