Today, we mark 34 years since the Republic of Armenia declared its independence, a celebration of perseverance and strength in the face of continued threats.
In Congress, I’ll continue to support community-based approaches that help, not harm, our community members in need.
I recently had the chance to visit Fountain House, a local nonprofit that serves individuals with mental illnesses. Their approach allows individuals to access assistance in a supportive environment.
I’m focused on a National Film Tax Credit to make sure we have a thriving Hollywood for these students to work in after they graduate.
It was an honor to tour Mount Saint Mary's University Hollywood Campus and get the all-access pass to their impressive Film, Media, and Communications department. They’re preparing Hollywood’s next camera operators & scriptwriters.
Trump is trying to silence dissent. Late night is provocative — that’s the point. The FCC has no business threatening broadcasters for airing criticism of the President. It’s counter to everything our nation stands for.
My take about @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social being yanked off air:
If you’re currently experiencing issues or delays with your disability benefits, my Constituent Services team can help – just call (818) 524-4384. We’ll be there for you.
More red tape for Americans with disabilities to navigate – more bureaucracy and barriers to receiving benefits. This is the Trump administration’s plan to make it harder for Americans to get what they deserve.
LA STEM Collective’s Executive Director Jamecca Marshall is a part of my education advisory committee, and I’m glad to have her insights as I fight for more educational opportunities for our children.
Recently, Team Friedman was proud to recognize LA STEM Collective at an event that brought STEM organizations, youth leaders, and community leaders together to make STEM education accessible to all.
Americans who are victims of disasters deserve speedy and unconditional aid.
Anything less is a dereliction of duty and a failure for Americans.
Just went on The Bulwark Goes to Hollywood to talk about the pain Angelenos are feeling because of runaway production, and how I plan to bring back production through a national film tax credit.
Take a listen on your next morning commute!:
My office is bringing Mobile Office Hours to Echo Park on September 16th.
Stop by the Edendale Branch Library anytime between 12 – 3 pm to get help with any issue you’re having with a federal agency. Whether you’re dealing with Social Security or the IRS, we’re here to help.
Excited and honored that Mayor Todd Gloria has just announced his support of my Cut Red Tape for Housing Act!
If we want to build housing faster, we need to end unnecessary and overburdensome red tape. Happy to have you in our corner Mayor Todd Gloria.
Joined NBC's Conan Nolan in studio to talk about my new bipartisan legislation — the Cut Red Tape for Housing Act.
To make life more affordable, we need to get serious about building housing faster & cheaper.

I had a blast at the Hospitality Training Academy, chopping in the kitchen and with the academy’s inspiring students.
HTA is a nonprofit that provides culinary training for community members in need, helping them get jobs with union membership and benefits.
I’m fighting against nonstrategic tariffs by sponsoring the Tariff Review Act — returning tariff authority to Congress where it belongs.
It was great to meet with the Smith family behind Bob Smith Toyota, which has served LA for more than 50 years. Pete and Mike Smith shared their concerns about how tariffs are driving up costs for them and their customers.
This friendly small business is a gem in Atwater Village. Under the ownership of Wendi Weger, the business has been a shining example of commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
