[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

Bill Pulte is wholly unqualified to serve as the Director of National Intelligence. The Intelligence Community must support election administrators and defend our election critical infrastructure.

It cannot be led by a corrupt yes-man devoted to Trump’s personal vengeance agenda.

New: Democrats are launching an anti-corruption task force to build their agenda for overhauling ethics across all of government. The group includes some of the party's biggest stars.

Watchdog groups hope it leads to major reforms, not just talking points

"We've made huge progress," says @SECPaulSAtkins on his work at the SEC.

"Rather than fending off new, innovative types of technologies, we're embracing them."

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

.@SpeakerJohnson your turn.

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

This is coming from the administration that pardoned 1600 violent insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol and the law enforcement officers fighting to protect it.

[Aidan McLaughlin @aidnmclaughlin]

"It’s almost like trying to recreate 9/11 or Pearl Harbor with a positive spin," says @RepJoeMorelle.

Democrats are fighting efforts from the Trump White House to rewrite the history of the riot at the US Capitol. Are they losing?

President Trump lit the flame that started the January 6th attack on our Capitol, and Congressional Republicans who continue to choose cowardice and protect the guilty have only fanned the flames.

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I’m trying to cut back on bad fiction this year. I highly recommend the non-fiction version:

[Dan Eggen @DanEggenDC]

From @pkcapitol: A hidden plaque symbolizes the battle over how Jan. 6 should be viewed. House Republicans continue to hide a plaque honoring the police who defended the Capitol in 2021, almost three years after a law passed requiring its display. https://t.co/AKMOrqjw0a

[Paul Kane @pkcapitol]

… my Jan 6 column, 5 years on.

https://t.co/UwG2f2uDBI

[Paul Kane @pkcapitol]

The plaque is several feet wide, several feet high. It was last seen in a basement workshop of a House office bldg next to a mini-frig, a scooter & set of small lockers.

How that plague’s hidden status has come to symbolize almost everything about that day 5 years ago … link .

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

Speaker Johnson isn’t refusing to hang the J6 plaque out of principle—he’s afraid of President Trump. And in that fear, he’s choosing silence over honor for the Capitol Police and law enforcement officers who protected Congress and our democracy on January 6th.

This isn’t leadership—it’s cowardice, and history will judge him justly.

[House Democrats @HouseDemocrats]

Trump gave Argentina $40 billion, but it could've been spent making life better for AMERICANS.

Here's how:
- Developing a cure for pediatric cancer
- Delivering health care to millions of Americans
- Building VA hospitals
- Paying farmers already struggling with Trump's tariffs

NEW: It's unconstitutional for Pennsylvania officials to discard mail-in ballots simply because the outer envelope is undated or misdated, a federal appeals court ruled, finding the requirement disenfranchised thousands with negligible benefits.

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

Donald Trump is scared of voters, so he’s attacking vote-by-mail and rigging the rules to protect himself.

This is corrupt and an ugly power grab. The courts—and the American people—should see through it.

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

Today I had my first meeting with our new @CapitolPolice Chief Sullivan to discuss security priorities and confirm that our law enforcement partners have the resources they need.

This partnership helps ensure Americans feel safe when they come to the Capitol to make their voices heard.

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

This abomination of a bill is simply corrupt and cruel.

Alongside @RepJeffries, I'm committed to ending corruption in our government.

[Taylor Giorno @taylorgiorno_]

NEW: Democratic committee leaders are asking the FTC to hand over documents related to the Republican fundraising platform WinRed, according to a new letter exclusively shared with NOTUS. https://t.co/4lZIZono73

[Joe Morelle @RepJoeMorelle]

In the wake of the horrifying violence in Minnesota, elected officials at all levels are understandably concerned.

As top Democrat on @HouseAdm_Dems I'm working with my colleagues and law enforcement to keep members of Congress safe.

For 175 years the Smithsonian has been a beacon of American culture, bringing us together. “President Trump has no authority to fire employees of the Smithsonian Institution — including the director of the National Portrait Gallery,” said RM @RepJoeMorelle.https://t.co/IA992Hrneu
