I was there when #ICE immigration agents swarmed outside @governor.ca.gov Newsom’s public event earlier this month — armed, visible and sending a message. This was not security. It was their latest intimidation tactic. (1/2)

Just led @padilla.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and 12 additional members of the California delegation demanding answers from DHS about the massive federal immigration presence during Governor Newsom’s public event on redistricting.

The Cut Red Tape for Housing Act is a serious, bipartisan fix that I’m proud to lead with @RepChuckEdwards — and I’ll keep pushing for more solutions that help us build the housing we need. Let’s get it done.

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

This isn’t about cutting corners — it’s about cutting delays that don’t make housing safer, just slower and more expensive.

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

My bill creates a narrow exemption from federal NEPA review for infill affordable housing developments that meet strict environmental and site criteria. It’s a practical way to remove roadblocks while still protecting what matters.

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

Right now, even affordable housing that is smart infill in cities faces months or years of delay because of outdated federal red tape. That means higher costs, stalled construction, and fewer homes when we need them most.

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

We need to get serious about making housing more affordable and getting it built faster. That’s what my new bipartisan bill — the Cut Red Tape for Housing Act — is all about. 🧵

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

These victims were very clear about the link between our climate crisis and the terrible disaster they faced. I’ll never stop fighting to protect our communities from climate change.

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

Humbled to be able to join the People’s Hearing on Extreme Weather, where I got to hear directly from wildfire victims describing some of their darkest days. This administration can try and deny climate change all it wants, but Californians are feeling the effect of it every day.

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

If ICE and related federal agencies are being used to intimidate us based on policy disagreements, that’s not enforcement — it’s political abuse. We won’t let it go unanswered.

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

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

Investing in STEM programs helps America remain on the technological frontier, & I’m excited to see this grant in action at one of our own colleges!

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

I’ll never stop pushing back on Trump’s cuts to critical transit infrastructure, because our communities depend on these investments.

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

Incredibly excited to convene the 1st meeting of my Transportation, Mobility, & Accessibility Advisory Committee! I shared wins in getting federal commitments to invest in our prep for LA28, millions in grants to local projects, & listened to concerns from our transit & accessibility leaders.

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

It's diabolical and I won’t stop fighting to protect and expand affordable care.

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

The latest numbers from the Congressional Budget Office are even worse. The Republican's Big, Bad Law will kick 10 million hardworking Americans off their healthcare and raise ACA premiums. All to give billionaires a $1 trillion blank check while forcing more Americans into medical debt.

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

I remain committed to seeing that they have access to the Medicaid benefits that allow them to live with dignity.

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

It was a pleasure to visit Ararat Post Acute Facility in Glendale, one of many local skilled nursing facilities across our nation which work tirelessly to take care of our seniors – care that is under threat from Trump’s $1 trillion cut to Medicaid. Our seniors deserve care, not cruelty.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govAug 20(source)

I’ll never stop fighting to ensure that Armenian American history is remembered and passed on.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govAug 20(source)

After helping secure the original land grant for the Armenian American Museum in Glendale in the Assembly, it was great to tour the museum as it takes shape on East Colorado Street. When construction finishes, this museum will be the first of its kind in the U.S.
