After hearing concerns from residents, I toured Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park with LA County Public Works to address ongoing issues. Thank you to Director Mark Pestrella for a productive conversation on water infrastructure, public safety, and long-term planning.

It was a pleasure hosting staff from the SoCal Congressional Delegation for a labor101 training session with Carpenters Local 909. From building critical infrastructure to creating pathways to good-paying, skilled jobs, our union carpenters help keep our communities growing.

Today we recognize the wage gap facing Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women, who earn just 83 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. This is unacceptable. We must keep fighting for equal pay and economic justice for all women.

Thrilled to celebrate the new snack bar at Prado Regional Park, part of a $2.28M investment I secured through Community Project Funding. Whether you’re out for a round of golf or spending time with family, stop by for a bite and a drink to stay cool!

As the only California member on the House Administration Committee, I joined the hearing in LA to push back against GOP efforts to restrict voting rights. Bills like the SAVE Act and actions limiting mail‑in voting would make it harder for Americans to cast their ballots.

This week, we’re celebrating La Popular in Claremont! Their vibrant, Mexico City–inspired flavors aren’t just delicious, they bring our community together and celebrate the culture so many of us share. Places like La Popular remind us why supporting local businesses matters.

This is a deeply disturbed individual. Threatening war crimes and brushing off the human cost is reckless and dangerous. Speaker Johnson must call Congress back now, the American people deserve action, not silence.

Wishing everyone celebrating a joyful and peaceful Easter. Today is a reminder of renewal, hope, and the strength of our communities. May this day bring you and your loved ones moments of joy and reflection.

A trash can? That’s generous. Pam Bondi got exactly what this administration does to anyone who stops being useful. Thank you, next.

It’s not too late to grab a card! Trump’s Cabinet turnover is starting to look like a bingo card and Americans are the ones stuck watching the chaos unfold. Another firing. Another loyalist. How many squares have we checked off already? 🎯

Firing Pam Bondi, the second Cabinet head in weeks, shows this administration values loyalty over the rule of law. Appointing Todd Blanche as Acting AG raises alarms. Americans deserve a DOJ that is transparent, not a revolving door of hand-picked loyalists.

Sitting here watching the launch and feeling so inspired! Wishing Captain Glover and the Artemis II crew a safe journey, you’ve got all our support as you reach for the stars! 🌌🚀

Oral arguments are underway at SCOTUS in a case that could strip citizenship from U.S.-born children. Trump has decided to sit in. Is he also going to play Justice and decide who counts as American? The Constitution is clear: birthright citizenship is not up for debate, and we will defend it.

Trump tried to weaponize taxpayer dollars to punish NPR and PBS for reporting the news he didn’t like. Today, a judge blocked that blatant attack on the First Amendment. Republicans can’t silence independent journalism, the press exists to serve the public, not political agendas.

Republicans are weaponizing the DOJ: 23,000 criminal cases dropped while immigration arrests surge. Fraud, drug crimes, and terrorism cases ignored. This targeted, racialized politics puts communities at risk.

Congratulations to the Northgate Gonzalez Market team and the Gonzalez family on the grand opening of their new Chino location! Thank you for your continued dedication to providing fresh food, quality goods, and good-paying jobs for our local community.

Every time you fill up your tank, Republicans’ war with Iran is costing you. Gas prices are rising as the conflict drives energy costs higher. You shouldn’t be paying for their reckless choices. They chose themselves over your tax dollars.

Republicans are weighing more cuts to your health care to bankroll a war in Iran and supercharge ICE. Let that sink in. They’re raising your costs, kicking people off coverage, and calling it “fiscal responsibility.” They are choosing war over your health care. That’s the truth.

Joined local families at Parents Anonymous Inc. to introduce my National Parents and Youth Helpline Act. This bill creates a 24/7 helpline for parents and youth facing mental health, parenting, and substance use challenges. No family should face life’s toughest moments alone.

Tonight, I voted NO to the Republicans’ chaos. Families are going unpaid, TSA officers are stretched thin, and national security is on the line. Bipartisan solutions exist, it’s time to stop the games and do right by the American people.

40 days. Still shut down. Republicans are holding the government hostage for a blank check for ICE. No accountability. No oversight. I will never support Republican sanctioned violence. Speaker Johnson: pay our workers and keep your hands off our families.

Kash Patel can’t even lock his personal inbox and he’s running our national security? This is reckless, amateur hour, and a direct threat to every American. The FBI deserves leaders who actually understand security, not liabilities.

While families are struggling to afford groceries and rent, Donald Trump is focused on ballrooms, museum takeovers, and putting his name on your money. That is not leadership. It is self-interest at your expense.

