@ddayen 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ I’ve been talking about this, and I don’t think I’m nobody: https://t.co/YlTkuFuJNt — PolitiTweet.org

I’m LIVE here on Twitter with @morethanmySLE to talk about mental health care during this pandemic. https://t.co/ebLXZZXUF0 — PolitiTweet.org

I took some time to listen to the moving testimony provided by Philonise Floyd, George's brother, at a hearing today, and I hope you will, too. Philonise: I commend you for your strength in sharing your story, and I know it is difficult to relive this trauma. I stand with you. https://t.co/Jb53ZlBamG — PolitiTweet.org

NOW: I am co-chairing a hearing about the need for robust, real-time oversight on how we spend taxpayer dollars on coronavirus relief. We need transparency and accountability to make sure that money goes to help working families and not line the pockets of corporate executives. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

When @SenKamalaHarris appointed me to be California’s watchdog over big banks, I saw how working families wouldn’t get help unless we held special interests accountable. Today, we're calling on Congressional leaders to prioritize oversight of the coronavirus corporate bailout. https://t.co/jUYxiGE8Cg — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Should generals be allowed to retire and immediately lobby the Pentagon to give military weapons to local police? @EsperDoD is asking Congress to make that legal in this year's #NDAA. @RepSpeier and I write in @lawfareblog about why that's a terrible idea: https://t.co/DsrZYbKPBJ — PolitiTweet.org

Get this: @US_FDA gave "approval" to antibody tests without proper scientific vetting. Patients looking to the FDA for guidance are no better off than if they just played roulette. At a hearing today, I brought out a Wheel of Antibody Tests to show how ridiculous this is: https://t.co/VuZSskARVw — PolitiTweet.org

The movement we’re seeing isn’t about one act of police brutality; it’s about systemic racism in America. On what would’ve been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday, we must commit to enacting reforms at every single level of government to protect Black lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m backing a resolution by @RepPressley, @Ilhan, @RepKarenBass, & @RepBarbaraLee to condemn police brutality and call for reforms. We cannot tolerate officers’ continued failure to keep people safe in their custody or police in ways that reinforce racial injustices. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Here’s a start of what Congress can do to address the epidemic of police brutality: • Create a national database of officers who've used excessive force and ban their hiring • Stop giving military weapons to police departments • Require transparency in police records & budgets — PolitiTweet.org

No American is above the law. Every officer involved in the murder of George Floyd must be brought to justice. But that is not enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

This is exactly why I’m pushing @SecAzar and @SeemaCMS to deliver real oversight of organ procurement organizations. Currently, OPOs have little accountability—and their failures are putting patients like Tanya at grave risk. 👇👇 https://t.co/hEy8vUtBwh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

This #APAHM, we acknowledge the disturbing spike in anti-Asian racism tied to the #COVID_19 pandemic. Nobody should face harassment or violence due to their heritage—that’s why I worked with @RepGraceMeng on legislation to condemn bigotry and investigate hate crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

UnitedHealth's response to record earnings? Cutting doctors and nurses from their network, putting profits before patients and providers. It’s flat out wrong for the world's largest insurance company to pass costs on to families in the middle of a pandemic—I want answers. https://t.co/DlVccbycCI — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

@lane1208 Thank you for bringing this to my attention. In my career as a consumer advocate, I saw how scammers prey on older Americans, especially those living with dementia. I’m proud to be in Congress where I can help protect our seniors. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Under pressure from President Trump, @US_FDA gave the OK for a machine that sterilizes masks for healthcare workers, despite science that shows it might not protect our nurses and doctors. Political favors shouldn't come before patient and worker safety, so I'm investigating. https://t.co/GLDAOFbOEY — PolitiTweet.org

This #MemorialDay, I'm proud to join @MTOShahmaghsoud in delivering care packages and food to veterans and families in need. By serving others, we say thank you to the brave men and women who gave their lives defending our country. https://t.co/RdxWag1kpC — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing #EidMubarak to the families celebrating in Orange County and beyond! I was thrilled to (virtually) attend #AMWEC’s annual interfaith iftar this month, and I’m proud to represent a community that embodies the strength that comes from diversity. — PolitiTweet.org

The Governor is right. And local Republican and Democratic elected officials in #CA45 agree: we need federal help for our state and local governments. — PolitiTweet.org

@ratemyskyperoom My room may be bare, but my family is joyous and happy during a terrible time for our country. A trade I’d make any day. These cutie pies can hold me hostage anytime! https://t.co/les7U6UJzs — PolitiTweet.org

I urge his replacement to work with Congress on how our capitalist economy can create prosperity for everyone. https://t.co/ATmcAKABes — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As he leaves the @USOCC, let's remember Joseph Otting's legacy as tearing down a landmark anti-discrimination law and dismissing people who don't agree with him. https://t.co/gie0cVqgDC — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve pressed Mr. Dimon before on what he’s doing to make sure employees at his company can make ends meet. I’ll stay on this, because I know that workers are the backbone of our capitalist economy, which the coronavirus is attacking. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I am heartened to see that, after a year of thinking about it, @jpmorgan CEO Jamie Dimon agrees that workers at his company shouldn’t go hungry while he makes $31 million a year. — PolitiTweet.org
