Adriano Espaillat, a U.S. Congressman representing New York's 13th district, has recently made several statements on social media addressing critical issues. His tweets cover topics ranging from natural disasters to economic concerns.

On January 28, 2025, Espaillat addressed the severe impact of fires in California. He stated that "Raging fires in California have displaced thousands of families and taken the lives of at least twenty-seven victims in the wake of its destruction." Espaillat expressed pride in reintroducing legislation aimed at assisting disaster survivors, specifically mentioning the Housing Survivors of Major Disasters Act, which he is working on with Representative Young Kim.

Later on the same day, Espaillat reiterated his message in Spanish: "Los incendios devastadores en California han desplazado a miles de familias y han acabado con la vida de al menos veintisiete víctimas a raíz de su destrucción." He again mentioned his collaboration with Representative Young Kim on disaster relief legislation.

The following day, January 29, 2025, Espaillat took to social media to criticize certain economic practices by Republicans. He tweeted that "Republicans are stealing money from hardworking Americans to bankroll their billionaire buddies." He condemned these actions as unlawful and unacceptable.
