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.

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)

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. […]

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.

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:

Fake ICE agents terrorize immigrants amid Trump’s crackdown

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.

As Hollywood’s representative in Congress, I’m working to level the played field. Because this signature American industry should stay where it belongs. (2/2)

Actor Jon Voight met with Trump to advocate for Hollywood tax incentives

Actor Jon Voight met with President Donald Trump earlier this year to advocate for a federal ‌tax credit intended to help boost film and TV production in the United States, representatives of the actor said on Monday.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 6(source)

It is encouraging to see more folks talk about a national film tax credit! It has helped to bring production back to California, but we are still losing shoots to foreign competition. (1/2)

From beef and buns to tomatoes and onions, nothing in your burger has been spared from getting more expensive this summer. We have Donald Trump and House Republicans to thank for rising costs. I’m working in Congress to lower prices, because putting on a backyard BBQ shouldn’t be this expensive.

I’m proud to have passed safe gun storage legislation when in the Assembly. In Congress, I’m an original cosponsor of the Office of Gun Violence Prevention Act and a cosponsor of the Assault Weapons Ban. Because maintaining the status quo is not an option.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 5(source)

Every day in America, nearly 130 people are shot and killed. It’s a national nightmare that can and must be addressed through national policy.

Hey VP Vance: if you want to stop fraud, start at the White House. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 4(source)

More than half of the pardons Trump has issued have been for the benefit of his fraudster friends and donors. Nearly $2 billion in restitution that courts have ordered these criminals to pay back to their victims and taxpayers has been cancelled by this President. (1/2)
