Read more about the legislation, which also requires plans for frontline workers to cover post-mastectomy reconstructive breast surgery, hospital stays following the birth of a child, and dependent students on medically necessary leaves of absence ⤵️ https://t.co/UZRA9MDS3T — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Insurers are required to cover mental health care just as they would physical health care, but a loophole in the law has let plans deny mental health services to public school teachers, firefighters, and police for years. My bill to close that loophole recently became law. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The 15th time's the charm, apparently. Americans deserve more than House Republicans' inability to govern—and better than their proposed rule changes. Their agreement to weaken watchdogs, empower extremists, and tip the scales toward special interests betrays the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm eager to continue our office's work in the 118th Congress... whenever it officially begins. As I sit in the House chamber, I'm thinking about all that our team got done in 2022. Read about our wins, including 5⃣ of my bills that were signed into law: https://t.co/sICCDrpYOR — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm a stickler for transparency, especially in government. In that vein... we filmed the above video before two more bills I wrote were signed into law in late December. Read about those (and so much more!) in our office's End of Year Report ⬇️ https://t.co/ifguR7J68M — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Happy #NewYear! I drafted a bill to recover tax dollars from Big Pharma companies that hike prices faster than the inflation rate. It was signed into law—and as of today, January 1, it's in effect! Learn more about this and other top legislative accomplishments from 2022 ⤵️ https://t.co/Sh5XGxN9cy — PolitiTweet.org

Orange County is home to some of the top schools in the nation. In fact, our office was one of just seven to receive 50+ submissions for the 2022 App Challenge! I was so impressed by our winners and their coding skills. Congrats, Diya, on your 1st place app HALO! https://t.co/K2gH3yEEtd — PolitiTweet.org

Airlines are supposed to refund travelers within 20 days for a cancelled flight, but they’re rarely penalized for failing to do so. I have a bill that not only gets people their money back sooner, but also fines airlines 10x the original price for not promptly issuing a refund. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Sending my warmest Christmas wishes to everyone celebrating in Orange County and across the country! I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful day 🎄 — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: We hosted a town hall on how Orange County families can stay safe from worsening wildfires. Watch a recording ⤵️ https://t.co/w70kQHc33T — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Congratulations @OCFireAuthority Chief Brian Fennessy for being named California Fire Chief of the Year! I got to see Chief Fennessy's commitment to safety firsthand during our office's town hall on wildfire preparedness. I recently celebrated this local hero on the House floor. https://t.co/JNoj9ipTxs — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As Americans travel for the holidays, I'm working on legislation to hold airlines and rental car companies accountable. My new bills would get you timely refunds for cancelled flights, prevent airplane seat shrinkage, and require companies to provide the rental car you reserved. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Pets play a special role in our lives. I had fun at @IrvineAnimals' Home for the Holidays Adoption Event, and I'm glad so many Orange County families decided to open their hearts to new members this holiday season. Shout out to @OCAnimalCare for letting me snuggle this sweetie! https://t.co/XIdwn1D4bk — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Wishing a happy #Chanukah to everyone who observes! I popped by @MerageJCC's 2022 Community Chanukah Celebration this week to help spread holiday cheer. https://t.co/0kAXty4hso — PolitiTweet.org

I'm no stranger to @JohnWayneAir (especially as someone who commutes via plane!), but touring alongside @SupervisorFoley was a treat. We learned more about how the airport is boosting our local economy, and how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is helping it reach new heights! https://t.co/XnoEi20pRs — PolitiTweet.org

Wildlife diseases endanger our food supply and economy. Animal-to-human transmission threatens our public health. In April, I chaired a hearing to investigate where we fall short in monitoring and responding to wildlife diseases. I just introduced a bill to close those gaps. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Azerbaijan's reported blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh threatens to cut off gas to 120,000 Armenians as winter begins. We must hold the Azerbaijani government accountable for this abuse, beginning with the full enforcement of existing law restricting U.S. assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

No one should have to suffer the enduring pain felt by the families of those murdered at Sandy Hook—or of those killed at any of the 189 school shootings since. We can save lives and protect hearts by passing stronger gun safety laws, including a ban on assault weapons. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My heart breaks at this time every year, thinking of stockings hung, recipes planned, and gifts bought for the 20 kids and 6 adults whose lives were taken at Sandy Hook Elementary 10 years ago today. Their families are once again bracing for the holidays without them. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Fraudsters are exploiting loopholes in the law to steal from Americans eager to participate in our democracy. I'm urging Congress to pass my bipartisan bill that cracks down on scam PACs, groups that pocket donations they advertise will be directed towards causes and candidates. https://t.co/ApFScP6ok3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Iran's execution of 23-year-old Majidreza Rahnavard isn't an isolated incident. The regime has repeatedly and ruthlessly targeted youth, going so far as to raid schools. I condemned this violence on the House floor, and I continue to stand in solidarity with the Iranian people. https://t.co/iMHhmkKH8Y — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

This week, I introduced a new bill to help more kids get no-cost meals at school without bombarding their families with paperwork. This will not only strengthen our workforce of tomorrow by improving student achievement, attendance, and behavior; it will save schools money. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I voted no on spending $45 billion more on the military than even what the President thinks is necessary to keep us safe. It's clear this money isn't needed to support our troops. I'm concerned these taxpayer dollars will be wasted on lining big defense contractors' pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

National parks belong to every American, and every American should get to enjoy them. As Chair of @NRDems' Oversight Subcommittee, I held our last hearing of the term on how parks can better manage crowds and improve equitable access. https://t.co/UN0nA5BCvL — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The DACA program is hanging on by a judicial thread, with an extremist court poised to completely strike it down as soon as next year. Dreamers are integral to communities and essential to our economic wellbeing. Congress needs to #ProtectDACA before it's too late. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Wall Street is deepening our country's housing crisis by gobbling up single family homes, raising rents, and evicting tenants who can't pay. @RepRoKhanna, @RepMarkTakano, and I have a bill to rein in this corporate greed. https://t.co/dvlu1MzBvm — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I have zero tolerance for corruption. Read more about Chair Grijalva's and my first investigation, which resulted in @NRDems' first-ever criminal referral ⬇️ https://t.co/UtWObbV7gW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

While investigating a possible ~$240,000 quid pro quo scheme between the Trump Administration and a developer, @RepRaulGrijalva and I uncovered evidence of another potential bribery involving top Trump officials. We're requesting documents to help us get to the bottom of it. — PolitiTweet.org
