I've spent my career fighting for gun safety reform, and it's one of my top priorities in Congress. There is still so much work to do to keep families safe.

Trump's policies will leave millions of Americans without access to affordable healthcare. I'm committed to bringing down the cost of healthcare delivery, so everyone can access the lifesaving care they need.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 27(source)

Our country is struggling with an affordability crisis fueled by the Trump administrations chaotic and reckless policies. In 2025, bringing down prices for families was a top priority for me, and I'll keep fighting to help hardworking Americans make ends meet.

As we begin the seven days of Kwanzaa, I wish a peaceful and reflective week to all those celebrating here in Rochester and across the world.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 25(source)

Today, may we all take time to celebrate the most precious gifts of all: our health, happiness, and loved ones. From the Morelle family to yours, we wish you peace, joy, and a merry Christmas!

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 24(source)

Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas while I prep one of our seven fishes for Christmas Eve!

Scams targeting our seniors become more prevalent every year, especially during the holidays. Remember to stay vigilant and ask for help if you are unsure if someone contacting you is legitimate.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 21(source)

The American people are looking to their government for real, common-sense solutions to public safety issues. The Trump administration is dismantling a legitimate, effective initiative that has successfully lowered crime in cities across the U.S.

Appropriators backed a crime-fighting unit. DOJ closed it anyway. - Roll Call

The Trump administration has shuttered a Reagan-era program that coordinated major transnational crime investigations.

No one should fear for their safety just for doing their job. I'm proud to be pushing for legislation that will keep our letter carriers safe.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 20(source)

Wishing a happy 6th birthday to the U.S. Space Force! Their work to strengthen the future of exploration and innovation and defend our country is critical. Today and every day, we thank them for their service.

Praying for the RPD officers impacted by last night’s tragic incident and for the families who are carrying so much right now. Our community is hurting deeply, and we’re all feeling the weight of this violence.

The history of this country has been, from its founding, based on the belief that the people get to choose their leaders. The Voting Rights Act is under attack as this Supreme Court tries to take the vote away from so many people. We're not going to let them do that.

Excited to see NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope fully assembled and preparing for launch! This next-generation technology was worked on right here in Rochester and will survey the universe with unprecedented efficiency.

NASA's next-gen Roman Space Telescope is fully built. Could it launch earlier than expected?

"Completing the Roman observatory brings us to a defining moment for the agency."

Apprenticeships are a proven investment in growing our workforce, strengthening our economy, and setting our students up for success. It's exciting to see these students take advantage of this pre-apprenticeship program as they work toward their futures!

The inaugural class of Real Life Rosies graduated from their pre-apprenticeship program on Tuesday.

It's no secret, Donald Trump engages in a pattern of corrupt bullying, weaponizing the Justice Department against those who dare to call him out. That's not how democracy is meant to work.

Chuck Mangione was a world-class musician whose unique sound carried Rochester's spirit all around the globe. He leaves us with a legacy that will keep our city swinging for generations, and it was an honor to recognize him on the House floor.

Trump's economy is not working for the American people. The only people his policies help are the billionaires he caters to.

U.S. economy adds 64,000 jobs in November, unemployment rate at 4-year high

Hiring slowed last month alongside a jump in the jobless rate, a sign of persistent weakness in the U.S. job market.

This bill must be brought to a vote immediately. Millions of Americans are depending on us to protect their access to critical healthcare. This can not wait.

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

Honored to recognize the remarkable life and legacy of Lucien Morin on the House floor. Better known as Lou, he was a proud World War II veteran & the first elected Monroe County Executive. It was a privilege to know him, work with him, and witness his legacy being built.
