Eliminating Big Oil's sweetheart deals would generate billions in revenue. @RepLowenthal, @RepDianaDeGette, @RepMikeLevin, @RepTeresaLF, and I are urging House leadership to finally make Big Oil pay a fair market rate when they use public resources ⬇️ https://t.co/ud8UMETMcn — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We haven't updated the fees oil and gas companies pay to drill on public lands in decades, and in some cases, a century. These sweetheart deals are costing taxpayers *billions* in potential revenue. I'm fighting to get taxpayers a fair return on our natural resources. https://t.co/IJWqAWw2eX — PolitiTweet.org

REMINDER: Admission fees to national parks will be waived this Wednesday, August 25th, to celebrate the @NatlParkService's 105th birthday! I hope you and your loved ones are able to take advantage 😎🌳☀ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My colleagues and I have formally asked the @US_FDA for answers on behalf of families with kids under 12 years old. Parents deserve to know when their children will be able to get vaccinated. https://t.co/ZXQMXVCriH — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

COVID cases are on the rise. The @US_FDA needs to keep parents in the loop about the process for approving COVID vaccines for children under 12. Kids are back in school. Families need answers. https://t.co/eLxsyp5o5x — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm proud to represent Orange County, which is home to top-notch innovators and problem solvers. Yesterday, I toured a new water treatment facility in our community that'll better protect Orange County families from a family of toxic chemicals called PFAS. 👷💧 https://t.co/nfYCPBqkYX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Reopening Irvine's rental relief program is the right move. I voted to boost housing assistance in the last COVID relief bill to keep families in their homes. I'm keeping an eye on this program so taxpayers can feel confident it's working as intended. 🔎 https://t.co/0IVWRsDbgq — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My daughter is 9; I know how stressful it's been not to know when kids under 12 will be able to get vaccinated. @RepRoKhanna and I are demanding the @US_FDA stop leaving parents in the dark about the approval process. https://t.co/ZXQMXVkPU7 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The @US_FDA needs to be more transparent about the timeline for authorizing vaccines for children under 12. Kids are going back to school at the same time that COVID cases are surging. Parents need answers. https://t.co/NRMB1qIiua — PolitiTweet.org

RT @USProgressives: Congratulations @lizshuler on being the next President — and first woman — to lead the @AFLCIO! There is no one better… — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Taxpayers are getting cheated by Big Oil, which is drilling on public lands at bargain-basement rates. My colleagues and I are urging House leadership to eliminate these sweetheart deals in the budget bill, so taxpayers can finally get a fair return for these resources. https://t.co/VHUpgR9oCE — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The pandemic has made it more difficult for Orange County families to make ends meet. I'm grateful to our local heroes who are helping our community get through this crisis. Today, I volunteered with @CAPOrangeCounty to distribute diapers to families in need. https://t.co/Tb4qchJVj9 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My message to University High School students today: don't let anyone say "you're too young" to get involved in our community. Young people have just as much a stake in our democracy as anyone else, and it's critical their voices are heard. Thanks again for having me, @IUSD! https://t.co/wKJOuE7WgK — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

There's ample evidence that a chemical in tires—and often, on playgrounds—is killing endangered salmon. @RepHuffman, @RepStricklandWA, and I are urging @NOAA and @USFWS to investigate whether this toxin is making its way up the food chain, and how we can better protect wildlife. https://t.co/FISCEqQQmW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Administration officials shouldn't get to skip the Constitutionally-mandated vetting process. My legislation to crack down on unconfirmed agency heads recently cleared a key committee hurdle, and I'll keep going until it becomes law. https://t.co/OLUJ40lU5J — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

No one should serve in a top government job without proper vetting. During the last administration, some officials worked for months—even years—without ever being confirmed by Congress. I talked with ethics expert @waltshaub about my bill to close loopholes that let this happen. https://t.co/aQhKECn9Wf — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

101 years ago today, the #19thAmendment granted some—but not all—women the right to vote. As we celebrate this milestone, we are reminded that the fight for every American's right to vote continues. We've got work to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I warned my colleagues about the high number of vacant federal firefighter positions earlier this year. @POTUS' decision to boost pay for these Americans on the front lines will make our communities safer. https://t.co/2w1sNr5zmh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We've been underpaying federal firefighters for years, which has led to staffing shortages that leave our communities vulnerable to worsening wildfires. I've advocated for better pay for firefighters, and I'm glad @POTUS is taking this important step. https://t.co/0FDL7sDjgA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Reality check: ~2/3 Americans don't approve of Congress. It's clear we need to innovate—not throw our hands up and accept how things have always been. I'm proud our team was recognized by the nonpartisan @congressfdn for our efforts to modernize. https://t.co/LwaXVOkS6B — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

With kids going back to school and cases surging, we need to know when children under 12 will be able to get vaccinated. Today, @RepRoKhanna and I led 106 colleagues on both sides of the aisle in asking @US_FDA for answers. My daughter is 9. This is personal. https://t.co/Fl7zcbAtLa — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Tax breaks for polluters didn't fall from the sky. They were bought and paid for. Special interests spend millions each year on lobbying to keep their sweetheart deals—even though they cost the rest of us. We can better protect taxpayers by reforming our campaign finance system. https://t.co/6kpOvmyvHR — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Parents, check your bank accounts 📣 The next round of #ChildTaxCredit checks are coming out today, which means ~60 million kids and their families are getting direct relief to help cover the costs of child care, food, and housing. We ought to make this tax break permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My daughter Betsy is in 4th grade, which means she’s eligible for Every Kid Outdoors—a fantastic program that lets kids and their families into national parks for free. Our family visited @ZionNPS to celebrate the House passing my legislation to invest in Every Kid Outdoors. https://t.co/AnFSYGLjhX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As a former professor, I don't have much tolerance for assignments that are months—or in some cases, years—overdue. The law requires @DeptofDefense to deliver reports to Congress, and the Pentagon keeps blowing through deadlines. My colleagues and I want answers. https://t.co/wxGIpOeyS5 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Big Oil is supposed to help cover the costs of the damage they do to public lands, but they've devised a scheme to leave taxpayers on the hook: form shell companies, declare bankruptcy, and abandon their messes. I told @Public_Citizen how we can put a stop to this ⬇️ https://t.co/7phqWU1GRr — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I agree with @POTUS' call to action for lowering drug prices: "There is a difference between developing clinical breakthroughs and driving up prices for the drugs Americans rely on." REMINDER: Big Pharma spends more on stock buybacks to enrich shareholders than they do on R&D. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We've never invested in child care and paid leave like our global competitors have, and that's left our workforce—and our economy—vulnerable during the pandemic. Millions of moms were pushed out of the labor force last year. We can't afford to lose more. https://t.co/iOromcvCS2 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Oversight doesn't just happen in the halls of Congress—it's also common in the Porter household. Whether it’s corporate BS or kids saying they “think” they’ve cleaned their rooms, I call out the nonsense. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Worsening wildfires, deadly heat waves, and extreme droughts are not a coincidence. They are a direct consequence of our failure to tackle the climate crisis. We must #ActOnClimate for the sake of our economy—and our planet—by investing in clean energy. https://t.co/68E9cnIuKO — PolitiTweet.org
