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.

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

Representing Rochester in Congress is a great responsibility and privilege, and I’m thankful each day for the trust our community has placed in me.

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

Explicit AI-generated deepfakes are dangerous, abusive, and all too common. If left unchecked, they'll continue to have devastating impacts. I've authored legislation that would establish both criminal and civil penalties for those who produce deepfakes.

Elon Musk's Grok under fire for generating explicit AI images of minors

One user asked Grok to remove clothing from an image of a 14-year-old "Stranger Things" actress.

We cannot forget what happened on this day.

President Trump lit the flame that started the January 6th attack on our Capitol, and Congressional Republicans who continue to choose cowardice and protect the guilty have only fanned the flames.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 6(source)

And in that fear, he’s choosing silence over honor for the Capitol Police and law enforcement officers who protected Congress and our democracy on January 6th. This isn't leadership—it’s cowardice, and history will judge him justly.

Speaker Johnson isn't refusing to hang the J6 plaque out of principle—he’s afraid of President Trump.

Column | A hidden plaque symbolizes battle over how Jan. 6 should be viewed

House Republicans continue to hide a plaque honoring the police who defended the Capitol in 2021, almost three years after a law passed requiring its display.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 6(source)

Using our children as pawns in their twisted political games is unacceptable. The Trump administration is actively making the affordability crisis worse and putting our communities at risk.

HHS freezes $10 billion in child-care funding for 5 Democratic states, alleging fraudulent programs

The states include California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York.

Today marks five years since the January 6th attack on our democracy. As top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'll keep working to support the Capitol Police who defended our democracy that day and express our gratitude for their heroic dedication to our country.

NEW: House Speaker Mike Johnson – after two years of deflecting questions on the matter – is now arguing that the legally-required January 6 plaque must be re-considered (more)

The expiration of ACA subsidies is destabilizing our entire healthcare system. Whether or not you rely on these subsidies, everyone will pay the price.

Are the American people safer and more secure after this attack? President Trump has a responsibility to prove that. If the Trump administration is serious about stopping the flow of illicit drugs, why did the President pardon convicted drug lord and ex-President of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernández?

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 3(source)

Decisions of this magnitude, undertaken without congressional authorization or notification, set a troubling precedent and risk pulling the United States into a broader conflict. War has devastating consequences—the loss of American lives, enormous burden on taxpayers, rising energy costs, and more.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJan 3(source)

The President’s attack on Venezuela raises serious national security concerns. Nicolás Maduro is a dangerous dictator, but that does not justify violating the Constitution, U.S., and International law.

Rochester’s world-class universities, research centers, and innovative businesses need sustained support to compete on the global stage. I’m driving a long-term effort to secure our leadership in high-tech innovation and build a stronger, more resilient local economy.

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

I'm grateful to Leader Jeffries for trusting me with the responsibility of leading my colleagues to protect our values and author anti-corruption reforms. We WILL put the power of our democracy back into the hands of hardworking Americans.
