"California's EDD Unemployment System Disaster..." isn't a pandemic-era headline; it's from 2013. We've long failed to invest in unemployment programs, under both Democratic and Republican leadership. Taxpayers deserve a solution to this persistent—and not partisan—problem. https://t.co/0QxYQprHww — PolitiTweet.org

Big Oil has too much influence in Washington. Last week, House Republicans passed legislation to give 10% of our public lands to special interests. I voted against the bill, and wrote an amendment that would have eliminated a special tax break that lets polluters cheat taxpayers. https://t.co/m537SKShXQ — PolitiTweet.org

Every American should be free to make decisions about their own bodies. Today, I met with representatives from Planned Parenthood of Orange and San Bernardino Counties to discuss their work and how Congress can keep abortion safe and legal. Thank you, @PPOSBC, for stopping by! https://t.co/n4wAhfCNuI — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Congress needs to hear from everyday Americans, not just lobbyists who can afford it. I introduced an amendment to let witnesses testify virtually before the Oversight Committee—so that more parents, workers, people with disabilities, and rural Americans can tell their stories. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud my bill to lower drug prices took effect this year, but we have more work to do to protect patients and taxpayers from corporate greed. We need to make it easier for smaller companies to compete with Pharma giants to continue getting prices down. https://t.co/yZZH444h6F — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The same Big Pharma company that I confronted for spending tens of billions on shareholder payouts was just exposed for gaming the U.S. patent system—to the tune of $114 billion. I will keep leading efforts to rein in Big Pharma's greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I strongly support the Biden Administration's newly-announced sanctions against the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Iranian regime's right hand in oppression. "Woman, Life, Freedom" is not just a chant—it's a call to action. #MahsaAmini https://t.co/x96c5TM4o1 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I've been sounding the alarm that Johnson & Johnson was abusing our bankruptcy system to skirt accountability for selling baby powder executives knew was tainted with cancer-causing chemicals. A court today ruled against this scheme—a huge win for consumers everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m a proud progressive. Our caucus, one of the largest in the House, is united against fighting corporate abuse and pursuing an economy that puts real people first. Check out our latest @USProgressives class photo! https://t.co/iD4LD0uA81 — PolitiTweet.org

Today, on the 78th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, #WeRemember those whose lives were brutally cut short. We honor the 6 million Jewish people and other victims of the Holocaust by standing united against all forms of hate. #HolocaustRemembranceDay — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm urging colleagues to vote no on a bill that would give 10% of our public lands to Big Oil. As I've long pointed out, the industry has been sitting on thousands of unused permits, on millions of acres of public land. Polluters don't need another taxpayer-funded giveaway. https://t.co/LNTJh3gFpf — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Taxpayers contributed to every aspect of COVID vaccine development. Now, Big Pharma wants to quadruple the price—after already making tens of billions in profit. A lack of competition in the industry enables these companies to cheat taxpayers and patients. https://t.co/VGpxjjs2xX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Lunar New Year should to be a time of celebration, not mourning. Today, I participated in a moment of silence on the House floor led by @RepJudyChu in honor of the Monterey Park shooting victims. No community should have to suffer the pain of gun violence. https://t.co/VNHofcaX9K — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The Iranian regime’s brutality can’t be ignored. Today, the House passed a bipartisan resolution I’ve been pushing for to condemn #MahsaAmini’s murder, commend the brave protestors who are demanding change, and urge the Administration to continue sanctioning human rights abusers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I am saddened by the news of Tonya's passing. I had the honor of working with her to raise awareness of the problems in our nation's organ transplant process. Cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse in organ procurement organizations will save lives. https://t.co/XCRHlRkFfE — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My bill to hold Big Pharma accountable for hiking prices faster than the inflation rate took effect this year. Had it been on the books sooner, it would have saved taxpayers $3.7 BILLION from 2018-2020. I'm proud my legislation is now the law of the land. https://t.co/XORwV8LFWP — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We're fortunate in Orange County to be enriched by one of the largest Asian American communities in the U.S. I'm devastated that today's #LunarNewYear celebrations have been hampered by another senseless act of gun violence. My heart is with our Asian American neighbors. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Every American should be able to make their own private medical decisions, without interference from extremist politicians. The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn #Roe remains a direct assault on liberty and justice for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

What happened last night in Monterey Park was a tragedy, especially as the Asian-American community is beginning Lunar New Year celebrations. I’m keeping the victims and their loved ones in my thoughts, and I thank the first responders for their hard work. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Corporations shouldn’t get to drown out families’ voices in a democracy. And yet, the Supreme Court’s #CitizensUnited decision empowers special interests to spend billions of untraceable dollars on elections. I’m pushing for campaign finance reform that puts real people first. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm grateful for the first responders who are keeping Californians safe in the series of storms ravaging our state. This weekend, I met with local officials to assess storm damage in Orange County and discuss how we can continue working together to help our community recover. https://t.co/V6dW4MwPU7 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Martin Luther King, Jr., Day is supposed to be "a day on—not a day off." This morning, I joined @CAPOrangeCounty and @100BMOC to help assemble food boxes for the Orange County community. Today and every day, it's on all of us to spread kindness and stand up to hate. #MLKDay https://t.co/irL30FgYMa — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I worked with California colleagues to send a letter to @POTUS calling on him to immediately approve @CAgovernor's request for a major disaster declaration in response to the ongoing winter storms. I will keep fighting to get Californians the federal aid we urgently need. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

ORANGE COUNTY: @FEMA public assistance is now available. My office will continue working to help our state, county, and local partners secure federal relief for transportation costs, barricades, supplies, shelter, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Last Congress, I worked with colleagues to not only introduce legislation to ban Congressmembers from trading stocks, but also pressure party leaders to have a vote. I’m proud to back @RepSpanberger’s bill again and ready to roll up my sleeves to push this over the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

A string of storms is devastating California. I'm grateful for the first responders helping people stay safe, and my thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones. I will work at the federal level to get Californians the resources we need to recover. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Typo: their bill adds $114 billion (with a B!) to the deficit. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Congress passed a law to boost IRS funding last year. Republicans now want to rescind resources and spread lies that new agents would otherwise go after families. I voted no on their bill to help big corporations evade taxes—and add $114M to the deficit over 10 years. (3/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’ve been pushing to give the IRS the resources it needs to serve taxpayers and crack down on ultra-wealthy tax cheats. With 50,000+ workers—including many customer service representatives—set to retire soon, time has been of the essence. (2/3) https://t.co/sZBp3NFnCE — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

When Republicans took power in 2010, they defunded the IRS so it would be easier for their ultra-wealthy donors to cheat taxes. Families have since been dealing with delays, and big corporations have been pocketing billions in taxes they owe under the law each year. (1/3) — PolitiTweet.org
