Proud to celebrate a $4.2 million investment in high-speed, affordable internet access in our community with County Executive Bello & the City of Rochester. This means more children can complete their work online, seniors can access telehealth, & businesses can compete in a digital economy.

Wishing peace and joy to all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah. May the new year be filled with happiness and good health. Shanah Tovah!

Rochester is at the core of optics in America. I joined AmeriCOM USA today to discuss how we can keep our community and our country at the forefront of this industry. I will continue to fight for strong investment in optics research, manufacturing, and workforce development.

We’re fighting for affordable groceries and healthcare—real help for our constituents. Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. They have the power to pass a budget. If the government shuts down on October 1, the responsibility lies with them—and it shows what they truly value.

Throughout my career, I have proudly stood alongside unions, and I will continue to support their work to uplift workers and families. Great to be with familiar faces yesterday at SMART Local 46's annual clambake!

I have no words.

Asking for a friend: so, I can take $50,000 in cash as long as I don’t agree to do anything in exchange for it? Seems reasonable…

When I served in Albany, people would lose their minds if we finished the state budget late. But here in Washington, Congress has only met its deadline once in the last 25 years. The federal budget process is broken—and I'm working with my @democrats-appropriations.house.gov colleagues to fix it.

"Chaos" and "confusion" are the last word we should use to describe our public health process. We need to listen to science and respect the long-standing decisions of public health experts—not put patients' lives at risk.

After the vote, I took a few moments to speak about my thought process and how, in the end, I decided to vote “yes.” I look forward to working with all my colleagues on policies to reject violence and restore civility to our politics.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govSep 19(source)

At its core, this resolution condemns political violence, and that’s something we must all do—clearly and without hesitation. That is why I voted yes—and it’s why many of my colleagues did, too.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govSep 19(source)

But democracy means that even people we strongly disagree with—people whose words make our blood boil—still deserve the same rights and protections as everyone else. Freedom cannot be applied selectively.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govSep 19(source)

Let me be clear: I did not agree with Charlie Kirk. His rhetoric was extremist, divisive, and often deeply harmful. I do not support language in this resolution that portrays him as noble or patriotic.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govSep 19(source)

Today I voted in favor of a resolution that, like many in Congress, is nuanced—and I know my decision may frustrate some people.

House Republicans’ funding proposal does nothing to lower the cost of living, ensure our students are safe in school, or address any of the real problems our families face. Proud to stand with my @housedemocrats.bsky.social colleagues to fight for the responsible government people deserve.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govSep 18(source)

Free speech is nonnegotiable in America—it's a right enshrined in our Constitution. Even if we don't agree with it, we must protect it. By attacking anyone who disagrees, Trump is taking another page out of the authoritarian playbook and threatening our democracy. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/18/t...

Today, our community lost a dedicated public servant, wonderful man, and great friend. My condolences and prayers are with all those who knew and loved Lucien.

Photonics began with a simple idea: letting light itself do the drawing. Nearly 200 years later, the photonics field is still fueling innovations that are reshaping our world. Proud to join @spie.org today to discuss our ongoing work to ensure the U.S. leads in this vital field of discovery.

If we fail to invest in the next generation of scientists, we risk losing our edge in a fiercely competitive global economy. The United States can't afford to let that happen.
