Since the start of the pandemic, our office has worked tirelessly to have safe conversations with members of our community. Back in July, 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

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m humbled that so many made their voices heard during a town hall earlier this year on the 2021 budget. I’m committed to being a responsible steward of our tax dollars—and that means making sure they’re spent in a way that’s consistent with our values. https://t.co/vvK99UoSiq — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

In May 2019, our office hosted a town hall focusing on the needs of older Orange County residents. I miss hosting in-person town halls, hearing directly from members of our community about the issues that matter most to them. https://t.co/zVCxNH9IBx — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My favorite part of being a Congressperson is how much I get to learn, including by listening to Orange County families. To all those who took the time to attend one of our 3⃣4⃣ in-person and virtual town halls over the past two years, thank you. Some highlights ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Last month, @SocialSecurity issued a new policy that would allow employees without the relevant experience to conduct disability hearings, threatening the rights of millions of Americans to a fair trial. @RepMGS and I are demanding this be reversed immediately ⬇️ https://t.co/hUzzdCr7ZR — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As millions struggle to put food on the table, the last thing we need is a green light for corporate abuse. I wrote for @NBCNews about why Senator McConnell’s arguments for corporate “get out of jail free” cards don’t hold weight ⬇️ https://t.co/KiIu9Tz1ng — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Today, I’m joining Tonya Ingram, a kidney transplant hopeful, and Jennifer Erickson, an Obama White House alum whose work focused on ending the organ transplant waitlist, for a virtual conversation on what these reforms mean for the 113,000+ Americans in need of a transplant. https://t.co/iYQX4S1482 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

For over a year, I pushed @CMSGov and @HHSGov to crack down on federal contractors that were failing those they serve: patients waiting on lifesaving organ transplants. I’m proud that last month, new protections were implemented to hold these groups accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The American people are not just braving the COVID-19 pandemic, but we’re also facing an epidemic of hunger, housing insecurity, and unemployment. This crisis is far from over; it’s past time for the federal government to provide direct relief to families. https://t.co/4NVuNGnb8B — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Today, on the fifth anniversary of the #ParisAgreement, it’s critical we recommit ourselves to urgent action on climate—beyond the first step of rejoining this treaty. We must hold polluters accountable, ramp up clean energy research, and support the growth of green jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Let’s be clear: businesses that take reasonable measures to keep workers safe are protected under the law. As I told @Lawrence earlier this week, Senator McConnell is holding COVID relief hostage to satisfy corporate donors who’d rather cut costs than protect workers on the job. https://t.co/d7Q1OPjLy2 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m deeply honored to be elected Deputy Chair of @USProgressives for the upcoming term, and I look forward to continuing to advance a progressive agenda that puts workers first and rejects corporate greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We shouldn’t be putting the imaginary needs of corporations ahead of the real needs of the American people. The House has passed several bills to give families relief, but Mitch McConnell seems more interested in shielding corporations. https://t.co/Xoi3B855Us — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Mitch McConnell is refusing to bring a relief bill to the floor unless it wipes away all COVID-related lawsuits filed that allege injury or death due to corporate negligence. There already are legal protections for businesses acting *reasonably.* This is a license to kill. https://t.co/EWaPTvUw96 — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #Hanukkah to all those celebrating the Festival of Lights in Orange County and across the country. May these eight days bring you peace, joy, and meaningful reflection. Chag Sameach! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As we celebrate #HumanRightsDay today, we must also recognize the hard work ahead. Human rights include economic rights, and our rights are under attack from both governments and corporations. More from @davidakaye and me ⬇️ https://t.co/vlNwo0rHDG — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is the federal agency responsible for keeping Americans—including our kids—safe on the road. For months, @CongressmanRaja and I have been urging @NHTSAgov to take action, and we won't back down. https://t.co/JlF7914fAH — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Following alarming reports that top booster seat manufacturers have been deceiving American families about the safety of their products, @CongressmanRaja and I launched an @OversightDems investigation to hold these corporations accountable. ▶️⬇️ for key findings from our probe: — PolitiTweet.org

Over the last four years, Secretary Betsy DeVos has gutted protections for student borrowers. Our incoming Education Secretary needs to use their oversight authority to hold predatory institutions accountable. Read more on the powers we have to defend our students 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Mitch McConnell’s plan would let @ATT and other corporations get away with failing to protect their workers—and frankly, our entire community—during a public health emergency. It’s immoral, and we can’t stand for it. (5/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

46 workers got sick following a COVID-19 outbreak at an @ATT call center in our district. Two tragically passed away, but AT&T took no responsibility and failed to answer my questions about how they’d improve. (4/5) https://t.co/8Q77sORsr1 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The reality is that corporate immunity would give companies the green light to put profits before people. We’ve already seen evidence of this life-threatening behavior, including right here in Orange County. (3/5) https://t.co/noA8IZj62r — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

McConnell is claiming this policy is to help small businesses, but there’s already an existing legal standard to protect businesses that are acting reasonably: negligence. The Senate wants to wipe this away and let corporations off the hook for endangering workers. (2/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We should prioritize workers, not large corporations. Yet, Mitch McConnell is fighting tooth and nail to let corporations off the hook if their workers get COVID-19 on the job, and he’s holding pandemic relief hostage at the expense of millions in the process. (1/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The same McConnell who said that President Trump is “100% within his rights” to pursue baseless lawsuits alleging election fraud is now refusing to pass urgently-needed relief unless it strips those same rights from the most vulnerable among us. This must be exposed. (5/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

These lawsuits represent the worst of the worst examples of disregard for human life—cases filed on behalf of nursing home patients and grocery store workers who died because the company in charge of keeping them safe prioritized cutting costs over protecting them. (4/5) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Everyone at the negotiating table—including Senate Rs—has agreed to a compromise. Except one. Mitch McConnell is refusing to bring it to the floor unless it wipes away all COVID-related lawsuits filed that “allege injury or death” due to corporate negligence. (3/5) — PolitiTweet.org
