The new Republican House Speaker, Mike Johnson, once said that the Roman Empire collapsed because it condoned “rampant homosexual behavior.”
His sense of history is as horrendous as his homophobia.
History Lesson of the Day: The gays did not cause the collapse of Rome.

Ritchie Torres paves the way for others to build bridges between different communities, which is precisely what upsets the 'peace activists' who committed this disgusting act. This is not a form of protest and has nothing to do with the Israeli and Palestinian conflict.
I stand with Ritchie.

Rep. Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorresOn Christmas Day, anti-Israel extremists vandalized my Bronx Office with red paint, symbolizing blood.
Covered in “blood” is a doll meant to symbolize Jesus, whom the vandals describe as a “Palestinian child messiah."07:26 PM - Dec 26, 2023![Picture]()

Tucker Carlson absurdly accuses President Biden of “instituting a government-wide system of racial discrimination that dwarfs Jim Crow.”
Trivializing Jim Crow is what happens when American history is whitewashed by the likes of Ron DeSantis.

BOOM! Rep. @RitchieTorres EXPOSES Jim Jordan:
The House Judiciary posted a video of "Democrat" Councilman Robert Holden saying he's never seen "crime this bad" in NYC.
Torres, who's from NYC, fact-checked Gym, that Holden won on the GOP line and that NYC had 2000 more murders in '93 than in 2022.

Rep. Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres15 years ago, I dropped out of college because of severe depression. I thought of taking my own life because I felt the world around me had collapsed. I even admitted myself into a hospital.
I would not be alive, let alone in Congress, were it not for mental health care.

Donald Trump was the first president since Herbert Hoover to leave office with fewer jobs than when he took office, having eliminated 3 million more jobs than when he took office.
President Biden has already created 12 million jobs since taking office two years ago.

Fox News hosts purposely fed their audience dangerous lies and rhetoric about election fraud despite knowing it was BS, which led to a Jan. 6 insurrection that ended up killing people.
