John,

AIPAC’s favorite House Democrat, Rep. Ritchie Torres, is personally
profiting from Israel’s genocide in Gaza, which he is directly enabling in
Congress.

[ [link removed] ]Sludge: Torres invested in weapons makers as he backed billions in arms
for Israel

A new report from Sludge reveals Torres invested in Lockheed Martin,
Northrop Grumman, and L3Harris — three of the largest U.S. weapons
manufacturers supplying weapons and bombs to the Israeli military.

He made the investments last September, failing to report them within the
45-day period required by law. Both before and after Torres added these
defense contractors to his investment portfolio, he led the charge for
supplying billions of dollars in U.S. arms transfers to Israel, including
the $17 billion arms package passed in April 2024.

Not only that, but Torres insisted there be no interruption to the flow of
weapons to Israel, even after it was clear the Israeli government was
committing war crimes against Palestinians. He even opposed President
Biden’s short pause in 2,000-pound bomb shipments, joining Republicans in
an attempt to override him.

Ritchie Torres is exactly what’s wrong with the Democratic
Party, John. He’s a corrupt,
corporate Democrat-in-name-only who not only prioritizes the Israel
lobby’s interests over his constituents in exchange for $1.57 million in
campaign checks, but he is also using this horrific genocide to pad his
personal portfolio.

This is why we need fewer Democrats like Torres and more working-class
progressive leaders who reject AIPAC and fight for the human rights of ALL
people.
