I'm glad the Administration is using its platform to reaffirm that vaccines are FREE for every American. The fear of cost puts public health in jeopardy, which is why I pressed the former CDC chief to guarantee free COVID tests at the start of this crisis. https://t.co/SEGATcBCQq — PolitiTweet.org

Congressmembers have important responsibilities in both Washington and our communities. This work can be hard to capture, so I wanted to share this video from my friend @RepJoeNeguse. It highlights what we get up to—including town halls, tours, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a heartbreaking story on the injustice happening at tribal detention centers. Our government has a duty to treat all people with dignity, and we are failing Native Americans. As a member of @NRDems, I'll always stand with indigenous communities. https://t.co/7Bxv42kEkL — PolitiTweet.org

Congress passed the #EqualPay Act nearly 60 years ago today, but women—especially Black and brown women—are still paid less than men for the same work. This isn't a "women's issue," it's an economic one. We all lose out when people aren't paid fairly for their work. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Parents without child care can't work—just like someone without a road can’t get to work. Investing in child care and the caregiving workforce is not something we do just for families; it’s something we do for all of us to have a strong, stable economy. https://t.co/Qe3LBAefKE — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Americans deserve to know how tax dollars are spent—both at home and abroad. For over a year, I've been fighting for @DeptofDefense to publicly disclose its legislative requests to Congress. I applaud @SecDef for doing so and upholding @POTUS' commitment to transparency. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

An overwhelming majority of America's largest corporations force consumers and workers to give up access to our justice system. This lack of accountability enables corporate abuse, and new data from @JusticeDotOrg shows just how bad arbitration is ⬇️ https://t.co/tmRZGosEyX — PolitiTweet.org

Washington politicians don't decide what's bipartisan—the American people do. A majority of Republican voters support the #ForThePeopleAct, which begs the question... who are Republican Congressmembers blocking this voter protection bill for? 🤔 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Family leave lets people take care of loved ones in need. But right now, married couples working for the same employer can get less help—which hurts our workforce and holds our economy back. Today, I renewed my push to close this loophole in federal law. https://t.co/yZUTrotrTG — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Michael Drake is a trailblazer, thought leader, and a friend. I'm proud to have taught at @UCIrvine when he was Chancellor, and I'm continuously impressed by his work as President of @UofCalifornia. Last week, I helped christen Michael Drake Drive 💙💛 Congrats, @UCPrezDrake! https://t.co/U91Qsjwkdx — PolitiTweet.org

.@FisherPrice knows it’s not safe for babies to sleep at an incline. They say they’ve recalled all their incline sleepers—but I’m calling BS. They still sell a “Sweet Snugapuppy Dreams Deluxe Bouncer” and don’t even warn parents. Today, I confronted a top executive about this. https://t.co/U7XnSBLFj3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Emergency responders are essential to keeping our communities safe. Last week, I toured an Urban Search and Rescue facility in Orange County to learn more about how federal, state, and local teams work together during emergencies. https://t.co/v3D6QNRt9a — PolitiTweet.org

After a year of mostly staying inside, today—#NationalTrailsDay—is a great opportunity for families to get some fresh air. Reminder: Every fourth grader in America is eligible for a free, one-year pass to our national trails through the Every Kid Outdoors program. More ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: As of this afternoon, Paul and Luke have both their Pfizer shots—and I officially have a 7th grader and a 10th grader! What a great start to the summer ☀️🎉 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Today, the CDC released data showing that 1/3 teens hospitalized with COVID-19 earlier this year needed intensive care. Every eligible American should get vaccinated—including kids ages 12+. I recently took my sons. Watch how easy it was ⬇️ https://t.co/2KTCcu5qh2 — PolitiTweet.org

Having a mental illness is not a crime, so we shouldn't treat it like one. I have a bill that would make it easier for local governments to send trained health care professionals when 911 is called for a mental health crisis. More ⤵️ https://t.co/vbyA6TRvzA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

This is a great initiative happening locally in Orange County. People in a mental health crisis should be connected to health care professionals, not police. I'll keep fighting federally to make it easier for other cities to launch similar programs. https://t.co/dI4BFP8XqN — PolitiTweet.org

Louis DeJoy was never qualified to run USPS—an agency millions depend on. It is alarming that he may have undermined our democracy by illegally pressuring past employees to make political donations. He must resign. https://t.co/oQFDIrbuq4 — PolitiTweet.org

We've long known that phthalates are toxic to brain development. Yet, these chemicals are still used in food packaging and processing equipment—which has led to 100% of California kids having phthalates in their bodies. I'm urging @US_FDA to protect families from these toxins ⤵️ https://t.co/gYxlxDtd6q — PolitiTweet.org

Shocker: @AHIPCoverage refused to say their members will always cover the vaccine. This corporate greed is a threat to public health and our economy. COVID vaccines are free. If you've been wrongfully charged, comment ⬇️ so we can up the pressure on insurers flouting the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I've been concerned that people would skip the vaccine to avoid a surprise bill—which puts us all at risk. I wrote to @AHIPCoverage to demand health insurers publicly commit to not charging for vaccines, so families wouldn't hesitate to get them. https://t.co/Lg6zBrxefd — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

📣📣 COVID vaccines are free of charge. There's no co-pay or deductible, in part because insurers are required by law to cover vaccines. Now, it's time to focus on getting as many people vaccinated as possible so we can keep our communities safe. https://t.co/nyhapw7Xru — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve joined @RepRaskin in this effort to get help to Palestinian civilians. Lifting the block on this humanitarian aid is consistent with our values and establishing a framework for negotiations toward peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #Pride Month! As a member of @LGBTEqCaucus, I will keep fighting in Congress for every American to have the freedom to live as their authentic self. https://t.co/qpiyFCt3U0 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Today, on #MemorialDay, we remember those who gave their lives in service to our country, as well as the loved ones they left behind. I recently joined a bipartisan trip to help lay a wreath at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial in honor of these heroes. https://t.co/5MvZ93zzLO — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

There are two tax systems in America—one for working families, and another for the rich and powerful who avoid paying their fair share. As I told @nowsimplified, we need to crack down on corporations cheating the tax code and recover the $1 trillion a year that they owe. https://t.co/zb4SvIuBrt — PolitiTweet.org
