Our bill, the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act, would lower gas prices by making predatory price hikes unlawful, holding market manipulators accountable, and boosting transparency in the market. The House passed my bill. Families need the Senate to do the same. (7/7) — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
The oil gas industry shows why capitalism needs guardrails to work: Big Oil is purposefully limiting supply of an essential good to enrich shareholders. Today, the House took action and approved my and @RepKimSchrier's bill to crack down on this price gouging. (6/7) — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
REMINDER: Big Oil is sitting on 9,000 unused drilling permits on ~14 million acres of public land. I confronted the CEOs of @bp_plc, @exxonmobil, @Shell, and @Chevron about this hoarding. They all said they still want more taxpayer-owned land. (5/7) https://t.co/g0GLU4Xjix — PolitiTweet.org

What was in my minivan's trunk yesterday? 479 pounds of rice. Each grain represents one acre of federal land that… https://t.co/l0ccpu94wn
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
The CEO of @exxonmobil touted on a recent earnings call that their goal "is less about volume and volume targets [supply] and more about the quality and profitability of the barrels." The scheme is working: the oil giant doubled its quarterly profits from a year earlier. (4/7) — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
We have quantitative and qualitative data documenting Big Oil's price gouging. The CEO of @PXDtweets, which has pledged not to raise production despite sky high prices, bragged that "whether it's $150 oil, $200 oil, or $100 oil, we're not going to change our growth plans." (3/7) — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
A majority of surveyed executives admit to not increasing supply because Wall Street doesn't want them to. Profits are at a 7 year high and shareholders don't want to give that up—especially since Big Oil is planning $40 billion in stock buybacks. (2/7) https://t.co/YQlZB2eYIx — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Price gouging is anti-capitalist. Big Oil is threatening our entire economy by keeping supply low and jacking up prices at the pump far beyond the inflation rate to satisfy Wall Street. Oil and gas company executives are *literally* admitting it. (THREAD ⬇️) https://t.co/HosywUxU8Y — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Big Oil is publicly bragging about keeping supply low to juice profits. This textbook price gouging is hurting families and threatening our entire economy. I'm grateful the House will consider my and @RepKimSchrier's bill to hold Big Oil accountable today. https://t.co/APOwV9O9KE — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Too many communities, including ours in Orange County, know the pain of gun violence. It's unacceptable that online gun marketplaces can freely sell weapons to criminals. Today, @RepJasonCrow and I introduced a bill to close the loophole that lets retailers escape accountability. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Quid pro quo is the clearest form of corruption there is. Officials shouldn't be let off the hook just because they've left office. https://t.co/SD94BhXU1h — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. Fish and Wildlife refused to allow construction near an endangered river—until the Trump Administration intervened following $241,600 in campaign donations from a developer and his friends. Led by @RepRaulGrijalva and me, @NRDems has made a criminal referral for bribery. https://t.co/dhz4xCmLPo — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. John Cheng undoubtedly saved lives when he charged a shooter at his mother's church this past Sunday. Today, I joined my Orange County colleagues for a moment of silence on the House floor to honor Dr. Cheng's life, legacy, and sacrifice. https://t.co/4amqEeFt9G — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Our country is confronting an opioid epidemic, a gun violence epidemic, and a humanitarian crisis at our southern border—all at the same time. I'm urging @HouseBudgetDems to provide our law enforcement agencies and key organizations with the tools they need to keep people safe. https://t.co/sJT9LjdVEN — PolitiTweet.org

Orange County is in mourning. Today, I visited Geneva Presbyterian Church to lay flowers in honor of Dr. John Cheng, a true hero whose sacrifice saved lives, and to show respect for all who are suffering because of yesterday's horrific act of violence. https://t.co/KubqYU5yjs — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
A shooting at a church in Laguna Woods has left multiple people injured. This is upsetting and disturbing news, especially less than a day after a mass shooting in Buffalo. This should not be our new normal. I will work hard to support the victims and their families. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Scams against older Americans—especially those involving Medicare—are rising, so I'm urging leadership to bolster the Senior Medicare Patrol program. I'm also looking forward to my Facebook Live on May 25th on how to stay safe from scams. More to come! #SeniorFraudAwarenessDay https://t.co/zRYZTTupFT — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Corporations and the ultra-wealthy are not paying their fair share in taxes, and that's forcing the rest of us to pick up the tab. My colleagues and I are urging House leadership to give the IRS the resources it needs to enforce existing law and crack down on wealthy tax cheats. https://t.co/amyoXQYxGd — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
The ultra-wealthy can cheat our tax code because lobbyists successfully pushed to strip the IRS of the resources it needs to compete with big wig lawyers and accountants. We need to stand up to special interests and fund the IRS—an investment that'll return $5 for every $1 spent. https://t.co/gBrGJQTNlq — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
As a former professor and co-chair of the College Affordability caucus, I know how important it is to support students. I also introduced bills to improve oversight of fraudulent for-profit colleges and to boost accountability for schools with high rates of graduates who default. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
In 2018, the Trump Administration closed the @CFPB's Office of Students and Younger Consumers, in turn significantly undermining the top government official in charge of protecting student borrowers. @RepBonamici and I just introduced a bill to re-empower this critical watchdog. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Our economy can’t be globally competitive if students have to choose between furthering their education and lifelong financial stress. Today, I introduced a slate of bills to better protect student loan borrowers from predatory lenders, scams, and for-profit universities. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Federal firefighters are leaving their jobs due to low pay, and officials estimate some areas in the West could be 75% understaffed this year. I'm co-leading a bipartisan, bicameral push to urge the Administration to keep communities safe by boosting firefighter pay and benefits. https://t.co/cGUYExX08N — PolitiTweet.org

New from @RepRaulGrijalva and me: After a real estate developer and his friends made $241,600 in campaign donations, the Trump Administration overruled local environmental experts to green light a development near an endangered river. We're making a criminal referral for bribery. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
We need to lower costs for families. That'll require stronger antitrust laws and improved enforcement of laws already on the books. I'm backing several bills to do just that, and I will keep pushing until Americans get relief from Wall Street's greed at the grocery store. (5/5) — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Four companies control 82% of American beef-packing. Three companies control 83% of cereal. Four companies control 80% of soybean processing. Healthy capitalist markets—especially those involving essential goods like food—depend on competition. Without it, prices go up. (4/5) — PolitiTweet.org
