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.
Let me be clear. The Department of Homeland Security is not a private militia for the White House. As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I will oppose every dollar requested by this Secretary without serious reforms put in place.
My office has documented the systematic terrorizing of families in my district. We have seen agents ignore federal court orders and violate basic due process. Secretary Mullin is not being installed to fix these failures. He is being installed to accelerate them.
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.
An Air Canada Express passenger jet crashed into a firefighting vehicle as it landed at New York’s LaGuardia Airport on Sunday evening, killing the plane’s two pilots and injuring dozens. https://wapo.st/4dDkw5W
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:

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.
