Last year, I convened a group of 40 community leaders to discuss how we could work together to achieve a complete count in Orange County. I'm incredibly proud of the work our local partners have done so far, but we must continue the momentum until the job is done. https://t.co/vVuXctYWJr — PolitiTweet.org

The Census is the once-a-decade count of every member of our community. It helps government and businesses know where to send resources—including money for schools, hospitals, and more. Fill out your Census, then encourage your friends who aren’t on Twitter to do the same! — PolitiTweet.org

We are in month six of a public health crisis, and the @US_FDA STILL hasn’t taken meaningful steps to allow healthy gay and bisexual men, as well as other members of the LGBTQ+ community, to donate blood. https://t.co/AhQLtwLOsC — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Prohibiting gay and bi men, as well as others in the LGBTQ+ community, from donating blood is a discriminatory policy that puts lives at risk, especially during a pandemic. Since April, I’ve been calling on @US_FDA to stop letting red tape get in the way of healthy blood donors. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I had so much fun talking with @kaylawebley about what it's like being a single mom in Congress during a pandemic. Even though venting to a reporter is not what my staff would call a "best practice," I don't really have time to not keep it real 🤷‍♀️ https://t.co/3hVcFaoAj8 — PolitiTweet.org

Last month, I recorded a special message for Postal Worker Appreciation Day to highlight the important work these civil servants do for our communities. Watch below ⤵️ https://t.co/jSdS1xUjjL — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

For decades, @USPS has enabled millions of Americans vote safely by mail. This election season, it's more important than ever that we protect this civic treasure that so many in our community depend on to vote, receive medication and groceries, stay connected, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The Senate wants to give corporations legal immunity if their workers get COVID-19. Translation: no consequences if a company doesn’t provide protective equipment or enforce physical distancing. This is a green light for corporate abuse. RT if you agree: #NoCorporateImmunity — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Earlier this week, I joined @KNX1070 to discuss my new bill, the Support Working Families Act, which makes it easier for parents serving as caregivers to get relief if their kids or other dependents can't go to school or a childcare facility because of the pandemic.

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Because of an error by @SocialSecurity, some seniors and people with disabilities received extra benefits. I'm supporting legislation to protect these Americans from having to repay hundreds or even thousands they didn't know were provided in error, in the middle of a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Remote patient monitoring devices allow patients with mild COVID-19 symptoms to be monitored at home. Yesterday, I introduced bipartisan legislation to make it easier for healthcare workers to get their hands on these critical tools. Read more here⬇️ https://t.co/AqADAdcSER — PolitiTweet.org

As a former professor, I have worked with a LOT of young people in my career. So when I heard that today is National Intern Day, I wanted to record a message for all of the young people who are eager to get involved, wherever and whenever it is safe to do so.

For years, our country has failed to prioritize our kids. I’m proud to support both the Child Care is Essential Act and the Child Care for Economic Recovery Act, which make critical investments in our childcare system and better equip providers with tools to keep families safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

On this day in 1965, President Johnson signed into law legislation that created Medicare, a program that provides healthcare coverage to over 44 million Americans. Now more than ever, this crucial program is helping to keep our seniors safe. Happy 55th birthday Medicare! 🥳 — PolitiTweet.org

You can read more about Salma and Payam’s story here⤵️ https://t.co/sGcrTKytw8 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The Administration’s Muslim Ban is a discriminatory policy that has ripped families apart. I’m so proud that our office was able to help reunite Payam with his wife, Salma, and their newborn son in the U.S. https://t.co/axXFh1i4UE — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Not only is it vital that the Administration provide school districts with the resources they need to educate kids safely this fall, but it’s past time (literally) for comprehensive oversight of the Paycheck Protection Program. https://t.co/uAgHlKrEDe — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

While the Administration has been threatening to cut off state and local funding for schools that don’t resume in-person classes this fall, for-profit schools have been siphoning off millions of taxpayer dollars from the Paycheck Protection Program. https://t.co/8DwSQMMFAG — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Existing law grants relief to parents who have to stay home with kids because schools and other childcare facilities are closed due to COVID-19. Today, I introduced legislation that would help families burdened by partial closures, too. Read more ⬇️ https://t.co/AqADAdcSER — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The Senate's proposed relief bill provides $30,000,000,000 to the defense industry, but $0 to local governments trying to keep our communities safe. Working families should be centered in pandemic relief bills, not corporations with sky high profits. (3/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

It’s not just Lockheed. @RaytheonTech and @generaldynamics have also seen their profits skyrocket in recent months. Yet, all three companies are requesting taxpayer-funded coronavirus relief. (2/3) https://t.co/WCu22w8RmR — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Last week, I pressed a @LockheedMartin VP on why the corporation is asking for a taxpayer-funded bailout because of the pandemic when 1. profits are through the roof, and 2. they owe taxpayers MILLIONS for unsafe and defective parts. (1/3) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m so excited to host a town hall with my dear friend @LSongRichardson today at 6 PM PDT on Facebook Live. We’ll be discussing how racial inequity is perpetuated by our criminal justice system, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, and more. I hope you’ll be able to join us. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Taxpayers are paying for a vaccine, but there’s no guarantee it’ll be affordable for them, or even exist? @PeterWelch and I are demanding @SecAzar provide transparency and oversight of the BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars awarded to pharmaceutical companies. https://t.co/IEx2c9AQ8b — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

So the Trump Administration’s plan to develop a safe and affordable vaccine is to *checks notes* hand billions of taxpayer dollars to Big Pharma without putting any accountability measures in place? https://t.co/jML9X3RXUl — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As we reflect on John Lewis' life and legacy this week, let's remember the tremendous body of work he was dedicated to. John was not just a civil rights giant, but a gun violence prevention advocate and kind soul who met every challenge with grit and grace. Rest in power, John. — PolitiTweet.org
