Special interests like @Intuit @turbotax spend gobs of money to hire former government officials as lobbyists. They drown out the voices of families and push policies that hurt taxpayers. I'm joining @SenWarren and @BradSherman to call out this corporate abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Tax season ends today, but millions of families still don't have their returns from prior years. We need to give the IRS the resources it needs to get families their money back—and recover the billions in taxes the ultra-wealthy and corporations owe but don't pay each year. — PolitiTweet.org

4. Don’t get too ambitious. Sand is sneaky! I dug deep holes and got a blister, but these are some tired kids. 5. Save some special candy treats that kids can earn for trading in garbage they find while searching for eggs. https://t.co/2TbGSceOkm — PolitiTweet.org

1. No chocolate because it melts. This one I knew! Jelly beans are easy to clean sand from, just in case. As my son Paul pointed out, so are dollar bills 😳😂 2. Make sure your eggs don’t have holes. Close tightly. 3. Count eggs before burying so you leave no plastic behind. — PolitiTweet.org

We had our first family beach egg hunt today. For those inspired to try this for themselves, I have some tips 🤓🧵 #Easter https://t.co/Kjfjh4efpb — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a joyful and healthy #Passover to all who are celebrating! Chag Sameach. — PolitiTweet.org

REMINDER: Admissions to national parks are FREE tomorrow, April 16, to celebrate the start of #NationalParkWeek! Last summer, my family and I visited @ZionNPS through the Every Kid Outdoors program, which lets 4th graders and their families into parks for free year-round. — PolitiTweet.org

We're in the middle of a mental health crisis, including on college campuses. I'm pushing for my bill, the Student Mental Health Rights Act, to better protect students and help them finish their educations. @TyroneCHoward discusses why this is so important ⬇️ https://t.co/1aVp3EtxMj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Health insurance giants steal billions in taxpayer dollars each year by claiming Medicare Advantage patients are sicker than they actually are. We need stronger data transparency to crack down on this corporate abuse. More from a recent Facebook live event with @RepJayapal 👇 https://t.co/lqZIEWPkNW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

It's been nearly a year since @DHSgov released a report on countering domestic violent extremism, but there's little information available on *how* the Department is implementing their findings to keep Americans safe. I'm pressing @SecMayorkas for details ⤵️ https://t.co/nMCL51TKxK — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Special interests lobbied to starve the IRS so the ultra-wealthy could get away with cheating taxes. Families are paying the price: millions are waiting for their 2020 returns, even as the 2021 season winds down. We need to fund the IRS so families finally get their money back. https://t.co/jPExX4p7Tv — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Investments in child care make our economy stronger. My colleagues and I are urging the Biden Administration to make affordable child care a policy priority, which would lower costs for families and keep our workforce globally competitive. https://t.co/z8lJzoVuFC — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Unexpected medical costs are holding Americans back from buying homes, starting small businesses, and more. I have a bill to better protect patients with medical debt from long-term financial harm, and I'm glad the Administration is taking this step. https://t.co/g3DIcXmiKE — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Americans deserve to have confidence their food is safe to eat. @US_FDA has reportedly dragged its feet on a multitude of major concerns, from toxins in the water used to grow produce to heavy metal contamination in baby food. I want answers. https://t.co/qgavfRC123 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Diagnoses skyrocket at age 65 because Americans put off going to the doctor until they're on Medicare. We can save lives and taxpayer dollars by lowering the eligibility age. @RepJayapal and I are also fighting to expand coverage to include dental, vision, and hearing services. https://t.co/8hE0kzu6ng — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

All eligible voters should be able to cast their ballots freely and safely. I'm grateful for the work of former @OCRegistrar Neal Kelley, whose innovations improved the efficiency and reliability of voting in Orange County. I wish him all the best in his retirement. https://t.co/WpNVRGFv6w — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Orange County is littered with "orphaned wells," old oil wells that leak toxins into the air. Few families know they live within a mile of these hazards. The infrastructure law is helping California plug these wells, but we also need to hold Big Oil accountable for their messes. https://t.co/ckckGLRdm6 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Veteran Service Organizations have been a critical resource for veterans, servicemembers, and military families. Today, @RepMikeLevin and I introduced a bill to make it easier for the public servants working at these institutions to have their federal student loans forgiven. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

During the confirmation process and with her record, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson showed that she has the qualifications and experience to serve on the Supreme Court. I join Americans in congratulating her on her confirmation today. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Opioids are ravaging Native American communities, but only 1 in 8 individuals struggling with substance use disorder are able to get treatment. The U.S. government needs to keep our word to tribal nations and actually provide the health care we've repeatedly promised to deliver. https://t.co/lBZli6Tx9p — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The ultra-wealthy are cheating our tax code, but the IRS doesn't have the resources it needs to compete with their armies of accountants and lawyers. We need to fully fund the IRS so it can go after these wealthy tax cheats. More from my IG live on @POTUS' proposed budget ⤵ https://t.co/dQQp0gN6Uj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm proud that Orange County businesses are spearheading the transition to clean energy, but they face an uneven playing field against polluters. We need to get rid of the special tax breaks and other advantages Big Oil gets that make it difficult for these innovators to compete. https://t.co/5X9eCZb82V — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I've been pushing the Administration to close an unfair loophole that's been preventing millions from having cheaper health care through the Affordable Care Act. I'm glad that today, President Biden signed an executive order to finally eliminate this "family glitch." — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The bipartisan infrastructure law provides critical support to our communities to mitigate wildfire risk. Today, I asked a @forestservice official how the agency is planning to use this help to keep Orange County families safe from worsening wildfires ⬇️ https://t.co/7WBLcgCyLb — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We have a duty to support our troops when they return from service. I recently joined an @OCVeteran meeting to discuss my bipartisan bill, the Driving Veterans Success Act, that would make it easier for veteran-owned small businesses to compete for federal contracts. https://t.co/aW3lRZ1dYh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

ICYMI: I went live on Instagram to break down the President's proposed budget. I used my whiteboard to highlight how the top .01% often pay fewer taxes than firefighters, nurses, and teachers—and how we can crack down on this abuse so billionaires finally pay their fair share. https://t.co/5Y3nCMQgbh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Federal law is supposed to protect college students struggling with their mental health, but many still face barriers to care. I reintroduced legislation to safeguard students from unhelpful—and at times, actively harmful—campus policies. https://t.co/WyNZAKbQZ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The STOCK Act was signed into law 10 years ago today to crack down on insider training in Congress, but more must be done to truly root out corruption. @gillibrandny and my bill, the STOCK Act 2.0, would ban members from trading stocks and boost disclosure rules. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Orange County families are frustrated with the noise generated by @JohnWayneAir flights flying over their homes during takeoff and landing. I’m urging the Federal Aviation Administration to install additional noise monitoring stations and communicate better with the public. https://t.co/e0jAjw16vh — PolitiTweet.org
