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.

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!

Tomorrow is the last day for early voting in Monroe County! I cast my ballot today, and I hope you’ll join me in making your voice heard in this year’s election.

We're not going to make progress as a country if we accept President Trump's demonizing of people as a belief system. I was raised to follow the simple rule, treat others how you'd like to be treated. We've got to get back to that.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 1(source)

Big win! The courts agree: President Trump, stay in your lane! Congress and the States are in charge of election regulation. We know what this is really about—Trump is afraid of voters so he’ll do anything he can to suppress our voice.

Federal judge rules Trump can’t require citizenship proof on the federal voting form

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Halloween tonight! At a time filled with frustration about the state of the world amidst this government shutdown, it’s important to pause and appreciate the good—whether that’s trick-or-treating, passing out candy, or simply laughing together.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govOct 31(source)

It shouldn’t be a partisan issue to keep families fed. The courts have said it’s legal, now it’s on President Trump to do the right thing.

Federal judge orders Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits out of contingency fund

The ruling came one day before funding for SNAP, more commonly known as food stamps, was set to lapse.

Stop using the American people as hostages.

Millions of New Yorkers rely on SNAP to put food on the table. I joined the entire NY Democratic delegation in calling on the Trump Admin to act immediately and fund November SNAP benefits using the emergency funds that are already available. Read more:

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE CONTINUES FIGHT TO SAVE SNAP BENEFITS

(Washington, D.C.)--Today, Congressman Joe Morelle announced he has joined his colleagues in the New York Democratic Congressional delegation in writing to President Trump and U.S.

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

Donald Trump, Speaker Johnson, and the Republican party have failed to do their jobs. SNAP has emergency funding prepared for situations just like this, they're just refusing to use it.

Grateful to everyone who joined our community conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Murray last night. As families face uncertainty about their healthcare coverage, it was important to hear from a local expert on how to keep your family healthy. Watch a replay here:

More than 100,000 people in Monroe County receive SNAP benefits. Trump is targeting each of them by withholding funding that's already set aside for the program. This is not who we are as Americans, our responsibility is to protect our communities.

Donald Trump's Department of Justice is too busy protecting Jan. 6th rioters to stand up for equal justice for the American people. We're less safe because of Trump's pardons for these violent criminals; now we're seeing the consequences of repeat offenders.

DOJ places on leave 2 prosecutors who said 'mob of rioters' carried out Jan. 6 attack

Two federal prosecutors have been told they will be put on leave after filing a brief that described the Jan. 6, 2021, attackers a "mob of rioters," sources say.

It truly seems that cruelty is the point with the Trump administration.
