Thank you USO, for allowing me the honor of lending a hand to put together care kits for our brave service members. This is just a small token of appreciation for those who protect us day in and day out. In Congress, I’ll continue to advocate for the needs of service members and their families.

Standing beside Epstein survivors at tonight’s vigil, we got the news: the Senate will pass the Epstein files bill unanimously. The truth is coming and the days of protecting those who committed these heinous crimes are over. Honored to stand with survivors and fight for long-overdue justice.

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

The American people deserve transparency about the Epstein files, and the victims deserve accountability, regardless of what party they belong to. (2/2)

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

I was one of the first people to cosponsor the resolution to release the full Epstein Files, and I’m back in D.C. this week to vote to bring justice to the victims. I encourage my House Republican colleagues to do the same. (1/2)

Republicans expecting mass defections on Epstein vote

Democrats pushing the discharge petition predicted that Republicans would rush to support the measure once it hit the floor.

Months ago I grilled this FEMA Administrator on why 80% of Texans in crisis got silence instead of help. He had no answers. The next FEMA head must have relevant expertise and treat the job seriously. Their performance is a matter of life or death.

Breaking news: David Richardson resigned as acting head of FEMA. Richardson was known for frequently being inaccessible, including during the early hours of the flood disaster in Texas over the Fourth of July weekend.

American Education Week starts now! From my Education Advisory Committee to my work with local parents and teachers, you can count on me to fight for your children’s education.

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

Great to see the opening of a renovated Fremont Park! I’ll continue to work to bring federal investments into our community to save local taxpayers money and make LA an even greater place to live, work, and raise a family.

Glendale's Renovated Fremont Park Draws Large Crowd

Glendale's nearly 8-acre Fremont Park reopened on Saturday, Oct. 11 following major renovations. The park, which has been serving the community since 1922, boasts a new community building, free public

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

People need cheaper groceries, affordable healthcare, and lower rents – now - not next year. (2/2)

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

As a mom, I get after my daughter when she procrastinates on doing her homework. So I find it completely unacceptable that President Trump is putting off working on one of the biggest crises facing Americans: affordability. (1/2)

Top Trump political adviser says president will focus on affordability going forward

Democrats had resounding election wins by pressing on the economy.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 15(source)

I will continue to fight against this administration’s assault on our communities. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 15(source)

Organizations like My Friend's Place offer a helping hand to young adults who need an extra boost to get housing or put food on the table. Unfortunately, the Trump administration is putting that vital aid in jeopardy. (1/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 15(source)

You deserve to see a doctor & get the medicine you need. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 15(source)

Here’s the bottom line: healthcare costs are going to skyrocket for hardworking Americans across the board. Many will not be able to afford it. I’ll keep fighting to make sure that you won’t have to pay double or even triple for basic healthcare. (1/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 14(source)

Citing increasing danger and confusion, even the FBI is asking ICE to stop wearing masks. We need to pass the No Masks for ICE Act now. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-11-06/fbi-alerts-police-agencies-about-masked-criminals-posing-as-ice-recommends-they-show-id

FBI urges ICE agents to identify themselves after string of impersonators commit crimes

Citing a string of incidents in which masked criminals posing as immigration officers robbed and kidnapped victims, the FBI recently issued a memo suggesting agents clearly identify themselves while they're in the field.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 13(source)

I’ll keep working to support our local businesses and make sure they can thrive. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 13(source)

Stopped by Dialog Cafe in West Hollywood to experience one of LA’s most dazzling small businesses. I had a great conversation with Tadeh, one of the owners, about Dialog's history and incredible presence in the community, and the pressures on small businesses caused by tariffs. (1/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 13(source)

I just left the floor of the House, where I refused to rubber-stamp the same Republican agenda that got us into this shutdown mess and created a healthcare crisis. My vote reflects my commitment to my constituents. I won’t stop fighting until this nation treats healthcare as a human right.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 13(source)

Over the 43 days of this shutdown, House Republicans refused to negotiate or even show up in D.C., went out of their way to take food assistance away from millions of Americans to try to pressure Democrats, and made your healthcare more expensive to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 11(source)

I had the great honor of speaking to students, families, & veterans at Our Lady of Lourdes during their Veterans Day ceremony. Thank you to all those who served our nation. I’ll keep working to make sure you get the support you’ve earned and deserve.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govNov 11(source)

Happy Veteran’s Day! Every day, but especially today, we honor the men and women of our armed forces who sacrificed for our nation. I am committed to ensuring that our veterans receive the benefits and resources they deserve.
