The Republican budget is the largest rollback of essential services in U.S. history, and will harm millions.

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

I’m devastated by the shooting in Midtown that claimed multiple lives, including an off-duty NYPD officer. Deeply thankful to the NYPD who acted swiftly in the face of such a horrific event. My heart is with the victims and their families during this unimaginable time.

Trump's budget puts hundreds of Planned Parenthood clinics at risk of shutting down, jeopardizing access to care for more than 1 million patients. This is simply the next devastating step in Republicans' ongoing war on reproductive healthcare.

The Trump Administration Is Endangering Women’s Reproductive Health

The Trump administration is dismantling programs to prevent, treat, and cure diseases that affect women as well as threatening access to basic reproductive and maternal health care—and the One Big Bea...

Social Security has supported seniors for 89 years—this program is a lifeline. We must protect it for the people who depend on it.

A new analysis projects a 24% cut to Social Security benefits by late 2032.

Trump's "big, beautiful bill" will cause sharp cuts to Social Security by late 2032, a new analysis says.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 27(source)

Since 1965, the Voting Rights Act has protected access to the ballot box. On the anniversary of its reauthorization, as voting rights remain under attack, I encourage my colleagues to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Securing Quality, Affordable Healthcare

One of my top priorities in Congress is making sure quality healthcare is affordable and accessible for every American.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 26(source)

Rural hospitals are a key part of the balance of our healthcare systems. Trump's budget puts these hospitals at risk and destabilizes the system every American relies on to get care.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 26(source)

We continue this promise with the recent addition of an ADA-compliant ramp for those who need it on the Capitol complex. Proud to have worked alongside my colleagues on the Committee on House Administration on this effort.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 26(source)

35 years ago today, the ADA was signed into law. Without Representative Hoyer’s leadership, we wouldn't have been able to transform our country and allow millions of Americans to participate in public life with the dignity and respect they deserve.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 25(source)

Programs like the Monroe County Library's Wired for Connection initiative create opportunities for our community. Alongside the leadership of County Executive Bello, this represents exactly what we should be investing in: people, families, and our future.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 25(source)

We always look forward to hosting the Buffalo Bills training camp here in Rochester at St. John Fisher University. Our community will be cheering them on all season long. #GoBills!

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 24(source)

I join our community in mourning the loss of Chuck Mangione—jazz legend and proud son of Rochester. His contributions to jazz and to our city’s cultural legacy will never be forgotten. My thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans around the world.

This week, I had the joy of visiting the National Air and Space Museum ahead of the opening of five new galleries next week. I'm proud to support an institution that preserves our nation's history and inspires a sense of adventure for generations to come.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 24(source)

I met with the American Retirement Association to discuss our shared mission to support Americans as they age. Retirees deserve deserve safety, stability, and security, which is why I'm working to advance policies that ensure Social Security remains strong for generations to come.

No one should be denied life saving health care. The Republican budget only makes a strained system worse. I won't stop fighting to protect access for our neighbors.

Strong, Highland brace for 'difficult years ahead' with federal changes

Federal cuts to Medicaid could translate to a loss of about $20 million to Strong and Highland hospitals.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 24(source)

Today, we remember U.S. Capitol Police Officer Jacob Chestnut and Detective John Gibson who were senselessly murdered protecting our Capitol 27 years ago. To our Capitol Police officers, we deeply appreciate the sacrifices you and your loved ones make on behalf of our democracy.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 23(source)

Speaker Johnson refuses to hang the plaque honoring the officers who defended the Capitol on January 6th. We won't forget their service. Post the plaque.

Every American has the right to vote confidently in free and fair elections; no eligible voter should fear their vote wasn't counted.
