It was an honor to welcome leaders and changemakers from Rochester to my Washington office last week. During our Constituent Coffee Hour, we had important conversations about our community’s most pressing needs.

Proud to stand with @scanlon.house.gov as we work to protect every American's voice in our elections.

Tomorrow, I'm leading a Spotlight Hearing to explore how you can make sure your voice is heard as you cast your vote, and how election officials and volunteers ensure our elections are accurate and secure. Tune in at 2 pm. youtube.com/live/qfqJvPI...

ICE officials will not be intimidating voters at polling locations this November. It is against the law. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are prepared to defend voters from any intimidation at the polls.

America leads the world in medical research because scientists, not politicians, decide which research has the most promise. Putting NIH funding in the hands of political appointees should alarm all of us.

Federal officials are drafting an executive order that would place grants under review by an outside panel, the latest effort to redirect billions of dollars in research spending.

Playoff baseball is back in Rochester! I couldn't be more excited for our Rochester Red Wings. For the first time in 13 years, the Wings are headed to the postseason. This is a special moment for a team that means so much to Rochester and generations of fans across our community.

ICE shot and wounded another person today, this time in Austin. Their chaos and cruelty are unacceptable. Americans should not have to fear their own government. The public deserves answers and accountability. https://bit.ly/4xyQNBu

G'mar Tov to the many families, friends, and neighbors observing Yom Kippur. May you have a peaceful and meaningful fast.

Our elections ARE safe and secure. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will make sure Americans have every opportunity to render their verdict in November.

Tune in at 12:15 PM ET on @connectmsnow with @jacobsoboroff, where I’ll discuss the cost of living and Trump’s attacks on our democracy.

Know that we are fighting to protect your voice in our elections, and we're winning. We know there are more threats coming. We know the President won't stop, but neither will we.

Service Academy Nomination Applications are due Friday, 10/23! We're looking for high school students interested in applying to one of our nation’s prestigious military academies. Visit my website for more information:

The American people fear for their families’ futures, and they want us to rein in the most corrupt administration in the history of our country. That's what I'm fighting for in Congress.

I’m proud of the work my office does every day to help members of our community navigate federal agencies, access important resources, and secure money owed to them. To learn how we may be able to assist you or someone you know, check out my webpage: morelle.house.gov

Election administrators have an obligation to facilitate elections in a fair and just way. We will not tolerate intimidation and we're prepared for any attempt to silence American voices.

Stay up to date with the important work I'm doing in Congress by signing up for my weekly newsletter here:

This ruling is a victory for free speech and another reminder of how far ICE has strayed from its mission. Federal agents tracked down a Rochester resident and threatened him over protected political speech. That is unacceptable, and it has no place in America. https://bit.ly/4cRede2

Elections in chaos are easier to disrupt. That is Donald Trump's goal. We are prepared for this. American elections will remain safe, secure, and fair.

It's National Voter Registration Day! Make sure your voice is heard in November: ✅Confirm your registration status. ✅Identify your local polling station. ✅Vote early, or drop off your ballot at a physical drop box. ✅Contact your local board of elections with any questions.

Tonight, the Supreme Court refused to silence the millions of Americans who vote by mail. I have travelled across the country talking to local officials and I know that our elections are safe and secure, despite Trump’s threats. We are ready to face any challenge to free and fair elections.

Election Day is just 50 days away, but Donald Trump is still trying to silence American voters. He will not succeed.

Trump promised a “boom,” but what we got was devastation. According to a @jecdems.bsky.social report, 150,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost since Trump began his second term. He has failed working families everywhere.

The Justice Department has not been successful in any effort to grab voter rolls from states.

The SAVE America Act has never been about securing elections. The midterm election is just weeks away, and House Republicans want to immediately implement legislation that would upend our elections and make it harder for millions of Americans to vote.

This is Jim Crow 2.0. The Supreme Court's continued weakening of the Voting Rights Act threatens the fundamental right of every American to have an equal voice in our democracy. We cannot be silent and I am grateful to see advocates like LaShawn Warren speaking out.

Trump’s unprecedented corruption, ill-advised tariffs, and illegal war have made the cost of living skyrocket for millions of American families.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the horrors of 9/11. I was in New York that day, and I think often of the victims and of the first responders who rushed in to save lives. I also think about the way America came together in the face of tragedy with a unity of purpose. We shall never forget.

I spoke with @tryandstopus.org about our major national effort underway to make sure our midterm elections are safe and secure, despite Trump's threats. Your vote is your voice and your voice is your power. Make sure your voice is heard!

This is the latest attack from extremists who are pushing for a national abortion ban. Reproductive rights are an essential freedom and we will not back down from the fight to secure these rights for every woman in America.
