Joseph Morelle, a U.S. Congressman representing New York's 25th district, has recently shared his thoughts on social media regarding economic policies and local events. Morelle, who succeeded Louise Slaughter in 2018, is known for his active engagement with constituents and issues affecting them.

On February 5, 2025, Morelle expressed concern over the impact of tariffs on consumer prices. He stated: "The American people asked for lower costs. Instead, they’re going to get higher grocery bills caused by reckless and unnecessary tariffs—all while President Trump’s billionaire friends get tax breaks."

Later that day, he reflected on a meeting with members of the Special Olympics New York delegation. He remarked: "Honored to meet with members of our @SpecOlympicsNY delegation yesterday! The dedication these athletes display is an inspiration to us all, and I wish them the best of luck in this year's games!" This post was made at 18:40 UTC.

Morelle also highlighted a meeting with Engineering Deans in Washington, including representatives from the University of Rochester. On February 5 at 20:31 UTC, he tweeted: "Honored to welcome Engineering Deans to Washington today, including a group from @UofR! We discussed the innovative work happening at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics and how we can continue to work together to strengthen our workforce and local economy."
