Morelle highlighted issues related to healthcare cuts and introduced new legislation aimed at supporting volunteer programs for seniors.

In a tweet posted on March 10, 2025, at 13:31 UTC, Morelle criticized the Trump Administration’s budget plans. He stated that these plans would "cut healthcare for children and seniors—impacting more than 150,000 people in our community alone." He encouraged those affected by potential Medicaid cuts to share their stories through a provided form. "The Trump Administration’s budget plans would cut healthcare for children and seniors—impacting more than 150,000 people in our community alone."

Later that day, at 15:32 UTC, Morelle announced the introduction of legislation to support volunteer programs like Meals on Wheels. He emphasized the importance of these programs in delivering food to older and vulnerable Americans and praised the volunteers who are dedicated to aiding seniors nationwide.

At 17:20 UTC on the same day, Morelle commented on the impending government shutdown attributed to Donald Trump. He accused Trump of failing to make efforts toward enacting a cost-lowering budget while pushing a partisan bill that reduces veterans' benefits and funding for seniors and healthcare. "We're 4 days from Donald Trump shutting down the government."
