I'm a proud capitalist, and what we're seeing here is a broken market. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is disrupting food supply and corporate monopolies are using that as a cover to price gouge. They're getting away with it because they don't have to compete for consumers. (3/5) — PolitiTweet.org

What I'm telling colleagues and reporters: Food prices are a real pain point for families. People, myself included, are shopping differently, putting back $6.29 boxes of cereal and spending considerable time looking for sandwich bread for under $5. (2/5) https://t.co/VGZbsVw5lI — PolitiTweet.org

In my house, we pay serious and regular attention to the price of bacon. My local store has Oscar Meyer for $6.99/pound. Stocking up! Unlike Washington insiders, who focus on Caucus politics and partisan bickering, my focus is on helping families bring home the bacon. THREAD ⬇️ https://t.co/tbPnfzfoHa — PolitiTweet.org

Megabanks @jpmorgan and @GoldmanSachs are exploiting a loophole to evade our sanctions and profit off the war in Ukraine—in turn helping Russia fund its human rights abuses. @SenWarren and I are demanding answers from the CEOs directly. https://t.co/QXemNemStQ — PolitiTweet.org

Corporate lobbyists shouldn't get to drown out the voices of families in Washington. As Co-Chair of the End Corruption caucus, I will keep pushing to get big money out of politics, protect voting rights, and strengthen our democracy. Thanks, @StopBigMoney, for the recognition! https://t.co/h5ZbxSBcqP — PolitiTweet.org

With the end of Title 42, the Department of Homeland Security and humanitarian organizations need resources to promote a safe, orderly, and lawful asylum process for refugees. I'm calling on House leadership to take urgent action to send help to the border. https://t.co/3ew0fkbtOw — PolitiTweet.org

Canceling a subscription can be harder than finding summertime parking in Newport Beach. I'm glad @FTC is holding corporations accountable for this abuse when it happens. If you're having trouble ending a subscription, report it to https://t.co/3hwnyQaI1O or contact our office. https://t.co/JhgvrXcfd5 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Corporations are hiking prices on food, gas, and other essentials because they don't have to compete for customers. We can lower costs for families by cracking down on monopolies—in the meatpacking industry, soybean industry, energy industry, and more. https://t.co/1WogvrR8be — PolitiTweet.org

Oh, and I also had to hunt down my concealer to cover my dark circles. Oversight revealed that my tween daughter swiped it to "practice makeup." 🙃😪 — PolitiTweet.org

It's 10:30am on #MothersDay. So far, I've been woken up with a poke and asked "what's for breakfast," had a teen slam a door, and shuffled laundry in and out of the washer and dryer. Good morning to everyone except Justice Alito and his lectures about how easy it is to be a mom! — PolitiTweet.org

Detailed data, like precise movements and identifying information, shouldn't be shared with third parties—especially if a user explicitly denies permission. My colleagues and I want @FTC and @FCC to crack down on companies that violate Americans' privacy. https://t.co/yRMve9w1Q3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Few Americans know apps share their sensitive data with third parties, and those who try to opt-out sometimes still have their data sold to the highest bidder anyway. @RepRaskin and I have been pushing @FTC and @FCC to better protect users. https://t.co/NjCgK1G5mY — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We need to stop polluters from exploiting families at the gas pump. Read more about @RepKimSchrier and my legislation, the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act, below ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/AlmLcFHiey — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Oil giant @Shell reported a record $9 billion in quarterly profit—3x its earnings a year earlier. Like @exxonmobil and @Chevron, it plans to use windfall profits to enrich shareholders. I just introduced a bill to crack down on Big Oil's price-gouging. https://t.co/qsF5wmLJ4Y — PolitiTweet.org

David Lin has been separated from his family and our Orange County community since 2006. Unjustly imprisoned in China, he has missed his kids' graduations, his daughter's marriage, and the birth of his grandchild. I'm urging @POTUS to help bring this Orange County father home. https://t.co/K4U68484aB — PolitiTweet.org

Women contribute trillions to our economy. With roughly half of states poised to ban abortion, thousands of workers could be pushed out of the labor force for months, years, or even permanently. Abortion is an economic issue that affects all of us. https://t.co/B8qHK7HkqR — PolitiTweet.org

Mrs. Scofield inspired my son, and she was an incredible partner in my efforts as a parent. During #NationalTeacherAppreciationWeek, my family and I are thinking about Mrs. Scofield and the wonderful educators at @IUSD and @WeAreCTA. #ThankATeacher #WeAreCTA https://t.co/F30pI4pnmW — PolitiTweet.org

Our faith communities help make Orange County a special place to live. I was honored to lead a prayer today at Newport Mesa Irvine Interfaith Council's annual #NationalDayofPrayer breakfast. I spoke about how we are at our strongest when we work together and think of others. https://t.co/katohrYfEG — PolitiTweet.org

From the draft opinion: "[Abortion opponents] note that attitudes about the pregnancy of unmarried women have changed drastically." Not a single justice knows what it's like to be one of the 10+ million single parents in America. I do, and I support a woman's right to choose. — PolitiTweet.org

The IRS wasn't defunded by mistake. Lobbyists pushed to limit the agency's ability to go toe-to-toe with bigwig lawyers and accountants. The ultra-wealthy can now get away with skipping taxes, but families and small businesses can't get the help they need. https://t.co/DxWtjHEXJi — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We need to give the IRS the resources it needs to actually help families and small businesses. During a recent hearing, I pointed out how the agency's relies on 1960s technology and a small number of staff to serve more taxpayers than ever before. https://t.co/Jw3B76D2W2 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

IRS budget cuts are great for corporations and the ultra-wealthy that want to cheat taxes—but they can be detrimental to families and small businesses that need tax refunds. I'm urging leadership to fund the taxpayer services department so more Americans get their money back ⤵️ https://t.co/D2zB1KK1ze — PolitiTweet.org

The Big Oil Windfall Profits Act, which I helped spearhead, would crack down on corporations making record-high profits by overcharging families at the pump. Learn more ⤵️ https://t.co/AeicdICiYP — PolitiTweet.org

Oil and gas giants @exxonmobil and @Chevron can ramp up shareholder returns by $40 billion, but they can't lower prices at the pump by 40¢/gallon to help families 🤔 I'm pushing for legislation that would hold Big Oil accountable for its price gouging. https://t.co/PfMCLs6jYc — PolitiTweet.org
