Adriano Espaillat, a U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 13th district, communicated his views on various pressing issues through a series of tweets. Having served since 2017, Espaillat is active in voicing concerns relating to both federal employee treatment and governmental policies.
On April 1, 2025, Espaillat tweeted, "Es inaceptable que RFK Jr. esté bloqueando la entrada de los empleados federales al HHS. Los empleados se encuentran fuera del edificio, donde se les dice que ya no tienen trabajo." Espaillat expressed concern for federal employees reportedly being obstructed from their workplace and worried about their job security.
In another tweet posted on the same day, Espaillat remarked on the conduct involving government pressure on legal firms. He tweeted, "El gobierno está cruzando una línea peligrosa al usar la intimidación para presionar a bufetes de abogados como Skadden y Paul | Weiss para que defiendan órdenes ejecutivas inconstitucionales." He criticized these actions as "authoritarismo disfrazado" and stressed the importance of speaking out.
Later that day, Espaillat acknowledged Senator Cory Booker's actions, tweeting, "I applaud @SenBooker for standing up and creating a little #GoodTrouble on the Senate floor." He expressed his support and encouragement for Senator Booker, noting the approval from himself and the public.
