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.
We’re coming up on the 250th anniversary of our nation -- 250 years of democracy. It’s up to all of us to preserve the bedrock of our Democracy – our right to vote. (2/2)
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.
May their memories be a blessing and a reminder that we all have a responsibility to condemn hate and antisemitism to ensure it never happens again. (2/2)
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.
Reps Swalwell & Gonzales’s predatory behaviors towards their staff are clear abuses of power & betrayals of the public’s trust. Both have credible, undenied and deeply disturbing allegations against them and both should be expelled.
I've worked in too many places — Hollywood, the Legislature, and Congress — to stay silent while people in power take advantage of their staff.
Now imagine how many more shows and movies we could make right here in America if we had something like that at a national level. I’m fighting to make that dream a reality with a new national film tax credit. (2/2)
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)
I am proud to represent one of the largest Armenian-American communities in the nation and I will not stop fighting till Azerbaijan:
— Releases all Armenian POWs
— Guarantees the right of return for displaced Armenians
— Stops destroying Armenian cultural and religious heritage sites. (2/2)
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.
Thank you to all those that have submitted, and best of luck to all of our students.
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.

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.
