Exclusive: Trump on rising gas prices during Iran operation: 'If they rise, they rise' President Donald Trump said on Thursday he was not concerned about rising U.S. gas prices driven by the widening Iran conflict, telling Reuters ​in an exclusive interview that the U.S. military operation was his priority.

Trump wringing his hands over the consequences of his actions, as always.

He has no plan to lower prices nor does he care how it affects your pocketbooks, because he expects all of us to make sacrifices for his careless war in Iran.

This community center is the result of the hard work and generosity of so many community members. This success shows that Los Angeles values our wonderful trans family and friends. (2/2)

@translatinacoalition.org broke ground for their new community space – right in the heart of my district. I was so proud to stand with our trans community and celebrate this incredible moment. (1/2)

Instead, Trump’s recklessness is costing Americans at gas pumps and grocery stores every day. (2/2)

Director Kash Patel gutted the elite FBI counterintelligence team tasked with protecting the US from foreign espionage and threats from Iran.

If that professional team was still around they could have warned against going into Iran with no plan and no exit strategy. (1/2)

In Congress, I’m continuing my work to prioritize and protect our community from the impacts of climate change.

As Los Angeles experiences intense heat and extreme weather, it was good to be at ClimateResolve's event alongside climate champions and brave local leaders working to advance climate resilience in our region.

California lawmaker introduces bill to help prevent, de-escalate police chases with new technology Congresswoman Laura Friedman introduced the Next Gen Road Safety Act aimed at helping law enforcement purchase modern tools to de-escalate chases.

When someone tries to speed to evade police, they put everyone in harm’s way.

My new, bipartisan Next Gen Road Safety Act will give our law enforcement the resources they need to keep you and our community safe.

House Republicans are trying to ram-through a rewrite of our nation's spy powers, including warrantless data collection on US citizens. They dropped the text at 11pm and will vote at 3am. No vetting. No public input. About spying on Americans.

I'm a NO.

Just voted YES on the War Powers Resolution to end Trump's unfettered ability to wage war in Iran.

It failed by one vote.

One. Vote.

Last time, the margin was worse.

We're gaining ground and we'll keep at it until Congress does its job and upholds the Constitution.

We’re coming up on the 250th anniversary of our nation -- 250 years of democracy. It’s up to all of us to preserve the bedrock of our Democracy – our right to vote. (2/2)

I joined my Democratic colleagues and dedicated election experts in LA last week, where we discussed the plan to defend our elections against federal meddling and attacks like the so-called SAVE Act. (1/2)

California lawmaker pushes federal grants for safer police chases A California legislator hopes to help police departments statewide to buy new technology she believes would make police chases less dangerous.

Whether you’re in LA, the Bay, or anywhere in between, you’ll know that reckless high-speed car chases aren’t limited to any particular area. This is an issue that doesn’t care where you live. My Next Gen Road Safety Act is a bipartisan solution to this dangerous problem. Read more about it here:

May their memories be a blessing and a reminder that we all have a responsibility to condemn hate and antisemitism to ensure it never happens again. (2/2)

Today, at sunset, we begin Yom HaShoah. During this time, we remember the horrors of the Holocaust and the 11 million people murdered at the hands of the evil Nazi regime, including 6 million Jews. (1/2)

Yesterday, I spoke at the Holocaust Museum of LA’s Yom HaShoah ceremony alongside survivors who lived through the Holocaust.

I talked about what’s happening now, with antisemitism rising, synagogues being defaced (including my own), and why exactly “never again” cannot just be words.

Reps Swalwell & Gonzales’s predatory behaviors towards their staff are clear abuses of power & betrayals of the public’s trust. Both have credible, undenied and deeply disturbing allegations against them and both should be expelled.

I've worked in too many places — Hollywood, the Legislature, and Congress — to stay silent while people in power take advantage of their staff.

Now imagine how many more shows and movies we could make right here in America if we had something like that at a national level. I’m fighting to make that dream a reality with a new national film tax credit. (2/2)

I am proud to represent one of the largest Armenian-American communities in the nation and I will not stop fighting till Azerbaijan:

— Releases all Armenian POWs

— Guarantees the right of return for displaced Armenians

— Stops destroying Armenian cultural and religious heritage sites. (2/2)

Today, I'm remembering the anti-Armenian pogroms in Sumgait, Baku, and Maragha. These weren't isolated incidents — they were state-sanctioned violence that laid the groundwork for the ethnic cleansing of more than 150,000 Armenians from Artsakh in 2023. (1/2)

Day of Silence. Stand with LGBTQI+ students.

Today, our members join students around the country in observing Glisten's #DayOfSilence to protest anti-LGBTQI+ harassment, discrimination, & violence in schools.

Every student should be free to learn in a safe, affirming environment—and that's exactly what we're fighting for.

Thank you to all those that have submitted, and best of luck to all of our students.
