Every community should be safe, and every American should be safe in their community. As Deputy Chair of @USProgressives, I know our caucus values justice for all. I will continue working with all my colleagues to advance my bill to better protect people in crisis from violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Today, I proudly joined my House colleagues in voting to reinstate a ban on assault weapons, a key step in our fight for safer communities. However, I'm disappointed that we weren't given an opportunity to vote on other public safety bills, including my Mental Health Justice Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Hate crimes against Asian American and Pacific Islanders were up 177% in California last year. I'm urging Congress to invest in community-based approaches that'll help curb this unacceptable surge in hate. More from a recent video on all my 2023 budget requests 👇 https://t.co/UQNQPzuTqT — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

For 32 years, the #AmericansWithDisabilitiesAct has protected job seekers, helped students thrive, and empowered people to participate in our democracy. I'm pushing to further strengthen the ADA so that all Americans with disabilities have equal protection under the law. https://t.co/edozj3Gvst — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The House just passed a bipartisan bill to boost American manufacturing, lower costs, and strengthen U.S. leadership in the technology of the future. The CHIPS and Science Act, which will make our economy more globally competitive, is headed to the President's desk for signature. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

No one should face long-term financial harm for living their truth. And yet, transgender and nonbinary Americans regularly lose their credit histories after legally changing names. I'm proud @FSCDems just approved @RepPressley's and my bill to better protect these consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Abortion isn't taboo; it's essential health care. Every American should be free to make their own medical decisions. Thanks, @jodihicks, for stopping by and decking my staff and I out with t-shirts that'll help us spread the word that abortion is a freedom issue. https://t.co/WkHGn9IOWp — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The CEO of a major gun manufacturer said he's unwilling to add safety features to his company's guns because "customers are not interested." That puts us all at risk. That's like saying Americans should get to buy faulty appliances even if they'll burn down the house next door. https://t.co/O4e74C3XKo — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Weapons shouldn't have fewer safety features than cell phones. Today, I asked firearm manufacturers why they won't put fingerprint scanners on all their guns, which could prevent up to 40% of accidental deaths. https://t.co/q1p0Mrg5oh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Patients are 3x to 6x more likely to be forced out of network for mental health treatment. My new bill with @SenWarren and @RepCardenas increases oversight of insurance companies that fail to cover mental health and empowers consumers to report violations. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Rather than asking for earmarks, I advocate for broad priorities that are important to Orange County families. I broke down what I'm asking for this year, including resources to better combat hate crimes, protect Americans from toxins in food, and more ⤵️ https://t.co/xb3uW6C7qu — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I stood up to leaders of both parties and opposed earmarks—meaning funding for specific projects in a district—because they invite corruption. Lawmakers running for reelection should not be allowed to divert taxpayer dollars to pet projects at home. https://t.co/E513abTAos — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We need to be backing up our gratitude for veterans with action. I sat down with our office's Veteran and Servicemember Liaison, Sasha, to discuss some of my bipartisan projects that'll help veterans, including my bill to help veteran-owned small businesses get federal contracts. https://t.co/0mpP6DoPgN — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Hate groups, scammers, and partisan interests sent out misleading information on the 2020 census, which caused confusion and undermined public trust in the process. I spoke up during a recent @OversightDems meeting to advocate for legislation that cracks down on such abuse. https://t.co/M1OiaeGi8c — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

California is suffering its worst drought in 1,200 years. I have a bill that would renew a key program to conservation efforts. I’m grateful that Southern CA-based @mwdh2o, the largest wholesale water provider in the U.S., is backing my proposal. Testimony from today ⬇ https://t.co/UMDYkiOjSc — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

After the Great Recession, Congress reined in Wall Street and helped level the playing field for families. The Dodd Frank Act, which was signed into law 12 years ago today, made clear that healthy, capitalist economies need guardrails—for example, the @CFPB! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Extremists have indicated they'll use every trick in the book to prevent Americans from obtaining abortions, including through legal home delivery. My colleagues and I want to know how carriers intend to respect the freedom of Americans who seek abortion medication via mail ⬇️ https://t.co/Q6uil62lDV — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm a firm believer in transparency and accountability in government, so I took some time to break down all my funding requests for next year's budget. Learn more about where I stand and what I'm fighting for ⤵️ https://t.co/wzsLuk5WuW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Corporations lobbied to defund the IRS so the ultra-wealthy could get away with cheating taxes. Families and small businesses are paying the price, with millions waiting months or years for tax refunds because the agency lacks resources. I'm urging Congress to fully fund the IRS. https://t.co/dLI3XXjg1l — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Great news! The House just approved my proposal to digitize important documents veterans need to apply for GI benefits, home loans, health care, and more. I sat down with Sasha, our office's Veteran and Servicemember Liaison, earlier this month to discuss my bipartisan push ⬇ https://t.co/3EgU3NrsTL — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My colleagues and I just voted to enshrine the right to same-sex and interracial marriage into federal law. The Respect for Marriage Act also requires officials to recognize out-of-state marriages regardless of sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin—no matter state law. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm committed to rooting out corruption at all levels of government, including within @DeptofDefense. Last week, members of both parties approved my proposal to beef up the ban on top Pentagon officials owning stock in major defense contractors. https://t.co/aD8Fq4H1lw — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Unchecked climate change will drive up food prices, shrink water supply, and cost the United States billions of dollars in disaster response. It's fiscally irresponsible to delay climate action. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Social Security is a lifeline for millions of families. Congress needs to pass the Social Security 2100 Act, which would prevent upcoming budget cuts, eliminate waiting periods for people with disabilities, and put more money in Americans' pockets. https://t.co/eed0GZemKV — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Con artists are swindling Americans out of millions of dollars each year, in part because law enforcement doesn't have the authority to crack down on robotexting. This week, @CongressmanRaja and I introduced legislation to close the loopholes scammers use to avoid accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My House colleagues and I also once again voted to reinstate the right of every American, regardless of where they live, to decide if and when to have a child. The Women’s Health Protection Act of 2022 would restore the ability to get an abortion nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Today, I voted to defend Americans’ liberty by strengthening protections for patients who travel across state lines to obtain abortions. The bill, which passed the House 223-205, also prohibits retaliation against health care workers who help travelers. #BansOffOurBodies — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We can support our servicemembers without giving handouts to big defense contractors. Some of my colleagues voted to expand the Pentagon's budget beyond what the agency and the President asked for—but I refuse to rubber stamp waste, fraud, and abuse at any level of government. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Extremist politicians shouldn't have the power to force Americans into becoming parents. Abortion is a freedom issue. https://t.co/Web9OKB3OI — PolitiTweet.org
