Republicans gutted Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood, resulting in five clinics in Northern California shutting down. Essential medical care for 2 million people is at direct risk. I’m responding by leading a bill with 130+ cosponsors to fight back.

Glendale, get ready for mobile office hours! If you or a loved one need help applying for federal benefits you’ve earned or have issues with an agency, come by the Glendale Central Library on July 31 between 11 AM and 2 PM to get assistance from my casework team. We’re here to help.

The U.S. and President Trump must do more to ensure that aid flows freely, hostages are released, and the ceasefire is restored. Too many civilians are suffering, and far too many children are going without food, water, and medical care. Aid must reach those in need without delay.

I’m proud to join @schiff.senate.gov today introducing a bill to rename the Glendale post office after former Secretary of the Navy Paul Ignatius. Paul Ignatius’s remarkable lifetime of service to country & community should be an inspiration to us all.

When flood waters rose in Texas, worried parents & family members reached out to FEMA. Most of their calls went unanswered. FEMA at it’s best has been their before, during, and after horrible disasters. Secretary Noem is running it into the ground – hurting survivors.
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 24(source)
The last federal minimum wage increase was passed 16 years ago today – and it’s clear the American people have gone far too long without a raise. That’s why I’m proud to be a co-sponsor the Raise the Wage Act of 2025, which would increase the minimum wage to $17.
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 23(source)
@Sec_Noem & the Trump administration claim to love “cutting out bureaucracy”, when in fact @Sec_Noem's has left thousands of Americans with nowhere to turn to in their darkest hour. That is not acceptable, and I’m committed to making sure we hold FEMA accountable so it never happens again.

My Mobile Office Hours are coming to Park La Brea tomorrow, July 23rd. Drop by the Activities Center Complex anytime between 12 PM and 3 PM for help with any federal agency, provided by my talented team of caseworkers.

If the @DeptofDefense wants to use Grok, we need more transparency, oversight, & guardrails to ensure that the extremist & unreliable sources it’s using from X don’t undermine our national security.
Jewish Democrats press Pentagon about Grok contract after antisemitic meltdown
In a letter to Defense Secretary Hegseth, the lawmakers warned of ‘the risk to American national defense from using a compromised product subject to the whims of an unaccountable CEO’

That’s why I’m a proud co-sponsor of the SCREENS for Cancer Act of 2025, which will expand breast and cervical cancer screening & treatment for those who lack access to these important services.
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 21(source)
I am a cancer survivor who was fortunate enough to have access to advanced screenings and treatments that helped saved my life. I want to make sure every American has the same access.

What a pleasure it was to meet with interns from the Armenian Assembly of America! They asked great questions about how I came to Congress, and what I’m doing to advocate on behalf of the Armenian American community. Proud to engage with these future community leaders.
