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.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 31(source)

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.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 29(source)

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.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 28(source)

…refuses to wear body cameras or use warrants, lies to judges, and continues to bring chaos into our neighborhoods. I voted no on today’s performative and doomed piece of legislation. I will continue to work to pass the Senate’s commonsense compromise legislation to open the government.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 28(source)

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,…

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 27(source)

Not one more penny for ICE to continue illegally terrorizing our communities and making us less safe.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 27(source)

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.

LATEST: Senate approves deal that would fund most of DHS, but not ICE.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 27(source)

Equal pay for equal work is a promise, and I am working hard every day in Congress to make good on that promise for all of the women in the workforce. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 27(source)

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)

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

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.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 25(source)

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.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 25(source)

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.

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

This is just one of the successes I’ve had in making our lives safer and more affordable - by bringing taxpayer dollars back to our communities. (2/2)

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

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)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 23(source)

In Congress, I’m always looking for ways to empower and support the local heroes in our schools who help teach the next generation. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 23(source)

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

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

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.

WATCH: More than 80% of U.S. children attend public schools. Some of the Education Department’s ultraconservative advisers, led by Secretary Linda McMahon, want to change that. Here’s an inside look at their dismantling of public education:

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

Republicans have blocked that bill time and time again. (2/2)

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

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)

TSA rolls out video warning travelers of long wait times, blaming 'Democrat shutdown'

TSA officers begin receiving their first $0 paycheck Friday.
