Joe Morelle, U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 25th district since 2018, addressed key policy issues in a series of tweets posted on July 28, 2025. Morelle, who succeeded Louise Slaughter and previously served in the New York State Assembly for nearly three decades, highlighted the importance of Social Security and access to reproductive healthcare.
In his first tweet at 16:16 UTC, Morelle wrote: “Social Security has supported seniors for 89 years—this program is a lifeline. We must protect it for the people who depend on it.”
Later that day at 20:01 UTC, he commented on proposed federal budget changes: “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.”
At 21:13 UTC, Morelle encouraged constituents to follow his legislative activities: “Stay up to date with the important work I’m doing in Congress by signing up for my weekly newsletter: https://t.co/JxIFrvYOXI”
