Rep. Norma Torres, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 35th district since 2015, shared a series of tweets on February 20, 2025, highlighting various topics from immigrant rights to local economic developments.

In her first tweet of the day, Rep. Torres emphasized the importance of immigrants in strengthening communities. She shared her experience visiting a citizenship class at Fontana Unified School District where students are preparing for their future as U.S. citizens. She stated, "Immigrants strengthen our communities. I visited a @FontanaUnified citizenship class where students are preparing for their future as U.S. citizens. In these challenging times, we must stand up for the rights, dignity, and opportunity of immigrant communities."

Later that day, she commented on former President Donald Trump's actions with a critical tone towards his approach to leadership and democracy. She wrote, "Trump’s reality show flopped, so now he’s trying to turn our democracy into his own circus—starring himself as the clown. But America isn’t his stage, and the presidency isn’t a crown." Rep. Torres underscored that leadership should be about service rather than ego.

In her final tweet of the day, Rep. Torres announced significant economic news for California's 35th district with ZM Trucks opening its first North American manufacturing plant and regional headquarters in Fontana. She noted this development would create well-paying jobs and reinforce the region's role in transportation manufacturing: "Exciting news for #CA35! ZM Trucks is opening its first North American manufacturing plant & regional HQ in Fontana—creating good-paying jobs & reinforcing the Inland Empire’s leadership in transportation manufacturing."
