Ritchie Torres, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 15th district, has recently shared his views on social media concerning political discourse and banking issues in the United States. In a series of tweets, he addresses various topics ranging from political debates to financial inclusivity.
On March 13, 2025, Torres criticized the approach taken by Trump's team towards Senator Schiff. He stated: "Instead of thoughtfully debating with Senator Schiff on the issues, Trump's team resorts to personal pejorative attacks against the junior senator for America's largest state. This is everything that's wrong with our politics -- and President Trump is to blame."
Later that day, Torres tweeted succinctly: "I have an idea." The tweet was accompanied by links suggesting further details.
Torres also addressed the issue of financial inclusivity in another tweet on March 13, 2025. He highlighted that "More than 25 million Americans are unbanked or underbanked. 5.6 million Americans (4.2% of the US population) are unbanked; 19 million Americans (14.2% of the US population), underbanked." He emphasized that "The banking system must build on the success of the Bank-On Initiative."
