U.S. Congressman Joseph Morelle, representing New York’s 25th district, used his Twitter account to criticize recent legislative efforts regarding insider trading and congressional accountability.

On January 20, 2026, Morelle posted: “The ‘Stop Insider Trading Act’ put forth by my Republican colleagues does nothing to stop Trump’s self-dealing actions. We need real change that restores trust in our government.”
On January 21, 2026, Morelle encouraged constituents to stay informed about his work: “Stay up to date on what’s happening in our community and how I’m making your voice heard in Washington. Subscribe to my weekly e-mail newsletter below.”
