As an educator myself, I stand with our country’s teachers. Teachers keep our kids safe; it’s now our responsibility to equip teachers with the tools they need to return to the classroom without risking their health – or their lives. https://t.co/AHIxl8WREA — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow, I'm hosting a town hall with @LSongRichardson about racial justice and policing. Equality and justice are two of our country's core principles; the Justice in Policing Act would bring us much closer to ensuring these rights for all. Join us at 6 PM PDT on FB Live. https://t.co/ZPLm32AQsU — PolitiTweet.org

.@BetsyDeVosED should’ve begun laying the groundwork for the safe reopening of schools back in March. Instead, the Trump Administration dragged its feet while school districts remained in limbo. It’s July 27th, and we still do not have clear and comprehensive guidance on testing. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I'm proud that the House passed legislation to establish the National Museum of the American Latino in the Smithsonian Institution. Our community is home to a thriving Latinx population, and we ought to honor their history and celebrate their incredible contributions. — PolitiTweet.org

TODAY: I’m hosting a town hall to update Orange County families on how I’m fighting to fix our healthcare system and hold healthcare companies accountable during the COVID-19 crisis. Join me today at 5 PM PT by visiting https://t.co/rzIQKQEwuG or dialing 855-962-1016. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only should the federal government invest in building new homes; we need to make sure that people can afford to live in them. Housing is a human right, and it’s critical that Americans have access to safe, consistent, and affordable shelter. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m pretty thrilled too, Anne! This provision holds the federal government accountable by limiting who can serve as an “acting” Inspector General and for how long. IGs provide critical oversight of the Pentagon. My amendment helps make sure they’re actually qualified for the job. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The Trump Administration awarded $6.6 BILLION in taxpayer money to private companies for the development of a COVID-19 vaccine. My colleagues and I are asking @SecAzar how the Administration plans to make the vaccine affordable for all, considering the public paid to develop it. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

.@SenKamalaHarris and I wrote the Trump Administration weeks ago about the urgent need for guidance on how to reopen schools *safely*. It’s July 24th, and they STILL haven’t provided clear and comprehensive requirements based on scientific data. https://t.co/wiqZqRcIRC — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I asked @CDCDirector and @BetsyDeVosED to consult teachers, parents, and public health experts when determining how to reopen schools safely. This guidance was apparently written by people who won’t ever have to set foot in a school during a pandemic. https://t.co/7j34AvOTdq — PolitiTweet.org

Our national parks help preserve California’s natural landscapes for all to enjoy. I was proud to vote for the Great America Outdoors Act, which would protect our public lands (like Joshua Tree National Park!) for years to come. 📸: National Park Service https://t.co/I1CuKXXT6G — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I asked the VP of @LockheedMartin why they’re asking for taxpayer-funded COVID-19 relief when they’ve made MORE money during this pandemic than during normal times. His response? Other companies are doing it. Here’s my suggestion: use your extra profits to protect your workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Kids are not immune from the coronavirus. The federal government must communicate with school districts on how to educate students safely this school year. We need resources. We need testing. We need leadership. https://t.co/wiqZqRukgc — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My heart breaks for the Cheng family. My kids are around the same age as Maxx was when he tragically passed away last week. I cannot imagine the pain being felt by the Cheng family and the Claremont community right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I am furious. Maxx was a healthy eighth grader who swam competitively. This tragedy could have been avoided had the Trump Administration not been derelict in its duty to take COVID-19 seriously in January and work around the clock to keep families safe. https://t.co/6I8pNZNKZV — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The Administration’s Muslim Ban has ripped families apart. It has separated husbands from wives, mothers from children, and adults from their dying parents. I'm proud to stand in solidarity with the Muslim community and vote to pass @RepJudyChu's NO BAN Act. — PolitiTweet.org

This week from @LockheedMartin... Monday: Tell the White House you need a bailout because of COVID-19 Tuesday: Announce profits are up and that you've made $3.5 billion so far this year Wednesday: Fail to answer Congress' questions about why you should get taxpayer dollars ⬇️ https://t.co/HMowwAEHRm — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Imagine we can prevent COVID-19 infection with an injection before a vaccine is widely available, but private companies don't want to pay for research on it. Stop imagining. It's real, and @CongressmanRaja & I want the Administration to fund this research that could save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm committed to fighting for working families, not special interests. Whenever I see corporate abuse, I’m going to call it out. I used my whiteboard to press @jpmorgan CEO Jamie Dimon on how a single mom could afford to work at his bank for $16.50/hr. https://t.co/RuAtVWF4ZQ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I know this graphic is from 2013, but the cost of living has only gone up in the past 7 years. @McDonalds' CEO makes $18 MILLION a year, while the median employee earns just $9,291 per year. https://t.co/yCUp4FgeQh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

$20 for health insurance, $600 for rent, and $0 for food per month. @McDonalds and @Visa, do I really need to get my whiteboard and break down how unrealistic this budget is? — PolitiTweet.org

.@usedgov is required to provide relief for student borrowers who’ve been defrauded by predatory for-profit colleges. I’ve pressed @BetsyDeVos before, but she still refuses to help these students. I’m not letting up. @RepLucyMcBath and I are calling her out for breaking the law: https://t.co/mr8bvcPeqd — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Does it make any sense to tell student borrowers they’ve been defrauded but not provide them loan relief? Well that’s what @BetsyDevos is doing. https://t.co/ag0CPIFbxG — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m not afraid to call out companies that are putting their employees (and frankly, our entire community) at risk. I'm standing with @CWAUnion technicians and calling on CEO Bernie Han to provide appropriate PPE and maintain worker protections during this uncertain time. https://t.co/IEvkH9GVWE — PolitiTweet.org

Frontier Communications’ website boasts that it is committed to putting customers and workers first. And yet, @FrontierCorp refuses to universally provide face masks and hand sanitizer to their employees, many of whom enter multiple homes and businesses a day.

As I stare into my cupboard and contemplate dinner, my 12-year old son walks by and says, “Mom, I’d really like try more casseroles.” Now, I don’t have a favorite child, but I’m just sayin’... https://t.co/KAdK2C9tI9 — PolitiTweet.org
