No president in the last 80 years has had a lower 100-day approval rating than Donald Trump. So much for “The Art of the Deal.”

I had the honor of receiving the AJC Nita M. Lowey Congressional Leadership Award at Global Forum. I proudly call myself a Nita Lowey Democrat: pro-America and pro-Israel. As the first woman to chair the House Appropriations Committee, Congresswoman Lowey led a legendary career

It’s official: Donald Trump has finally liberated the American economy—from growth. GDP shrank by 0.3%. Making Recessions Great Again.

Team Torres recently heard a heartbreaking story from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP): A Bronx roofer came to the ER with mild shortness of breath. The ER was so overcrowded it took nine hours to fully evaluate him. By then, it was too late—he had suffered a

From amplifying the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry to hiring propagandists posing as journalists, much of the media has been compromised—indeed, corrupted—by anti-Israel bias. The BBC, for instance, hired a so-called “reporter” who once declared, “We’ll burn Jews like Hitler

I had the privilege of presenting a special citation to the first-place winner of Bronx School District 9’s debate tournament! She shared something that meant the world to me: that reading about my journey had inspired her to believe in herself. Hearing those words reminded me

I had the honor of meeting with the family of Abigail Mor Edan, one of the youngest hostages held in Gaza, who—by the grace of God—survived captivity and returned home. But too many families are still waiting. Gali and Ziv Berman, 27 year-old twins, remain in captivity. Their

Over 9 million Americans rely on federally subsidized housing sustained by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Now, Donald Trump is proposing to defund HUD—the nation’s largest provider of affordable housing—by a staggering 50%. This is not merely a budget

The City Charter grants the Mayor the authority to impound city funds. You unquestionably have the power to withhold city funding from any organization or event that provides a platform for antisemitism. I find it hard to believe that the most powerful elected official in New

I just came from celebrating the 54th Anniversary of the Williamsbridge NAACP Childhood Education Center—a cornerstone of early education in the Bronx. At a time when everything in the world seems to be going wrong, the Childhood Education Center represents what is right:

The Central Park concert featuring Kehlani—an artist who has repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state—has been cancelled. Antisemitism becomes unacceptable only when we, as a society, have the courage to reject it—clearly, consistently, and without

If Joe Biden had imposed the reckless tariffs of Donald Trump, every Republican—without exception—would have condemned them as the height of economic incompetence. Swap Biden’s name for Trump’s, and the moral outrage vanishes—not by magic, but by the raw calculus of partisan

I spoke with Axios about harnessing the power of emerging technologies to create a better, cheaper, and faster payments system that liberates the American people from the high fees and long delays of the traditional financial system.

I had an inspiring meeting with students from the Leffell School who spoke about housing and health challenges not just through statistics but through powerful, personal stories. One student shared the story of a 63-year-old man graduating from college next week despite living

The Trump tariff regime is a triple tax on American manufacturing: a U.S. tax on the components, a U.S. tax on the end product, and a retaliatory foreign tax on American exports. If you tax the inputs and outputs of American manufacturing, you’re not strengthening our industrial
