Joseph Morelle, a U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 25th district, has voiced his concerns regarding the actions of President Trump and their implications on various sectors of society. In a series of tweets, Morelle criticized decisions made by the Trump Administration that he believes negatively impact education, the economy, and senior citizens.
On March 13, 2025, Morelle expressed his disapproval of President Trump’s decision to reduce funding for the Department of Education. He stated that “President Trump’s decision to gut the Department of Education is reckless and cruel.” He further elaborated that these cuts would deprive vulnerable children of opportunities and adversely affect teachers while benefiting billionaires with tax breaks amidst an economic downturn.
Later on the same day, at 17:45 UTC, Morelle commented on the state of the stock market under the Trump Administration. He remarked that it was “another day of the Trump Administration, another day of the stock market tanking,” indicating a decline in working families’ savings due to economic instability.
In a subsequent tweet posted at 20:13 UTC, Morelle criticized Trump’s handling of senior citizens’ benefits. He emphasized that “Donald Trump is playing a dangerous game with the benefits millions of seniors rely on.” According to Morelle, these funds are crucial for older Americans who depend on them for essential expenses like bills and groceries.
