I met with members of the LA Chapter of Chamber of Mothers, a nonprofit that advocates for policies that support mothers and families. We talked about how important it is to increase access to affordable childcare and improve maternal outcomes. I thank them for their efforts!

The only thing lazy about this bill is Republicans' lies. They lie about who will be subjected to work requirements, they lie about cutting 14 million people off their health care, and they lie about this being fiscally responsible.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

This isn’t a budget — it’s a blueprint for dismantling democracy and silencing accountability. → Undermines the courts. → Blocks AI oversight. → Rewards gun lobbyists. → Punishes student borrowers. → Attacks reproductive health. → Empowers political retaliation. (8/8)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

Trump could strip nonprofits of tax-exempt status if he personally claims they support terrorism. That’s not policy — it’s political retaliation. And it threatens charities, humanitarian orgs, even dissent itself. (7/8)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

Attacks on reproductive health — as always. Republicans want to block Medicaid funds from going to Planned Parenthood. That means no federal dollars to Planned Parenthood for cancer screenings, pap tests, and STI treatment — especially in underserved communities. (6/8)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

Student borrowers get punished — again. This bill wipes out flexible repayment plans and replaces them with just two rigid options. And if your school defrauds you or shuts down? The GOP wants to make it harder for you to get relief. Cruel and calculated. (5/8)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

Gun safety? Out the window. The bill eliminates the $200 tax on gun silencers — in place since 1934. Silencers make it harder for law enforcement to locate shooters. There’s zero public safety benefit — just another handout to the NRA. (4/8)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

A 10-year ban on regulating AI. But what does that mean? It means existing state protections, like California’s new law requiring transparency when AI is used to deny healthcare, become illegal. This isn’t about innovation — it’s about letting corporations deny care & dodge accountability. (3/8)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

First up: One of the most dangerous provisions. This bill strips courts of the power to enforce laws. Section 70302 of their budget bill would make it nearly impossible for courts to hold people in contempt — just as Trump keeps defying the court. (2/8)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

🧵🚨Republicans are trying to jam through their budget in the dead of night — because they don’t want the public to see what’s in it. This bill isn’t just about cuts to Medicaid or tax breaks for billionaires — it’s packed with giveaways for donors and attacks on hardworking Americans. (1/8)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

Members of Congress have a legal right — and a responsibility — to conduct oversight, whether that means questioning Cabinet officials or visiting ICE detention facilities. Rep. McIver was doing her job — upholding the law, demanding accountability, and defending the rights of people in custody.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

The targeting of Rep. LaMonica McIver is a blatant and dangerous attempt to intimidate Members of Congress and block us from performing our constitutional duties.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

Clean drinking water isn’t a luxury. It is a necessity. I’ll never stop fighting to make sure that our families and children have access to clean & safe water.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

Insane. At the same time Republicans are trying to get rid of fluoride, which makes our teeth healthier, they’re moving to weaken restrictions on "forever chemicals” in our drinking water.

The Associated Press

Open post ↗

The EPA says it plans to weaken limits on some so-called forever chemicals in drinking water, while maintaining standards on two common types.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 20(source)

Republicans attack AOC for looking at the camera, to her constituents — while they are busy pushing Medicaid cuts that could leave 10 million uninsured. @aoc.bsky.social was right — Americans deserve to see the truth.

AOC’s 3 a.m. comment over miscarriages sparks fiery exchange with GOP male counterparts

Members of the Energy and Commerce Committee are engaging in a highly emotional debate over the future of Medicaid.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 19(source)

Now the GOP is proposing massive cuts to SNAP, all so they can give every last cent to their billionaire friends. It is quite literally robbing food from struggling families to line the pockets of the rich.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 19(source)

SNAP benefits help families put food on the table. It has been instrumental in making sure more than 14 million children don’t go hungry.

This isn’t about budgeting. It’s about power. And it’s about protecting Trump from the rule of law. I’ll be voting against this bill — and speaking out against any attempt to weaken our courts.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 19(source)

The result: 1⃣ Judges would lose one of their only tools to make sure the law is followed. 2⃣ Agencies could be dismantled in violation of court rulings. 3⃣ Trump could keep defying the courts — with no consequences.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMay 19(source)

Courts routinely waive that bond — especially in public interest cases or when the government is the defendant. This clause would block enforcement in cases where a judge already ruled and didn’t require a bond. Even permanent injunctions could become meaningless.
