When someone tries to speed to evade police, they put everyone in harm’s way. My new, bipartisan Next Gen Road Safety Act will give our law enforcement the resources they need to keep you and our community safe. Read more about it here:

House Republicans are trying to ram-through a rewrite of our nation's spy powers, including warrantless data collection on US citizens. They dropped the text at 11pm and will vote at 3am. No vetting. No public input. About spying on Americans. I'm a NO.

Just voted YES on the War Powers Resolution to end Trump's unfettered ability to wage war in Iran. It failed by one vote. One. Vote. Last time, the margin was worse. We're gaining ground and we'll keep at it until Congress does its job and upholds the Constitution.

I joined my Democratic colleagues and dedicated election experts in LA last week, where we discussed the plan to defend our elections against federal meddling and attacks like the so-called SAVE Act. (1/2)

Whether you’re in LA, the Bay, or anywhere in between, you’ll know that reckless high-speed car chases aren’t limited to any particular area. This is an issue that doesn’t care where you live. My Next Gen Road Safety Act is a bipartisan solution to this dangerous problem. Read more about it here:

Happy Thai New Year, which is also known as Songkran. As the proud representative of one of the first Thai Towns in America, I hope this special time of year brings a sense of renewal and peace to all and especially to our Thai friends and neighbors.

Today, at sunset, we begin Yom HaShoah. During this time, we remember the horrors of the Holocaust and the 11 million people murdered at the hands of the evil Nazi regime, including 6 million Jews. (1/2)

Yesterday, I spoke at the Holocaust Museum of LA’s Yom HaShoah ceremony alongside survivors who lived through the Holocaust. I talked about what’s happening now, with antisemitism rising, synagogues being defaced (including my own), and why exactly “never again” cannot just be words.

I've worked in too many places — Hollywood, the Legislature, and Congress — to stay silent while people in power take advantage of their staff.

Congrats to the crews behind The Pitt, I Love LA, and all the other projects receiving California’s robust production tax credit. This program brings filming back to CA and LA! (1/2)

Today, I'm remembering the anti-Armenian pogroms in Sumgait, Baku, and Maragha. These weren't isolated incidents — they were state-sanctioned violence that laid the groundwork for the ethnic cleansing of more than 150,000 Armenians from Artsakh in 2023. (1/2)

Today, our members join students around the country in observing Glisten's #DayOfSilence to protest anti-LGBTQI+ harassment, discrimination, & violence in schools. Every student should be free to learn in a safe, affirming environment—and that's exactly what we're fighting for.

Today is the LAST day for students to put the finishing touches on their masterpieces & submit their work to qualify for my Congressional Art Contest! Our young artists have until 5 PM tonight! For submission instructions, visit friedman.house.gov.

Clear proof that ICE is not going after “the worst of the worst”. Future Marines have sworn an oath to lay their life down for this country, and this is the "thanks" they get from this administration. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

We don’t have to accept constant dangerous car chases as the norm here in LA. Earlier today, I unveiled brand-new bipartisan legislation to put the brakes on reckless drivers and protect our families and law enforcement.

The president just threatened to wipe out an entire civilization. Republican leadership can't sleepwalk its way into a war crime. It’s unconscionable that Speaker Johnson sends his members on vacation while Trump escalates his reckless war. (1/2)

This Administration will send our sons and daughters to war, then deny them the promotions they’ve earned without an explaination. This is shameful and alarming. Those risking it all for our country should be rightfully recognized. (1/2)

Happy Easter Sunday! I hope your Easter is spent surrounded by family and friends.

This administration has NO plans on how to resolve Trump’s reckless war with Iran, but they had time to roll out this useless app. Now, American taxpayers can see in real time how Trump is burning through their dollars.

For too long, millions of hardworking families have gotten crushed under rising prices while the uber-wealthy have made out like bandits thanks to our rigged economy. (1/2)

Wishing all those who celebrate a peaceful and blessed Good Friday.

There’s just 1 week left for our young artists to submit their masterpieces for a chance to have it showcased in the U.S. Capitol! We had so many wonderful submissions last year, so I’m excited to see how our artists interpret the theme of “Life in the 30th" this year. (1/2)

The numbers don’t lie. When we invest in public transit safety, more people ride, traffic congestion goes down, & businesses across our region thrive. If you want travel options that are affordable AND safe, share this video!

The Rose Bowl is getting ready to host its third Olympic Games. But the pipes running underneath it? Nearly 100 years old. Today I announced over $1 million in federal investments to fix that and save local taxpayers from footing the bill alone. 🧵

I was deeply humbled to lead the She’hechiyanu prayer at the Jewish Federation of LA’s Interfaith Seder. The lesson of Passover is especially true right now. Los Angelenos are facing extraordinary challenges, but always help their neighbors in times of need.

