Ritchie Torres’ Post

Congressman for New York's 15th Congressional District

Only in a broken system would a Governor declare mission accomplished (crime is down and streets are safer!) after a 100% increase in the number of murders in the subway. Yet the Governor is spending a $100 million dollars not on actual law enforcement but to make a “psychological difference.” New Yorkers want more than a psychological difference. We want public safety, which can only come from enforcing the law.

What is she doing to make a psychological difference? If the plan is to provide more mental health services for the homeless mentally ill, many of whom are veterans btw, then I’m all in. That would have the practical effect you’re looking for. I’m not sure what police can do for a homeless person, except move them to a different spot that’s more “convenient” for everyone else. I know in Brooklyn, where my parents were living, the police rode around on bicycles at night, waking up homeless people sleeping on benches. I don’t believe that keeping people awake all day and night makes them less mentally ill or “scary” to the public. But mental health care can actually help everyone.

You know that crime won’t go down until Republicans take over. Hochul is a terrible governor. Just like all the other Democrat governors. So you should run for governor as a republican.

If you set your standards very low, by definition, you will always succeed. She seems to be a pro at that singular talent.

We need Torres in the Senate. Governor is a stepping stone to that, but he is the type of statesman we need in a high level national role. Senate and beyond.

It’s almost like the rule of law is important to, you know, a stable society or democracy or something.

How much is she spending on a new stadium 🏟️ for the Buffalo Bills so her husband can capitalize on our “investment⁉️” 🤨
