Looking forward to joining @kaitlancollins again tonight alongside @RepTimBurchett.
Torres to Burchett: "It's gonna be more agonizing for the 30,000 people who lose healthcare in your district, for the 15,000 people who lose SNAP in your district . simply to fund tax cuts for the top one percent."

The Hub is to the Bronx what Times Square is to Manhattan. New York City must treat the Bronx with the respect it deserves.

The City of New York is effectively a bystander while an open-air drug market is flourishing right in the commercial hub of the South Bronx -- and the conditions speak for themselves.

We are on the ground in the Hub speaking with constituents about the open-air drug market and the City’s failure to act. The Bronx deserves better.

Despite my repeated pleas and multiple announcements of multi-agency operations—often launched with great fanfare—the City is no closer to solving the public health and safety crisis that has taken hold of the South Bronx's Hub. The City must demonstrate a renewed

Esta medida pondrá en riesgo a innumerables familias, incluyendo a muchos miembros de la comunidad garífuna en el Bronx que llegaron huyendo de la persecución y la devastación ambiental. Debemos mantenernos unidos y luchar para proteger a cada familia de las deportaciones.
This move will put countless families at risk, including many members of the Garifuna community in the Bronx who came fleeing persecution and environmental devastation. We must stand together and fight to protect every family from unjust deportation at the hands of Donald Trump

I will be joining @jrpsaki at 9:10 pm tonight on the @PsakiBriefing to break down the horrible so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” that passed the House today and explain how it will devastate the Bronx and New York City.

Guess who just voted to strip 30k of his constituents of their healthcare and 15k of their food assistance?.
Last night, I laid out the stakes for Rep. Burchett: 30,000 people in his district would lose healthcare, 15,000 would lose food assistance under the Big Beautiful Bill. He heard it all — and still is signaling his plan to vote yes. There’s something deeply wrong about knowing.

The so-called Big Beautiful Bill is the ugliest attack on the working people of the Bronx, New York, and America.
