Families need the full Build Back Better agenda. As I wrote with @USProgressives' leaders: "Without both the infrastructure bill and the budget bill, our economic recovery will be slow, unstable, and weak. Millions will be left out or fall further behind." https://t.co/UdxjDC3V4e — PolitiTweet.org

On #GoldStarMotherDay, we honor the military families who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. My heart breaks for the servicemembers who we've lost. I’m hopeful our gold star families are finding comfort in their child’s memory today. — PolitiTweet.org

It's #NationalPublicLandsDay! That means you and your loved ones can get into national parks for FREE today. My family and I recently visited Zion through the Every Kid Outdoors Program (learn more below!). It was so great to spend time together in such a beautiful place. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Passing the Build Back Better budget in tandem with the bipartisan infrastructure bill is mutually assured success. Together, these bills invest in what we need for a strong, stable, globally competitive economy: roads, bridges, climate, child care, health care, and education. https://t.co/EfAN2EB7JE — PolitiTweet.org

The Constitution gives Congress the authority to provide, maintain, and organize our national defense. I'm proud the House adopted eight of my amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2022. Learn about all of my proposals 👇 https://t.co/kxk9QCPjQ8 — PolitiTweet.org

Six decades after they ended, the U.S. is still withholding info about nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands. @Kilili_Sablan, @RepAmata, and I led a measure to declassify key documents about this shameful chapter in our history. There can be no closure without disclosure. (6/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I never appreciated late assignments as a professor. I've been demanding @DeptofDefense finally turn in long overdue reports to Congress, and today the House passed my amendment to withhold certain funds until the agency complies with the law. (5/7) https://t.co/Hg0eyVNDVL — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Congress needs to know what went wrong in Afghanistan and how. @RepTedLieu and I are pushing for a comprehensive, independent study of the lessons learned during 20 year war, so that our government can be more effective in the future. (4/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Sexual harassment and assault have no place at home or abroad. I'm fighting to require a nonpartisan government watchdog to dig into how NATO handles cases of sexual assault and sexual harassment involving American personnel. (3/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Worsening wildfires aren't just a threat to people, homes, and businesses; they also pose a direct risk to our military readiness. We ought to know how well prepared @DeptofDefense is against wildland fires, so I drafted a bipartisan proposal to get answers. (2/7) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Representatives can often offer amendments—or changes—to a bill during debate. I'm proud to bring the voices of Orange County families to Washington, and I'm so excited to share that the House approved eight of my proposed changes to the annual defense bill. (THREAD) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

When politicians forbid women from making our own health care decisions, they are threatening our economic security. Every American should be free to control their own body, and the Women's Health Protection Act will safeguard this liberty. I am proud to vote yes today. #WHPA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I stand ready to help @POTUS deliver on this agenda for a strong, stable, and globally competitive economy. — PolitiTweet.org

REMINDER: Entry to national parks is free this Saturday, September 25th, in celebration of National Public Lands Day! Spending time outdoors is a great way to relax after a long week. I hope you and your loved ones will be able to take advantage of this opportunity! 😎🌳 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I support investing in roads and bridges, but the data shows 90% of jobs created by the infrastructure bill will go to men—despite women's workforce participation being at a 30-year low. Fortunately, the reconciliation bill helps women get back to work. Our economy requires both. https://t.co/HsmlHNmW10 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

It's no mystery why diagnoses skyrocket at age 65. Many delay doctors visits until they're on Medicare, causing an uptick in diseases that are harder and more costly to treat. I’m calling for lowering the eligibility age to 60 to help more Americans and save taxpayer money. https://t.co/G8fdgY5sg9 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Big Oil depends on taxpayer welfare. Companies pay below-market rates to pollute on public lands, then leave taxpayers to clean up their messes. @Public_Citizen and I are fed up, and we're pressuring Congress to finally crack down on this corporate abuse. https://t.co/ayfmVGetwm — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Democrats and Republicans paid our bills 3x under President Trump because it's the responsible thing to do. The adults are again ready to meet our obligations, but chatter from the kids' row risks economic disaster. This is no time for games. We have bills to pay. (3/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Do you have automatic payments set up for all your bills? Congress doesn't. Archaic rules require us to sign off once to spend the money and again to remove it from our piggy bank—even though it’s already spent. (2/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Representatives have a duty to explain clearly to the American people what's going on in Washington. So, let's talk about a phrase that's been kicked around a lot lately: "the debt ceiling." Spoiler: This just means paying bills we've already incurred. (1/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Orange County is blessed to be enriched by the third largest Asian-American population in the United States. Wishing all of our neighbors who are celebrating the #MidAutumnFestival, #Chuseok, and #Tsukimi tonight a joyful celebration! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Deductions exist so families are taxed on what's left after they pay mandatory expenses, like food, health care, and yes—state and local taxes. We should crack down on the ultra-wealthy, but not at the expense of families in high cost of living areas. Families need SALT relief. https://t.co/BgU2S0NWSM — PolitiTweet.org

RT @USProgressives: Reminder: The actual cost of the Build Back Better Act is not $3.5 trillion, it's $0. The funding working families ne… — PolitiTweet.org

Our democracy cannot survive without accountability. I'm proud my proposal to crack down on government officials that skirt the vetting process was included in the #ProtectingOurDemocracyAct, a package of reforms my colleagues and I introduced today. Learn more about my bill ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We can't leave anyone behind in our economic recovery, including those who've left the workforce due to high child care costs. @RepMondaire, @RepSherrill, @RepJahanaHayes, and I are leading 100+ colleagues to demand Congress cap *all* families’ child care costs at 7% of income. https://t.co/WW6Hp3p2IA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Our federal government should not inflict this cruel violence. Period. Migrants have the right to claim asylum, and the federal government has a duty to treat them with basic respect. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Our most successful businesses know there are costs to not offering paid leave. Without it, talent exits the workforce—and sometimes never comes back. If they do, there are costs to retraining and productivity. Paid leave makes workplaces stronger. We need #PaidLeaveForAll. https://t.co/WBHRzQdBLA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The organ transplant industry has long been a haven for fraud and abuse. I'm glad @theNASEM is working to hold bad actors within the industry accountable, but @CongressmanRaja and I are concerned that potential conflicts of interest could cloud their judgement. We want answers. https://t.co/BX2bNj3Ot2 — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #CoastalCleanupDay, one of California's largest volunteer events. My son and I picked up 148 pieces of trash in Trabuco Canyon alongside @OCCoastkeeper. As Paul said earlier, "All of this trash is truly polluting our natural resources. Keep Orange County clean!" https://t.co/5bhp7y4JRO — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

On #HungerActionDay, I want to highlight how the Child Tax Credit is helping families put food on the table. Census data shows that half of those who received this tax cut are using it to buy food. We need to make this help permanent. https://t.co/Y07KlgA1kK — PolitiTweet.org
