Congress has a duty to make sure your tax dollars are used responsibly. Today, @RepGallagher and I are introducing a bipartisan bill that requires federal agencies to report to us when projects are over budget or behind schedule. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m ready to hit the ground running as the top Democrat on the Oversight Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services. I won't let Big Pharma or Wall Street off the hook for corporate greed. Let’s get to work! 💪 https://t.co/xyhujmVcRz — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Big Pharma wants to abuse the patent system to rake in even more profit, yet again. When drug companies try to kill competition to keep exploiting patients, we need to stop them. My colleagues and I are urging @USPTO to scrutinize these patents. https://t.co/EzSQBbJGVU — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Exciting news: I'm joining @JECDems, where I'll work with House and Senate colleagues to study our entire economy. I'm proud to bring my perspective as a single mom, consumer protection advocate, and Californian—the only committee member from the state with the largest economy. https://t.co/GOsdfHZubj — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Climate action keeps Americans safe. I’m honored that my colleagues have again named me co-chair of @SEEC’s Climate & National Security Task Force. Last year, we helped pass policies to make @DeptofDefense more sustainable; this year, we’ll do more. https://t.co/198tIA76tX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My daughter still talks about the time she met @POTUS in Orange County. President Biden is at his best when he’s connecting directly with Americans—an example all elected officials should follow. #PresidentsDay https://t.co/N4HPASdeoP — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Clean energy is good for the environment—and our entire economy. The Inflation Reduction Act has already created over 100,000 new green jobs, making our economy more sustainable and more globally competitive. https://t.co/WfgQX7dlxR — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The nation’s largest egg producer saw profits rise by 600% last year—a record high. Meanwhile, California families are paying over 3x more for eggs. @SenWarren and I want corporations to answer for this abuse. No excuses. https://t.co/GVyi22GWf8 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’ve never taken a dime of corporate PAC money, so you know I’m not beholden to corporations. I’ll push for real accountability for those responsible and stronger protections to prevent another catastrophe. (6/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Railroad corporations should not be actively working to block safety measures that protect communities and workers. If companies like Norfolk Southern never lobbied to repeal the ECP safety rule—and Congress didn’t side with them—we might have prevented disaster. (5/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The 2017 FAST Act is a prime example. Corporations like Norfolk Southern successfully lobbied for the removal of a protection requiring trains carrying hazardous materials to have special “ECP” brakes that can greatly reduce train stopping time. (4/6) https://t.co/JMk9kEDTIK — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

For decades, too many politicians have sided with rail lobbyists to limit regulations on the transportation of hazardous substances and requirements for safety systems. Norfolk Southern, the company that owned the derailed train in Ohio, was part of these lobbying efforts. (3/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I agree with my colleagues that we need accountability, but we need to understand what caused this catastrophe in the first place, so we know how Congressmembers can prevent a similar disaster from ever happening again. (2/6) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The East Palestine, Ohio, railroad derailment has jeopardized hundreds of families, who will now face significant environmental and human health concerns for decades. Let’s talk about it. 🧵⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

When I talk to California families, I hear parents worry that our kids will be unable to live in the communities where they grew up. All levels of government—federal, state, and local—need to work in partnership to promote affordable homeownership. https://t.co/KqMyCtOmbf — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’ll keep working on @NRDems to improve accessibility in outdoor spaces, so that all Americans can enjoy our national treasures. https://t.co/GsFlrj3n77 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My first hearing as Chair of @NRDems Oversight Subcommittee focused on making our public lands more accessible. One of the recommendations was for https://t.co/SjrAEqakUr to provide more information for disabled Americans. I’m glad this is being implemented. A win for oversight! https://t.co/q1Pn9b2R1Z — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Californians shouldn't be taxed on money we don't have—a concept so basic it's been in our tax code since the beginning. This week, I helped relaunch the SALT Caucus, which will continue working to restore tax fairness for middle class families. https://t.co/QoxAYTQXGS — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As Huntington Beach’s Congresswoman, I strongly oppose the City Council’s effort to force the LGBTQI+ community into the shadows. People who visit my Washington, DC, office will always be welcomed by a pride flag. https://t.co/ai7VKFG8Ix — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

A free-for-all hellscape. That's what Elon Musk said Twitter would become if anyone could say anything with no consequences. And that's what today's Oversight hearing, supposedly about Twitter "suppression," devolved into, with screaming and yelling from the majority. https://t.co/m19YVFd0iQ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Last summer, I hosted @SecDebHaaland for a tour of Irvine Ranch Water District. Together, we announced that 25 water storage and recycling projects—20 of which are in California—would receive reallocated funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. https://t.co/YUROAQ8vyM — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Collecting and recycling water helps make California more drought resilient. We expanded our water storage capacity in Orange County thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, but we need to continue investing in this infrastructure to keep our economy strong and stable. https://t.co/jxssihbh4A — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Tonight, @POTUS was at his best. He delivered a personal speech with a progressive, populist vision for our country. Americans are counting on us to deliver competition, consumer protection, and corporate accountability. Count me in 💪 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m honored to bring @LorenaSGonzalez, head of @CaliforniaLabor, as my State of the Union guest. I hope her presence will serve as an urgent reminder of the need to stand firm against corporate giveaways. Our government should represent workers and consumers—not big corporations. https://t.co/VFT9Pnufjn — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The facts show that we are seizing more fentanyl than ever at the border. Since @POTUS took office, @CBP officers have stopped record amounts of the drug from entering the U.S. That’s a sign of success. We’re keeping more deadly drugs off our streets and out of our communities. https://t.co/RaTGbErMVQ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The Iranian regime must be held accountable for their brutality. I'm glad the Administration agreed to tighten sanctions and that the House recently voted to condemn the regime's violence. We must continue to stand with the Iranian people and Iranian-American community. https://t.co/Ue362FjXER — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Americans need to know Congress is working in the public's interest, not in their own self-interests. I repeatedly pushed House leadership for a vote on banning members from trading stocks during the last Congress. I will continue this work—regardless of which party is in power. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Most school buses use diesel, a source of pollution that's linked to health issues. I'm proud the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invests in electrifying school buses, but current law doesn't provide California with our fair share of resources. I'm pushing Congress to change that. https://t.co/OPtWsqJTOG — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I strongly condemn Azerbaijan's cruel blockade of the Lachin Corridor, which has been depriving ~120,000 Armenians of food, fuel, and medicine for nearly two months. I took to the House floor to again urge the Administration to end all U.S. military assistance to Azerbaijan. https://t.co/bt62wY3njI — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I was delighted to welcome my constituent @anilaali, who leads @ammwecofficial, as my guest to this morning’s National Prayer Breakfast. I am proud to represent a diverse and vibrant interfaith community in Orange County. https://t.co/wItkLn6Tnj — PolitiTweet.org
