A quick reminder on the U.S. Constitution for my Republican colleagues: Article I, Section 4 makes clear that the President has no role in administering our elections.

It’s #NationalApprenticeshipWeek! Apprenticeships prepare the next generation of workers for their careers, while strengthening our community and local economy. I’m committed to expanding these programs and connecting more young people to good-paying jobs.

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

What happened at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is deeply disturbing. Thankful the officer that was shot is expected to fully recover and grateful for the swift response from law enforcement. There is no justification for political violence. This cannot become the new normal in America.

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

When I talk to business leaders here in Rochester, they all share the same feeling, predictability is critical to their success. The Trump Administration brings nothing but chaos for our local businesses.

House Republicans may not like to hear it, but it's true. Donald Trump cannot accept he lost the 2020 election and as a result, he has dragged the entire Republican Party down a path that harms the American people.

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

As top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'm working to make sure every American has the chance to make their voices heard at the ballot box. We won't allow voters or election officials to be intimidated by the Trump Administration.

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

Today, amidst National Library Week, we celebrate the founding of the Library of Congress. For over 200 years, the Library of Congress has expanded access to knowledge and supported our democracy. Proud to support this mission through my work on the Committee on House Administration.

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

Once again, Donald Trump is off on an unhinged rant about the fairness of an election where votes didn't go his way. He cannot accept defeat. We will not allow him to silence the voices of American voters.

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

Not even Donald Trump’s own Secretary of Commerce is on the same page with how he’s handling the economy. We need transparent leadership that puts American families and workers first. That’s not what we’re getting from President Trump.

STATEMENT FROM CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE ON DOLORES BUSTAMANTE ROMERO

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle released the following statement regarding reports that Dolores Bustamante Romero has been detained by ICE and is set to be deported:“If reports of Do...

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

What is happening to Dolores Bustamante is tragic. She is a mother, a worker, and a neighbor who has built her life here in Rochester. The Trump Administration's continued persecution of people who have come from other places is disgraceful, reprehensible, and un-American.

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

Join us as we hear from Secretary Howard Lutnick on the FY27 budget request for the Department of Commerce. This is a key moment to discuss investments in jobs, technology, and economic opportunity. Follow along:

A democracy that doesn't have the faith of the people becomes an existential threat. @hcrichardson.bsky.social and I discussed the need to restore trust in our government and hold the Trump Administration accountable on her podcast, "American Conversations."

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govApr 22(source)

Congressman David Scott devoted his life to public service and expanding opportunity for the people of Georgia and our nation. My thoughts are with his family, loved ones, and all those who had the privilege of knowing him.

Rep. David Scott, a Georgia Democrat, dies at 80

Scott, the first Black chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, was first elected to Congress in 2002 and was facing a competitive primary.

From the shores of Lake Ontario to our neighborhood parks filled with lilac blooms, this Earth Day, I’m thinking about what makes our community so special. While we celebrate our planet, we must recognize our responsibility to protect it for our health and future generations.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govApr 22(source)

I'm back today with the Appropriations Committee marking up the Financial Services & General Government bill. We need these investments to work for the middle class, not the Trump Administration's billionaire friends. Follow along:

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govApr 22(source)

He pardons violent extremists—January 6 offenders—while charging @splcenter.org, a civil rights organization that’s spent decades taking on the KKK.

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on charges that it fraudulently paid informants in extremist groups

The head of the civil rights organization said the group was "outraged by the false allegations" leveled against it.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govApr 21(source)

Great to be with @reptedlieu.bsky.social for a briefing on election security this week. We're going to stop any attempts by the Trump Administration to restrict free and fair elections.
