🏳️‍⚧️ Laura Friedman Proud to stand with as we broke ground on the first-ever building built from the ground up dedicated to TGI wellness. This project has been 17 years in the making a testament to the fact that while the road wasn't easy, our commitment to trans lives is unshakeable.

I represent one of the largest Armenian American communities in the country, and I will not stay silent while their loyalty is questioned and their community is targeted by a serial bigot. (2/2)

The name was never the problem. The problem is that two American citizens have been killed, countless more have had their rights violated, and agents terrorize our communities while Trump blocks oversight or accountability. Americans want top to bottom reform, not a rebranding.
Trump backs idea of changing ICE’s name to ‘NICE’
President Trump on Sunday endorsed the idea of changing the name of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to National Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which would give the agency the acrony…

As a member of the Committee on Science and Technology, I am working to bring critical resources to our scientific community so that American can continue to be a world leader in space exploration and crucial scientific research. (2/2)

While the crew of Artemis II returned from their historic visit to space, I had the opportunity to tour the Carnegie Observatory, which is the birthplace of much of our understanding of our universe. (1/2)

Gutting the National Science Board is another Trump move that will stifle the discoveries which benefit all Americans. I sit on the House Committee on Science, Space & Technology because I know how scientific research improves our lives. (1/2)
Trump ousts National Science Board members
Members of the independent board that guides the National Science Foundation said they received a notice from the White House that their position was being terminated.

In Congress, I’m working to complement our State partners with a national film tax credit that will be a crucial multiplier to the filming incentives offered in California. (2/2)

I’m working in Congress to bring down the cost of transit, and to bring it to communities faster!

The permitting bill was introduced by @titus.house.gov (D-NV) and co-sponsored by fellow members of the House T&I Committee Reps. Rob Bresnahan (R-PA) and @friedman.house.gov (D-CA). It would speed up transit and rail projects. aptapassengertransport.com/apta-support... @transportdems.bsky.social

I'm proud to represent a district rich with the cultural contributions of all the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities that call it home. That includes Thai Town, a vibrant part of Los Angeles, and where pad thai world record history was made just last weekend!

I toured the shining light in Hollywood that is Being Alive LA, an organization working tirelessly to combat HIV stigma and provide care for our friends and neighbors living with HIV/AIDS. They’ve been at this for 40 years, and I’m proud to support their efforts in caring for our neighbors.

Great to see this project get started! Once finished, commuters including many in my district will see their transit times cut down by 30 to 40%. In Congress, I’m laser focused on expanding access to transit and keeping commuters safe as they get from Point A to Point B.
Work getting underway for NoHo-Pasadena BRT Line
Work has commenced for a new bus rapid transit that will connect the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys, according to a notice recently issued by the City of Pasadena.

I'm working with colleagues in Congress to fight back. We will use every tool we have to stop this administration from weaponizing federal agencies to silence critics. The First Amendment and a free press aren't negotiable.

And this isn't just a threat at Disney, it's a direct message to every newsroom in America: air content we don't like, and we'll come after your licenses. Report critically on this administration and your entire business could vanish overnight.
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govApr 29(source)
This is the kind of move we condemn when it happens in other countries. It's happening here now. One FCC Commissioner called this "the most egregious action this FCC has taken in violation of the First Amendment to date."
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govApr 29(source)
I have a lot of thoughts about the Trump Administration forcing Disney/ABC to renew its broadcast licenses early. It is blatant government retaliation against a network that airs critical voices. 🧵
