Proud to join @friedman.house.gov and Congressional Jewish Caucus colleagues to demand answers on the Coast Guard’s weakened stance on swastikas and other hateful imagery. Hate cannot be tolerated and we need to know how and why this happened. jewishinsider.com/2025/11/cong...
Congressional Jewish Caucus demands answers on Coast Guard swastika policy
The lawmakers said that, while the policy was reversed, ‘this kind of reversal … raises urgent questions about how and why this policy was allowed to advance’

Appreciate @governor.ca.gov’s leadership keeping production and jobs in California. As Hollywood's representative in Congress, I’m working on a National Film Tax Credit to build on this success and help keep American production competitive globally while protecting our local economy.

NEW: @governor.ca.gov announced 17 TV series will FILM IN CA under the latest Tax Credit awards! These projects bring $1.2B in economic activity — 5,165 jobs, 1,000 filming days, and $902M in in-state spending ($487M in wages). With the nation’s largest capped film incentive, CA leads.

Words cannot describe how appalling this is. The swastika is not just a “potentially divisive” symbol — it represents the systematic murder of six million Jews. The noose is a symbol of the lynching of Black Americans used to instill fear and enforce white supremacy.

Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols. The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

This has been a particularly difficult year for our transgender community. I am fighting alongside advocates to protect their civil rights and to push back against the onslaught of hatred and intolerance directed at trans people. (2/3)

Thank you USO, for allowing me the honor of lending a hand to put together care kits for our brave service members. This is just a small token of appreciation for those who protect us day in and day out. In Congress, I’ll continue to advocate for the needs of service members and their families.

Standing beside Epstein survivors at tonight’s vigil, we got the news: the Senate will pass the Epstein files bill unanimously. The truth is coming and the days of protecting those who committed these heinous crimes are over. Honored to stand with survivors and fight for long-overdue justice.

Months ago I grilled this FEMA Administrator on why 80% of Texans in crisis got silence instead of help. He had no answers. The next FEMA head must have relevant expertise and treat the job seriously. Their performance is a matter of life or death.

Great to see the opening of a renovated Fremont Park! I’ll continue to work to bring federal investments into our community to save local taxpayers money and make LA an even greater place to live, work, and raise a family.
Glendale's Renovated Fremont Park Draws Large Crowd

Organizations like My Friend's Place offer a helping hand to young adults who need an extra boost to get housing or put food on the table. Unfortunately, the Trump administration is putting that vital aid in jeopardy. (1/2)
