Merry Christmas to all who celebrate in Orange County and across our country! From my family to yours, I hope you have a joyous holiday full of love and laughter 🎄 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to have worked with colleagues across the political spectrum. In a democracy, we can’t be afraid to debate ideas, whether that’s within one party or between two. What’s important is that we serve the American people, not special interests. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Thousands die each year because they don't get the transplants they need. Mismanagement of organ donations is killing Americans. I've led calls for oversight, and today, @CongressmanRaja and I launched an investigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

You deserve to have a clear understanding of where things stand in our government. My OC colleague @RepLowenthal lays it out 👇👇👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m so proud of the work our team has done to help Orange County families with federal agencies. Over the past two years, we’ve helped over 1,300 individuals get timely answers and saved nearly $1.6 million for Orange County families. Learn more about our casework operation ⬇️⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Assemblywoman Shirley Weber—a champion for voting rights and justice, and a great pick to serve as California’s next Secretary of State. 🎉 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Not only does @LockheedMartin owe American taxpayers *millions*, but they had the gall to ask the federal government for COVID relief funding (aka, taxpayer dollars) despite their profits being up 15% this year. I called them out for this, too. https://t.co/voeewBqteu — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

It’s clear we need more oversight of the defense industry. In July, I pressed a @LockheedMartin VP about millions the company owes taxpayers for faulty parts. These cost overruns are taking money from maintenance and killing our pilots. https://t.co/Pe5VWRrbi3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Congratulations to Alex Padilla on his appointment to represent California in the U.S. Senate. This is a historic moment for our state’s Latinx community. Welcome to Congress! Ready to fight by your side! 💪 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My bill to make it easier for Americans to deduct high medical expenses from their federal taxes is also set to become law. As I continue to fight to lower healthcare costs, this bill provides immediate relief for some of the most vulnerable. https://t.co/cuAtfFkP5v — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My Mental Health Parity Compliance Act strengthens enforcement of federal law that requires insurance companies to cover mental health the same way they cover other types of care. For far too long, what the law promises hasn't been what insurers do. https://t.co/Bsgw6BZsUF — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Last year, I introduced bills to improve mental health coverage and protect Americans with high out-of-pocket medical costs—particularly older adults, people with disabilities, and people with chronic illnesses. After nearly two years of pushing, these bills are becoming law. 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We have 0% ICU capacity in Orange County and a per capita case rate that is 6x the threshold for being widespread. The risk of getting and spreading COVID-19 is multiples of what it has been at any other time during this pandemic. OC: Stay home, stay safe, and stay strong! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

In light of this news, I’m ready to go! But where am I going, you ask? Downstairs to hug my kids. That’s it. I know this is hard—I haven’t seen my siblings or parents in roughly a year—but now more than ever, we need to stay home to stay safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

After exposure to someone who tested positive to COVID-19, I quarantined for seven days in my room (with the occasional venture into the kitchen while masked). I’m so relieved to share that today, I received a negative test result. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As a single mom, I’m no stranger to our country’s childcare crisis. In fact, one of the first bills I introduced would more than double the amount of money families can set aside pre-tax in Dependent Care FSAs to help pay for childcare. https://t.co/enkhurwLBt — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I know how crucial these pretax accounts are for parents paying for childcare. So, I teamed up with @RepLindaSanchez and @RepCindyAxne to urge the IRS to enable parents to use pretax funds to pay for online childcare programs during the pandemic ⬇️ https://t.co/U1jDqwxmcv — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Not too long ago, an Orange County family reached out about how they couldn’t use Dependent Care Flexible Savings Accounts (FSAs)—which let families to set aside pretax dollars for childcare—to pay for virtual services, despite the COVID-19 pandemic forcing many programs online. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

In May, I introduced the Stopping the Mental Health Pandemic Act—a bipartisan bill that would better equip state and local governments, nonprofits, and healthcare providers to treat the mental health needs of our communities during this unprecedented time. https://t.co/e73yYxvSt7 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We had a mental health crisis before the pandemic, and it’s clear now that it’s only getting worse. Millions of Americans are isolated, while countless others mourn the loss of loved ones to COVID-19. We must take urgent action. https://t.co/wScXGTBG2N — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As a former professor, I know how crucial it is for prospective students to find the right program for them. @FTC is aware that certain education referral websites and colleges are misleading our students, and @RepSusieLee and I want to know how they’re holding them accountable. https://t.co/ozokX5oILE — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Choosing a college is a major life decision, and students should be able to trust information on education referral websites. Yet, some sites only match students to for-profit colleges that pay to advertise on their site, deceiving aspiring students and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The Sackler family withdrew $10 billion from Purdue Pharma—the (now bankrupt) company responsible for the opioid crisis—leaving limited funds available for families who lost loved ones. As a bankruptcy lawyer, I know a fraudulent transfer when I see one, so I called them out 👇 https://t.co/vX76lO0xKN — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m proud to represent Orange County, which is a hub for top-notch STEM education. Today, I congratulated the top finishers of our district’s annual Congressional App Challenge—and I couldn’t be more impressed by Eric, Shrey, Bardia, Jiaqi, Minh, and Edward’s coding skills! https://t.co/OoDEr865vV — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Watch my full conversation with @Candace_Parker ⬇️⬇️ We chatted about what it’s like being a single mom in Congress during a pandemic, the importance of mentorship, and more! https://t.co/olseoYkkUp — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I had a ton of fun with @Candace_Parker from the @LASparks, a team that—in addition to making Southern California proud on the 🏀 court—has worked tirelessly to empower our young people to use their voices for change. Thanks Candace for your patience while I cast a quick vote! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

@NoraWD SO excited to have you on board 🧡 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m so impressed by our young people, including our talented @UCIrvine students. In October, @asuci invited me to chat about my policy priorities during a virtual town hall. We discussed the college affordability crisis, tackling climate change, and more. https://t.co/UPosoZyvod — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Since the start of the pandemic, our office has worked tirelessly to have safe conversations with members of our community. Back in March, we hosted one of our pandemic telephone town halls to answer questions from Orange County families about COVID-19. https://t.co/hxmHc2bhiK — PolitiTweet.org
