Rep. Laura Friedman

Eid Mubarak to all those breaking their fast this evening. May this Eid bring joy and peace to all.

There's a solution to the chaos at airports & TSA agents going without a paycheck. I just signed the discharge petition, which fast-tracks a vote on the legislation to separate TSA from negotiations around ICE. Republicans should join us & stop holding TSA hostage.

No surprise that the Justice Department has been withholding these documents for months. They’re in direct violation of the law we passed to release the Epstein files. I’m glad my colleagues subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi to answer for breaking the law.

Great to see this project come to life! I helped secure the investment needed to make these improvements in road safety when I was in the Assembly, and I’ll never stop fighting to make our roadways safer for everyone. Congratulations to Nithya Ramen @cd4losangeles, the driving force behind making Griffith Park safer!

TODAY: @metrolosangeles is hosting a public meeting on the North Hollywood to Pasadena Bus Rapid Transit Project. Burbank residents, come share your input tonight from 6:00-7:30PM at the Buena Vista Branch Library.

A few days ago I joined a bipartisan group of my colleagues – more than 150 strong – to demand that the Dept. of Education put a stop to plans that would worsen our nursing shortage and drive-up healthcare costs for families. We are standing up to the Trump Administration to make sure you can get the care you need.

Trump and Congressional Republicans ignore when Americans ask for lower grocery bills and affordable healthcare, but burn through billions of taxpayer dollars to get us into war. Their priorities are backwards. Our economy is tanking, costs are skyrocketing, and Trump is focused only on dropping bombs and creating global chaos. I’m focused on making Americans’ lives better here at home.

Calling all high school students in CA-30! I'm now accepting submissions for my Congressional Art Competition. This year’s theme is “Life in the 30th", and I encourage all of our artists to create a piece that reflects what life in California’s 30th Congressional District looks like or means to them. The last day to submit your artwork is April 10th at 5:00 PM PST. For more information, visit friedman.house.gov.

Why did Donald Trump’s DOJ not pursue this investigation? The Epstein Files Transparency Act, of which I was an early cosponsor, requires that the DOJ detail their decisions to investigate and prosecute, as well as the reasons for dropping a case. This smells like a cover-up.

Oscar weekend in L.A. and I'm already starstruck. Got to meet two-time Academy Award winner @iamRuthECarter at this year's @LAMag's Woman Luncheon. She's the legendary costume designer behind Black Panther and nominated again this Sunday. Rooting for Ruth and celebrating the incredible talent that calls Hollywood home.

The Iran war is costing 6x more than what we spend on food assistance for hungry Americans. Trump has decided we can't afford healthcare tax credits for hardworking Americans, but we can spend up to $2 billion a day dropping bombs in the Middle East.

Thanks to the @MyGlendale, City of Pasadena, @GlendaleFireCA, @PasadenaFD, and @BurbankFire, and all of our community partners, fire, police, and EMS heroes for helping to make this happen.

I’m proud to announce I’ve secured a $1 million federal investment to fully upgrade the Verdugo Fire Communications Center. Public safety is one of my top priorities. That’s why I worked hard to lock in this federal investment, which will improve response times for more than 944,000 Angelenos.

In the past 24 hours we've seen violent, antisemitic attacks in San Jose and now Michigan. Jews were beaten for speaking Hebrew. A truck filled with explosives was rammed into a synagogue with children inside. I am praying for the victims and their families. This is happening in our country right now. Every single one of us should publicly condemn this hatred. Silence cannot be an option.

The SAVE Act is being framed as “election security.” Last week, Trump said that he won’t sign any bill into law until he signs the SAVE Act effectively stalling all action in the Senate. 1/ Here’s 6 reasons why @SenateDems will ensure the SAVE Act never sees the light of day:

With gas prices spiking, groceries going up, and domestic programs being gutted to pay for billionaire tax breaks, we are funding a war with no exit plan. I asked the question everyone's thinking:

Back in August, I toured their kitchen while it was still under construction. That's when I witnessed firsthand how Trump’s cuts to federal investments harm the medical patients that @ProjAngelFood serves through their meals. I will always fight to make sure that our families get the nutrition assistance they need.

#TeamFriedman was honored to celebrate @ProjAngelFood’s ribbon cutting for their new kitchen and campus right here in CA-30! Now Project Angel Food can serve even more Angelenos in need.
