This week, Congressional Republicans could have spent their time working with us to help Americans afford groceries and pay their rent. Instead, they spent their time advancing a bill meant to demean trans youth. I voted no and urge them to focus on the real needs of Americans.

Good. No taxpayer money should be going towards Trump’s wasteful vanity project. https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5882011-senate-parliamentarian-rejects-trump-white-house-ballroom-funding/
Senate parliamentarian rules against Trump’s White House ballroom funding in budget bill
The Senate parliamentarian late Saturday ruled against a $1 billion provision intended to fund President Trump’s White House ballroom in the budget reconciliation package. According to Sen.

Although the investigation is ongoing, it appears that this was a targeted anti-Islamic hate crime. Our community must come together to reject all forms of violence, hatred and intolerance. Today and all days we stand alongside our Islamic brothers & sisters.
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)
This is heartbreaking. Violence has no place in our society, but is especially heinous when directed at places of worship and where children are present. My thoughts go out to the many victims and their families. May their memories be as a blessing. www.latimes.com/california/l...

While President Trump wastes billions of taxpayer dollars on his war of choice, my fellow Democrats and I are working on a better vision of the future – one where no child goes hungry. (1/2)
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 18(source)
While Americans are dealing with rising costs, Trump just created a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to pay off Jan. 6 rioters & his friends. He sued himself. He settled with himself. With no oversight. And you're paying for it. (1/2)

As long as this Administration attacks free speech, I’ll continue to stand up for our Constitution and a free press. Once again, I led lawmakers, veterans, and free speech activists at a rally in front of ABC Studios against Trump’s weaponization of the FCC. Read more here:

Our firefighters deserve a safe and seismically sound firehouse, and our community needs an emergency command center capable of dealing with modern emergencies. I secured a $500,000 federal investment to make both of those goals a reality for the aging Fire Station 8 in West Hollywood:

From Ameilia Earheart to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, so many trailblazing women have walked through the historic doors of the Ebell of Los Angeles, which I had the chance to tour last week. I’m proud to represent the Ebell in Congress as I fight for more opportunities for women.
