Today I joined 213 of my House colleagues to call on @senatemajldr to bring the Senate back into session to pass much-needed gun violence prevention legislation. The American people deserve more than words; this moment demands action. #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/94sUIoiKt9 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As we engage in a national conversation about the epidemic of gun violence in our country, I want to make my position clear. As I told @billmaher two months ago, taking action to reduce preventable gun deaths is the right thing to do. #EnoughIsEnough https://t.co/VHqwitsDTW — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I am heartened that @usedgov made the right decision & chose to maintain federal aid for 80,000 students in CA. Last week, I led 18 of my colleagues calling on @BetsyDeVosED not to take aid away from our students. https://t.co/4bkQfnU4Fd — PolitiTweet.org

Asking again for friends in Dayton, El Paso, Gilroy, and across the country >> https://t.co/cu01ujc7Pb — PolitiTweet.org

No words. #Dayton — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Wow! Thank you to everyone who came out to my Coffee with Katie events in Lake Forest and Tustin. I know that leading begins with listening, and that means staying engaged with the people of the 45th District. https://t.co/THrKibRc64 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

So again I ask: when will the Senate vote on common-sense, bipartisan legislation to prevent gun violence? And will the President throw his support behind #HR8 and #HR1112 before more lives are lost? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Gun violence is so common in the United States that 3 survivors of the #Gilroy shooting also survived the 2017 shooting in Las Vegas. https://t.co/YcXpgtqwjd — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The numbers are shocking, but we must also remember that each life lost to gun violence is not just a statistic. Their loved ones will never see them again. And survivors may endure lifetimes of physical and mental trauma. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

But let’s be clear: these two incidents weren’t even the only two mass shootings in the past 7 days. See for yourself >> https://t.co/M1GoD25QDI — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Not even one week later, another tragic mass shooting. I am thinking of our fellow Americans in #ElPaso. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I don't like to make a habit of responding to the President's tweets, but this one is particularly egregious. In Orange County, we value family, home, safety, and civility. Celebrating the robbery of someone's home is immoral, full stop. https://t.co/juAgpL1nTv — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Very exciting visit to @chocchildrens today, where I not only learned about the kinds of care they’re providing to kids in our community but I also met a sharp girl who shares something in common with me. WATCH (with sound on) ⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/NLCxh3W6Ch — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you for participating in our discussion - excited to partner with you! — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Thanks for hosting us! The federal government uses census data to get communities the resources they need, and historically, Californians have been undercounted. That's why it's so important that we have all hands on deck to ensure every resident of Orange County is counted. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

One week *to the day* after Equifax announced its settlement terms. It’s clear corporations won’t clean up their acts on their own. We need to create an enforceable federal data privacy standard, so I’m drafting that bill. https://t.co/ik80hyY2z0 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

As we learn more about what happened at Gilroy, my heart is with the victims and their loved ones. It's been over 5 months since the House passed #HR8 and #HR1112 to expand and enhance our background check system. When will this legislation receive a vote in the Senate? — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m proud to bring my experiences as a lawyer, a professor, and a mom to my work in Congress, as I fight for the people of the 45th District and hold bad actors accountable. Watch me explain ⬇️⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

If you really want to #MakeEquifaxPay, claim the 10 years of free credit monitoring (value = $2,000) not the cash. No matter what, the company has to fund credit monitoring for every claimant. To see if you qualify, visit: https://t.co/Pc2dw2fdxq — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

The #Equifax class action settlement demonstrates why we need stronger laws to protect consumers. You may have heard that you can claim $125. However, the fund for those claims is limited and won’t be divvied up until January. The amount you receive could be much lower than $125. — PolitiTweet.org

I will continue to advocate for Michael’s rapid return to the United States and reunification with his family. He is my constituent and an American citizen, and I will continue to be a voice for him. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I was humbled to introduce CA-45 resident Helen Nguyen at a @HouseForeign hearing today, whose husband Michael has been detained in Vietnam for over a year for allegedly acting against the government. I know how hard it's been for her and her four daughters without Michael. https://t.co/OGWQH5vyTs — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #NationalInternDay! Today, I'm celebrating the wonderful young people who have helped me serve the people of the 45th District. If you or someone you know is interested in interning in our DC or OC offices, more information is on my website at https://t.co/FKtGxPJmjB. https://t.co/2QimRG4DgC — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I’m tired of watching corporations put profits before patients. Patient assistance programs can be beneficial, but it appears that American Kidney Fund has put its donors’ interests ahead of the patients it’s supposed to protect. Read my full letter here: https://t.co/AxNvhoKUjk — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

Experts agree that a kidney transplant offers the best outcome for an individual with kidney disease, but this hurts the profits of dialysis providers, especially if they are receiving high payments from commercial insurers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I've heard complaints from patients that the largest dialysis providers are using their financial influence over a patient assistance organization, the American Kidney Fund, to push patients toward more expensive insurance AND away from transplants. https://t.co/aed12duS0C — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Katie Porter @RepKatiePorter

I promised OC families that I'd fight to drive down healthcare costs and improve the quality of care. Today I called on @HHSGov to investigate corrupt practices in the dialysis industry that are putting patients’ lives at risk and making care more expensive. — PolitiTweet.org
