Trump has claimed he's going to "Run Venezuela." New Dems Answer: Is this in Americans' best interests?

After months of stalling, Democrats forced the Republican-led House to pass legislation extending Affordable Care Act tax credits. Everyone deserves access to affordable, quality health care. It’s now time for the Senate to do the same.

Today, the House will vote on a 3-year extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies. 22 million Americans rely on these subsidies for healthcare. To my Republican colleagues: it’s time to deliver for the American people.

On the 15th anniversary of the Tucson shooting, we honor the lives lost to gun violence and the courage of those who survived, including former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. I’m proud to stand with her as we fight to make our communities safer through commonsense gun reform.

I signed a discharge petition to force a House vote to keep health care affordable for Americans. Today, I will vote to make sure working families, the middle class, and small businesses receive relief from rising costs.

One year after the Eaton and Palisades Fire, our community is still waiting on disaster relief that was promised and is owed. The Trump administration’s failure to deliver these resources is unacceptable. Families deserve action and I will push to ensure our community gets the support it needs.

Excited to see homegrown talent in CA-35 recognized! Ontario’s first-ever Artist Microgrant Program is an investment in local creatives and public art that reflects our neighborhoods, stories, and history, and helps strengthen community pride across our district.

Five years ago, I was inside the House Gallery when a mob stormed the Capitol. That day was an attack on our institutions and the peaceful transfer of power.

Five years after Donald Trump incited a violent mob to storm the Capitol, House Democrats are holding a hearing to put the truth on the record. Accountability matters, and our democracy depends on it.

Feliz Día de los Tres Reyes Magos! Today we celebrate a tradition that brings families together, centers our children, and reminds us of the power of hope, faith, and generosity. Wishing everyone in our communities a joyful Three Kings Day filled with love and light.

My statement on U.S. Military Operation in Venezuela.

The work of 2025 came directly from our communities and the priorities they shared with me. I’m proud of what we’ve done together, and in 2026 I’ll keep working to deliver for our district while pushing for a future that works for everyone.

Happy Kwanzaa! Sending my warmest wishes to everyone in CA-35 celebrating Kwanzaa. May this time bring meaningful moments with loved ones, reflection on what matters most, and a renewed sense of community and care for one another.

Merry Christmas to California’s 35th District🎄 Wishing families across our district a day filled with love, warmth, and togetherness. May this season bring comfort to your homes, joy to your celebrations, and hope for the year ahead.

The Inland Empire moves America. Nearly 40% of U.S. imports pass through our region, but it’s the 118,000+ warehouse workers who make it possible. Economic growth must come with protections and opportunities for the families who power it.

Defying the Epstein Files Transparency Act is a deliberate cover-up, protecting powerful figures tied to pedophiles and sex traffickers while denying the public the truth. Transparency, accountability, and answers are long overdue. No one is above the law.

It was exciting to celebrate with the Citrus Valley Association of REALTORS at the installation of your 2025–2026 Board during the annual holiday breakfast. Thank you to outgoing President Sal Armijo for his leadership and dedication to the association and our community.

Survivors have waited decades. The full Epstein files must be released TODAY, as the law requires, protecting victims, not reputations. No more excuses. No more shielding the powerful.

Congratulations to the City of Ontario on the opening of its new Wellness Center. This facility will provide up to 120 days of wraparound support for unhoused families and community members, helping them regain stability and move forward.

In 13 days, healthcare costs go up because Republicans refused to extend ACA tax credits. Americans can’t wait. Affordable healthcare isn’t a political game.

🚨BREAKING: Members of the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social prevailed in court with a federal judge upholding the law, ruling that Congress can conduct oversight of ICE detention facilities. This is a victory for the rule of law.

ICE’s cruelty is Trump’s violence in action. Our communities do not deserve to be terrorized. We cannot allow it to continue.

This video is deeply disturbing. A pregnant woman pinned face-down and dragged by ICE is not enforcement, it’s abuse. This is part of a broader, ongoing pattern of inhumane treatment fueled by a broken system that has gone unchecked for far too long.

Swastikas and nooses are not “potentially divisive.” They are symbols of hate meant to instill fear and threaten the safety of those who serve our country. Downgrading them in a harassment policy puts our service members at risk.

In CA-35, car culture is strong, and drivers shouldn’t have to choose between customizing their vehicles and staying safe. I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan ADAS Functionality and Integrity Act, which will help Inland Empire car enthusiasts safely enhance their cars.

This is disgusting. Making fun of someone who just died to score political points is cruel. Rob Reiner was a talented filmmaker and a devoted husband. Americans deserve leaders who show decency, not use grief as a weapon.

Over the weekend, I was proud to join Christmas parades in Chino, Chino Hills, Eastvale, and Pomona. This cherished tradition brings our communities together and reflects the spirit that makes the Inland Empire so special. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy holiday season!

