That’s why I introduced legislation to bring taxpayer dollars back to the people, which passed the House today as part of H.R. 3. My Freedom from Price Gouging Act recovers taxpayer dollars from Big Pharma when they try to hike their drug prices unnecessarily. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Claims that drug price negotiation will devastate research are nothing but fearmongering—we've got to stop repeating Big Pharma’s talking points. Based on data from a survey of PhRMA’s own member companies, 1 in 3 dollars spent on drug research comes from American taxpayers. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
I promised Orange County families I would work to lower drug prices. That requires a strong plan that involves negotiating fair prices for the American people. Today, the House passed H.R. 3, the Lower Drug Costs Now Act, which would do just that. — PolitiTweet.org

I feel blessed that so many people wanted to join the conversation for our 12th townhall-style event of the year! Before heading to the airport to fly back to Orange County, I wanted to say a quick thank you for your enthusiasm. https://t.co/l7bmsx5LFN — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
I spotlighted the troubling parallels between student loans and the subprime mortgage crisis at a hearing in June. It doesn't bring me joy to be correct about this. We've got to do something. https://t.co/gTXO7TewU1 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
I was a consumer protection attorney before I came to Congress. I've talked to families before, during, and after the subprime mortgage crisis. We're seeing the same warning signs with student loans today; more policymakers need to open their eyes. https://t.co/rQudKtEbno — PolitiTweet.org

A short gap in dialysis coverage or care can be devastating, if not life-threatening. I promised to protect patients, and I want Californians on dialysis to know I’m fighting for them. Read more about this issue, why it matters, and what I’m doing >> https://t.co/XWvcncDHbh — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
.@KidneyFund is threatening to abandon California dialysis patients to skirt transparency protections that benefit patients. I’m leading an effort, joined by @SenFeinstein, @SenKamalaHarris, and 12 House colleagues from our state, to urge this organization to put patients first. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
In fact, researchers found that Big Pharma would still be the most profitable industry sector even with $1 trillion less in sales. They could hold this status while maintaining current research investments. This is corporate abuse, plain and simple. https://t.co/YUaXpfCHLq — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
MYTH: Big Pharma says they need sky high prescription drug prices to fund more research REALITY: 9 in 10 big pharmaceutical companies spend less on research than marketing, sales, and overhead #PutPatientsFirst #LowerDrugCosts — PolitiTweet.org

Beginning in January 2019, Americans with high healthcare costs can only deduct medical expenses from their taxes if these expenses exceed 10% of their income. I’m calling on leaders of both parties to reinstate the 7.5% income threshold we had before. https://t.co/T1nhA9lqzD — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
🚨🚨🚨 Unless Congress acts before the end of the year, Americans with high out-of-pocket medical expenses—older adults, people with disabilities, and people with chronic illnesses—could face additional costs come Tax Day. I’m leading the charge to stop this. — PolitiTweet.org
Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter
Earlier this year, I sent Wells Fargo a letter calling them out for deceptively collecting potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in service fees from consumers. This is an appropriate first step to take responsibility for the bank’s many past abuses. https://t.co/ayALETNEsF — PolitiTweet.org

After I wrote to them asking for more information, Wells Fargo confirmed to me this week that millions of customers will be getting the refunds they’re owed. Be on the lookout for automatic refunds to your deposit accounts or a check in the mail. https://t.co/PlfMjI6Mcq — PolitiTweet.org

The Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) is responsible for preventing another financial crisis and had 36 employees at its peak. Today, I asked Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin how many people work at FSOC today. It took him two minutes to produce the answer: ~10 https://t.co/JQViyR4aOm — PolitiTweet.org

If top officials or their families have foreign business dealings, it raises corruption concerns and national security concerns. Americans deserve to know if their officials have personal financial interests. Proud to work with @RepMaxRose on this bill to increase accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I sat down with CA-45 residents @purpose2inspire before their testimony before @HouseSmallBiz.

35% got it: I wasn’t a vending machine repairer, though an aptitude test I took as a kid said it was my best-fit career. This and more in my discussion with @chrislhayes on #WITHPod. A bonus fun fact: I was costumer designer for the 1997 #MacysDayParade! https://t.co/vnnxLGID9j — PolitiTweet.org

2. A robust free press, particularly independent journalists doing investigations and holding people in power accountable. Now more than ever, their contributions to our republic could not be more necessary. Thinking also about the folks at @OCWeekly and wishing them the best. — PolitiTweet.org
