At every opportunity to negotiate during this shutdown, Trump has chosen to hurt the American people instead.

On this day, in 1916, Ms. Jeannette Rankin became the first woman to be elected to Congress. We remember this historical moment and what it meant for women's rights in our nation as we continue the fight to ensure access to public office and protect free and fair elections.

Losing health insurance doesn't just affect your physical health; it can start a chain reaction that impacts every aspect of your life. We need to protect American healthcare, and we need to do it now.

I consider it one of the great privileges of my life to have served alongside Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Congress. I'm grateful for her extraordinary leadership, devotion to our country, and friendship. Best of luck to her and her family in this next chapter—God bless you, Madam Speaker.

Trump's reckless tariffs hurt our communities and do nothing to lower costs for hardworking families. Proud to have joined an amicus brief in this case arguing the Constitution grants Congress, not the president, the sole authority to impose tariffs.

Supreme Court appears skeptical of Trump's tariffs

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday over President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs. Trump justified his import taxes under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

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

The one thing Trump really fears is the people's voice—mail-in-voting has been a safe and secure part of our elections since the Civil War. The people of California have spoken, Mr. President. It's time to listen.

Join our community this Saturday, Nov. 8, from 9 a.m.–2 p.m. at Innovative Field for an Emergency Food Network Food Donation Drive! Together, we’re supporting efforts to fight hunger and help families in crisis.

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE FIGHTS TO PROTECT SUCCESSFUL ANTI-CRIME TASK FORCE

(Rochester, N.Y.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle, Vice Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, announced the introduction of his Protect Law Enforcement Task Forces Act—legislation he au...

For over 40 years, the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) has been at the center of our nationwide fight against crime, and we cannot allow it to be dismantled. I’ve authored new legislation to save OCDETF and ensure its continued operation for years to come.

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

At a time when the American people are looking for real, common-sense solutions to the problems they face, the Trump administration is instead choosing to dismantle an initiative that has successfully lowered crime in cities across the United States, including here in Rochester.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 5(source)

President Trump, it's time to listen to American voters. Bring down costs, protect access to healthcare, and prioritize working families.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 5(source)

Once again, the Trump administration must be forced to do the right thing. Removing sign language interpreters from briefings alienates millions of deaf and hard-of-hearing Americans who have a right to accessible information about their government.

White House Must Provide ASL Interpreter for Briefings

A federal judge has spurned President Donald Trump’s move to get rid of American Sign Language interpreters for White House briefings.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 5(source)

Today, we remember Ms. Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to the House of Representatives in 1968. House Democrats will continue the fight to ensure every eligible voter has access to the ballot box and their voices heard.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 4(source)

Food, a roof over your head, access to healthcare, it's all connected, especially for children in their most critical stages of development. We've got to bring down costs and protect resources that support our communities. Our families are relying on us.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 4(source)

Not only is there already funding available for SNAP, Donald Trump has been ordered by the federal courts to use it. He is choosing, illegally, to force kids to go hungry until he gets his way. He should be ashamed.

The president is not a king. He is not free to disregard the rule of law whenever it becomes politically inconvenient for him. The Trump administration must comply with recent court orders to fund SNAP in November for millions of hungry seniors, children, veterans and the disabled.

Talk about misplaced priorities. Rather than negotiate an end to the shutdown and a way to lower healthcare costs, Trump is off traveling the world and working on his new ballroom.

What shutdown? Trump isn't canceling travel, golf or his ballroom even with the government shuttered

Shutdown? What shutdown? President Donald Trump is barreling along like the government isn't shuttered, keeping up international and domestic travel while construction crews race to transform the White House to accommodate his new ballroom.

From Brighton to the big stage, what a postseason for Ernie Clement! The Blue Jays came up just a bit short, but Ernie’s record-breaking performance was one for the ages. He’s certainly made our community proud!

Clement has been a hitting machine and has set a team record and an MLB record during the World Series.
