There’s no better way to spend a weekend than flipping pancakes with the Glendale Fire Department at Fire Service Day. I didn’t get into Congress for my pancake flipping skills – I’ve focused instead on getting the brave men and women of our fire department the resources they need to keep us safe.

I’m fighting for a national film tax credit not just to support production workers, but also for the countless small businesses across the country that depend on productions staying in the U.S. (2/2)

There’s no denying how important the film and television industry is to the American economy. In fact, entertainment is one of our largest exports. (1/2)

We can and should work together to fight fraud, but these punitive cuts do nothing but hurt innocent Californians. (2/2)

Trump officials hit California with ‘largest ever’ freeze on Medicaid funds

The Trump administration suspended $1.1 billion in California Medicaid funds over fraud claims, threatening home care for 900,000 seniors and people with disabilities.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.gov2d ago(source)

Fraud is a scourge and stopping it should be a priority, but what Trump is doing won’t prevent fraud. This is his administration’s way of punishing Californians for standing up to his unpopular agenda. (1/2)

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. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), who serves as the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, the guidance states that “a project as complex and large in scale as Trump’s…

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.gov4d ago(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...

5 dead in attack at San Diego mosque; anti-Islamic writings are found, sources say

I’m cosponsoring the Universal School Meals Program Act because I believe that the wealthiest country on Earth has no excuse for letting its children go without food. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.gov4d ago(source)

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.gov5d ago(source)

This is blatant self-dealing and corruption in plain sight and I urge my colleagues across the aisle to join us in putting a stop to it. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.gov5d ago(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)

Today is National Museum Day! CA-30 is home to some of the best museums in the world, many of which you can visit for free on the 2nd Tuesday of every month. What’s your favorite museum in the district?

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:

My Next Gen Road Safety Act would unlock resources to allow law enforcement officers to keep our roads safe. (2/2)

Police think this contraption can bring high-speed chases to an end

A pursuing vehicle pulls within 5 feet of a motorist, a button is pressed, and a net from the front bumper wraps around the back tires or axle of the fleeing vehicle.

Cutting-edge tools can stop high speed crashes from harming innocent bystanders and drivers, but 94% of police pursuits end, often violently, without police having the opportunity to use safe termination technology. (1/2)
