As AI technology rapidly develops, we must have commonsense guardrails to prevent these influential platforms from generating antisemitic, hateful, or harmful content. (1/2)
I’m excited to announce that the winning app from my first Congressional App Challenge is SyncRide! Created by high school students Andrew Oh, Hannah Lee, Ginna Kim, and Aaron Kim, SyncRide was designed to make ride planning easier, cheaper, and better for the environment. (1/2)
I fight for clean air & against Trump’s decimation of environmental protections because of disastrous policies like this. We make America healthy again by fighting for clean air & water. I’ve spent my career working to protect the Earth & the humans who rely on it, & I am more committed than ever.
Glendale is looking a little brighter at night with the Christmas tree lit up in City Hall! #TeamFriedman was honored to attend & celebrate this annual tradition with so many of you.
As a longtime advocate for clean water access, getting to see the inner workings of the Crescenta Valley Water District reaffirmed why I’ve been fighting for this issue for so long. Clean water is not a luxury few should have access to – it is a basic necessity that every Angeleno needs. (1/2)
#TeamFriedman was humbled to attend @BurbankPolice K-9 Spike’s memorial service. Spike was killed in the line of duty last month while keeping our community safe and we grieve his loss alongside the department and all who knew him.
Families in my district are counting on this relief. Speaker Johnson must bring the vote to the floor now before it’s too late. If he delays, the price hikes that hit millions of Americans will be on his and House Republicans’ shoulders.
BREAKING: Four House Republicans have just forced a vote on healthcare subsidies. Four GOP members of Congress have signed on to the Democrats' discharge petition, and now a mandatory vote on extending ACA tax credits must be held.
It’s hard to make Pasadena’s spectacular City Hall look any better, but this year’s Christmas tree lighting made that possible! #TeamFriedman was honored to join-in on the holiday festivities.
Trump's new policy affects nurses as well as physical and occupational therapists. Not only does that means longer wait times to receive care, it means a much more difficult and expensive road to recovery for millions of Americans. (1/2)
This weekend’s string of violent antisemitic attacks cast a darkness over Hanukkah celebrations, but our community was undeterred – standing together in community to cast light and joy as we celebrated this important Jewish holiday. (1/2)
Trump’s complete & utter disregard for two incredible Americans being brutally murdered is almost too disgusting to believe. Instead of honoring their lives, he turned their deaths into a political punchline and a personal attack. So I’ll remind him of his own words, after Charlie Kirk was killed:
I refuse to hide who I am. Today, I will remember those we’ve lost and celebrate Hanukkah with my community. Chag Sameach to all who are celebrating. We will not be intimidated.
And yet, even in this darkness, there is light. In Sydney, a hero named Ahmed El Ahmed risked everything to stop the attacker. He was shot while protecting others and saved countless lives. People like him give me hope, and I am praying for him.
Antisemitism is rising. Hate is rising. According to the FBI, even though Jews make up only around 2 percent of the U.S. population, they were the target of nearly 70 percent of all reported religion-based hate crimes in 2024.
