Grateful to join Bryan Fair, interim President of @splcenter.org to discuss our shared work to safeguard voters' rights across the country. As top democrat on the Committee on House Admin., I'll keep fighting to ensure every American has the right to vote confidently in free and fair elections.

Education is opportunity. But the Republican budget slams the door on young people trying to build a better future. We should be opening doors—not holding them closed.

56 years ago, Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface cementing America as a global leader in innovation. Today, that leadership is being threatened by cuts to research and education programs that will leave our children in second place.

177 years ago, trailblazers like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott met at the first Woman's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls just outside of #ROC. I'm proud continue the fight to secure access to the ballot box for all eligible Americans.

Trump's budget includes $200 billion in cuts to SNAP, and a shift in cost-sharing that could force some states to shut down SNAP entirely. Families won't just get less—they could get nothing.

Looking back on my time working with my friend and colleague John Lewis helps remind me why I’m here and just how important making good trouble is.
Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 18(source)
Invest in working families! While the cost of living continues to rise, the Trump administration would rather give handouts for billionaires than prioritize affordability and the resources American families need to thrive.
Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 18(source)
Once again, House Republicans are rubber-stamping reckless and cruel spending cuts that will have a direct impact on communities like ours.
Ripping away free educational resources like Sesame Street does nothing to improve the lives of our children and does not move us any closer to solving the real challenges our families face. My Republican colleagues need to stop bending the knee to Donald Trump and start standing up and standing with Democrats to protect the programs, resources, and fundamental rights Americans rely on.

Today marks five years since we lost a good friend and incredible advocate for the American people, Congressman John Lewis. We honor his memory by continuing the fight he and so many others have bravely fought to ensure every eligible American voter's access to the ballot box.

As the Founder and Co-Chair of the Optics and Photonics Caucus, I’m proud to continue advocating for increased government investment in quantum. It is Congress’ responsibility to work across the aisle to maintain America’s leadership in this space.
Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 17(source)
Thank you to all the quantum-based companies and innovators who visited Capitol Hill today! These technologies are the future of advancements in communication, computing, sensing, and much more, and it was great to see all the impressive instruments on display.

I met with Secure Families to discuss how we can help military families better access the ballot box. As leader of the House Administration Committee, I've worked with them in the past & will continue to do so—our military families deserve to have their voices heard as they fight for our safety.
Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 16(source)
Refusing to answer basic questions is not leadership—it's a betrayal of public trust. The American people have a right to know how their president and cabinet are wielding power.

Glad to welcome members of the Brewers Association in D.C. today to discuss the vital role small and independent breweries play in our economy and communities. Together we're supporting local jobs and innovation, in our region and beyond.
Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govJul 16(source)
Republicans are eager to cut billions of dollars from NSF, scientific research, and education budgets. Under their Commerce, Justice, Science bill, America will fall behind as global innovation leader. Our economy—and our children—will pay the price.
