For those interested in tuning in live, my questioning of Mr. Zuckerberg should begin in the next 15 minutes or so. — PolitiTweet.org

I've also introduced legislation that protects patients from unnecessary price spikes and recovers taxpayer dollars when pharmaceutical companies try to increase their profits by hiking prices. I'm going to stay on this for Orange County families. https://t.co/zpcl1BG8Gu — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I'm continuing to fight for effective policies that will bring down prescription drug costs. That's why I stood up to Dem leadership in a meeting this week to argue that we shouldn't limit the number of drugs that Medicare can negotiate the prices for. https://t.co/V25Cac0MVd — PolitiTweet.org

Let's not forget: earlier this year, this company argued in federal court that its data breach didn't harm consumers. This is why I hold their feet to the fire. https://t.co/WtCNi36Xow — PolitiTweet.org

These data security practices are beyond sloppy; honestly, my 11-year-old son would do a better job. Equifax ought to come explain itself to Congress. https://t.co/P6TWFZoZjn — PolitiTweet.org

Looking forward to my conversation with Mr. Zuckerberg tomorrow. https://t.co/CmQXuITUNr — PolitiTweet.org

Last time he was here, Secretary Carson came unprepared, then sent Oreos to my office after the hearing. In case there was any doubt this time around, he should feel free to skip the cookies; I really only want the answers. https://t.co/O5hdR46apN — PolitiTweet.org

Big week for @FSCDems: not only do we have Mark Zuckerberg on Wednesday, we also have HUD Secretary Ben Carson and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin coming in tomorrow. I'm hard at work doing research and formulating questions that the American people deserve answers to. — PolitiTweet.org

For those asking, this is a public hearing scheduled for 10am EST on October 23rd. As always, I’ll be studying before this hearing and thinking hard about the best questions to ask. You can stream the hearing here when it is live: https://t.co/LKuwu3LAy8 — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Zuckerberg pre-screened questions at a public event this week. Luckily, I have a chance to ask him tough questions on Wednesday. Are you a current/former Facebook employee or concerned citizen worried about FB & our democracy? Email me at [email protected] — PolitiTweet.org

One of the many things I love about the 45th District is that we have people of every political stripe in our community and we still come together in civil discourse. I talked more about this in a recent interview with @NewUniversity. Check it out ⬇️ https://t.co/GiW3xMq0Ts — PolitiTweet.org

The persistence of anti-LGBTQ bullying reminds us that we still have a lot of work to do to ensure all Americans have the freedom to be who they are and love who they love. Today and every day, I stand with our LGBTQ young people. Be yourself and live your truth! #SpiritDay — PolitiTweet.org

Wall Street lobbyists would prefer we be boring and put people to sleep. But Committee questions are meant to engage our constituents, and that’s what I try to do everyday! — PolitiTweet.org

The American people are smart! They care about being cheated, and they understand in their bones when bank practices are unfair. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

But here’s what: it serves special interests when they can make financial services seem boring, or make people feel like it’s too complicated for them to understand. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Bank lobbyists are griping about how I use props - that it’s too flashy and not meant to “provoke dialogue” (this is code for: you don’t play by *our* rules). — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m proud of the work I’m doing on the Financial Services Committee to hold Wall Street accountable. And I want to let you in on a secret (THREAD)... https://t.co/YtHwwkkYxM — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Cummings embodied some of our nation’s most cherished ideals with his moral clarity and political courage. I’m so fortunate to have had the chance, albeit brief, to serve with him in the House. My thoughts are with his family as we all mourn the loss of one of our best. — PolitiTweet.org

@CFPBDirector I'd like to address 2 objections to my questions: 1. The Director shouldn't be asked to do math. 2. She has staff who help. Instead of protecting consumers, @CFPB's "Your Money, Your Goals" program asks consumers to do their own math, and they don't have staff to do it for them. https://t.co/1W5zVe5NGr — PolitiTweet.org

A professor never comes to class unprepared. At a hearing today, I asked @CFPBDirector to do some math⁠—and I made sure to bring my Teacher's Manual. https://t.co/owimnVcNKX — PolitiTweet.org

Enrolling in healthcare coverage can help you better afford care. I know that plans aren’t perfect, and that the cost of care is still too high for so many. I promise to continue fighting to fix the broken pieces of the ACA here in Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Today is the first day of open enrollment for healthcare plans in California. Since 2014, the uninsured rate in California has fallen from 16% in 2013 to 7.2% last year. Still, nearly 3 million Californians remained uninsured. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

It’s time for Congress to be a little more nuanced. This places loves rules even when they’re not in the service of justice. See the last time this happened: https://t.co/U0wD8eg1iO In the meantime, I wanted to pull the curtain back & let Americans know I’ll keep pushing. (6/6) — PolitiTweet.org
