Joseph Morelle, a representative currently serving New York's 25th district in the U.S. Congress, shared a series of tweets on April 3, 2025, addressing key issues such as economic policies, food safety regulations, and the impact of federal support programs. Morelle succeeded Louise Slaughter in 2018, after serving in the New York State Assembly from 1991 to 2018.

In a tweet dated April 3, 2025, at 15:11:12 UTC, Morelle criticized actions that may lead to economic downturns, emphasizing the need for economic strategies that prioritize the welfare of Americans. "Inciting a trade war with our allies and tanking our economy isn't putting America first. Lower costs for hard working Americans—that's how we put them first."

Later the same day at 19:54:06 UTC, Morelle highlighted the importance of food safety regulations in a discussion with representatives from the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI). He noted, "Food safety regulations help keep families safe when they put food on the table. Organizations like @AFFI are working to ensure everyone has access to safe and convenient food options." He expressed gratitude towards the AFFI representatives for their work and their meeting in Washington.

An hour later, at 20:54:13 UTC, Morelle tweeted about the significance of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for his constituency, while critiquing policy changes. "The LIHEAP program has been life-changing for thousands in our community—helping people warm their homes during Rochester's grueling winters. This is the latest example of President Trump's policies cutting services so billionaires can have lower taxes."
