One of the most hard-core Democratic shills for Israel-Rep. Ritchie Torres-not only votes for billions of taxpayer $ for weapons to Israel, but also gets rich buying stock in the companies whose weapons Israel is using to genocide Palestinians. Class act.

🚨 500k Palestinians face famine in Gaza b/c of Israel's genocidal starvation policy. ⛔️US law bans weapons to a country blocking humanitarian aid. ✅Reps. must follow their conscience & US law by cosponsoring @repdeliaramirez's Block the Bombs Act.
