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.

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

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @friedman.house.gov breaks down the top three things you need to know about the Republicans’ One Big, Ugly Bill — from kicking 17 million off their health care to making life harder for parents, all to fund tax breaks for the ultra-rich.
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.
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.

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

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!
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.
If we don’t have the ability to hold our law enforcement accountable, we can’t keep the public safe.
I know Republicans are seeing the same videos as I of unmasked, unidentifiable agents accosting law-abiding residents at Home Depots and on sidewalks. Regardless of party, anyone who cares about government overreach and accountability should support this bill.

Grant funding for HIV prevention should have NEVER been cut. I’m glad to have led the fight to restore the lifesaving investments local organizations and providers need to treat and protect Los Angelenos.
Learn more about my leadership on this effort:
This bill will address the shortage of mental health professionals by providing scholarships for student psychologists who serve at schools.
We have a youth mental health crisis, and not nearly enough psychologists and mental health professionals to help our young students. That’s why I’m proud to announce that I’m co-leading the Preparing for the Future Act with Rep. Gottheimer.
