Joseph Morelle, a U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 25th district, took to social media to express his opinions on a range of topics, from President Trump's recent Executive Order to the awaited return of Major League Baseball and concerns over potential Medicaid cuts. Morelle succeeded Louise Slaughter in Congress in 2018 and has been an active voice on various matters since his election.

On March 27, 2025, Congressman Morelle made a statement regarding President Trump's recent Executive Order on elections, describing it as "an affront to the 236 year history of our democracy." He further stated that it represented "a power grab that will disenfranchise millions of Americans—we cannot allow it to go into effect." Additional details on his thoughts can be found here.

Later that day, Morelle shared his enthusiasm for Major League Baseball Opening Day. In his post, he commented on the importance of the event, saying, "There’s nothing like MLB Opening Day. It's the return of shared traditions, franchise rivalries, and communities coming together around the game so many love." He concluded with a rallying cry for America’s beloved sport: "Here’s to the return of America's Game—Play Ball!" The post is accessible here.

On March 28, 2025, Morelle voiced concerns about proposed Medicaid cuts that could affect vulnerable populations. He wrote, ""Children, the elderly and disabled living in nursing homes, and New Yorkers in rural communities across upstate would be hit hardest by Medicaid cuts." He emphasized the human impact of these numbers, noting that they represent "real people who will lose access to lifesaving care." For further information, see his full post here.
