I’ve heard stories from entrepreneurs in the 45th District about how they’re unable to grow their small businesses and teachers about how they’re unable to enrich their classrooms, because of the Trump tax law. (3/?) Read these stories: https://t.co/rWpvzjjaZR — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, taxes on many members of our community went up. Orange County families are being unfairly double-taxed, because the Trump Administration capped the State and Local Tax deduction, even as corporations have collectively paid at least $100 billion less in taxes. (2/?) — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s talk about this. (thread) In 2017, Americans were promised by large corporations that if we slashed their taxes, they’d invest it. In the plot twist of the century, it turns out they started to pocket the money instead. So yes, they lied. https://t.co/UhyI1SOcHa — PolitiTweet.org

@brianneg78 It’s ridiculous that limit hasn’t changed since the 1980s. I’ve introduced bipartisan legislation that would adjust the limit on dependent care FSAs to account for inflation. Read more: https://t.co/hGBja2Ydyf — PolitiTweet.org

On #WorldDiabetesDay, I’m thinking of the Orange County families with loved ones living with diabetes, who aren’t getting what they’re paying for in health coverage. Earlier this year, I hosted a roundtable discussion on diabetes because the costs for treatment are far too high. https://t.co/LrlwlfRwk8 — PolitiTweet.org

That's why I'm introducing the bipartisan FAIR Leave Act. This commonsense bill closes a loophole to ensure that married individuals aren’t unfairly penalized from receiving their family leave if they work for the same employer. https://t.co/Xzvlu9Pkjt — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Like so many Americans, I'm a working mom who knows just how challenging it can be to balance work and family. Being a working parent already isn't easy, and unfair family leave policies don't make it any easier. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Important work by @TICAS_org. Predatory colleges manipulate data to downplay the true number of students who graduate from their programs and then default on their student loans. That’s why I introduced a bill to tighten the math schools must use to calculate this metric. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

My heart breaks for our neighbors in Santa Clarita and our children, who have to grow up in a world where they can't go to school without fear. This. Must. End. It is past time for our Senate and our President to say #EnoughIsEnough. They can start by passing H.R.8 into law. — PolitiTweet.org

As a UC Irvine professor, I’ve witnessed up close and personal the tenacity and compassion of young people in our community. Can’t wait to see what these leaders do in years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Earlier this year, I called out EPA for its lack of transparency in fast-tracking a new regulation to make it easier for bad actors to pollute in secret. But when big corporations stand to benefit, suddenly transparency for the public is the top concern? https://t.co/9AWKCXTs38 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

California is on fire. So are @EPAAWheeler’s pants for his lie that his EPA is “committed to the highest quality science.” The claim that this change is for transparency is laughable, but the resulting harm to our health and environment is far from funny. https://t.co/x4PvetVvGh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m standing with our #Dreamers today as the Supreme Court hears arguments that could decide the fate of #DACA. As a professor at UCI, I’m proud that the University of California is arguing this case for our families, neighborhoods, and communities. #HomeIsHere #UC4DACA — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

We must match our words of gratitude with action. We should make sure our brave veterans and their families receive the care they deserve every day of the year. I have fought for funds to take on veteran mental health and veteran homeless, and I’ll keep pushing. https://t.co/2xliUQ62Qu — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I was proud to join @City_of_Irvine for a #VeteransDay ceremony honoring the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. To our troops, past and present, and to our military and veteran families, thank you. https://t.co/QkpKwtsHc0 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Here in California, we know how important emergency preparedness and relief can be for our communities. I was thrilled to see so many turn out for our townhall discussion tonight in Mission Viejo with @DrLucyJones about disaster safety and other issues important to OC families. https://t.co/jCLKnerCYx — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Getting Congress working for working people starts with reflecting the diversity of people we represent. I’m proud that my bill to help achieve this goal recently passed the House with bipartisan support. This is a first step, and there’s more to come. https://t.co/LiC78VDDG3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As a first time elected official, I came to Washington willing to question the ways it isn’t working. One huge thing is that Congress just doesn’t look like America. America: ~50% women Congress: <25% women America: millions of single parents raising young kids Congress: one 🙋🏻‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

There isn’t a small enough violin in the world to play this sad song. Let’s talk when you’ve had to clip coupons to afford your kid’s sneakers or repairs to the minivan. Millions of Americans are doing more than just “a little math” every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

ICYMI: I sounded the alarm in August after seeing the same warning signs in cloud servicing that were also present leading up to the 2008 crisis. I called on our regulators to look into what online data storage means for our financial system. https://t.co/NWm4hw2lOU — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Our nation’s top financial regulators are scheduled to meet tomorrow, and a discussion of cloud service providers is on their agenda. I’m glad to see them stepping up after I called for an investigation of this issue in August. https://t.co/I0YnW9bMDC — PolitiTweet.org

Your life seems so hard 🎻 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The American people want accountability, not excuses. The public should be able to comment on new regulations before they go into effect. EPA should go back to the drawing board and give my constituents and all Americans the transparency they deserve. https://t.co/nnPmH22Prm — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Earlier this year, I called out @EPA for their new regulation that would make it easier for polluters to overturn environmental protections in secret. They said that this change was congressionally mandated, but their response last week shows otherwise. https://t.co/LrR3nIzptL — PolitiTweet.org

@SallyAlbright @ThomB01 @moshimisen @artist4ever @jesserker I write my own questions, and I don't take orders about what to ask. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I was proud to support the Climate Action Now Act, which would honor our commitment to reduce pollution. That bill passed with my amendment to recognize the importance of entrepreneurs & universities in making the U.S. a global leader on clean technology. https://t.co/a9f4K8lnNf — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

A step in the complete wrong direction. Our kids and our communities deserve so much better. Climate change is real, it’s urgent, and it demands action. https://t.co/vI2ReHEaRt — PolitiTweet.org

Our neighbor Michael Nguyen—a loving husband & father, an active church member, and a proud American citizen—remains imprisoned in Vietnam. His appeal is this week. It’s time for him to come home. https://t.co/E78W8dJV1c — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Many have asked if I ever heard back from Jamie Dimon. Hear my update with @Lawrence about what I received in response and why (spoiler alert!) it was completely insufficient. https://t.co/jaHMx2riMJ — PolitiTweet.org
