Joseph Morelle, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 25th district, recently expressed concerns through a series of tweets regarding budgetary decisions and their impact on various social services. Morelle, who succeeded Louise Slaughter in 2018, has been vocal about issues affecting working families and social welfare programs.
On March 11, 2025, Morelle criticized House Republicans for allegedly neglecting their duty to create a budget that supports working families. He claimed they have permitted former President Trump to "gut veterans’ services, slash Social Security retirement benefits, and strip healthcare from seniors and children" to finance substantial tax cuts. The full tweet can be found here.
In another tweet posted shortly after on the same day, Morelle described these actions as not only "fiscally reckless" but also as an intentional assault on the welfare of ordinary Americans. He accused Trump of prioritizing his interests over those of working families. This statement is available here.
The following day, March 12, 2025, Morelle addressed the significance of Medicaid in women's health programs across the United States. He noted that efforts by the Trump Administration to target this program put women and their families at risk. In collaboration with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), he discussed Medicaid's crucial role in supporting these health initiatives. Details of this meeting are shared here.
