The minority party can offer a Motion to Recommit just before we vote on final passage of a bill. If the MTR is adopted, the text of the bill is revised. Historically, MTRs were offered by Members “friendly” to the bill, as a way to correct errors in the text. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
When I ran for Congress, I made a promise to be transparent about the major decisions I make as Representative for California’s 45th District. So, I’d like to explain “Motions to Recommit” (MTRs) and my recent decision to uniformly vote NO on all of them. [THREAD] — PolitiTweet.org

We must get dark money out of politics by making #HR1 the law of the land. Until we do, Big Pharma will keep handcuffing us to high drug prices; Big Oil will keep polluting; and the gun lobby will keep blocking bills that prevent violence.

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Individuals with mental illness are 16x more likely to be killed when approached by law enforcement. We need to start connecting those in a mental health crisis to trained professionals instead of police. Yesterday, I spoke on the House floor about my bill to do just that. https://t.co/goEPdr2i9p — PolitiTweet.org

Before coming to Congress, I taught at @UCIrvine—where I was continuously impressed by the tenacity of our community’s young people. I’m so looking forward to next week’s town hall with @UCICHC students. All are welcome to tune in. More details ⤵️ https://t.co/qkHtigbbkY — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Confidence in our government is low. Accountability in our politics is in short supply. Special interests are drowning out the voices of families, and it’s shaking people’s faith in the system. I’m proudly voting for #HR1, which shines a light on the dark money in our politics. https://t.co/76EcHzmZcW — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
The pandemic has made clear how important outdoor recreation is. Last weekend, our team hiked the San Gabriel Mountains to celebrate the House’s passage of the #PAWAct, which protects 1.5 million acres of wilderness—including this mountain range. #KeepItWild #WorldWildlifeDay https://t.co/SQB2Vc1K9A — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
I’m backing #HR1—a bill to get dark money out of politics, fortify ethics laws, and strengthen voting rights—because Washington should work for families, not special interests. @RepJasonCrow and I co-chair @EndCorruption, and we’ll dive into why this is so crucial TOMORROW on IG. https://t.co/xaVCHkG6qi — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
We haven’t raised the rental rate since I was in junior high, and we’ve been charging oil and gas companies the same royalty rate for over 100 years. If corporations want to extract natural resources on public lands, they should have to pay a fair price. https://t.co/JfZ4XV1qtp — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Public lands belong to the American people. Right now, polluters are extracting resources at rates that haven’t been updated in decades, and it’s costing taxpayers billions. Today, I introduced legislation that would make polluters finally pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Our economy and country thrive when women succeed. Yet, we are only ~25% of Congress. Today, I’m reflecting on the legacies of those whose shoulders my colleagues and I stand on. We have a lot of work to do, but I’m beyond encouraged by our first woman @vp. #WomensHistoryMonth — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
While there are just a handful of us in Congress, there are *millions* of single parents in America today. My experience as a single mom informs my work in Congress, and that’s why I won’t stop fighting to get the #SingleParentPenalty dropped from the COVID relief bill. https://t.co/PKaBHqBxZT — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Paid leave doesn’t just help parents; it also benefits us all by making it easier to participate fully in our economy. At a time when working moms are exiting the workforce in droves, we need to prioritize policies that support families and our economic recovery. https://t.co/GG2U120Uek — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
For over a year, a major cyber attack against @solarwinds enabled foreign hackers to quietly spy on @DeptofDefense, @USTreasury, and @DHSgov. Today, I demanded answers from the company’s CEO—like why their servers were accessible with the password “Solarwinds123.” Yes, really. https://t.co/LsVxWZMirA — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Here in Orange County, we’re fortunate to have beautiful public lands—like Cleveland National Forest and Whiting Ranch—that are essential to maintaining a healthy, sustainable future. Today, I proudly voted for legislation that would better protect public lands for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
I first introduced the Mental Health Justice Act last year with @RepPressley, @RepCardenas, and @RepMGS. I’m proud that @SenWarren, @SenAmyKlobuchar, and @SenBooker are fighting for it in the Senate. Our legislation would make communities safer for all. https://t.co/FD0ZpZrJTI — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
One in four fatal police encounters end the life of someone with mental illness. Today, I’m renewing my push to encourage state and local governments to send mental health professionals—not police—when someone is experiencing a mental health crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
My heart breaks for Angelo Quinto’s family. His death is a tragedy that could’ve likely been avoided if he was connected to care. We need to make it easier for local governments to send trained mental health professionals when 911 is called for a mental health emergency. — PolitiTweet.org

No matter where they live, who they love, or who they are, every American should be able to live free from discrimination. As a co-sponsor of the #EqualityAct, which bans discrimination against LGBTQ+ people, I am proud to vote for its passage today. https://t.co/Wfu2lZ4vHk — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Kids shouldn’t get less nutritious food or less secure housing just because their parent isn’t married. As I told @PoppyHarlowCNN, Congress needs to drop the #SingleParentPenalty in the proposed child tax credit. https://t.co/U52dLoQwql — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
No patient who needs a lifesaving organ transplant should be denied care because they have a disability. Yesterday, @HerreraBeutler and I reintroduced a bill that would help prevent discrimination against Americans with disabilities who need transplants. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
The Postal Service provides life-saving medication to Americans, delivers Social Security checks to seniors, and connects communities. Yet, Postmaster General DeJoy *laughed* when I asked him what work he values most. Let’s educate him. How does your family depend on @USPS? https://t.co/2ggn02MCUj — PolitiTweet.org

I know it can be hard to understand our tax code's complexities. I've been talking a lot about the #SingleParentPenalty for the proposed expanded child tax credit, so I also worked with my staff on a quick one-pager to help explain this unfair penalty ⬇️ https://t.co/gyi9YD6rAE — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
@ted_lemieux Good question. The MSPB has been without any board members for two years, and it's lacked the quorum it needs to hear cases for four. This is exactly why I’m backing Chairman @GerryConnolly’s legislation to better protect these federal employees who file complaints. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
You probably haven't heard of the Merit Systems Protection Board. This agency is supposed to protect federal workers—including whistleblowers—and has a budget of $42M. But with 0 board members, they've adjudicated 0 cases. With my whiteboard, I questioned this use of tax dollars. https://t.co/MuOw6cEqtG — PolitiTweet.org
