Cancer patients are already fighting unimaginable battles, forcing them to question how they'll possibly be able to afford insurance next year is simply cruel. We need to protect American healthcare, and we need to do it now.

This is a soulless statement and a disgrace to the office.

Trump levels political attack on Rob Reiner in inflammatory post after his killing

President Donald Trump is blaming Rob Reiner’s outspoken opposition to the president for the actor-director’s killing, delivering the unsubstantiated claim in a post that seemed intent on decrying his...

As top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'm working to ensure the safety of members of Congress so they can carry out their responsibilities, because when political violence interferes with their work, the American people pay the price.

On this day in 1791, the Bill of Rights was ratified—enshrining the fundamental freedoms that define our democracy. Today, protecting those rights and upholding the values of freedom, equality, and justice are more important than ever.

My heart is with Australia’s Jewish community as they grieve this weekend’s devastating attack. We mourn with you and stand united against antisemitism. On this first night of Hanukkah, we hold fast to the light even in moments of deep sorrow.

Families are being forced to choose between essential healthcare and putting food on the table. We've got to bring down the cost of the healthcare delivery.

I am devastated by the shooting at Brown University. My prayers are with the students, faculty, staff, and families affected by this senseless violence. I’m grateful to the first responders who acted swiftly in the face of such tragedy.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 13(source)

@housedemocrats.bsky.social have been saying this since October, we cannot wait to address the healthcare crisis. Families who go to work every day are facing health insurance premium increases that will price them out of care. That's unacceptable.

President Trump cares more about HIS image than the Deaf Americans he serves. This alienates millions of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Americans who have a right to accessible information about their government.

White House: ASL interpreters ‘intrude on’ Trump’s ‘image’

American elections are secure. The Trump Administration has taken unprecedented steps to collect scores of voter data from states across the country with no rational explanation or justification.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 12(source)

Proud to help move this project forward. Internet access is not a luxury anymore. It is a basic necessity. Expanding service in our rural communities is a big step toward closing the digital divide.

Monroe County expands internet access in rural towns, bridging digital divide

Monroe County leaders are celebrating a major milestone in efforts to close the region's digital divide.

President Trump doesn't understand the affordability crisis because he's never had to worry about it. Instead, he's making millions off an elected office that's meant to serve the American people.

At the first stop on his affordability tour, Trump mocks affordability

What was supposed to be a speaking tour to connect with Americans struggling with higher prices and stagnant wages was instead a greatest hits campaign speech.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 11(source)

Adding barriers to voter registration doesn't make our elections any safer; it just stops Americans from exercising their fundamental right to vote.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 11(source)

Trump is still failing to achieve the promise he made on day one: to bring down prices for hardworking families.

Trump tariffs are helping drive U.S. beef prices to new highs

President Trump's tariffs are adding to higher beef prices, along with drought and parasites in a stressed U.S. beef supply chain.

Great to be with Berkeley's MBA for Executives Program today for a conversation on the relationship between business and government. These mid-career MBA students represent a wide array of sectors. I'm grateful for the opportunity to hear their thoughts and questions.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govDec 10(source)

Adding new barriers to voter registration is just the latest tactic in the Trump administration's efforts to cheat Americans of their right to vote. Join the Committee on House Administration for our hearing on updating the National Voter Registration Act:

We may be out of the government shutdown, but Republicans in Congress are still refusing to make progress. House Democrats keep showing up, ready to work for the families we represent. Hear my conversation on @waytooearly.bsky.social
