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.”

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.

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.

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

The American Dream shouldn’t come with an endless waitlist. Teachers, nurses, firefighters, public defenders—all promised relief for serving their community. Instead, they’re trapped in a backlog because of the incompetence of the Trump administration.

Student loan borrower backlog for forgiveness swells to 74,510 under Trump

The backlog of student loan borrowers trying to access Public Service Loan Forgiveness continues to grow under the Trump administration. Here's what to know.

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

The American people deserve a government that puts their interests first. Instead, President Trump is using hardworking families as pawns in a political contest. We need a bipartisan budget that protects healthcare and supports families.

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

In spite of the chaos and misinformation coming from the Trump administration, I'm glad local organizations like Trillium are continuing to ensure our community gets the healthcare we need.

Amid vaccine confusion, Trillium Health will provide COVID shots to the public

The pharmacists at Trillium Health Center say they’re able to provide the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to anyone 12 and older.

If we want American families to grow, we need to secure the tools and resources to support them through every stage of life.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govSep 28(source)

I joined @meidastouch.com this week to talk about the state of our government. We’ve got to tone down the rhetoric and that needs to start from the top. It starts with the president.

Cancel the Cuts. Lower the Cost. Save Healthcare.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govSep 28(source)

I’m heartbroken by the tragic shooting in Michigan. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire faith community. Grateful to the first responders who responded quickly in the midst of this senseless violence.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govSep 28(source)

Always excited to be with my friends at the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce. They're working to bring our business community together and ensure leaders across Rochester are equipped with the resources they need to thrive.
