“People can’t afford rent. Other people, particularly young families, feel that owning a home is completely out of reach for them—not just now, but at any point.” @friedman.house.gov on her effort to eliminate unnecessary reviews that delay affordable housing projects and drive up costs.

“You want housing to be right near that transit so that people who are commuting can actually walk to the train and get where they need to go.” @friedman.house.gov discusses the BUILD Hubs Act and her effort to make federal transit-oriented development programs more effective.

When studios merge, we hear a lot about "efficiencies." What that could mean: lost jobs, fewer productions, empty soundstages, and higher prices. And it's not just people behind the camera. The coffee shops, the caterers, the dry cleaners, and so many other businesses, feel it too.
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 14(source)
A deal this size, in an industry that’s already lost thousands of California jobs, could mean less consumer choice, higher prices, & fewer opportunities for Americans workers. (2/3)
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 14(source)
The Trump Administration has defanged our federal regulators. That’s why Attorneys General like AG @robbonta.bsky.social have to step in to give this mega-merger the scrutiny it deserves. (1/3)
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 13(source)
Simultaneously they are canceling clean and affordable energy projects. Their giveaways to big oil are expensive and catastrophic for our beaches. I’ll keep fighting this Administration’s stupid moves every day. Watch me holding them accountable above ☝️(2/2)
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 13(source)
How much will this Administration’s carelessness cost Americans? I demanded an answer from Trump’s Energy Secretary. Republicans want to restart a dangerously leaky oil pipeline off the coast of California – one that has already caused an environmental disaster. (1/2)
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 11(source)
Trump isn’t building an economy that works for all Americans – he’s just building an economy that works for him. @housedemocrats.bsky.social and I are united in unrigging our unfair system and dismantling this administration’s web of corruption.
Trump’s income topped $2 billion in 2025, boosted by crypto, coin ventures
Almost 1,000 pages of financial disclosure forms show that the president’s earnings far outpaced his $600 million total income in 2024.

In LA, we know how important it is to be prepared for the worst. I got to learn from Hal Frank and Jaden from Boy Scout Troop 55 just exactly how important amateur radio is when disasters strike. Take a listen to these pros and learn things you never knew about ham radio!:

I had a wonderful time speaking to the dedicated radio club members, and to the Scouts learning to operate the different systems. This was a great reminder about why I'm a cosponsor of the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act.
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 10(source)
Local radio clubs aren’t just for hobbyists. Every year, these clubs get together, joined by law enforcement and fire departments, to showcase ways that radio communication technology helps save lives when disaster strikes.

We literally just passed the most impactful housing affordability bill in decades - AND worked with Congressional Republicans on it - but this is what your boss thinks of it:
Rep. Laura Friedman@friedman.house.govJul 9(source)
I sat down with my Housing Advisory Committee to talk about how this kind of crisis requires commonsense policies like the kind I’ve been pushing for ever since I got to Congress.
