Increasing access to affordable, high-quality healthcare has been a priority for me throughout my career.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 15(source)

Make no mistake, everyone will be effected by cuts to Medicare and Medicaid that place more stress on our healthcare system. We need to expand access to lifesaving care, not pull it further out of reach for our communities.

I visited AppliedLogix this week for a tour and to meet with their innovative team. Proud to support their work to create good jobs here in Rochester and advance high-tech manufacturing in our region.

After 90 years of support for aging Americans, we cannot allow callous Republican cuts to dismantle Social Security. We must protect this resource for generations to come.

Social Security Administration cuts lead to 7,000 job losses, impacting access to benefits for some

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Cuts to the Social Security Administration over the last six months have resulted in 7,000 job losses at field offices. News10NBC’s Erin Mahon attended an event hosted by AARP where ...

Proud to join today's launch of TogetherNOW’s MyWayFinder—the first tool of its kind in our region, connecting people to services and organizations that provide support when they need it. Together we’re making it easier to get help, find hope, & build a stronger community.

For 90 years, through wars, recessions, and changing political landscapes, Social Security has stood as a pillar of stability for millions of Americans. Today, under new and continued threats to the program, we must protect the promise of Social Security for generations to come.

Grateful to @sunychancellor.bsky.social for inviting me to join an important discussion on Empire AI and the SUNY AI for Public Good Faculty Fellows Program. This is the kind of forward-looking investment we need to keep NY at the forefront of innovation and ensure AI can serve the public good.

What happened to the promise Trump ran on to lower costs for American families? Instead, his reckless trade continues to drive up costs and make it even harder for people to make ends meet.

CONGRESSMAN MORELLE SOUNDS THE ALARM ON BUDGET BILL’S IMPACT ON LOCAL SENIORS

(Rochester, N.Y.)—Today, Congressman Morelle joined community leaders and local seniors at Episcopal Senior Life Community’s Valley Manor to address growing threats to programs older Americans rely on...

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 13(source)

I joined seniors at Episcopal Senior Living Communities yesterday to discuss the threats they're facing to programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. While the Trump administration targets these essential services, I'll keep advocating for ways to strengthen them.

Trump wants to rewrite history to suit his ego—I definitely don’t want my grandchildren visiting his version of a museum… I will keep fighting for the Smithsonian’s independence.

White House orders review of Smithsonian museums to ensure alignment with Trump directive | CNN Politics

The White House is conducting a comprehensive internal review of exhibits and materials at the Smithsonian Institution in an effort to comply with President Donald Trump’s directive about what should ...

It's no secret this administration is more focused on voter suppression than solving the real issues voters face, but it's startling to be so blatant about the desire to strip half our country of their fundamental right to vote.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn't vote

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth reposted the video profiling Christian Nationalist Pastor Doug Wilson, who opposes same-sex marriage.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 12(source)

Attempts to overturn this landmark decision and strip away equality from millions are shameful. This is a critical moment to stand together against any effort to claw back basic human rights because of who someone loves or how they identify.

Supreme Court formally asked to overturn landmark same-sex marriage ruling

10 years after the Supreme Court extended marriage rights to all same-sex couples, it will consider whether to take a case asking it to overturn the decision.

I'm proud to represent a region filled with innovative companies leading the way in technology that defends our national security.  Great to join these local leaders for the Department of Defense Northeast Regional Council Conference today.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 11(source)

Trump's budget is premised on the idea that the wealthiest Americans deserve a tax break taken out of the health care and nutrition assistance of millions of working-class Americans. That is not the American way.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 11(source)

Reckless tariffs hurt American consumers and make it even harder for families to make ends meet. We need to keep working for an America where hard work pays off and a good life is affordable.

Tariffs on China Set to Rise Sharply Tuesday if No Deal Is Reached

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 10(source)

The Trump administration wants to play games with our neighbors’ healthcare. I’ve fought my entire career to increase access to life-saving care for our communities, and I won’t stop now.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govAug 10(source)

Once again, President Trump has no interest in lowering costs for American families. That should be our number one priority.

Trump's broad tariffs go into effect, just as economic pain is surfacing

The White House said that starting just after midnight that goods from more than 60 countries and the European Union would face tariff rates of 10% or higher.
