Instead of disenfranchising voters, starting illegal wars, and hiding Epstein files, the Trump Administration should maybe focus a little more on the failing K-shaped economy.

Graphic with the headline β€œThe Epstein Files Coverup” over a split black-and-white photo of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein facing each other. A torn blue line divides their images down the middle, and a black redaction bar obscures part of the top text. At the bottom, a news-style caption reads: β€œDOJ admits 47,635 Epstein files β€” including Trump allegations β€” were removed,” with The Independent logo displayed. The image has a distressed, taped-up design to resemble a leaked or censored document.

Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social asked to join the Judiciary hearing with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Republican Judiciary Chair Jordan didn’t even respond. When immigrant families face life-altering decisions, silence isn’t oversight.

So they can spend roughly $2.3 billion (Iran Cost Tracker - Last recorded estimate March, 4, 2026) but asking for affordable healthcare is too much? (And they're going to ask for $50 billion more)

(2/2) This is a cheap trick to score political points while Trump’s costly, aimless, and illegal war with Iran puts American lives in danger.

(1/2) House Republicans are using Trump’s war with Iran to force Congress to fund ICE and CBP without substantial reforms despite harassing, detaining, beating, and killing American citizens.

Proud to have secured nearly $1 million in FY26 federal funding to revitalize Lehman College’s athletics field. This investment will expand seating, improve accessibility, and create a welcoming space for students, families, and neighbors to gather, compete, and celebrate.

(3/4) I wrote a letter to Speaker Johnson urging him to use the power of his position and the GOP majority to design and advance frameworks for the federal government to regulate β€” and freeze β€” the ballooning utility rates, which are straining families, individuals, and small businesses alike.

(1/4) New Yorkers are feeling the squeeze from skyrocketing energy bills, which can be attributed to corporate greed, data centers, AI, and Trump’s insane policies on tariffs and renewable energy projects.

Donald Trump and congressional Republicans promised to lower the high cost of living on Day One. They failed.

Instead, life is more expensive than ever, worsened by Trump’s tariffs that have cost families $1,700 more per year on everything from groceries to transportation and more.

Fernando's message is simple and as American as it can get. In his words:

"I need my family to come home: save my sister’s life, end this nightmare for me and for all the other families like mine, who just want to live an honest life and work hard for a better future."

A 10-year-old U.S. citizen was deported while fighting rare brain cancer. Her brother, Fernando, carries the fight forward. He’s Chairman @repespaillat.bsky.social’s State of the Union guest.

Tonight's State of the Union will be more of the same:

-Deny the truth
-Dismiss the concerns
-Deceive the American People

This is the Trump playbook.

🧡1/2 : Yesterday, VA quietly issued an interim final rule that immediately changes how veterans’ disability ratings are evaluated: no notice, no explanation, no debate. Trump's VA Secretary Collins did not consult VSOs or Congress before acting.

After pressure from state leaders and a federal court order, the Trump Administration has released the final $127 million in overdue Gateway Tunnel funding, and construction will resume soon.

This is a major win for hardworking union members, commuters, and our entire region’s economy.

A picture of Big Brother from Orwell's 1984 holding his hand out like a puppet-master dangling the logos of Google, Reddit, Discord, Facebook and Instagram above the words "DHS IS WATCHING YOU." Below is text that reads: "Rep. Espaillat and Senator Wyden to introduce legislation to stop DHS from maliciously obtaining your personal information."

DHS is using administrative subpoenas to obtain thousands of YOUR records from major companies.

These subpoenas are signed by DHS staffβ€”not a judgeβ€”and are being used to target immigrants, advocates, and journalists.
