Right now, Big Oil can drill on public lands at bargain-basement rates that cost the American people billions in potential revenue. In the #BuildBackBetter Act, a provision I support would finally raise these fees and get taxpayers a fair return. https://t.co/toycUOG7Jc — PolitiTweet.org

Tuskegee Airman Lt. Col. Robert J. Friend took to the skies during WWII as one of the first African-American military aviators. After retiring from the Air Force, Lt. Col. Friend lived and worked in Orange County. Today, I urged my colleagues to help memorialize this local hero. https://t.co/dxQ5xsJftC — PolitiTweet.org

Firefighters put their lives on the line to keep us safe. Yesterday, my colleagues and I introduced legislation to match our communities' gratitude for federal firefighters with action. Our bill provides competitive pay, adequate leave, quality health care, and stable housing. — PolitiTweet.org

We've recovered 13+ barrels—at 55 gallons each—of tar balls from Orange County beaches since the recent major oil leak. I asked an environmental expert what happens when these toxic contaminants go out to sea. He recalled how a leak in Brazil led to polluted beaches in Florida. https://t.co/9lcODErxyA — PolitiTweet.org

J&J sold the powder for 60 years, and now that it has to pay for these women’s medical bills, it wants the courts to treat “Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder” as a separate company. ➡️ J&J net worth: $440 billion. ➡️ “J&J Baby Powder” net worth: $2 billion. This is an injustice. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Johnson & Johnson filed in court last week to split its Baby Powder from the rest of the company. Why? J&J knew asbestos laced some bottles but kept it a secret for decades. Tens of thousands of women with ovarian cancer are suing, and the company wants to shield its assets. — PolitiTweet.org

I dug into data about Amplify Energy, which owns the leaking pipeline near Orange County. It turns out their subsidiary has received $20M from taxpayers to prop up unprofitable oil wells, with $11M more on the table. Where's the help for small businesses hurt by this disaster? https://t.co/DFZrF4IqiI — PolitiTweet.org

Lawmakers need to understand problems to solve them. We know Orange County families have been hurt by the major oil leak off our coast, but I want to give members of our community a chance to speak directly with lawmakers. Details on tomorrow's hearing ⬇️ https://t.co/aleQKjBKjd — PolitiTweet.org

Buy the ticket; take the ride. If polluters want to profit off public lands and waters, they need to take responsibility for cleaning up. Right now, Big Oil leaves taxpayers on the hook for abandoned wells, mines, and rigs. This has to end. https://t.co/7s5ohcM8mH — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Orange County families are being hurt by the recent major oil leak. As Chair of @NRDems' Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, I want to give the community a chance speak with lawmakers and get information.

I wouldn't be in Congress today if it weren't for many child care providers over the years. The U.S. needs to make child care more affordable, but we can't do so at the expense of those who do the work. Child care workers deserve higher wages. https://t.co/asxEAaOzio — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Oil leaks are just one way polluters threaten our environment. Time and again, Big Oil's shell companies declare "bankruptcy" and abandon their wells, mines, and rigs—leaving taxpayers on the hook for the mess. The #BuildBackBetter Act helps puts an end to this corporate abuse. https://t.co/zhGutY0O4b — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

It isn't enough to say we're grateful for our servicemembers; we must match our words with action. @RepMikeLevin and I recently visited @MCIWPendletonCA to see the health and child care services offered to military families. They ought to be a model for the rest of the nation. https://t.co/QUcb5XG8zF — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Affordable child care and paid leave are building blocks of a strong and stable economy. Yet, every other developed country has invested several times more than what the United States has. To #BuildBackBetter, we need to catch up. https://t.co/ZwlOszjcQV — PolitiTweet.org

It's flu season! Protect yourself, your family, and your community by getting your flu shot today. My daughter Betsy and I recently got our flu vaccines, and it was a breeze—but she did ask for a Slurpee after 😉 https://t.co/20nyIHGmzK — PolitiTweet.org

Community must be at the center of discussions about the recent major oil leak. As Chair of @NRDems Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, I'm planning a hearing in California, so Orange County families can speak directly to lawmakers and get information. https://t.co/95aQpckYHT — PolitiTweet.org

Every American ought to be able to be their authentic self without fear or discrimination. As we celebrate #NationalComingOutDay today, we must also remember there are many who aren't ready, feel unsafe, or simply do not want to. They are just as worthy of love and acceptance. — PolitiTweet.org

Students have started a third school year disrupted by COVID-19. Many face isolation, grief, and difficulties navigating remote instruction. I’m pressing my colleagues to better protect our young people by passing my Student Mental Health Rights Act. #WorldMentalHealthDay https://t.co/0CuOSysMMN — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud to represent Orange County, a community that knows our strength is in our diversity. I had so much fun chatting with Orange County families and celebrating the @City_of_Irvine earlier today at the Irvine Global Village Festival! 🧡 https://t.co/fNiRaEakTS — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

There will be accountability for the oil leak off of Orange County's coast. Federal investigators are on the ground, and my @NRDems Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations is going to get answers. In the meantime, we must clean the mess as quickly and safely as possible. https://t.co/mL9CgJEdfL — PolitiTweet.org

Not only did the Trump Administration make it harder for some AAPI communities to get help navigating the housing market, they also enabled predatory lenders to target Asian Americans.
