Our economy grew faster than our global competitors last year, prompting our deficit to shrink by $360 billion. This year, it's on track to shrink by $1.3 trillion. I'll keep fighting to lower costs for families. They need confidence our strong economy is working for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing a blessed and peaceful #Ramadan to everyone observing in Orange County and across the country. I'm hopeful this time of reflection will bring renewed strength to all. Ramadan Mubarak! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Washington should work for the people, not for special interests. @RepJasonCrow and I chair the End Corruption caucus, and we met earlier this week to strategize how we can get dark money out of politics, restore trust in government, and more. https://t.co/WRjQsQ1fDi — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Orange County public schools are some of our community's greatest assets. I recently congratulated the top finishing teams of our 2021 Congressional App Challenge, a competition that invites middle and high school students to test their coding and entrepreneurial skills. https://t.co/6eblm5U6lR — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm honored to serve as a voice for Orange County families in Congress. Today, I had the privilege of presiding over the House floor. Whether in the Speaker's Chair, on the floor, in Committee hearings, or back at home, I'll always fight for Orange County. https://t.co/GVGcZwOHuj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

For those interested in joining us, this town hall on the President's budget proposal has been rescheduled for today. I'll be going live on INSTAGRAM in just a few minutes to take your questions. You can find me at @RepKatiePorter. Hope to see you there! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm proud that 54 of my colleagues are joining @RepRaulGrijalva, @RepMaloney, and me in urging the Administration to collect more accurate data that will help lawmakers, advocates, and the public fight discrimination against LGBTQI+ Americans. https://t.co/zRX2sqJiJj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Transgender rights are under attack, but lawmakers and advocates don't have important data that's needed to fight back. Today, on #transvisibilityday, I'm urging the Administration to improve federal data collection by disentangling sex from gender, as recommended by @theNASEM. https://t.co/nod1bGLYV1 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As a single mom, I know inflation is eating away at families' budgets. I'm urging my colleagues to fight inflation by lowering costs: manufacturing more technology in America, cracking down on corporate price gouging, and making necessities like health care more affordable. https://t.co/csRmM06kRn — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Taxpayers spent billions last year propping up Big Oil, even as the industry made record profits. My colleagues and I are urging House leadership to end these subsidies for oil companies—which are raising prices despite sky-highs profits—and provide relief to families instead. https://t.co/KthnK06iqh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Our tax code should be fair. Billionaires and their team of lawyers have figured out how to avoid paying federal taxes, hurting the rest of us in the process. @POTUS's proposed budget would levy a new tax on the top .01% so they finally pay their fair share. https://t.co/sL7rtWdwEb — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Five people were killed in a Tel Aviv suburb, the latest in a surge of violent attacks in Israel. These incidents undermine efforts for long-term stability and peace. I condemn this violence. https://t.co/elZT3zUxLr — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

One in five health care workers struggled with their mental health during the pandemic. Nearly half are considering leaving their jobs in the next three years. I'm urging my colleagues to better protect providers, and in turn better protect public health. #NationalDoctorDay https://t.co/mXMXhlm6dq — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Happening today! I'm hosting a town hall on President Biden's budget proposal at 5 PM PT. Submit your questions 👇 https://t.co/J0pGqS3vhX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The energy industry shows why capitalism needs guardrails to work: Big Oil is making record profits as Americans struggle to pay at the pump. My colleagues and I want to fix this broken market through a bill that cracks down on price gouging and uses the revenue to help families. https://t.co/tucM4SHk5O — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Polluters are taking advantage of our dependence on oil and price-gouging families at the pump. @NRDems asked the CEOs of EOG Resources, @DevonEnergy, and @WeAreOxy to justify their high prices despite record profits—but all refused to testify. I'll keep pushing for answers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

There's a price to not having universal health care: private insurers spend $200 billion more on administrative costs than what's necessary; doctors spend less time with patients; and patients have fewer choices. I used my whiteboard to break down why we need Medicare for All ⬇️ https://t.co/k56VLZOmHW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Private insurance spends 17x more on administrative costs than traditional Medicare—to pay for things like stock buybacks, executive pay, and ads. Medicare for All would save taxpayers billions and generate better health outcomes. It is fiscally responsible policy. https://t.co/u5OlBtOXDR — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Our budget should be a reflection of our values. TOMORROW, I'm going live on Facebook to discuss and take questions on President Biden's budget proposal. I hope you'll tune in! Submit your questions ➡️ https://t.co/J0pGqS3vhX (this link is case sensitive!) https://t.co/3rMhdJvqxY — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Americans with disabilities deserve as much representation in our justice system as anyone else. Today, @SenMarkey and I introduced a bill, the Disabled Jurors Nondiscrimination Act, to prevent an individual from being unfairly barred from juries because they have a disability. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

David Lin, a 67-year-old American citizen wrongfully imprisoned in China, has been separated from his family for nearly 16 years. I'm leading a bipartisan push to bring David, a constituent of mine, back home to Orange County. https://t.co/JAyKzfO1YM — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I loved serving as my sons' Cub Scout Pack's Cubmaster before coming to Congress, so it was a special treat to get to chat with Pack 607 last week. We spoke about the transition to clean energy and how important it is to be involved in the community. https://t.co/EMtEauhPi0 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

REMINDER: I'm hosting a telephone town hall tomorrow to share what I've been working on in Congress and to take questions from Orange County families. I hope you'll join us! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

A loophole in current law makes it difficult for certain families to get affordable insurance off of the ACA marketplace. My colleagues and I are urging the Administration to close this "family glitch" immediately, which would bring down health care costs for 5 million Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Sexual assault has become an overwhelming crisis within all military ranks. Reports that the @DeptofDefense curtailed and buried research that could have better protected survivors is appalling. @RepSpeier and I are demanding an explanation from @SecDef directly ⬇️ https://t.co/hxaGPTscuR — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Top Pentagon officials allegedly buried findings on the agency's dysfunctional system for reporting sexual assaults, raising concerns that efforts to crack down on military sexual assault have been deliberately slowed. @RepSpeier and I want answers. https://t.co/p6OtXeUjIU — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Being in conversation with Orange County families is a top priority of mine in Congress. I'm looking forward to our upcoming telephone town hall, which is taking place this Monday, March 28th. Details 👇 on how to join. https://t.co/Dk3E8sGAC7 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The Trump Administration launched a plot to let private equity firms with no health care experience manage care in traditional Medicare. @RepJayapal and I successfully urged the new Administration to change course. These are steps in the right direction, but more must be done. https://t.co/FvqNeejrXQ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Transparency and accountability in government are hand in glove. My amendment to the Global Respect Act requires a public report on protecting LGBTQ rights abroad, so the American people and our allies can have confidence our laws to crack down on such abuse are working. https://t.co/BYd5QQHLbp — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As a professor, I went to Burma twice with the Department of Commerce to work on consumer protection abroad. I support @StateDept's determination that military forces in Burma are committing genocide against the Rohingya, a key step to holding the perpetrators accountable. — PolitiTweet.org
