I’m sure a bunch of lifetime military brass enjoyed flying back on urgent notice to be lectured on “warrior ethos” by a weekend morning show host

Dan Lamothe

WAPO SCOOP: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos,” multiple people familiar with the event told The Washington Post. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

That’s why I joined my colleagues in opposing these dangerous proposals.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 26(source)

Israeli ministers’ calls to annex the West Bank are wrong. Annexation would fuel more conflict, derail the Abraham Accords, and stand in the way of peace and bringing the hostages home. Netanyahu is not showing interest in ending this war. We need a real path to end the conflict.

📺⬇️There's no asterisk for the First Amendment. My take on Trump's latest attempt doubling down on ABC and threatening them over daring to air views he doesn’t like.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 24(source)

I joined residents who have been affected by the Eaton fires at Regrow Altadena, a resource fair helping connect survivors with the help they need to rebuild. In Congress, I’m working hard on bipartisan legislation that will help communities like Altadena rebuild faster and with less red tape.

Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown today. It marks the New Year in Judaism, and is a time for both repentance and celebration. From my family to yours — Shanah Tovah! Have a good and sweet new year.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 22(source)

Honored to join the community in Glendale to celebrate Armenian Independence Day. Grateful to the Nor Serount Cultural Association and the Armenian Council of America for hosting this incredibly fun festival of music, food, and tradition.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 21(source)

As we mark this milestone, I’m proud to always stand with our Armenian community here and across the world.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 21(source)

Here in Southern California, the Armenian community has made countless contributions to every part of our lives. From business to the arts, Armenian Americans continue to positively shape our region in lasting and meaningful ways.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 21(source)

Today, we mark 34 years since the Republic of Armenia declared its independence, a celebration of perseverance and strength in the face of continued threats.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 20(source)

In Congress, I’ll continue to support community-based approaches that help, not harm, our community members in need.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 20(source)

I recently had the chance to visit Fountain House, a local nonprofit that serves individuals with mental illnesses. Their approach allows individuals to access assistance in a supportive environment.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 20(source)

I’m focused on a National Film Tax Credit to make sure we have a thriving Hollywood for these students to work in after they graduate.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 20(source)

It was an honor to tour Mount Saint Mary's University Hollywood Campus and get the all-access pass to their impressive Film, Media, and Communications department. They’re preparing Hollywood’s next camera operators & scriptwriters.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 18(source)

Trump is trying to silence dissent. Late night is provocative — that’s the point. The FCC has no business threatening broadcasters for airing criticism of the President. It’s counter to everything our nation stands for. My take about @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social being yanked off air:

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 17(source)

If you’re currently experiencing issues or delays with your disability benefits, my Constituent Services team can help – just call (818) 524-4384. We’ll be there for you.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 17(source)

More red tape for Americans with disabilities to navigate – more bureaucracy and barriers to receiving benefits. This is the Trump administration’s plan to make it harder for Americans to get what they deserve.

White House looking to cut certain disability benefits

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are poised to get their benefits cut.

LA STEM Collective’s Executive Director Jamecca Marshall is a part of my education advisory committee, and I’m glad to have her insights as I fight for more educational opportunities for our children.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 17(source)

Recently, Team Friedman was proud to recognize LA STEM Collective at an event that brought STEM organizations, youth leaders, and community leaders together to make STEM education accessible to all.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govSep 16(source)

Americans who are victims of disasters deserve speedy and unconditional aid. Anything less is a dereliction of duty and a failure for Americans.

AP finds major disaster declarations are taking longer under Trump

Disaster survivors are waiting longer for federal aid. A new Associated Press analysis found that it's taking more than a month, on average, for President Donald Trump to approve major disaster declar...
