We need to unplug the production of housing adjacent transit so Californians can live affordably & conveniently. Read my op-ed with @RepScottPeters here: https://www.ocregister.com/2025/07/07/we-invested-in-mass-transit-we-should-let-californians-live-near-it/

We invested in mass transit. We should let Californians live near it

California's future depends on fixing this disconnect.

NEW OP-ED: Californians have invested billions into public transit, but current State and local laws limit how many of us can live near high quality transportation hubs.

We invested in mass transit. We should let Californians live near it

California's future depends on fixing this disconnect.

It’s also a warning that AI can carry the biases of its creators, and should be used carefully and within a regulated framework.

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

The X AI chatbot Grok made blatantly antisemitic comments right after @ElonMusk touted that it had been “improved”. This is unacceptable and incredibly alarming. That’s why I joined my colleagues in demanding accountability from X AI. We must not accept this as the new normal for AI.

The Trump Administration is trying to roll back LGBTQ rights; but communities like West Hollywood keep pushing forward. Honored to join APLA Health for the opening of the new Michael Gottlieb Health Center, expanding care where people need it.

APLA opens eighth location in LA County

The WeHo location is named after Dr. Michael Gottlieb, the groundbreaking physician and researcher who in 1981 co-authored the first medical report identifying AIDS

Masked ICE agents. No names. No badges. No accountability. That’s not law enforcement — it’s intimidation. Proud to help lead the No Masks for ICE Act with Rep @NydiaVelazquez to bring transparency back to immigration enforcement. Read more about the bill here:

House Democrats move to ban ICE agents from wearing masks

The new bill comes after concerns around agents covering their faces during immigration enforcement actions.

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

Instead, they’re randomly picking up our neighbors in order to hit an inhumane human quota, while denying them the due process and civil rights protections they’re entitled to by law.

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

Trump & ICE promised to go after dangerous criminals. These profiles of who they’re actually arresting don’t match that promise.

Most nabbed in L.A. raids were men with no criminal conviction, picked up off the street

The Trump administration claimed the sweeps were aimed at criminals, but data shows otherwise.

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

Proud to announce a new $8+ million federal investment for Hollywood Burbank Airport. This is key to easing the burden on local taxpayers while improving safety and supporting local jobs. More wins like this to come.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 10(source)

We don’t make our communities safer when law enforcement hides behind masks. We make all of us safer, & strengthen our democracy, when we have ways of keeping all law enforcement, including ICE, accountable. That’s why I’m a cosponsor on the No Masks for ICE Act. Take a listen on KNX Radio here:

The Supreme Court’s ruling on no-cost preventative healthcare will protect access to these vital services for millions of Americans on ACA. Protecting preventative healthcare saves Americans in the short and long term.

Even when money is restored — like the HIV prevention grants for LA I helped save — it’s often too late. All this chaos has a huge cost.

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

When DOGE & the Trump Admin freezes grant funding, it’s important to note that even if they unfreeze that funding, the damage is done. Public services are disrupted. Programs unravel. People are fired and don’t return. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...

Trump Withholds Nearly $7 Billion for Schools, With Little Explanation

Glad the CDC reversed course and thankful for of the allies that stood with us and the LGBTQ community.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 8(source)

The Trump admin froze HIV prevention investments, cutting off lifesaving care across South LA. I led the fight to get this funding restored because science — not political spite — should drive public health. www.latimes.com/science/stor...

Trump administration restores funds for HIV prevention following outcry

L.A. County received $20 million in HIV prevention funds Thursday, slightly more than last year.

My Constituent Services Team is holding more mobile office hours from 12 – 3 pm on July 10th. If you need help with a federal agency, Social Security, or assistance with your passport, come by and get your questions answered by my wonderful Constituent Services team!

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 7(source)

Armed officers. Mounted weapons. In the middle of Los Angeles at MacArthur Park today. Was the plan to gun people down as they run away from masked agents who refuse to identify themselves? This isn’t border enforcement and it isn’t making our communities safer.