Pete Hegseth looked at a list of qualified officers and decided Black leaders and women had to go. That’s not leadership. It’s discrimination in plain sight. And every Republican who stays silent is complicit.

For the second year in a row, the gender pay gap is growing. 
Trump and Republicans are actively making it worse, keeping women behind. 
This #EqualPayDay, I’m standing up for equal pay. Women deserve better and we are not waiting.

Republicans just passed a Homeland Security bill that is a literal roadmap for abuse.

Day 41 of the DHS shutdown: - Airports in chaos - TSA wait times at record highs Republicans refuse to fund DHS unless Democrats bend on ICE. Donald Trump is threatening “drastic measures” instead of ending it. This is a Republican manufactured crisis.

$1.25 BILLION diverted from disaster relief. No transparency. Just a blank check to Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace.” No transparency, just looting of taxpayer dollars. Meanwhile, families are paying more just to keep the lights on.

We’re feeling so lucky to celebrate our amazing Montclair seniors at their monthly birthday celebration ! 🍀 It’s always a joy to honor the community members who help make Montclair such a vibrant City.

Great to meet with Pomona College leadership to discuss supporting students, keeping campuses safe, and strengthening their community impact. Our office is ready to be a partner for their work every step of the way.

Once again, Donald Trump cast his ballot by mail after years of fearmongering about it. When he votes, it’s “secure.” When you vote, it’s “suspicious.” That’s not protecting elections. It’s picking and choosing who gets a voice.

$75B in taxpayer dollars, and this is what we get: the ICE ‘water boy.’

#TeamTorres had the pleasure to join the Upland State of the City! From the success of Upland Unified School District to the vital care provided by San Antonio Regional Hospital, we’re building a strong community. I’m proud to support local partners at the federal level and continue delivering.

The U.S. claims it helped bomb a “drug camp” in Ecuador but reporting shows it was a dairy farm. Homes were destroyed, workers beaten, and civilians terrorized. This is unacceptable. The administration owes answers and accountability.

Excited that Cal Poly Pomona is a top pipeline for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers talent! With a new CPP–USACE partnership, engineering students can gain hands-on experience and prepare for meaningful work serving our #CA35 community.

Republicans claim to “support the troops” while deporting veterans who risked everything. As an Appropriator, I repeatedly offered amendments to guarantee due process for veterans. Republicans blocked them every time. If service means anything, they’ve earned the right to stay.

The Senate’s confirmation of Markwayne Mullin is an endorsement of lawlessness at DHS. ICE and CBP have operated with total disregard for the constitutional rights of the people I represent.

On the 16th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act, costs are skyrocketing because Trump and Republicans refused to act. In CA‑35, 34,000 people lost coverage or are paying thousands more for less, some more than their mortgage. Trump promised lower costs; he delivered chaos.

We’ve seen the fatal results of poor ICE training. TSA officers are trained for safety, not combat. Militarizing our gates puts passengers at risk. Democrats want to fund safety; Republicans want to fund violence.

Heartbroken by the tragic incident at LaGuardia that claimed the lives of two pilots. My thoughts are with their loved ones and all those affected.   As the investigation continues, we must get answers and ensure accountability. Aviation safety is not optional. It is a responsibility.

Congratulations to Claremont High School on the grand opening of their new Zen Den! A calm space where students can manage stress, support their mental health, and foster success. Investing in our students’ well-being is investing in their future.

Trump is wasting billions on a war with Iran that Americans don’t want while turning his back on the institutions that prevent conflict in the first place. You can’t abandon diplomacy and expect stronger alliances.   Watch the Appropriations UN hearing: youtu.be/QfazsX-FB3c

After Speaker Johnson & House Republicans delayed it for 3 years, Democrats were able to visit the plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6. New Dems @morelle.house.gov, @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social, & @normajtorres.bsky.social explain why it took so long.

Statement from Rep. Norma Torres on Recent Abuse Allegations Involving Labor Leader Cesar Chavez.

The January 6 plaque honors the U.S. Capitol Police who risked their lives to defend our democracy. Yet it sits in the Capitol basement, out of public view. We won’t let their sacrifice be hidden. The American people deserve to see the truth.

I met today with the Port of Long Beach to discuss key priorities for our region and the nation. From strengthening our supply chains to investing in infrastructure and supporting a strong workforce, it’s critical that we continue building partnerships that keep our economy moving.

Had a wonderful meeting with Inland Action to talk about the Inland Empire’s top priorities, from infrastructure and supply chains to healthcare and housing. I’m proud to keep fighting for our communities, bringing resources, lowering costs, and creating more opportunities for our families.

Great meeting today with local leaders from Eastvale to discuss priorities for their growing community. I’m proud to work alongside city officials to deliver resources, strengthen infrastructure, and ensure families in the Inland Empire have what they need to thrive.
