It's National Intern Day! I'm grateful for our hardworking intern teams whose dedication makes a difference in our office every day. Engaging in public service is vital for the future of our democracy—and I'm inspired by the next generation of leaders who step up to serve.

We made our Afghan allies a promise in exchange for their courage and loyalty. Failing to honor that promise is unacceptable and will have severe consequences on our moral standing in the world.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 31(source)

Grateful to join seniors at Centro de Oro for a meaningful conversation on threats to Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP, and how we can uplift our community. Their voices are vital—and I’ll keep fighting in Washington to protect the programs they depend on.

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

The Republican budget will cause more than 15 million people to lose their health care and make health care costs skyrocket for millions more. I'm committed to to stopping Trump’s Medicaid cuts, rebuilding our healthcare system, and ensuring every American has access to care.

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

For decades, Medicaid and Medicare have helped Americans in every zip code access high-quality, affordable health care. On the 60th anniversary of these programs we should be focused on strengthening them, not ripping care away.

This decision not only abandons our allies, it weakens our credibility and puts our future national security at risk. Read more:

The Trump administration’s decision to shut down federal programs designed to resettle Afghan nationals who risked their lives to protect American troops is unconscionable.

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

I'm excited to welcome the new President of the Rochester Institute of Technology, Bill Sanders, to Rochester! I look forward to our work together to strengthen higher education opportunities and prepare our leaders for the workforce of tomorrow.

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

My priority is to support the needs of families and ensure they have the resources to thrive. Trump's budget is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in American history, putting families at risk of falling into the cycle of poverty.

Trump’s Big Bill Would Be More Regressive Than Any Major Law in Decades

Estimates from the Congressional Budget Office, released Thursday, offer a detailed view into the effects on income groups.

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

On this day in 1958, NASA was created—igniting a legacy of discovery that reshaped our understanding of the universe. Today, as the Trump administration attempts to gut scientific research programs, we must recommit to funding the discoveries of our future.

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

Throughout my career, I've worked to enhance protections for those with pre-existing conditions and eliminate surprise medical bills. I'll keep fighting to make healthcare accessible for every family.

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

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.

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.
