Markup (noun): What a corporation charges consumers on top of production costs, to generate profit. Example: The biggest recorded year for markups was 2021. https://t.co/LcmeOEhRGt — PolitiTweet.org

Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying. https://t.co/RZr5O0X4oJ — PolitiTweet.org

The federal government has begun accepting applications for student debt relief. Apply on the official website at https://t.co/C89sEkmB6X, and do not give out your personal information on other sites claiming to be affiliated with this program. — PolitiTweet.org

The biggest Medicare Advantage plans consistently defraud Medicare and skimp on care for seniors. Yet, @CMSGov rewards these bad actors with bigger taxpayer contracts each year. I've been leading the fight to rein in overpayments and beef up transparency. https://t.co/rfz4IWy7N4 — PolitiTweet.org

I'm glad that the governments of Israel and Lebanon recently resolved a maritime border dispute that dates backs decades. This U.S.-led negotiation shows the power of diplomacy, especially when the U.S. is in the room. This historic step will decrease tension in the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Earlier this year, I called out a loophole that makes ACA insurance more expensive for certain families. I’m glad that a fix for this “family glitch” was finalized today, which will bring down health care costs for a million Americans. https://t.co/gKFqDKed9h — PolitiTweet.org

Did you know that today is Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day? I'm proud to represent a district that leads on innovation, and this week, I had the opportunity to learn from the researchers at @APEPuci about the cutting-edge work happening at the UCI National Fuel Cell Research Center. https://t.co/fNM6vqiGWg — PolitiTweet.org

During #HispanicHeritageMonth, we celebrate the contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans. I have proudly met with groups like the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to support Hispanic entrepreneurs, who enrich our communities and strengthen our economy. https://t.co/qxeEeLm9Bb — PolitiTweet.org

The climate crisis is a health crisis. In the past decade, extreme heat has killed 3,900 Californians. Green investments in the Inflation Reduction Act will keep us safe. https://t.co/tL3qvnZFsC — PolitiTweet.org

I'm sending good wishes to everyone observing #YomKippur. I hope you enjoy meaningful reflection on this holy day. G'mar Chatima Tova! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I am glad that @WhiteHouse acknowledged, as part of last week's Pacific Islands Summit, the need to address our country's nuclear legacy. I've chaired multiple hearings on this and introduced a resolution to formally apologize for past wrongs. This is an important step forward. https://t.co/W7P2FWb9lC — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The Inflation Reduction Act protects the planet—and families' pocketbooks. New tax credits and rebates will help families install energy-efficient products, saving them money on utilities while reducing strain on our electrical grid. https://t.co/2xfzwT4Zmr — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Big Oil is back on its price gouging BS, and @POTUS is right to call it out. The House passed my Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevent Act with @RepKimSchrier to put an end to this corporate abuse. The Senate must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Mental health challenges shouldn't hold young people back from getting their educations. My Student Mental Health Rights Act helps bring colleges and universities into compliance with mental health protections. It just passed the House as part of youth mental health legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My colleagues @RepDianaDeGette, @RepLloydDoggett, and @janschakowsky are helping me lead this effort. Read more about our Medicare Advantage Consumer Protection and Transparency Act >> https://t.co/7KuCMRk6TS — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Right now, private insurers offering plans through Medicare can escape scrutiny because watchdogs and lawmakers don't have the data we need to conduct oversight. This deprives patients of care and cheats taxpayers. My new bill strengthens transparency in Medicare Advantage. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Unchecked monopoly power enables price gouging and corporate abuse. I'm glad the House will vote this week on the Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act, a bipartisan bill I've backed to strengthen antitrust enforcement, empower watchdogs, and lower prices for families. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

In September, we raise awareness for the 22 million Americans in recovery and those still struggling. I'm proud the House passed my bill to send health professionals when 911 is called for someone experiencing a substance use crisis. #CongressGoesPurple #NationalRecoveryMonth https://t.co/FKfs1JoFhn — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Each month, I'm one of just a few Congressmembers to post a list of the meetings I took in my official capacity. Today, I introduced legislation requiring my colleagues to do the same. The American people deserve transparency on how we're spending our time working for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

L'Shanah Tova to everyone celebrating in Orange County and across the country. I hope you enjoy peace, joy, and good health in the year to come. #RoshHashanah — PolitiTweet.org

Mahsa Amini was senselessly murdered by Iran’s “morality” police last week. And now, the state is brutally cracking down on its own citizens protesting for their freedom. I stand in solidarity with the brave women and allies who are fighting for their rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

One in five 911 calls involves someone experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. One in four fatal police encounters ends the life of someone with a severe mental illness. I'm proud to work with @RepSteel, @RepPressley, @RepCardenas, and @RepMGS to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The House just passed my bipartisan Mental Health Justice Act! This bill will save lives and keep us safe by empowering state and local governments to send trained mental health professionals instead of police when 911 is called for someone experiencing a mental health crisis. https://t.co/N6IfQopchh — PolitiTweet.org

Today is National #POWMIA Recognition Day. Watch my speech on the House floor honoring the heroism and sacrifice of the more than 81,000 troops who have been designated as prisoners of war or missing in action. ⬇️ https://t.co/hlJluMvXjx — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

This week, the House passed the Whistleblower Protection Improvement Act, which would strengthen safeguards for federal employees who report wrongdoing. I’m proud this bill included my amendment to hold watchdogs accountable when they take too long to investigate complaints. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Extreme heat is the leading cause of weather-related death in the United States. Heat waves have also been linked to slower economic growth, which hurts every American—regardless of where they live. We need to continue taking bold action on climate. https://t.co/AtUwJmtZV1 — PolitiTweet.org
