Adriano Espaillat, serving as the U.S. Congressman for New York’s 13th district, has shared several tweets highlighting current societal and political issues. With his long-standing career beginning in the New York State Assembly and continuing into the U.S. Congress, Espaillat's recent social media posts offer insights into his priorities and concerns.

On April 6, 2025, Espaillat encouraged the public to "Apply For Congressional Grant Funding For Local Community Projects And Submit Appropriation Priorities."

The following day, on April 7, 2025, he addressed a distressing event involving the death of a child due to measles in Texas. He stated it was "Heartbreaking to hear of a second child’s death from measles in Texas. This preventable tragedy highlights the consequences of failed Republican leadership in promoting essential vaccinations. We must prioritize science-based policies to safeguard our children’s health."

Later that day, he made a brief statement reflecting public sentiment and political climate, noting "Trump is proud, Americans are worried."
