57 years ago today, LGBTQ Americans and their allies fought back at Stonewall, ushering in a new dawn for LGBTQ visibility and rights across the country. This year, when those same rights are under attack, let’s pledge to never go back to those dark days.

Black and white protest photos fill the word 'STONEWALL' with '57th Anniversary' in rainbow colors.

I stopped by to recognize them for their decades of bringing joy to CA-30 (and did a little browsing while I was there). (2/2)

As Congress’ unofficial Thrifting and Vintage Ambassador, it’s my privilege to highlight businesses that help upcycle beautiful treasures from yesteryear for today’s generations. Junk for Joy has been doing that for 50 years. (1/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 27(source)

I’m proud to be an early champion of the NO FAKES Act, a bipartisan and bicameral bill that will give Americans a powerful tool to protect themselves from scammers and bad actors using AI. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 27(source)

I represent a community of creators and artists in my district, so I understand exactly how important it is to have control over your own voice and image. With the advancement of AI, we need new laws for new realities. (1/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 26(source)

Let’s keep these fairs going. Comment below where you think I should host my next one. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 26(source)

My second Passport Fair at Pan Pacific Park was a smashing success! Thank you to all those that came, told their friends and family, and got their passport needs taken care of, including thirty kids who got their first-ever passports. (1/2)

Congresswoman Friedman Unveils $1 Million+ Federal Investment to Replace Damaged Burbank Reservoir

Clean and reliable water should be nonnegotiable. That’s why I made it a mission to secure the $1,092,000 Burbank needed to replace a damaged, century-old reservoir that no longer meets the needs of our growing community.

A family now needs about $117,000 a year to afford a typical home — nearly $30,000 more than most households earn. In my district, the median property value is $1.14M. If it gets more expensive for you to rent or own a home this year, you'll know exactly why.

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

The day before, his own Press Secretary called it "one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history." The next day, he decided it was "of minor importance."

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

Instead of signing it, Trump canceled the ceremony and said he won't sign until Congress passes a separate (terrible) voter-ID bill that has nothing to do with housing. A bill that doesn't even have the votes to clear a Senate filibuster.

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

First, it passed the Senate. Then it passed the House 358-32. There is almost nothing this Congress agrees on by that margin. The White House endorsed it, the President scheduled the signing ceremony, and they set up a stage in the Capitol with the presidential seal.

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

Trump just blew up the biggest housing bill in three decades which would have stopped Wall Street firms from buying up single-family homes in bulk, cut permitting red tape, and expanded financing for new construction. 🧵⬇️

There’s another great one on Honolulu. Plus the froyo place is good. Might I suggest a Sunday afternoon frozen dessert crawl?

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

This Administration trusts a person convicted of attacking the Capitol with keeping Americans safe, but not the qualified FBI counterintelligence team that tracked Iranian threats – which they gutted? Americans deserve nonpartisan experts in key security roles, not reality-show hosts and yes-men.

Pentagon hires convicted Jan. 6 rioter for sensitive counterterrorism job

The Trump administration’s appointment of Elias Irizarry, who was 19 at the time of the Capitol attack, has alarmed some in the Defense Department.

Yeniifer Alvarez-Estrada Glick was 29 years old, a newlywed from Texas whose future was taken from her when she was unable to access the abortion care. Her story is a reminder of what is at stake when politicians insert themselves into personal medical decisions. We remember.

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

I do. I want my residents to be able to afford rent or a house. And I will keep working on housing policy until they can.

Trump: "I don't want to drive housing prices down."

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

Amen. These are the things our tax dollars should be used for - not endless foreign wars and Trump’s ballroom & slush fund.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJun 24(source)

The United States and Taiwan have been partners in environmental protection for decades. As a lifelong champion of sustainability, I’m looking forward to many more years of this collaboration between our two countries. Thank you for a wonderful chat, Director General Ma!
