In a series of tweets posted this April, Joe Morelle, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 25th district, shared his views on the impact of former President Trump's policies and reminded individuals of important tax-related deadlines. Morelle, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress since replacing former member Louise Slaughter in 2018, has a history in politics that stretches back to his time in the New York State Assembly between 1991 and 2018.

On April 13, Morelle stated, "From the supermarket to the stock market—Americans are paying the price for Trump’s reckless agenda." The congressman's tweet did not elaborate on specifics but pointed to the economic repercussions he associates with Trump's policies.

The following day, Morelle, who was born in 1957 and graduated with a BA from the State University of New York at Geneseo in 1986, issued a reminder via Twitter concerning the IRS guidelines. On April 14, he tweeted, "REMINDER: The deadline to file a 2024 federal tax return or request an extension is tomorrow, April 15th! For more information to help make this process as stress-free as possible, visit the IRS website where you can use their 'Where's my refund?' tool to track your return."

Later the same day, Morelle posted another tweet criticizing Trump, emphasizing the administration's impact on the public by highlighting, "The U.S. government should serve the people. Instead, Trump is making life harder for families just trying to make ends meet." Again, specifics about those policies were not provided in the tweet.

Morelle, 65, originally from Utica, New York and currently residing in Irondequoit, maintains an active presence on social media where he frequently discusses national financial issues and policies. Further details on his political career and service can be seen here.
