🎉 Here’s to our September birthday MVPs! We had a winning afternoon at the Montclair Senior Center celebrating everyone with a September birthday. Good food, great company, and plenty of reasons to celebrate our September all-stars. Happy birthday to the whole lineup! 🎂

I started my career as a dispatcher, and I know the skill, pressure, and responsibility that comes with being the voice on the other end. 911 dispatchers are first responders. I’m working to make sure our laws recognize them as such. Thank you, Elex Michaelson, for shining a light.

They attacked our Capitol. Now they want American taxpayers to pay them for it. I’ve fought to ensure taxpayer dollars protect our democracy, not rewrite what happened on Jan 6. Don’t ask Americans to pay for the fiction that attacking the Capitol was protected political expression.

Trump is using your tax dollars to fund propaganda. Calling an ad about a “final battle” a public service announcement doesn’t make it one. This Administration is trying to silence dissent. Americans deserve information from their government, not political messaging paid for with their own money.

The Trump administration is set to launch another overtly political campaign ad funded by taxpayer dollars, attacking the “fake news media” and “the sick political class that hates our country.”

This National Police Week, I was honored to welcome the San Bernardino County Police Department and Ontario Police Department. Their work keeps our communities safe every day. I’m grateful for their service, sacrifice, and continued commitment to protecting our communities.

The American justice system is not for sale. Reports that DOJ may drop fraud charges against a billionaire with powerful political ties raise serious concerns about who justice serves. We cannot allow fairness to be traded to the highest bidder.

Proud to join the bipartisan U.S.-Mexico Caucus to strengthen cooperation between the United States and Mexico. From trade and security to economic opportunity, this partnership impacts millions every day. At a time of growing tensions, we must build bridges, not barriers.

During National Police Week, we honor the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our communities. We remember Timothy Corlew, Hector Cuevas Jr., and Andrew Nunez and all 363 officers killed in the line of duty this year. Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

TORRES: When is the White House going to submit a disaster package for California? If you're not able to answer that question--- TURNER: Part of the problem is with CA leadership TORRES: There shouldn't be any mention of any supplemental, like the illegal Iran war, without giving CA what it needs

CA pays the bills, funds the agencies, and subsidizes the country. But when it’s our turn, when 7:10 fire survivors still can’t go home, suddenly the checkbook is closed? We sent $275B more than we got back last year. CA is tired of funding this government only to be abandoned.

It was great to see NASA astronaut Victor Glover at the Capitol today. Always proud to see someone from Pomona reach the highest levels and represent our communities in such an incredible way. His journey with the #Artemis program continues to inspire so many young people back home.

Trump promised to lower costs on Day One. Instead, his reckless handling of the war with Iran is driving up gas prices, fueling inflation, and making life more expensive. While billionaires cash in on his tax giveaways, Americans are paying more at the pump and at the grocery store.

It was a privilege to recognize local Vietnam Veteran Richard Beasom for his service and sacrifice with a commemorative lapel pin honoring the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. If you know a Vietnam Veteran who should receive this recognition, please contact my District Office at (909) 481-6474

The only thing "unhinged" here is a President calling for a private "army" to hover over legal voters. This blatant attempt to bully Americans out of their right to vote is pathetic. Our democracy doesn’t belong to anyone.

ICE raids don’t just impact immigrant communities, they are also hurting American workers, lowering employment and destabilizing local economies. This fear-based approach is not a solution. We need immigration policy rooted in order, fairness, and real economic sense, not cruelty.

ICE raids reduce jobs for both U.S.-born and undocumented workers, study finds
Increased ICE raids and checkpoints have lowered employment for undocumented immigrants by 4 to 5 percent. Employment for U.S.-born workers with a high school degree or less also took a hit.

I introduced and passed Savanna’s Act because for too long, the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women was met with a shrug from the federal government. Today, on National #MMIW Awareness Day, I’m continuing to press the Justice Department for full implementation.

The DOJ decision making it easier to detain and deport DACA recipients is a betrayal of everything this country promised Dreamers. Dreamers belong here. Congress must act now to deliver a permanent pathway to citizenship.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais is a shameful abdication of duty that effectively legalizes racial discrimination under the mask of partisan politics.

My amendment was just ACCEPTED by the committee. For too long, the powerful have used their connections to dodge consequences. This amendment stops taxpayer dollars from being used to lift sanctions on credible child traffickers. We’re drawing a line in the sand: Justice isn't for sale.

Relieved to hear that everyone at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is safe tonight based on initial reports. A free press is foundational to our democracy, and those who work to keep us informed must be able to do so without fear of violence. Violence is never acceptable.

Justice for survivors should never be sidelined by White House interference. Using federal authority to protect accused sex traffickers is a betrayal of the people we are supposed to protect. Survivors deserve a government that fights for them, not for their exploiters.

If you are willing to die for this country, you should not be deported by it. My amendment to ensure non-citizen veterans receive legal counsel and due process was blocked, leaving our heroes at risk. This is a betrayal of our values and a broken promise to those who wore the uniform.

Imagine paying more for bread just because of the data on your phone. It’s called “Surveillance Pricing.” I tried to have the FTC investigate this digital price-gouging, but House Republicans just blocked it. They’re protecting corporate profits while you pay the price at the checkout.

Veterans should never be denied their basic rights. This week, Republicans blocked my amendment to guarantee non-citizen veterans legal counsel and a fair hearing, replacing it with empty words. If you fought for this country, this country should fight for you.

It’s markup day: I’m introducing four amendments to hold this government accountable. ✔️ Due process for veterans
✔️ No blank checks for war with Iran
✔️ No insurrectionists on the federal payroll
✔️ No more surveillance pricing Heading into committee to put this on the record. Stay tuned.

This week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. Before I was in Congress, I spent 17 years as a 911 dispatcher. I know the weight of that headset and the adrenaline of being the voice on the other end. To our dispatchers: thank you for your service and for always answering the call.

"Stealthing" isn’t just a violation of trust, it’s assault.   For too long, perpetrators have acted with impunity. I’m leading the Consent is Key Act and the Stealthing Act to ensure there are real legal consequences for this violence.   Impunity ends here. 19thnews.org/2026/04/stea...

Republicans just voted AGAINST a War Powers Resolution and handed this administration a blank check for war.   At least $40 BILLION gone. Gas jumped from under $5 to over $6. Inflation is climbing. Housing is slowing.   Working families are paying the price.

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors is right: taxpayer dollars should not be used to cover the legal costs of politically driven or questionable actions by elected officials. Working families shouldn’t be forced to bankroll abuse of power.
