Rep. Ritchie Torres, a U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 15th district since 2021, made recent communications on social media addressing concerns over autism care and announcing his participation in a live event. His public statements were delivered on April 8, 2025, through the social media platform X.

In a direct appeal to Governor Kathy Hochul on April 8, 2025, Torres posted, "I implore @GovKathyHochul to reverse her short-sighted, DOGE-style assault on autism care for the neediest New Yorkers." The Congressman’s critique suggests disapproval of the current state government's handling of policies that affect autism care.

On the same day, Torres mentioned his upcoming participation in a live event, stating, "I'm looking forward to joining @keithedwards live at 7:15 PM tonight." This message preceded an additional brief acknowledgment directed towards Keith Edwards through another post.

Additionally, Rep. Torres provided an update in the form of a tweet link, @keithedwards, suggesting ongoing engagement with the planned live discourse.
