Joseph Morelle, a current U.S. Congress member representing New York's 25th district, has shared his views on several important issues via social media. Morelle, who has served in Congress since 2018 after succeeding Louise Slaughter, uses his platform to address both local and national concerns.
On March 6, 2025, Morelle expressed support for a significant initiative aimed at establishing a museum dedicated to Frederick Douglass. He stated: "I'm proud to support this historic effort to create a museum in honor of Frederick Douglass and his contributions to our nation." He emphasized the importance of Douglass's legacy in Rochester and the necessity of preserving it for future generations.
Later that day, Morelle addressed employment terminations at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). He noted: "Since January 20, at least 2,400 employees have been terminated at the VA, including support staff from the Veterans' Crisis Line." Highlighting the critical role these employees play, he mentioned sending a letter to Secretary Collins regarding this issue.
In another post on March 6, 2025, Morelle criticized plans affecting veteran care services. He remarked: "Gutting the organization that cares for our veterans is truly heartless." He accused President Trump of prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires over supporting veterans who defended the country.
