The Camp Fire was one of the deadliest fires in U.S. history, but no agency was ever responsible for conducting a 360° review of it. Today, I urged my colleagues on @TransportDems to consider my bill to create an independent board that would closely examine natural disasters. https://t.co/HWwAPZtJ6w — PolitiTweet.org

Today, Sikh communities around the world celebrate #Vaisakhi—which signifies the start of the Punjabi new year and commemorates the birth of the Khalsa. To all celebrating in Orange County and around the world, I hope you have a day of wonderful celebration and a year of joy! — PolitiTweet.org

Families have enough to worry about; they shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to find the lowest drug price. @rosadelauro and I are pushing to require pharmacies to let Americans know when it’s cheaper to pay for their medication without insurance. https://t.co/ooYQ2kq8ad — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

It used to be that when you picked up your prescription, the pharmacist couldn’t tell you if it was cheaper to pay out of pocket than with insurance. Even though Congress banned these gag orders, patients are still responsible for knowing and asking about this every single time. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

On the campaign trail, @POTUS rightly talked about childcare as essential infrastructure. I’m concerned that a split now between a “jobs” plan and a “families” plan sends the wrong message. The fact is: strong family policy strengthens our workforce and boosts our economy. https://t.co/6k8YIZxqtE — PolitiTweet.org

🚨🚨Californians—@CoveredCA has opened a special-enrollment period for families to get help from the #AmericanRescuePlan’s new and expanded subsidies. This is the most significant change to the Affordable Care Act since its inception. Visit https://t.co/2NdvBEYJkM to learn more. — PolitiTweet.org

Ramadan is an opportunity to reflect. Muslims around the world pause to remember past struggles in hopes of charting a better future. To all who are celebrating, I hope you find peace and renewal during this holy month. #RamadanMubarak! https://t.co/LYq107RqRA — PolitiTweet.org

I’m a progressive. I believe government can and should play a role in dismantling injustice. But for government to work, we need to earn people’s trust; we need to show that tax dollars are spent wisely. This and more ⬇️ https://t.co/Z63w64Yr2S — PolitiTweet.org

Believe it or not, today marks the *100th day* of this Congress. I’m all about accountability and transparency, so here's a quick update on what our team has been up to—in 100(ish) seconds. Watch ⬇️ https://t.co/UFBYkmtlm9 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

There’s a lot of talk out there about what is or isn’t infrastructure. My focus? Whether a policy will strengthen our economy. Reality check: investing in childcare and elder care will, since it would be easier for folks to work. More from a recent interview with @chrislhayes 👇 https://t.co/kAZVevGibE — PolitiTweet.org

Two years ago today, @jpmorgan CEO Jamie Dimon couldn’t tell me—or the American people—how a single mom working as a teller at his bank was supposed to make ends meet. I wonder if he’s had enough time to think of some answers by now? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The #AmericanRescuePlan provides critical relief to state and local governments, which are on the frontlines of the pandemic. Earlier this week, I met with Mayor @FarrahNK to learn more about how the @City_of_Irvine is keeping our communities safe—while touring city hall! https://t.co/R8BDDQaibg — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We need to tackle all the ways domestic violence happens. Abusers may threaten to hurt pets to exert control, and others will inflict violence. Today, I led 41 colleagues in calling for adequate support for a program that helps domestic violence shelters take pets in ⬇️ https://t.co/9byGfs8D1u — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Strong family policy is strong economic policy. Families that don’t have childcare can’t get to work—just as much as workers who don't have roads. If we want to have a globally competitive workforce, we need to invest in policies that’ll help workers get childcare. https://t.co/I4gyQXR1Mn — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

In January, our office released a comprehensive report diving into how Big Pharma gobbles up small firms that would otherwise force them to compete. Read more about our findings and the solutions I’m fighting for ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/FM2eP8syzp — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Big Pharma mergers destroy innovation and competition, which are key parts of healthy capitalism. Cultures of creativity are killed when profits—not patients—are the priority. https://t.co/NQmDkMB66r — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Investing in infrastructure means investing in what we need for a healthy economy. This is good news for us all, especially after a pandemic. As I told @chrislhayes, corporations should have to pay their fair share for the infrastructure their success depends on. https://t.co/r8PtJ1r72O — PolitiTweet.org

Today, #WeRemember the 6 million Jewish people who were killed in the Holocaust. We honor survivors and those who, despite enduring unimaginable brutality, have shared their experiences so that such evil won’t be repeated. We honor them by speaking out against hate. #YomHaShoah — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Cracking down on organ procurement organizations couldn’t be more critical, since COVID-19 can be detrimental to organs. I’m proud and grateful that the Administration heard our call for robust oversight of these federal contractors. https://t.co/Gp7BQcx1Mo — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

For 2 years, I’ve been fighting for stronger oversight of organ procurement organizations, which @HHSGov estimates fail to recover thousands of lifesaving organs each year. Thank you @POTUS for moving forward with these measures to hold OPOs accountable. https://t.co/XXBwuSe41n — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I take oversight of taxpayer dollars incredibly seriously. Billions have gone out with little scrutiny, in no small part because a body responsible for doing it lacks a chair. @SenWhitehouse and I have been pushing on this ⬇️ https://t.co/NJ2NZMIyOq — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

So far, Congress has dedicated $5 TRILLION to help families, small businesses, and our economy stay afloat during the COVID-19 crisis. Taxpayers deserve to know these funds are doing exactly what they were intended to do. https://t.co/6Tp74wJBmu — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

If you care about our economy, you should care about childcare. Fewer women are participating in the workforce now than anytime over the past thirty years—with many citing few childcare options during the pandemic. Just like roads, childcare is essential to get to work. https://t.co/COFeknCdJz — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Transplants are the best option for people with kidney disease, but providers push them to stay on dialysis since they get a big pay day from insurers. I urged @HHS to investigate this, and I’m continuing to push for robust oversight. https://t.co/feOSx2ustX — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The American Kidney Fund—an organization backed by top dialysis providers—often steers patients away from Medicare and towards more expensive insurance. Why? Providers can easily jack up dialysis prices for commercial insurers, but not for Medicare. https://t.co/E8HioZVdqi — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The law forbids discrimination against patients with disabilities, but insurers often exploit loopholes to deny coverage when it’s beneficial to their bottom line. I’m leading my House and Senate colleagues in asking the Administration to crack down on this immediately. https://t.co/QMxAFkN6NJ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Happy Easter! I hope everyone is enjoying smiles, sunshine, and the start of spring. https://t.co/NuRGmDNvhV — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Investing in childcare is investing in our economy 📣📣 Just as roads and bridges are essential for people to get to work, childcare makes it possible for parents—especially working women—to participate fully in our economy. https://t.co/UvgjJTyGEW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m deeply saddened by reports of a mass shooting in Orange County, and I’m continuing to keep victims and their loved ones in my thoughts as we continue to learn more. My team and I will continue to monitor the situation closely. — PolitiTweet.org

César Chávez fought for America’s workers with resolve, strength, and leadership. As we celebrate his legacy today, we recognize how labor justice creates a better economy and a better country for all of us. #CesarChavezDay — PolitiTweet.org
