Birthright citizenship goes to the very heart of what makes America exceptional and a beacon of freedom and opportunity. This unconstitutional executive order is part of the Donald Trump’s dangerous attempt to redefine who gets to call themselves an American.

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

Donald Trump fears the American people and is willing to violate the Constitution to stop them from voting. His Executive Order is illegal, dangerous and subversive. It will not stand.

Trump signs order limiting mail-in voting

The order directs the Postal Service to only send mail-in ballots to an approved list of voters.

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

The SAVE America Act would make it harder for Americans to register to vote. In rural communities, the nearest board of elections could be hours away. Traveling there to register is a significant barrier.

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

I'm grateful for their work and proud to lift up their voices. Read more:

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE HONORS TRAILBLAZING WOMEN IN OUR COMMUNITY DURING WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

(Rochester, N.Y.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle hosted his first Women’s History Month Recognition Ceremony, honoring outstanding women from across the Rochester community whose leadership, service, ...

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

Honored to celebrate Women’s History Month by recognizing incredible women across our community whose leadership makes Rochester stronger every day. By entering their achievements into the Congressional Record, we’re preserving their stories and impact for future generations.

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

Republicans want to kick MORE hardworking Americans off their healthcare to pay for Trump's war in Iran. This is not what families want, need, or deserve. https://www.axios.com/2026/03/30/gop-health-care-pay-iran-war

GOP weighs health care cuts to pay for Iran war

New efforts to rein in health programs open the GOP up to attacks that they're cutting health care to pay for an unpopular war.

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

SAVE America Act registration requirements will make voting far more difficult, especially for women and those in rural communities. We need to be expanding access to the ballot so more eligible Americans participate in our elections, not fewer.

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

We need to change course and put the cost of living at the center of every decision because supporting families here at home isn’t optional. It’s our job.

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

The numbers just don’t add up for Rochester families. Even when they’re working hard, costs keep rising. When Washington should be focused on creating stability, President Trump has chosen to focus on Middle Eastern politics and personal enrichment.

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE RAISES ALARM ON RISING COSTS

(Rochester, N.Y.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle held a press conference to bring attention to rising costs for working families, warning that recent decisions in Washington are making the affordabili...

Proud to celebrate 15 years of @newdealleaders.bsky.social. This is an organization committed to developing the next generation of Democratic leaders and delivering real results for communities across the country. Here’s to continued progress. Happy 15th, NewDEAL!

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

This is the first President in American history, that I'm aware of, who's tried to make Americans' lives harder. The Trump Administration must be held accountable for the harm they're causing.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govMar 28(source)

Across the country, Americans are organizing and gathering to stand up for our democracy at No Kings Day rallies. I joined @publiccitizen.bsky.social to talk about how we must defend Americans’ fundamental rights.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govMar 28(source)

$25 Billion could make a real difference in American lives across the country. Instead of investing in American families, Donald Trump unilaterally wrote a check and spent that money in Iran.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govMar 28(source)

Our democracy depends on every voice being heard and every vote being counted. I joined @publiccitizen.bsky.social this week to talk about how I'm fighting to protect access to the ballot for every American.

CONGRESSMAN JOE MORELLE REFUSES TO FUND ICE, CBP

(Washington, D.C.)—Today, Congressman Joe Morelle released the following statement on his vote against funding for the Department of Homeland Security, which gives a blank check to out of control agen...

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govMar 28(source)

I voted NO on blank checks for ICE and CBP. Until these agencies meet basic standards: requiring judicial warrants, respecting civil rights, and operating with full transparency, Congress should not be extending their funding.

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

Donald Trump said voting is a privilege. I take enormous issue with that. Voting is an inalienable right and people shouldn't have to go through all kinds of hoops to demonstrate they're eligible to vote.

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

Trump's ill-conceived military action has neither the support of Congress nor the support of American families. It has no clear objectives, shifting goals, and has alienated our allies and made us less safe. Heather Cox Richardson writes about this and more:

March 26, 2026

In an interview with Reuters on Monday, Singapore’s minister for foreign affairs, Dr.

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

The SAVE America Act would give your private voter information to the Department of Homeland Security. It's wrong.

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

We have a compromise which would fund TSA, the Coast Guard, and FEMA, but Speaker Johnson just rejected it on national TV. I didn't think anyone could sound as deranged as Donald Trump, but this comes close.
