This deal will have a huge impact on jobs, our local economy and on consumers, and regulators should take all of this into account moving forward.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 12(source)

It’s not a surprise that this merger was fast-tracked by the Trump Administration for approval. I’ll keep fighting to make sure the deal gets close and independent review and that antitrust laws are followed.

Provision around taxing private jets sparks partisan brawl in Congress

The House-passed bill would stop states from tapping flight data to help enforce taxes on private aircraft.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 10(source)

I’ve been working hard to pass legislation like my Don’t Penalize Victims Act, which will cut red tape at FEMA and ensure disaster victims are not penalized for receiving donations from their community. (2/2)

‘Holding our breath’: Hurricane season is here, and FEMA is shorthanded

The agency’s workforce has shrunk by almost 20 percent under President Donald Trump.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 10(source)

We’re headed into fire season here in California too, and LA knows the importance of speedy emergency response. I won’t just sit around hoping the Trump administration comes to its senses. (1/2)

Democrats were able to stop Congressional Republicans from making American taxpayers foot the bill for this gaudy vanity project, but it’s clear the entire thing is illegal...and tacky. I joined my colleagues in federal court to put an end to this ridiculous waste of our nation’s time & resources.

A political campaign image with text supporting Rep. Friedman in taking action against Trump's project. Features a serious and advocacy-driven tone.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 9(source)

Instead of working with Democrats to lower costs for the American people, House Republicans have chosen to give a massive blank check to ICE. I voted “NO” because ICE should not be allowed to continue illegally terrorizing our communities and making us less safe.

A political ad highlighting opposition to extensive ICE funding by the GOP. The ad uses a mock check to emphasize its message with a critical tone.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 9(source)

I’m cosponsoring the No Taxpayer-Funded Settlement Slush Fund Act to protect public funds and prevent Trump from paying-off his lawbreaking loyalists. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 9(source)

January 6th attackers and Trump’s cronies shouldn’t be able to use your hard-earned taxpayer dollars to get rich while you struggle to pay rent and put food on the table. (1/2)

The image features a chaotic protest scene with a focus on police and protesters engaging. Prominent text promotes a legislative act by Rep. Friedman against taxpayer-funded settlements.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 9(source)

I am committed to reversing these impacts and secure a future where families can afford to put food on the table. (2/2)

Stricter CalFresh work rules take effect as federal SNAP changes begin

Stricter CalFresh program rules are going into effect Monday as changes to the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) roll out. The new work requirement-related changes, which are part of the Trump administration’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” could impact hundreds of thousands of people across Southern California, including about 260,000 Los Angeles County residents.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 9(source)

210,000 people in LA County are expected to lose nutrition assistance starting this month thanks to legislation passed by Trump and Congressional Republicans. This is support that keeps families and children fed. (1/2)

Thanks to Trump's disastrous policies, Americans are having to cancel their vacations because they’re now simply too expensive. I’m working overtime to lower prices across the board. American families work too hard to have their summer plans scrapped to pay for Trump’s grifts and wars of choice.

Graphic shows a 20% increase in airfare prices and a 25% decrease in international bookings, highlighting summer travel trends.

I’m a proud co-sponsor of the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act, which will eliminate the waiting periods for care for SSDI and Medicare recipients with metastatic breast cancer. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 7(source)

ICE continues to make our neighborhoods less safe, and they’re inspiring dangerous impersonators who are praying on our residents. It is beyond time to get ICE out of LA. Read more on my thoughts here:

A Noticias Telemundo investigation documented a marked increase in cases of people posing as federal agents to rob, intimidate and even injure and rape immigrants.
