Trump doesn’t get to ignore the Constitution. I’m introducing a new amendment to force the President to state clearly that he will faithfully disburse funds authorized by Congress — no exceptions. Any Republican who refuses to support this amendment is complicit in attacking our Constitution.

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

We’ve been saying this, but this time the GOP can’t ignore the facts: their $4.5 billion tax break for the rich REQUIRES cuts to Medicaid & Medicare. I will always be a “HELL NO” on gutting healthcare for hard working families.

Instead of using our taxpayer dollars for Medicaid, Social Security, and Veterans care, Trump is spending those on... cryptocurrencies? His priorities aren’t with families struggling to make ends meet. It’s all a big scam.

Trump creates a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve one day ahead of White House crypto summit | CNN Business

President Donald Trump established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a stockpile of other digital assets through an executive order on Thursday, shortly before hosting a crypto summit at the White House...

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

House Republicans’ funding proposal recklessly eliminates millions of dollars for everything from veterans care to children’s food, education, and healthcare grants. It puts political games over people’s well-being. I will be an ABSOLUTE NO on this attack on our families.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 8(source)

From attacks on reproductive freedom to threats to Social Security, I’ll keep fighting the Musk Administration’s cruel cuts to the critical services our families rely on.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 8(source)

Excited to have been invited to join Californians in Orange County for an important town hall on women’s rights, democracy, and the challenges ahead.

Veteran suicide hotline staff shortages aren’t just ‘mishaps and mistakes,’ Speaker. Try again. Veterans deserve better than a leader who abandons them the moment Trump yanks his leash.

HARF: What do you say to people who work for the VA who can't man the suicide hotline now bc they've been fired? JOHNSON: Look, in Elon's defense, there's no playbook for what he's doing. So as he acknowledged, there are gonna be some mishaps & mistakes. But we will do course correction immediately

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

We need real leadership that lowers costs, puts hardworking people first, and protects programs our children and seniors rely on — not more failed trickle-down economics.

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

Meanwhile, he’s gutting Social Security offices, attacking Medicaid, and making it harder for people to get the services they rely on. His policies aren’t about helping you — they’re about undermining the programs millions depend on.

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

Trump’s speech was exactly what we expected — spin, deflection, and no real solutions. But here’s today's reality: His tariffs are a new 25% tax on hardworking families, driving up prices on everything from food to electricity and making life more expensive for everyday Americans.

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

Together, we're demanding my colleagues stand with disaster survivors in California & across the country by unconditionally delivering life-saving aid.

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

I'm bringing Burbank Fire Fighters President Eric Rowley to the Joint Session of Congress. Just like Eric and his fellow firefighters didn’t hesitate to answer the call, Congress cannot fail to act.

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

We need real solutions lowering costs, protecting Medicaid, and improving lives — not Trump’s cruel trickle-down policies that line the pockets of his billionaire buddies.

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

Tonight, Trump will spin his record but ignore the noise — his new tariffs are a tax on hardworking families, making everyday life more expensive, not better. youtu.be/oDgfmvxGB24

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 3(source)

Today, we celebrate the incredible talent that brings these stories to life — and I’m committed to fighting for the support they need to thrive.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govMar 3(source)

Can’t wait for the #Oscars tonight! As a former producer, I’ve seen firsthand how this industry fuels creativity, drives our economy, and supports hundreds of thousands of jobs in California.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govFeb 25(source)

I was proud to stand in solidarity on the capital steps with House Democrats, who stand united against the GOP’s attack on hardworking people.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govFeb 25(source)

I’m a big fat “hell no” on the Republican Party’s upside-down budget. What is it? A $4.5 trillion tax break for billionaires paid for by cutting Medicaid, SNAP food benefits, veterans programs, Head Start education for kids, & life-saving medical research to pad the wallets of their wealthy donors.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govFeb 21(source)

Aid is a right, not a bargaining chip. Congress must reject this reckless precedent—disaster relief should never be political.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govFeb 21(source)

After Hurricane Ian, Florida got $3.9 billion in federal disaster aid— no strings attached. Why should Californians be treated differently? We power the nation’s economy and are just asking for our tax dollars back.
