I'm excited to see @POTUS's announcement today about steps he's taking to protect consumers, promote competition, and expand our economy. This action is long overdue and includes many policies I’ve been fighting for. (THREAD) https://t.co/TK99bl8CAQ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We need oversight at @US_FDA to maintain the safety and effectiveness of drugs it approves. The American people deserve to know that the FDA is sticking to the science. https://t.co/HkjirCtMiO — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Earlier this week, I demanded that @OIGatHHS investigate the approval of this new Alzheimer's drug, and I'm glad @DrWoodcockFDA agrees. Scientists opposed @US_FDA's decision, and reports showed that pharma execs worked behind the scenes to get approval despite poor results. — PolitiTweet.org

Talking with community members about the issues that matter most to them is fundamental to being a Representative—and it's incredibly important to me. I'm so looking forward to our town hall this SUNDAY. Hope to see you and your family there! RSVP: https://t.co/YSmmj3khdQ https://t.co/rg79x0vWX6 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Transitioning to green energy would be huge for our economy—especially in California. Here in Orange County, @UCIrvine is at the forefront of green energy research. I can't wait to tour their electric vehicle infrastructure with @SecMartyWalsh and @RepMikeLevin later today! https://t.co/VK95fYU6bc — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Earlier this week, I urged an independent watchdog to look into how much access Big Pharma has to @US_FDA officials, in case more guardrails are needed to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse. https://t.co/J9rdSd80gO — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The fast-track approval process should be used when a drug shows promise, not as a backup when test results are too lackluster for the regular process. Cozy relationships—not science—may have led to Aduhlem's approval, so I'm calling for an investigation. https://t.co/kMt3SBVgho — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’ve promised to put Orange County families first. This weekend, I'm hosting "Policy in the Park," a family-friendly event that includes a town hall and a booth for our youngest community members. Come with the whole family—kids and teens encouraged! https://t.co/qWZd6JIvof — PolitiTweet.org

RT @DrPhilGoff: “We tend not to care that people go untreated so long as they also go unseen.” We can do better. Congress can fund mental… — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Patients should have confidence that their treatment plans are based on science, not cozy relationships between Big Pharma and @US_FDA officials. I'm concerned the approval process for certain drugs has been compromised, so I'm urging an independent watchdog to investigate. https://t.co/LgLzcIGVnN — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

People in a mental health crisis should be connected to care, not confronted by armed law enforcement. @DrPhilGoff and I explain why, and discuss my bill to make it easier for local governments to send health care professionals when someone is in crisis ⬇️ https://t.co/2TqR8CCWI8 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I started celebrating the #FourthofJuly last night! It was a joy to ring in the holiday with so many Orange County families, and to reflect on how we keep fighting for liberty and justice for all. To all celebrating—I hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends. https://t.co/Hb4zPYQgFp — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The U.S. doesn't have a just tax system. Families contribute their fair shares, but corporations get away with not paying what they owe under the law. That's costing the rest of us $1 trillion/year—money that could otherwise be spent on collective needs, like infrastructure. https://t.co/2jCur4gHFC — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Telehealth services have been key during the pandemic. Remote patient monitoring (RPM)—which lets doctors manage certain conditions remotely—cuts costs and improves care. Today, @RepBalderson and I introduced a bipartisan bill to make it easier for Medicare patients to use RPM. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Imagine being able to drive across the country and—just like gas stations—you can find electric vehicle charging stations when you need them. I'm fighting to make this a reality, and I chatted with @SecGranholm about why this would be good for our planet, and for our wallets ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Wildfire season gets more and more intense each year. Families breathe in toxic air, homes are destroyed, and lives are lost. Today, I urged my colleagues to take action against a key contributor to severe wildfires: the climate crisis. https://t.co/Dhkc5XUsPv — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

If our goal is to create jobs that'll boost our economy, it's essential we also invest in the workers who will do those jobs. We are the only developed country that doesn't provide paid leave, and that's making our workforce—and our economy—less globally competitive. https://t.co/HMquk9rLXq — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The people of Puerto Rico are being poisoned by a coal plant the owners themselves want to shut down, but the company that runs it—@lumaenergypr—disagrees. I invited LUMA to explain before my @NRDems subcommittee, but they claimed their testimony wasn't relevant. I called BS. https://t.co/eRd4nx25ce — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm so excited for our first *in-person town hall* of this term! We've hosted some great virtual events, but there's nothing quite like talking with Orange County families in person. Join us Sunday, July 11th at Mike Ward Community Park. Details ⬇️ https://t.co/H0b8hzf8UW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I've been sounding the alarm for over a year that @WellsFargo had deceived families out of hundreds of millions of dollars. This investigation is long overdue; the families that fell victim to Wells Fargo’s scheme deserve justice. https://t.co/je6pRyZ7Lv — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

For years, @WellsFargo used deceptive fine print to scam families out of hundreds of millions. They knew their language was confusing, but they were more concerned about lining their pockets. I'm glad the @CFPB is investigating this corporate abuse. https://t.co/tKLIiB72Se — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm a champion for oversight, especially of taxpayer dollars. People are right to question the price tag of legislation, so it's critical lawmakers are discussing (and communicating back to the American people!) our top priorities and how exactly we're going to meet them. https://t.co/SOuYnFOBL6 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Government watchdogs—known as Inspectors General—protect taxpayer dollars by rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. But right now, there’s no check if the administration appoints biased loyalists to these positions. I'm proud the House passed my measure to close this loophole. https://t.co/6N925Yl52z — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Taxes are a collective investment we make to grow our economy. Families are paying their fair share, but corporations and the ultra wealthy aren't—to the tune of $1 trillion. We must give the IRS the resources it needs to go after these tax cheaters. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Wildfires have long devastated California, but the 2020 season was particularly brutal for our state. The forecasts for 2021 are even worse. The climate crisis is here. We must take bold action to save our communities. https://t.co/C48fHk5mn8 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

From 1946-1958, the U.S. conducted 67 nuclear weapons tests—equivalent to 1.6 Hiroshima-sized bombs every day—in the Marshall Islands. We still haven't told the Marshallese people all that we know about the harm from those tests. It's past time we deliver justice. https://t.co/Pmf4AAWrEQ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Congress has a duty to perform oversight of the executive branch. In its final months, the Trump Administration quietly instituted a policy that puts polluters ahead of families and their health. Today, I voted to reverse this measure that puts Americans—and our planet—at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Congressional witnesses should be straight with the American people. Don’t say you can’t do something when you’re just unwilling. The head of @US_FDA claimed she couldn’t take action to prevent addiction in kids. I called BS. https://t.co/Ubm1pgoqbW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

California has been leading the fight to protect people from predatory lenders, but the Trump Administration issued a policy in its last months that undercuts our state law. I urged my colleagues to close this loophole that companies are using to trap families in a cycle of debt. https://t.co/SwS4yE3IPF — PolitiTweet.org
