WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement announcing that Venice Family Clinic, a leading community health center in Los Angeles, will receive a $3,748,135 grant through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for the Early Head Start Program.

WASHINGTON — One way to get Congress to support regulating artificial intelligence is by using it to write a resolution calling for just that.
At least, that's what Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., hopes. He's introducing a nonbinding measure Thursday that would direct the House to take a look at artificial intelligence, a bill that was written entirely by the online AI chatbot ChatGPT.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) complained that the U.S. military didn't do enough to snatch the suspected Chinese spy balloon from the sky instead of shooting it down.
The Friendship Foundation has received a financial boost — courtesy of Rep. Ted Lieu.
Lieu presented the 16-year-old organization — which promotes friendship between youth who are neurodivergent and their peers who volunteer their time, among other initiatives — with a $1 million check on Thursday, Feb. 16, at Mira Costa High School.
Mira Costa was the site of the foundation's first Friendship Club.
Since then, Friendship Clubs have expanded to 52 schools in Los Angeles County, as well as Bakersfield, and the states of Alabama, Arizona and Georgia.
