I don't care how rich or powerful they are; I won't back down from a fight if it means doing the right thing for this country's working families. https://t.co/8iftVzSR7h — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Like I said I would, today I sent a letter to Jamie Dimon calling him out for this deceptive and anti-consumer policy. As I write in the letter: "Accountability is an essential element of a functional economy, and JPMC is attempting to evade responsibility in our court system." https://t.co/YY3CxndhG6 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Today I pause to remember the 49 innocent lives lost at Pulse Nightclub three years ago, the many more injured, and the loved ones left behind. It's a tragic reminder of the work that remains to prevent gun violence and protect LGBTQ Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Update: @jpmorgan will NOT close your account if you reject the arbitration agreement they’re attempting to force onto their customers. Do so before August 10th! https://t.co/ssJaG9YQIC — PolitiTweet.org

I had the privilege of presiding over the House today. Every day I'm in Washington, whether I'm voting to pass legislation #ForThePeople, asking tough questions in hearings, or sitting in the Speaker's chair, I'm always thinking of #CA45 families. It's an honor to represent you. https://t.co/97o2P3rSgP — PolitiTweet.org

Tired: the same exact kinds of excuses that we heard from mortgage servicers in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis Wired: @brandicarlile's The Joke — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I testified at a hearing in 2008 during the subprime mortgage crisis. What I heard then from mortgage servicer Countrywide sounds a lot like student loan servicers today. To say it in a way everyone can understand: "I already have Netflix. I don't need another crappy reboot." https://t.co/OmCaUPOc0H — PolitiTweet.org

If you agree that mental health should be covered like any other type of healthcare, I hope you’ll join @DonaldNorcross and @RepGusBilirakis in supporting H.R. 3165 and getting this bipartisan bill across the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

H.R. 3165 has 3 main parts: ✅ plans & insurers must conduct in-depth reviews for compliance with law ✅ gov’t officials directed to request these reviews if there are patient complaints ✅ 50 plans & insurers selected at random for annual compliance investigation — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

However, more than a decade later, we’re seeing that health plans and insurers are still violating the law with plans that do not provide equal coverage for mental and medical care. That’s not right, so I introduced a bill to improve enforcement of the existing law. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

It used to be that health plans and insurers could restrict coverage for mental health more than other medical care, so Congress passed the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act in 2008 to right this wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Yesterday, I introduced H.R. 3165, the Mental Health Parity Compliance Act, a bipartisan bill to enforce requirements that health plans and insurers treat mental health services the same as any other type of medical care. (THREAD) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Happy to announce that the House passed a new version of this bill today without the harmful anti-taxpayer provision. It doesn’t matter who I need to take on—the President, corporate special interests, or Democratic leadership—I will always put Orange County families first. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Moms who work full-time are only paid 69¢ on average for every $1 paid to dads. For moms of color, the gap is even larger. As a single working mom, I was proud to join House colleagues and pass the #PaycheckFairnessAct; the Senate must do the same. #MomsEqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

FACT: Women cannot have social and economic equality without bodily autonomy. No matter who it is, every woman should have the right to make healthcare decisions for herself. https://t.co/5wd2BaPz5x — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

One of our Orange County values is keeping our community safe. That's why I've supported commonsense legislation to prevent gun violence, like #HR8 and #HR1112, and authored an amendment to study the dangerous interaction between firearms and domestic violence. #WearOrange — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As I mention in the piece, I sent Secretary Carson a letter today about the ongoing problems at FHA and suggesting solutions that would spare thousands of families from the suffering created by foreclosures. Read the full letter >> https://t.co/GEmTQ28zxX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Two weeks ago, Ben Carson said I "didn't know what I was talking about" on housing. This week, he said I played "gotcha" instead of talking about "big policy issues." So I wrote a piece about the ways he's failed to help working families in his 2+ years at HUD. Check it out 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Ben Carson has failed this country's working families. As I write in @NBCNewsTHINK, "[I]n his over two years as HUD secretary, Carson has failed to show a genuine commitment to assisting families on the brink." Read my full thoughts on @SecretaryCarson >> https://t.co/7XqxdtnqU4 — PolitiTweet.org

Excited to join @billmaher tomorrow! Will you be tuning in? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

TurboTax was trying to scam taxpayers out of free tax filing. Democrats and Republicans were going to pass legislation protecting them, but a small group of us stood up to both parties and said NO. Glad this giveaway bill is dead. https://t.co/m9ptdOiDVN — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

And next time you send something to my office, start by sending me answers for the American people, not cookies. This is not a joke for the families losing their homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I want to talk about big policy issues too, Mr. Secretary. Let’s start by discussing how homes backed by an agency in your department (@FHAgov) are being forced into unnecessary foreclosure proceedings. — PolitiTweet.org

Big Pharma shuts down lifesaving research when it’s not good for their bottom-line. This is why public funding for research matters. Happy to have secured a $350 million increase in Alzheimer’s research in this year’s government funding bill. https://t.co/SeWVPiOHTU — PolitiTweet.org

.@CFPBDirector Keep the calculator. Use it to do your homework. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Also: I will be in touch with Mr. Dimon on the legality of Chase closing the accounts of individuals who reject the arbitration clause. I’ll keep you updated. — PolitiTweet.org
