Just absurd. Not a single refugee in the world was allowed to come legally, except for white South Africans.

@LattinaBrown You're underestimating how much wealth the elites have generally and how much they've taken from the working class and poor. Mamdani isn't advocating for communism. He's advocating for social programs that will make the city my affordable for everyone.

@RitchieTorres @SenSchumer This is a good idea. What will happen to this initiative when your district changes next year? You lose hunts point, right? Will you have a handoff of some kind with @AOC so this can continue?

Majority Leader @SenSchumer and I are seeking $380 million to green the Hunts Point Produce Market, which accounts for 25% of NYC’s produce and distributes food from 49 states. A Greener Market = fewer greenhouse gas emissions less air pollution lower asthma rates

Russia built a diplomatic compound at the highest point in Riverdale (Northwest BX). "There’s nothing accidental about the siting. It stands both literally and metaphorically as a structure of surveillance.” Memo to @StateDept & @FBI: shut down the compound. Expel the spies.
Shannon Vavra@shanvav

SCOOP: The State Dept held a classified briefing Friday to discuss concerns the Russian diplomatic compound in the Bronx in New York is actually a Russian spy hub, I’m told—& now the FBI is getting pressured to step in. Details exclusive on @thedailybeast thedailybeast.com/secret-briefin…

@RitchieTorres His claims about wokeness are silly. But that whole thing you went on with about the Yankees and their use of Latin x was also silly. Obv your comments were more benign, but the whole war on wokeness generally is missing the forest for the trees.

The absurdity of attributing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to Western wokeness is an example of what happens when you view the world through prism of Fox News and Tucker Carlson.

@RitchieTorres The court likes legislative power to be asserted. Congress has A LOT of authority in how the supreme court operates. Get rid of the filibuster and overhaul the federal judiciary while you're at it.

@RitchieTorres The assumption, as a non-politico, is that reform of any kind threatens certain people that are already in power. Same basis for resistance to Klobuchar's bill or why the John Lewis act won't pass the Senate rn. But I hope I'm wrong and you can convince people of neutral rules.

The NY Court of Appeals struck down the redistricting map w/o affording the state legislature any opportunity to cure the violations. My bill would require the courts to afford the state legislature at least one opportunity to cure before appointing a special master.
Gothamist@Gothamist

New York’s next redistricting cycle won’t happen for another decade, but Rep. Ritchie Torres plans to introduce two bills that would make the appointment of a special master a “last resort” in the redistricting process. gothamist.com/news/torres-to…

@RitchieTorres I agree with the intent, but this will face stiff resistance to pass in either chamber. Klobuchar/Manchin had proposed the freedom to vote act last year. That was more expansive than what you tweeted, but still died on the floor. Why not parallel path state level at least?

@MuadDib_Emperor Article 1, Section 4 (which you correctly cite) confers on Congress expansive authority over Congressional redistricting. The objective here is not simply to shape what happens in New York but to set national standards of redistricting—something only Congress can do. Thanks.

@RitchieTorres Article 1, sec 4 getting really tested here. For NY, why not just work with state reps to amend for NY? Seems like a more realistic path to victory than getting the US Senate to agree to this. Seriously, what's the path forward with this?

The Court of Appeals relied on the testimony of Sean Trende who applied an algorithm that had never been peer-reviewed. My bill prohibits the use of redistricting algorithms that have never been peer-reviewed.

@RitchieTorres I wouldn't focus on what the poll asks but on what it implies for attitudes on public safety. The concern for subway safety is high. I live next to the Jackson Ave stop and this week a woman was straight up thrown onto the tracks. We need smart solutions if you got em

I oppose installing metal detectors at subways (turning subways into airports would be an abject nightmare). That being said, the disconnect between opinion on Twitter and opinion in real life never ceases to amaze.
Sam Raskin@samraskinz

63% of New Yorkers support installing metal detectors at subway station entrances, and 60% support homeless encampment sweeps, according to the newly released Spectrum News NY1/Siena College Poll scri.siena.edu/wp-content/upl…

@madmart33363545 @RitchieTorres @CouncilwomanKrj And in any case, I'm not saying that a stance of "no new construction" makes sense. But the proposals for One45 definitely didn't make sense to a whole lot of people. There's a lot of construction in this city all the time, but this one stood out for a reason

@madmart33363545 @RitchieTorres @CouncilwomanKrj ... these construction projects impact nearby pricing. There are different time scales to consider, not to mention that each community is different. In east Harlem, you have the pressure as well from all the waterfront luxury stuff approved across the water.

One cannot decry the affordable housing crisis in NYC and then derail 450 income-restricted units in favor of condos and self-storage. Blind NIMBYism is the enemy of affordability.
Jeff Coltin@JCColtin

"developers Bruce Teitelbaum and his partners will likely build a combination of market-rate condominiums, a self-storage facility and an unspecified community facility, according to a source familiar with the plans," @nick_garber reports. patch.com/new-york/harle…
