A young man is dead because an ICE agent pulled the trigger in Biddeford, Maine. He was 26.

Behind every headline like this is a family whose lives have been shattered. The callousness of this administration's immigration agenda has a body count.

House Democrat wants reckoning after Mitch McConnell, Tom Kean Jr. absences https://t.co/SYD5cXJNEw

[Rep. Ritchie Torres @RepRitchie]

When a public official is absent for an extended period of time, the public has a right to an honest explanation.

I'm introducing the Duty of Transparency Act to require Members to disclose extended absences so constituents know where their representative is.

BREAKING: Congressman Ritchie Torres just ensured the successful installation of solar panels for more than 70 properties in his district. This will lower costs for his constituents by over 20%.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

I had the honor of celebrating the installation of community solar panels across a portfolio of more than 70 properties in the Bronx.

These installations will reduce the electricity supply charges on ConEd bills by 20% for low-income families while cutting greenhouse gas emissions.

Lower energy costs. Cleaner air. A greener Bronx.

[Rep. Ritchie Torres @RepRitchie]

Proud that five of my provisions in the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act are now the law of the land.

President Trump called the bill "a big yawn" and refused to sign it. The American people struggling to afford a home know better, and so did the bipartisan majorities who passed it.

As a son of the Bronx raised in public housing, this is personal and real progress for families who need it.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

Whenever commentators decry the “unprecedented” partisanship of contemporary American politics, remind them that a sitting Vice President, Aaron Burr, fatally shot his political adversary, Alexander Hamilton, in a duel.

Almost nothing is as unprecedented as it seems in the present.

BREAKING: CNN hurls MAGA pundit Scott Jennings under the bus by announcing that they do NOT endorse his claim that Mitch McConnell is alive and making phone calls.

Things are getting VERY fishy, very fast...

“As a CNN Political Commentator, Scott Jennings is not a full-time employee or journalist for the network,” a network spokesperson told The Daily Beast. “His account of a personal conversation with Senator McConnell reflects his experience and is not CNN reporting."

Jennings claimed during an appearance on CNN that he had spoken to his "old friend" McConnell for 20 minutes on the phone. He was trying in vain to tamp down on the spreading speculation that the senator is braindead or perhaps even totally dead.

McConnell was hospitalized three weeks ago after suffering a cardiac arrest and receiving CPR on site. Right after he was admitted, his wife Elaine Chao flew to China to meet with top-ranking CCP officials. Then, earlier today, it was discovered that McConnell's D.C. residence is undergoing dramatic floor renovations.

Something is definitely going on and his office refuses to provide a real explanation.

It would be a simple matter for McConnell to release proof of life. Even a photo of him weak in a hospital bed giving a thumbs up would suffice. Right now, his constituents have no idea if their senator will ever be returning to work.

Scott Jennings is a professional liar who spends most of his time defending Trump's endless crimes, abuses, and dementia-tinged mistakes. Dishonesty is second nature for him. He could be helping McConnell's camp cover up the truth to avoid allowing Kentucky's Democratic governor to appoint a replacement, followed by a special election. Or he spoke to an AI voice mimicking McConnell.

One thing is certain: We are not getting the full story.

Please ❤️ and share if you don't believe Scott Jennings!

The greatest Little Italy is on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx.

The notion of an authoritarian President accepting a $400 million gift from a foreign monarch would have been utterly horrifying to the founding fathers, who sought to protect the presidency from corrupting foreign influence.

Today, I returned to the Hub in the South Bronx to assess conditions firsthand and ensure the city is following through on the public safety measures I fought for. We must continue working to make this neighborhood safer and stronger for everyone who calls it home.

[Rep. Ritchie Torres @RepRitchie]

Honored to stand with community members, @bronxbp, and @1199SEIU at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in defense of Temporary Protected Status. Our neighbors from Haiti and Syria have built lives, families, and communities here. They deserve dignity, stability, and protection.

[Rep. Ritchie Torres @RepRitchie]

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a husband, father, and hardworking member of his community who spent decades building a life for his family. He was shot and killed by an ICE officer on his way to work.

His family deserves transparency, accountability, and an independent investigation.

[Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson @bronxbp]

Yesterday, we stood alongside Congressman Ritchie Torres, 1199SEIU members, clergy, and community leaders to stand in solidarity with TPS holders following the Supreme Court’s decision allowing the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian immigrants.

This decision puts countless families and lives in jeopardy, deepening fear and uncertainty in communities that deserve protection, not displacement.

Our immigrant neighbors deserve dignity, stability, and compassion, and we will continue to speak out in support of Haitian immigrants and anyone else who has been impacted.

The Bronx stands with our immigrant communities.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

I stood with SEIU 1199 and Bronx leaders to oppose Donald Trump’s racially motivated termination of TPS.

Donald Trump accused Haitian immigrants of “poisoning the blood of our country.” Yet the Supreme Court insists there is no evidence of racial animus. In effect, the Court would have us ignore the evidence of our own eyes and ears.

The real-world effect of its decision is to legitimize racial discrimination against Black and Brown immigrants, denying them equal protection under the law.

The ancient Greeks were often right: character is destiny. Hubris is one’s undoing.

The warning signs in Graham Platner were there in plain sight. Many chose not to see them. Others extended him a presumption of grace they would never have given to their ideological enemies.

This is a moment not for schadenfreude, however tempting, but for self-reflection.

Dude aired out the whole job and rightfully so.

All unsafe practices, no wonder it started to collapse.

[Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres]

I have no endorsement to rescind.

Graham Platner should drop out.