ProPublica exposes a devastating truth: reckless cuts to U.S. foreign aid fueled a deadly cholera outbreak in South Sudan. Lives were lost while officials celebrated. Foreign aid isn’t a handout, it’s an investment in diplomacy and global stability. This was negligence.

Trump’s response to the Brown University shooting is appalling. Empty words do nothing to honor the lives lost or the people injured. Students and families deserve leaders who act, not someone who shrugs off tragedy with callous indifference.

Happy Hanukkah to all celebrating in the Inland Empire! Wishing joy, light, and blessings to families across our communities. May this season bring hope, peace, and cherished time with loved ones.

Yesterday evening, a Redlands home with Hanukkah decorations was shot more than 20 times. This is part of a troubling rise in violence targeting Jewish communities. Families deserve to practice their faith without fear. We must condemn antisemitism and protect those under attack.

The antisemitic attack in Australia is heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the victims and Jewish communities around the world. As families begin Hanukkah, they deserve to celebrate in safety and peace. We must stand together against hate and antisemitism.

Today, Republicans were given another opportunity to stop healthcare insurance prices from increasing. They chose not to. Let that sink in.

This year, I introduced an approps amendment to ensure veterans have access to legal counsel in immigration proceedings. Purple Heart veteran Sae Joon Park self-deported due to an old removal order tied to trauma he suffered in service. Our veterans deserve the dignity and protection they earned.

The sexual exploitation of servicewomen and military spouses at Fort Hood and Tripler is unacceptable. For years, the Army ignored reports. Survivors deserve justice. I joined the Democratic Women’s Caucus to demand a full investigation and stronger protections.

He’s so unwell, I’m honestly surprised it didn’t end with ‘please respond.’

Today, I introduced the bipartisan Supporting Blue Envelope Programs Act with Rep. Rutherford. Blue Envelope Programs work, in the IE and in 29 states nationwide, helping first responders communicate safely with people with Autism & I/DD. I'm excited to lead this effort to expand them nationwide.

When families say they can’t afford groceries, Donald Trump tells them: “Don’t be dramatic.” This is what happens when a billionaire thinks working people should just suffer in silence. Americans deserve a president who actually understands their struggle, not mocks it.

Juan Orlando Hernández ran a criminal enterprise from the presidency and helped flood our communities with cocaine. Calling for his arrest is justice, no matter how many favors Trump gives to convicted drug traffickers. I stand with the people of Honduras demanding Hernández face the law.

I’m proud to lead the reintroduction of the Native American Seeds Act of 2025 with Rep. LaMalfa, Senator Heinrich, and Senator Crapo. This bipartisan legislation helps Tribal governments protect seeds that are culturally and spiritually vital.

"There have to be consequences for abject war crimes... There's a standard, there's an ethos, there's a belief that we are above what so many things that our enemies or others would do.” Secretary Hegseth said it himself and he broke that standard. He must resign.

I’m proud to reintroduce the Native American Seeds Act of 2025. This legislation helps Tribal nations protect seeds that are culturally, spiritually, and environmentally vital. Preserving these seeds isn’t just about food, it’s about protecting centuries of knowledge and heritage.

Today, I led 52 New Dems in urging President Trump to take real action on the housing crisis. Our letter lays out 8 commonsense steps the Administration can take immediately because declaring a “national housing emergency” isn’t enough if families still can’t afford a home.

Today, I spoke out against Trump’s pardon of Juan Orlando Hernández, a warlord who fueled over 100,000 American deaths and sent 700,000 Hondurans running for their lives. This pardon is a betrayal of justice and of every family still living with the consequences of his brutality.

Thank you Governor Newsom and Attorney General Bonta for launching a platform for Californians to report ICE & CBP abuses, state-level action I urged this summer to help protect families from racial profiling, unlawful detentions, and lost property. Report misconduct: oag.ca.gov/ReportMiscon...

My heart goes out to the family, friends, and co-workers of the railroad employee who tragically lost their life today in Ontario, CA. We mourn this loss, stand with the community as the Federal Railroad Administration investigates, and remain committed to the safety of all.

Today, I’m speaking out against the Trump administration’s ICE abuses. Tune in live to watch:

The IG report confirms what lawmakers in both parties have warned: Sec. Hegseth’s reckless judgment, the same issue that nearly got him fired months ago, puts our troops at risk. Mr. President, our troops are not dispensable. They are our sons and daughters. Fire Hegseth now!

California families are getting hit hardest. So far in 2025, people in California have paid $1,112 more due to inflation under Trump, despite his promises to “bring the cost of everything way down. Instead, prices are climbing across the state.

Congresswoman Torres Condemned Trump’s Pardon of Convicted Narco-President Hernández.
