Popsicles, airfare, and strawberries – nothing is safe from the rise in prices caused by Trump and Congressional Republicans’ recklessness. House Democrats don’t think Americans should be experiencing summertime blues, and we’re working to help families enjoy – and afford – their summers.

Infographic showing cost increases: Ice pops 22.3%, Airfare 26%, Strawberries 19.8%.

This administration doesn’t care about actually fighting fraud. Because if they did, they’d work with California, not punish innocent children and seniors. (2/2)

Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 29(source)

$2,000,000,000. That’s how much victim repayment money Trump stole from fraud victims when he pardoned his fraudster friends. One of the thieves he pardoned was convicted in 2019 of a $1.3 billion Medicare and Medicaid fraud scheme, and the list goes on and on. (1/2)

I recently signed a discharge petition to force Congress to vote on the bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act, which will finally give Dreamers a pathway to citizenship. Enough of Trump’s cruel policies. Let’s get meaningful immigration reform passed now.

Activists hold signs saying 'Dignity! Life without fear' and 'We're not done dreaming' with 'SIGNED' in bold.

I’m leading the charge against this assault on free speech. Read more about my efforts above ⤴️

Trump’s FCC went after one of our local stations: ABC7. This lawless administration wants to dictate what you can see on local TV, and they are violating the 1st Amendment to attack ABC7 just because they don’t like their coverage of Trump.

California Democrats blast FCC in KABC, KGO license reviews

Walt Disney Co.-owned TV stations risk losing their licenses, part of an effort by FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to challenge media outlets that President Trump views as foes

I raised these issues with the White House’s Science & Tech advisor to ensure this administration works with me to protect irreplaceable human talent. (2/2)

In Hollywood, AI is changing the landscape, threatening the livelihoods of writers, craftspeople, artists, and more. If we don’t enact guardrails like the NO FAKES Act, we risk the amazing, original, human-created content that makes film and television so special. (1/2)

In Congress, I’m committed to ensuring all of my constituents get the support they deserve. (2/2)

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

Today, I’m celebrating the 36th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. There is still so much work to ensure that all people, regardless of their abilities, are treated equally under the law. (1/2)

As a member of the Congressional Museum Caucus and a representative of many museums in my own district, I’m proud to support these centers of art and culture that allow Americans to explore and think deeply about the world around them.

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

I can say that fans of genre literature, art and popular culture are in for a treat when the doors open this September!

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

You WILL in fact find the droids you’re looking for, along with so many cool pieces of art that tell stories old and new. I got an early look at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, and while I can’t reveal much…

The Paramount and Warner Bros merger is officially on hold. The merger will not move forward until June 1, 2027 OR until the courts provide a ruling on the lawsuits facing the merger.

It’s un-American & despicable.

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

This is corruption. It’s how this administration has acted since day one: punishing states, businesses and ordinary Americans who push back on Trump. It’s a major betrayal of our nation that will lead to higher energy prices and should be condemned by people of all political parties.

Change is overdue. That’s why I’m proud to champion the Raise the Wage Act, which would raise the federal minimum wage and allow more Americans to afford to live with dignity and security.

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

$7.25 an hour today buys less than $5 did back then. This is basic math. Full time jobs should cover rent, but billionaires (and one trillionaire) keep making life more expensive.

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

Think about everything that’s changed since then. Groceries and rent have gotten more expensive. Gas, childcare, healthcare — all of it up. EXCEPT for the amount of money a hardworking American brings home.

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

17 years. That’s how long American workers have now gone without a federal minimum wage increase. It's been stuck at $7.25 an hour since 2009 — the longest stretch without an increase since the minimum wage was created in 1938.
