It's day 2 of the Republican shutdown and I'm headed back to Rochester, but I'm deeply disappointed House Republicans didn't even bother to show up this week amidst a national crisis. House Democrats will keep working to protect American healthcare and bring down costs for families.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govOct 2(source)

Every day this shutdown drags on, small businesses pay the price. Republicans need to come to the table and work with us to end the shutdown.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govOct 2(source)

Small Business Administration-backed investments that support job creation are paused, and training, mentoring, and counseling for over a million entrepreneurs face delays and uncertainty.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govOct 2(source)

A shutdown blocks small businesses from competing for federal contracts, that's $365 million in opportunities lost every day.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govOct 2(source)

Trump's last shutdown cost our economy $11 billion; small businesses can't afford to be collateral damage again. Small Business Administration lending programs have ground to a halt, meaning $100 million in small business loans is vanishing every day the government is closed.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to stand with those fighting cancer and honor survivors. For my family, this fight is deeply personal. I remain committed to expanding access to life-saving screenings, prevention, and treatment—so no one is left behind.

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

We're going to continue to fight for affordable, quality health care for all Americans, and we're not going to stop until we get it.

May the many families, friends, and neighbors observing Yom Kippur have a peaceful and meaningful fast. G’mar Chatima Tovah!

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

The Republicans are blatantly lying about Medicaid benefits going to millions of illegal immigrants. I'm fighting to roll back draconian cuts to affordable healthcare that will throw working Americans off their health insurance and drastically increase premiums.

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

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I remain committed to fighting for stronger protections for survivors and accountability for abusers to build a safer community where every person can live with dignity, safety, and peace.

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

This is not a benefit to the American people. Republicans aren't even pretending to care about working families anymore. A government shutdown brings services our communities rely on to a halt, leaving them unsupported.

Republicans have forced us into a government shutdown, creating uncertainty for families everywhere. Please know my office remains operational. Visit my website for answers to frequently asked questions, and reach out if we can be of assistance to you.

Government Shutdown

Due to a lapse in government funding, the federal government entered a shutdown at midnight on September 30, 2025. I stand ready to work with anyone—regardless of party

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

My statement on the government shutdown:

“I am deeply frustrated. President Trump and Republican leaders continue to prioritize tax breaks for their billionaire friends above the needs of working Americans. Because of the president, health insurance is increasingly too expensive for American families.

“This failure to fund the government is the direct result of a brutal and incompetent administration and a Republican-controlled Congress too afraid of Donald Trump to fight for you. This is no accident—it's a deliberate choice. Republicans control the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House—and yet, they were unable to pass a budget on their own and are unwilling to work with Democrats.

“My Democratic colleagues and I will support a spending plan that cancels cuts, lowers costs, and protects healthcare. I won't support another short-term ‘fix’ to an already broken budget.”

My statement as top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration:

Rep. Jayapal’s commitment to nonviolence was met with an Arizona Republican’s threat of execution. It is as disgraceful as it is dangerous. Left unchecked, this hatred puts lives at risk.

Republican Arizona lawmaker makes post calling for execution of Democratic congresswoman

John Gillette on X called for ‘people like’ Pramila Jayapal to be ‘hanged’ in response to her video on anti-Trump protests

Join @housedemocrats.bsky.social over the next 24 hours as we outline the dangers of this Republican shutdown and how we're fighting back. I'm joining now!

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

The shutdown we're headed toward is not inevitable, it's not an act of nature. It's the result of bad choices from President Trump and his team.

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

It's simple, we're fighting to make sure American families can access the healthcare services they need for themselves and for their children.

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

House Democrats are here, ready to work together to avoid a disastrous government shutdown and protect healthcare for millions of Americans.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govSep 29(source)

I'm back with Leland Vittert tonight around 9:00 PM on @newsnation.bsky.social. I hope you'll join me!
