Committee on House Admn. Democrats
@HouseAdm_Dems
RM @RepJoeMorelle led Committee conducting oversight of @Smithsonian, @librarycongress, @CapitolPolice, @FEC, @EACgov, @uscapitol, @USGPO & federal elections.
Tonight, President Trump fired a patriotic public servant. @LibnOfCongress has spent her entire career serving people—from helping kids learn to read to protecting some of our nation’s most precious treasures. She is an American hero.
United States @CapitolPolice Officers Jacob Chestnut and Detective John Gibson served our nation & protected the Capitol Community with honor and bravery. Years later, we remember and pay tribute to these men who gave the last full measure of devotion.
No one is above the law. It's past time that we right the wrong perpetrated by the Roberts court & undo Trump vs. United States. @RepJoeMorelle's constitutional amendment will help preserve American democracy & ensure presidents are held accountable.
The President of the United States should be equal in the eyes of the law with every other American. My constitutional amendment would reverse the Supreme Court's disastrous decision to put the President beyond accountability.
Just over a year ago, SCOTUS handed down a disastrous ruling giving presidents absolute immunity from criminal prosecution. Today, I reintroduced my constitutional amendment to make sure presidents are held accountable under the law.
This abomination of a bill is simply corrupt and cruel. Alongside @RepJeffries, I'm committed to ending corruption in our government.
I firmly believe our campaign finance system should empower the people, not the wealthy and the well-connected. The Supreme Court’s decision to consider the Republican Party’s latest assault on anti-corruption rules is alarming—I encourage the Court to reject this challenge…
ICYMI @RepJoeMorelle, @RepRaskin & @RepRobertGarcia requested documents from the FTC related to any investigations, findings, and penalties imposed on WinRed. "If the American people cannot trust their political system, it is failing them." Read more➡️democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-re…
My staff and I are in close contact with the House sergeant at arms and the U.S. Capitol Police to proactively ensure the safety of Minnesota’s congressional delegation. We continue to thank dedicated law enforcement officers for their service in our communities across the…
Mary Beth and I are deeply saddened and disturbed by the apparent targeted political attacks in Minnesota. Violence is never the answer, and all forms of political violence should always be condemned. We’re praying for State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, and praying for…
I welcome the newly appointed U.S. Capitol Police Chief, Michael Sullivan, who brings years of experience with him to Washington. I look forward to working together to ensure a safe Capitol Complex for Members, visitors, and staff.
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.bit.ly/3HpRQiX
"Sadly, my Republican colleagues continue to insult the officers who risked — and in some cases lost — their lives defending democracy. It’s disgraceful this conversation is even necessary,” said Ranking Member @RepJoeMorelle.
GOP won’t install Jan. 6 plaque honoring law enforcement, Democrats say washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/05…
The charges against Rep. LaMonica McIver are a direct attack on Congress’s duty to conduct oversight of the Trump administration. I stand with my colleague—and with every Member fighting to serve the American people without fear. These politically motived charges need to be…
Congratulations to the latest graduating class of @CapitolPolice Officers! Thank you for your service and dedication to the safety of the U.S. Capitol, Members, visitors, and staff.
In honor of Police Week here on Capitol Hill, I introduced a Resolution to direct the @uscapitol to install the plaque. Unfortunately, my Republican colleagues continue to disrespect the officers who risked and gave their lives protecting the Capitol on January 6th.
Leader @RepJeffries made it clear that the plaque honoring law enforcement who responded & protected the U.S. Capitol on January 6 must be displayed. House Republicans must comply with the law. We must honor the sacrifices these officers and agencies made on that dark day.
During Police Week, House Democrats demand the plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded, protected our U.S. Capitol, and our democracy on January 6th be properly displayed. The law instructs us to, and House Republicans failed to comply.
You can read Ranking Member @RepJoeMorelle's letter to the @librarycongress' Inspector General here: democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-re…
The baseless firing of the Librarian of Congress and illegitimate removal of the @CopyrightOffice Director is an assault on Congressional authority and independence. I've asked the LOC Inspector General to investigate potential improper access to confidential congressional data.
You can read Ranking Member @RepJoeMorelle's full statement on the abrupt firing of Shira Perlmutter, Register of Copyrights and Director of the U.S. Copyright Office, here: democrats-cha.house.gov/media/press-re…
Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis. It's surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to…