My family and I are wishing you all a joyous Passover. Chag Pesach Sameach!

For the first time in over 50 years, today we're sending humans to circumnavigate the Moon! Many of the people making this possible, and many of the engineers and scientists at @nasajpl.bsky.social keeping this crew connected across 250,000 miles, are our neighbors right here in #CA30.

Iran's regime recently executed four political prisoners in just two days. It's clear that the regime is using the chaos of this ongoing conflict to accelerate its repression. We need a real plan that helps them achieve this, not a war that leaves the same hard-line regime in place.

Nearly 50 million Americans voted by mail in 2024. Trump's executive order seeking to let the federal government control who receives a mail ballot is unconstitutional, and especially ironic from a man who just voted by mail himself.

In case you are wondering where the money for their reckless war in Iran will come from… They’re proposing to take it directly out of your healthcare. (1/3)

Today we honor and recognize the countless farmworkers whose hands have fed America, and whose fight helped shape the Latino civil rights movement. March 31st will always be about these workers, families, organizers, and survivors.

To all of our transgender friends, neighbors, constituents, and loved ones: I see you and I will always fight for your right to live as your authentic selves. The transgender community’s bravery in the face of this administration’s relentless attacks is inspiring, and I am proud to stand with you.

We need so much more of this: 253 affordable homes coming to Hollywood, plus new studio and creative spaces. Toured construction of the Entertainment Community Fund's Hollywood Arts Collective. I can't wait to see the finished project.

Today, we honor all of our veterans who served in the Vietnam War, including my dear uncle Alan. On behalf of a grateful nation that remembers your courage and sacrifice, we salute you and we thank you.

House Republicans made a choice — they decided to continue this shutdown instead of passing the Senate's bipartisan bill that would have paid TSA agents while ICE negotiations continue. Just as Democrats have made clear for months, we will not give another cent to an agency that killed Americans,…

This is exactly what Democrats have been fighting for — a vote on legislation to separate TSA from negotiations around ICE. I'm a yes on this vote if it comes to the House floor. Let's get this done.

62 years after the passage of the Equal Pay Act, women still earn just 85% of what men earn for the same work. The pay gap has now widened for the second year in a row. (1/2)

Signed by the guy who refuses to fund enforcement of white-collar crimes, and who keeps pardoning convicted criminals who have swindled Americans out of millions.

I wrote the law that unlocked billions in financing for the K Line extension without raising taxes. Now, LA is one vote away from either building the transit we need, or stalling yet again. Choose the best route forward now. Choose the San Vicente-Fairfax route.

Trump’s war of choice with Iran is not a “little excursion”. It’s not a video game either, especially to the families of the 13 service members who have been killed.

My constituents deserve a fast response when they call 9-1-1. Last week I announced a $1 million + federal investment for the Verdugo Emergency Communications Center. (1/2)

I had the honor of celebrating the grand opening of Schools First Federal Credit Union’s first location in the city of LA, in the Mid-Wilshire neighborhood in my district. Schools First FCU is the nation’s largest credit union serving school employees, teachers, and the general public. (1/2)

Trump: I’m going to put ICE in the airports, where they will target and arrest all the illegals, especially Somalis, because I hate the Democrats Headlines: Trump puts ICE officers in airports to ease long lines, provide relief for weary travelers

Public schools are the great equalizer in this nation, giving all children access to quality education. Now the Trump Admin wants to go back on that promise. Fund and fix public schools - don’t destroy them.

Fact Check: Republicans control the House, Senate, & the White House, which means they’re solely responsible for your horrible airport experience. I'm fighting for a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard & other vital agencies so Americans can get to where they need to go quickly & safely. (1/2)

#TeamFriedman was able to share how we can help our incredible seniors at the Fairfax Senior Center. Whether you need help with Social Security or receiving VA benefits you’ve earned and deserve, my office is here to help you with any issues involving a federal agency.

Today's spotlight hearing in Burbank — here's what I heard from Noah Wyle, @jimacosta.bsky.social, IATSE's Matt Loeb & Future Film Coalition's Jax Deluca on the state of film & TV production. Any loss in production jobs hits my district hard. I won't stop fighting for a national film tax credit. 🧵

I asked @jimacosta.bsky.social what he'd tell his former colleagues at CNN and the other networks right now while Trump attacks free speech. He didn't hesitate: hang in there. Keep doing your jobs. Speak truth to power.

Nowruz Mobarak! Wishing all those celebrating today a joyful new year.
