The Trump Administration promised to bring back manufacturing. Yet, since the so-called Liberation Day tariffs of April 2025, manufacturing contracted for nine consecutive months.

Proud to sponsor several buses that brought hundreds of constituents to the annual #DominicansOnTheHill, sponsored by Congressman Adriano Espaillat. The Bronx energy was overwhelming.

From 1945 to 1973, the US saw the emergence of the largest middle class the world had ever seen. Public investment was one of the most important ingredients in the prosperity of postwar America. The golden age of American productivity growth coincided with the golden age of public investment.

Donald Trump has repeatedly declared: “I have done more for the Black community than any other president—with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln.” I asked Stephen Moore, Trump’s favorite economist, whether he agreed with that delusional claim. He appeared visibly uncomfortable.

When I pressed the Treasury Secretary on whether the President has the constitutional authority to fire the Fed Chair or a Fed Board Member solely because of a policy disagreement, he conspicuously refused to answer.

The Trump Administration promised to bring back manufacturing jobs. Yet, since the so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs of April 2025, the US economy has lost 70,000 manufacturing jobs. So much for making American manufacturing great again.

I am proud to join Grand Street Settlement in announcing a $55 million federal investment in new child care centers in the Bronx. Since 2000, the cost of child care has risen by a staggering 160% nationwide.

I had the honor of speaking at the second inauguration of Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson. Vanessa is one of the most fiercely dedicated public servants I know. For more than a decade, we have been partners in building a better Bronx.

I had a wonderful time touring the Commonpoint Community Center in the South Bronx.

Since 2021, I have delivered over $62 million in community-funded projects for the Bronx. Included in the $62 million is a total of $18.6 million for FY2026 and $15 million in the latest appropriations bill.

A South Bronx food distribution.

I voted to defund ICE, as did most House Democrats. The Senate must now do the same. Too many lives have been lost to unbridled brutality. ICE’s cruelty must be filibustered.

The median age of a first-time homebuyer is 40. A first-time homebuyer who takes out Donald Trump’s proposed 50-year mortgage would not finish paying it off until age 90. The average life expectancy in the United States is 78. In Donald Trump’s America, mortgages outlive first-time homebuyers.

I just voted AGAINST funding for ICE. Not one dollar for cruelty and cover-ups. Congress must leverage the power of the purse to hold Donald Trump accountable.

I am proud to stand with @nynurses in their fight for fair wages, fair benefits, safe working conditions, and a secure retirement. In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., an injustice against our nurses is an injustice against us all.

I am proud to stand with @nynurses in their fight for fair wages, fair benefits, safe working conditions, and a secure retirement. In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., an injustice against our nurses is an injustice against us all. We must care for those who care for us.

I had the honor of joining Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz, Council Member Eric Dinowitz, and volunteers at the Riverdale Y for a Day of Service in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Congress must leverage the power of the purse to hold Donald Trump accountable. I will vote against ANY spending legislation that provides funding to ICE. Not one dollar for cruelty and cover-ups.

The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lives on.

Donald Trump is actively antagonizing American allies to the benefit of the Chinese Communist Party. America’s worst enemy is not China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran. It is the self-sabotaging presidency of Donald Trump.

Proud to partner with Assembly Member George Alvarez and Congressman Adriano Espaillat in hosting a Three Kings Day event in Fordham and Belmont.

Torres: Because when you’re a government insider, the term prediction is a misnomer. If you’re the one making the decision, or you’re part of the decision-making process, you’re not predicting anything—you’re governing for profit.

I am introducing legislation to ban insider trading on prediction markets by federal government officials. An anonymous trader made over $400,000 betting on the fall of Nicolás Maduro, with the final wager suspiciously placed just hours before the event transpired.

I am one of 70 Democrats co-sponsoring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem. She has defended police brutality and defamed Renee Nicole Good as a “domestic terrorist.” The Secretary of Homeland Security is a threat to homeland security.

Proud to partner with Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson in hosting a Three Kings Day celebration at Mitchell Houses in the South Bronx.

I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency. ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

My colleagues and I joined the Gambian community at Masjid Ar Rahmah to remember the 17 lives lost four years ago in the catastrophic fire at Twin Parks North West.

Four years ago, the Bronx endured one of the deadliest fires in its history at Twin Parks North West. Seventeen members of our Bronx family were lost—including eight children and a two-year-old toddler.

Donald Trump claims he built “the greatest economy in history.” Let’s examine his latest delusion of grandeur with the facts:

Donald Trump’s seeks to destroy everything in its path.

Congressman Randy Fine has issued a chilling and deeply disturbing threat to the American people: stand in our way, and you will meet the same fate as Renee Nicole Good. This is gangsterism masquerading as governance.

Congratulations to Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani for laying out not just a vision but a concrete roadmap for universal child care. A monumental win for New York families. Since 2000, the cost of child care has risen by more than 150 percent nationwide.

I am introducing legislation to prevent a President from treating a criminal indictment as a substitute for congressional authorization. The indictment of a foreign leader cannot replace the Constitution’s requirement that Congress authorize the use of military force.

My reflections on 1/6.

My statement on President Donald Trump’s illegal war of regime change against Venezuela.

I joined Pastor Jay Gooding, Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson, community leaders, and violence interrupters at Eastchester Houses for a vigil mourning the loss of two young lives to gun violence. Gun violence is now the leading cause of death among America’s youth.

I had the honor of going to the home of Maudlin Reid Moore, a longtime Bronx resident, to wish her a ‘Happy Birthday,’ and personally present her with a proclamation.

I had a wonderful time distributing gifts to seniors in the Northeast Bronx.

I had the honor of attending a holiday party hosted by Assembly Member George Alvarez. No one can throw a party and fill a room like George. Overwhelming turnout.

The Christian right’s deification of Donald Trump amounts to idolatry. Trump’s malignantly narcissistic response to the murder of Rob Reiner reveals a deeply demonic figure: one callously indifferent to any life but his own, the antithesis of a true Christian.

Lillian Bonsignore is a 31-year veteran of the FDNY. The far right never lets facts get in the way of their narrative.

I joined Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie on a delegation to Jamaica, which is struggling to recover from the worst hurricane in its history. As the Congressman representing Little Jamaica in the Bronx, I felt a profound obligation to do my part in supporting our brothers and sisters on the island.

Proud to partner with the Board of Lind-Ric Apartments on a toy distribution in Pelham Parkway.

Public safety is not about numbers. It is about people. 1000 fewer shooting victims means 1000 fewer families scarred for life by the terror and trauma of gun violence. Kudos to the NYPD for a job well done. New York is safer for it.

Proud to host a holiday party celebrating community leaders from every corner of the Bronx.

Proud to partner with Assembly Member Chantel Jackson to bring the Christmas experience to the South Bronx.

When we speak of affordable housing, there is a simple question that comes to mind: affordable for whom? When it comes to the lowest-income Americans, the US has a housing gap of over 7 million units.

Proud to partner with Assembly Member Chantel Jackson to bring the Christmas experience to the South Bronx.

According to the National Association of Realtors, the United States has a housing shortage of over 5 million units.

Proud to distribute Christmas gifts to the families of Gun Hill Houses in the Northeast Bronx.
