The Family and Medical Leave Act was signed into law 28 years ago today, but loopholes still exist that prevent families from taking the time they need. I was proud to introduce a bill that would remove an unfair penalty for married couples ⤵️ #FMLA28 https://t.co/2p0dkUT4HH — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
As record numbers of women—especially women of color—are being forced out of the workforce to care for their loved ones, it’s more important than ever we fight for #paidleave. I’m proud to back the #FAMILYAct, which would keep families safe by making paid leave available to all. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Student loan debt is the second largest type of consumer debt, just after mortgage debt. Providing relief in the next COVID package would help jumpstart our economy and benefit us all by making it easier for people to open small businesses, own homes, and save for retirement. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
As Americans, we should all want our government free from foreign interference. I’m hopeful that the new administration will continue this important work of cracking down on unregistered foreign agents trying to influence our politics. https://t.co/z0ZBsr3ePO — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
I’m also excited to continue asking tough questions on @OversightDems’ Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy. Especially as the pandemic ravages our economy, I won’t back down when it comes to speaking up on behalf of the millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Oversight is about speaking truth to power, and that mission doesn’t start or stop just because of a change in the White House. I’m thrilled to share that I’m joining @OversightDems’ Subcommittee on Government Operations, where I'll work hard to help restore trust in government. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Our bipartisan bill, the Family Savings for Kids and Seniors Act, would more than double the amount families can set aside pre-tax to pay for preschool, summer day camp, before or after school programs, and child or adult daycare. Read more about it ⤵️ https://t.co/NljyoVTYsP — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
The pandemic has pushed working parents—especially moms—out of the workforce, which has drastic consequences for our economy. It’s more important than ever that we make child and eldercare more affordable. Today, @HerreraBeutler and I are reintroducing a bill to do just that. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
No one chooses to get sick and take on medical debt, and yet many Americans become saddled with a lifetime of financial harm because of it. Today, @SenJeffMerkley and I reintroduced legislation to protect patients with medical debt from long-term financial devastation. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
We’re in a disaster situation, and we need to pass a relief package that meets its size and scope. Without it, we’ll see financial harm that’ll be more expensive to fix after the fact. As I told @jonlovett, it’s *fiscally irresponsible* not to get families the help they need now. https://t.co/PvT3vFY9vR — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Last week, our office released a report showing how Big Pharma’s business model prioritizes profit over innovation and lives. Instead of investing in new drugs, pharma giants often focus on acquiring companies that might otherwise force them to compete. https://t.co/FM2eP8syzp — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Yesterday, @RepKarenBass, @CongressmanRaja, and I wrote to the new administration urging them to enforce stronger accountability measures as quickly and strongly as possible, given the thousands of lives at stake. Read our letter 👇 https://t.co/KhXJ9Gf3rK — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
The new rule would provide better oversight of organ procurement organizations (OPOs)—which is more important than ever since COVID-19 can be detrimental to organs. It’s estimated this would save over 7,000 lives and taxpayers $1 BILLION in Medicare costs each year. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
For nearly two years, I’ve been fighting to hold contractors accountable for the thousands of organ donations they fail to recover each year. @HHSGov issued a new rule to increase accountability based on this work last year, but it’s now under review by the new administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the first day of #BlackHistoryMonth—a time to celebrate the incredible achievements of Black Americans throughout our nation’s history. We honor their legacies by continuing to fight for justice and equity for all. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
This morning, I caught up with @jonlovett to chat about the urgent need to deliver better mental health care during the pandemic; why we need to pass a significant COVID relief package to avoid long-term economic damage; and more. Hear our conversation ⤵️ — PolitiTweet.org

Insurance companies have been required to cover mental health services like other types of care for years, but not all companies have complied. I’m proud my bill to hold insurers accountable was signed into law, especially as the pandemic threatens our physical and mental health. — PolitiTweet.org

Methane leaks are not only a threat to public health, they're a big driver of the climate crisis. I will work to end natural gas drilling on public lands, and in the meantime, help restore emission standards that the Trump Administration eliminated. https://t.co/TzCgBy2UkS — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
In 2015, the largest Methane leak in U.S. history happened in Aliso Canyon, CA—just up the street from my home. 8,000 families were exposed to dangerous fumes and had to flee their homes. Now @SoCalGas is ramping up production again, and I have questions. https://t.co/7vnEsMyTl2 — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Excited to bring the whiteboard to @NRDems this Congress and work with @RepRaulGrijalva and @RepLowenthal to hold oil and gas companies accountable and fight the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
We can’t just throw our hands up when things are broken; we have to confront issues head-on and keep the pressure up until things change. More ⬇️ from an episode of #ModernRuhles I taped with @SRuhle. https://t.co/nmciTKtiuh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
The last Administration grossly mismanaged our PPE supply, costing American lives and livelihoods. I sounded the alarm on this last April, when our office released a report showing that mask and ventilator exports skyrocketed in the early months of 2020. https://t.co/kq8TpXDC7m — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Today, we celebrate the courage and life of Fred Korematsu. At just 23, he refused to accept the unjust internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. His story reminds us that the fight for true equality is ongoing, and that we must never falter in the face of injustice. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
We need to restore trust in our government, and that starts with stamping out special interests’ influence over our political system. I’m proud to back #HR1, which would help get dark money out of politics and protect our democracy. https://t.co/WNW4gATfg3 — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
The student debt crisis is a drag on our economy, and it'll hamper our collective recovery if we don't take action. Student debt relief would benefit us all by stimulating the economy and getting us out of this mess sooner. It's essential we include it in the next rescue package. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Equal pay isn't a “women’s issue”—it’s an economic one. While the disproportionate harm is on women, especially Black and brown women, our entire economy suffers when people aren’t paid fairly. I’m proud to back the #PaycheckFairnessAct, which combats pay discrimination directly. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Our report is clear: Consolidation destroys scientific cultures that once celebrated creativity and transforms them into places that cater to the whims of shortsighted shareholders. But our investigation also shows how we can chart a new path forward ⬇️ https://t.co/1jxtK9J6rh — PolitiTweet.org
