Joseph Morelle, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 25th district, has recently expressed his concerns on social media regarding various political and economic issues affecting his constituents. His tweets highlight the impact of federal policies on local jobs, social security, and community businesses.

On March 19, 2025, Morelle criticized President Trump's tariff policies, stating that they threaten regional employment. "Here in our region, exports to Canada support over 3,500 jobs. President Trump's reckless tariffs directly put these workers and their families' livelihoods in jeopardy. He's playing dangerous games and our community will pay the price."

In a subsequent tweet dated March 20, 2025, Morelle addressed proposed cuts to Social Security by the Trump Administration. He emphasized the program's importance for Americans who have contributed throughout their careers. "Social Security is a program millions of Americans rely on after paying into it over their entire careers. It's not a playground for the Trump Administration to make devastating cuts without a second thought to how our seniors will be hurt."

Later that day, Morelle congratulated Genesee Brewery on its new canning line in Rochester as part of their modernization efforts. He recognized the brewery's role in the local community's identity and future development. "Congratulations to @GeneseeBrewery on the unveiling of their new canning line! Whatever your story, here in Rochester, Genesee brewery is part of who we are. I'm excited to see their modernization project continue and usher them in to a new era."
