There’s just under 2 weeks left to submit your application to my office for the Congressional App Challenge! The apps students have created in the past have been creative and inspiring, and I have no doubt this year will bring more of the same creativity.

Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the passage of the Clean Water Act. Every American deserves access to clean water, free of lead and forever chemicals. I’ll continue defending our natural resources for all our children and families.

Today is National Mammography Day, which serves as an important reminder for high-risk women to get their routine mammogram. As a breast cancer survivor, these are key to early detection and treatment.

Medicaid/Medi-Cal supports Californians living with disabilities & gives them the chance to get the medical support they need while living independently in their communities. But Republicans think that support should be “optional”. I couldn’t disagree more.

Programs that help Californians with disabilities could face a significant cut in Medi-Cal funding.

Even in the middle of a shutdown, the work doesn’t stop — especially when it comes to investing in our next generation of leaders. (2/2)

While House Republicans walk off their job and refuse to return to DC, I showed up for mine. Yesterday, I gave a tour of the Capitol to more than 80 brilliant students from across Los Angeles. (1/2)

In the United States, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives, as will some men. As a breast cancer survivor serving in Congress, I’m always advocating for federal resources for cancer research. So much progress has been made in battling this disease, with more to come!

It’s a new work day in D.C. for everyone but Republicans, who are still refusing to come to the negotiating table to protect your healthcare. America, you deserve better. I’m fighting to make sure Republicans hear your concerns loud and clear, so that you can keep your care.

Trump is hurting America when he disinvests in science. Those investments have led to a stronger economy and American technological dominance. Trump is risking our nation through his disinvestment and privatization of NASA and our national labs. (3/3)

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

JPL has inspired generations by landing rovers on Mars, advancing our understanding of climate change, and driven technologies we rely on every day, like GPS and medical imaging. (2/3)

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

As Trump announces cuts to @NASA's budget by 24%, JPL had to tragically lay off hundreds of employees. This loss won't just hit our community in LA, but our nation as a whole. (1/3

JPL Hit With Another 550 Layoffs as NASA’s Budget Crisis Deepens

The 11% staffing cut is the fourth round of layoffs at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory since January 2024. And we’re supposed to beat China back to the Moon?

Now we have to stay focused. The ceasefire must hold. Humanitarian aid must keep flowing into Gaza. And we need a real plan to rebuild both the infrastructure and governance of Gaza so that Palestinians and Israelis can share a future rooted in peace and stability.

After two long years, every living hostage is finally free and back where they belong — with their loved ones. I can’t begin to imagine the pain and suffering they’ve endured.

Today, we honor and celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the countless contributions of Indigenous communities in Los Angeles and across our nation. Did you know that my district has one of the most significant collections of Indigenous art right here in the Autry Museum?

Trump has no plans to actually lower grocery prices. It’s just been one horrible policy decision after another, resulting in families going hungry and overstretched local food banks.

Grocery prices rise at the fastest pace since 2022 as Trump tariffs bite

On the campaign trail, Trump promised lower grocery prices.

California knows all too well the devastation of offshore oil spills — poisoned waters, dead wildlife, ruined communities. Yet the Trump Administration is recklessly moving to restart drilling near Santa Barbara, putting our coast and economy at risk all over again.

Lawmakers press federal regulators over disputed offshore oil restart off Santa Barbara coast

California lawmakers are pressing federal regulators for answers about an offshore oil field off the Santa Barbara Coast. Federal agencies say oil production has resumed, but state regulators and environmental groups dispute that claim, warning it can’t legally operate without approval from state agencies.

Day 9 of the Republican Shutdown, and Speaker Johnson just canceled next week's votes. While they’re on vacation, millions of Americans are left wondering if they’ll be able to afford healthcare. I’m heading to D.C. next week to work. House Republicans should too.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govOct 9(source)

Another town hall in the books! Thanks to East Valley Indivisibles for hosting. It was great answering questions directly from LA families with Rep. Brad Sherman. This is exactly what democracy looks and sounds like.
