This #MothersDay, we honor the love, resilience, and quiet strength of mothers everywhere. As a mom and former 911 dispatcher, I’ve felt the pressure, the worry and the deep responsibility that so many mothers carry. To every mom: we see you, we thank you, and we’re fighting for you.

Thank you to Western University of Health Sciences for welcoming our Youth Advisory Committee and giving them an exciting look into the world of healthcare! Your support is empowering the next generation of doctors, nurses, and medical professionals. Let’s keep inspiring the leaders of tomorrow!

Trump is Making America Unsafe Again. He illegally fired @USCPSC commissioners for doing their jobs, protecting us from corporate greed and dangerous products. This is a direct attack on the rule of law and a gift to his billionaire buddies. Looking forward to your court date, Mr. President.

I'm proud to join Rep. Robert Garcia, Rep. @normajtorrres.bsky.social, and immigration advocates to introduce the SHIELD Act, a legislation to ensure representation, clear backlogs, and keep families together.

Trump’s firing of Dr. Carla Hayden isn’t just disgraceful — it’s an attack on public service, truth and the legislative branch. She expanded access to knowledge, preserved history and empowered future generations. I stand with her and support putting this appointment in Congress’ hands.

Wildfires are a growing, year-round threat in California — and we must stay ready. I introduced a resolution recognizing Wildfire Preparedness Week to strengthen prevention, response, and recovery efforts across all levels of government. Talk to your family, make a plan, and stay informed.

We can’t preach fair trade abroad while strong-arming our allies into deals that enrich billionaires at home. Using U.S. tariffs (a sales tax) to push Starlink isn’t strategy—it’s corruption. America should lead by example, not by coercion. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

U.S. pushes nations facing tariffs to approve Musk’s Starlink, cables show

On #NationalNursesDay, we honor the frontline heroes who care for us when we need it most. But gratitude isn’t enough. Cuts to Medi-Cal and Medicare threaten to gut the system nurses run— and every family will feel it. I’m fighting to protect them and the care our communities count on.

Hoy celebramos el Cinco de Mayo — un homenaje a la herencia y la resiliencia del pueblo mexicano. Honramos su historia y celebramos la unidad y diversidad de la comunidad mexicana que fortalece a nuestra nación. ¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

Trump’s trade antics are driving up construction costs and keeping interest rates high — fueling the housing crisis, especially in the IE. Republicans are pushing to cut $26B from housing programs — putting thousands of families at risk of eviction. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The flagging economy is hurting the housing market

President Donald Trump’s trade war is sending construction costs up, and interest rates are likely staying high this year.

I am demanding answers from CBP regarding the raids in Pomona. These operations lacked transparency and violated due process. Our community deserves answers and accountability! torres.house.gov/media-center...

The shipping volume is set to drop by 36% next week. This dramatic decline is a warning sign that could ripple consumer prices, small businesses, and jobs. The Port of LA is a vital artery of commerce. A sharp drop demands immediate action from federal agencies, industry leaders, and lawmakers.

I sent a letter calling out the Trump Administration’s' dangerous move to cut civilian faculty at U.S. service academies. Limiting diversity of thought undermines military readiness & leadership. It's time to protect the academic future of our armed forces! torres.house.gov/media-center...

This #AANHPIHeritageMonth, we celebrate the rich cultures, diverse histories, and countless contributions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. From building our railroads to shaping our future, your impact is undeniable—and invaluable.

La administración de Trump nos está atacando. ICE y la Patrulla Fronteriza están cazando personas, deportando ciudadanos estadounidenses y llamándolo justicia. Esto no es incompetencia—es una estrategia racista y deliberada. Exijo audiencias de emergencia, supervisión y rendición de cuentas.

Rep. Norma Torres@torres.house.govApr 30(source)

The Trump administration is targeting us. ICE and Border Patrol are hunting people, deporting U.S. citizens, and calling it justice. This isn’t incompetence—it’s a racist, deliberate strategy. I’m demanding emergency hearings, oversight, and accountability. We will fight back.

Rep. Norma Torres@torres.house.govApr 30(source)

ICYMI: During yesterday’s House Admin hearing, out-of-state Republicans were once again crying fraud and trying to meddle in how CA runs its elections. Our leaders were elected by Californians—not politicians from TX or FL. Disagree all you want. But don’t confuse your opinion with authority.

Rep. Norma Torres@torres.house.govApr 30(source)

Today, I introduced the Fairness to Freedom Act—because no one should face deportation alone. Trump’s threats of mass deportations are real. We must protect due process and keep families together. It’s time for universal legal representation. #FairnessToFreedom #ImmigrantJustice
