Joseph Morelle, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 25th district, recently shared his thoughts on various significant issues through a series of tweets. Morelle has been in office since 2018, succeeding Louise Slaughter. His recent social media activity addresses executive orders by Donald Trump, voting rights, and the legacy of Rosa Parks.
On February 3, 2025, Morelle commented on the impact of executive orders issued by former President Donald Trump. He stated that “The chaos caused by Donald Trump’s executive orders underscores why we must stand united and fight back—in the courts, in Congress, and in our communities.” He emphasized that these actions affect “real lives, real families,” and touch upon “the fundamental rights that define America.”
Later that day, Morelle reflected on the historical significance of the 15th Amendment’s ratification on February 3, 1870. He tweeted about its importance in granting black men the right to vote: “The fight to protect every American’s right to vote has been a long one—and we’re not done yet.” He expressed pride in continuing efforts with House Administration Democrats to maintain free and fair elections.
On February 4, 2025, Morelle honored civil rights icon Rosa Parks on her birthday. In his tweet, he highlighted her role in sparking a historic movement through civil disobedience: “Today we honor the birthday of civil rights icon Rosa Parks…her legacy inspires us to keep fighting for full equality for every American.” He criticized current administration policies as wrongfully portraying diversity as an adversary.
