I so miss being able to host in-person town halls, especially on days like #WildfirePrepDay. Back in 2019, our team hosted seismologist and disaster communicator @DrLucyJones for a town hall discussion on staying safe from natural disasters, including wildfires. — PolitiTweet.org

California has experienced record wildfires year after year. While it's crucial that individuals have the tools and resources they need to stay safe, it's imperative the federal government takes bold and urgent action to fight the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

As a former professor, I know how important May 1st is to young people. Today, millions are committing to college. But we can't forget that thousands are nervous about the cost. I'm continuing to work with my colleagues on policies that will help families afford higher education. — PolitiTweet.org

The IRS lacks the resources it needs to crack down on corporations cheating our tax code, which leads to a $1 TRILLION gap between what's owed and paid. It's past time corporations pay their fair share. Today, I urged leadership to beef up the IRS's ability to go after cheaters. https://t.co/xeom6p92zo — PolitiTweet.org

Every Kid Outdoors is a fantastic program that teaches kids about public lands, lets families take affordable vacations, and boosts local economies. I'm urging Congressional leadership to fully fund this program so all families can enjoy our country’s natural beauty ⬇️ https://t.co/IjC20YSHn7 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My daughter Betsy loves hiking, so it's been hard to keep our upcoming vacation to @ZionNPS a secret. I told her we're going this summer since she's entering 4th grade, which means she's eligible for a free pass to all national parks as part of the Every Kid Outdoors program. https://t.co/YHasjBUral — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

At the start of the pandemic, insurers agreed to fully cover COVID-19 treatment. Despite making billions last year, the insurance giants are starting to go back on their word. Today, I wrote to @AnthemInc, @UHC, and @Aetna demanding they stop putting profits over patients. https://t.co/5vmOK35mBa — PolitiTweet.org

Entry-level federal firefighters get paid $13.45/hr while putting their lives on the line to keep us safe. It's no wonder that so many Forest Service jobs are unfilled. By failing to raise the budget to keep up with longer wildfire seasons, we are putting communities at risk. https://t.co/CnyhQvIu1m — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Hate has no place in Orange County, and it's on all of us to combat it. Read more about @SakuraKokumai, a karate champion who was training for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics when she was accosted by a stranger in Orange County ⬇️ https://t.co/2U4GhQaDYk — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

While training to represent the U.S. on the world stage, @SakuraKokumai was harassed in an OC park because of her heritage. She responded to this ignorance by using her platform to raise awareness of anti-Asian hate. I'm honored she was my virtual guest to @POTUS' speech. https://t.co/fI9MFvKO6d — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Older Americans deserve to age with dignity and on their own terms. Yet, under current law, seniors can't use their own money they set aside pre-tax to pay for homecare services. @RepDonBacon and I introduced bipartisan legislation to change that. https://t.co/DLf4eJioaT — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Tonight, @POTUS sparked a national conversation about policies that will help families, strengthen workplaces, and grow our economy. I look forward to working on legislation that makes long-overdue investments in childcare, paid leave, and universal pre-K. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Veteran suicide is a crisis for our military families, and it's a tragic reminder we must do more to get our servicemembers the help they need. Today, @RepMarkTakano and I urged Congressional leadership to strengthen a program to help end servicemember suicide. https://t.co/Yg3sobUCK9 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Every family should be able to make caregiving decisions that are right for them. But too often, economic necessity forces parents in and out of the workforce. Investing in pro-family polices creates better workplaces and a stronger economy for all—whether you have kids or not. https://t.co/0OuRnLdjpf — PolitiTweet.org

Transparency and accountability are essential to good government. As I told a community member who asked about rooting out corruption during a recent town hall, I hold myself to a high standard so Orange County families can be confident our office is working for them. https://t.co/lzX7sCIL30 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Today, I chaired my first hearing of @NRDems Oversight Subcommittee. I wanted Congress to hear directly from Americans with disabilities who want to experience our public lands but can't. These national treasures belong to all of us and should be accessible to all of us. https://t.co/WzwQ1JJ65W — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Cute whiteboard, @GOPLeader! I think my kids used the same one when they were little. But I think you misunderstood the assignment. The whiteboard is for inviting the American people into the conversation, not fear-mongering about disaster relief legislation. https://t.co/NNiDEeVOyS — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

COVID-19 has ravaged our communities for over a year. Families lost loved ones, small businesses shuttered, and local governments had to operate on razor-thin margins. I supported the #AmericanRescuePlan, which is getting direct relief to Orange County. https://t.co/nLAI7SYiJQ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

In Orange County, we take pride in helping our children learn and succeed. Our official Congressional website has a Kids’ Corner for our youngest Americans interested in learning more about how our government works. Check it out! https://t.co/LJOBOdmad9 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The pandemic is a tragic reminder that no one chooses to get sick. Yet, our healthcare system forces many patients into debt, which can damage credit scores and cause long-term financial harm. I explain how my bill with @SenJeffMerkley fixes this 👇 https://t.co/f38wECIoHL — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to everyone who asked questions, both before and during Wednesday's event. In case you missed it, a recording is available on my website's "Town Halls" tab ⬇️ https://t.co/8UdrNYMt1q — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I love hosting town halls. They're a chance to be in direct conversation with Orange County families. This week, I spoke with members of our community about everything from mental health care to taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Anyone willing to put in the work should be able to get the education they need to thrive. Yesterday, @RepSusieLee, @RepJahanaHayes, and I relaunched the College Affordability Caucus: a group dedicated to bringing down the sticker price of college. https://t.co/kRZrzpFwVr — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I took out $100,000+ in student loans. 11 years later, I struggled to choose between using a tax refund to pay off my debt or to put toward my 4-year-old’s college savings plan. The cost of higher education shouldn’t be so daunting for families. https://t.co/A2FRmD8NS1 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Taxpayers shouldn't subsidize pollution. For years, Big Oil has raked in billions in taxpayer dollars—and then used that money to lobby for keeping their sweetheart deals. @RepBlumenauer, @RepCasten, and I are fighting back with a bill to eliminate 11 tax breaks for Big Oil. — PolitiTweet.org
