You probably haven't heard of Merit Systems Protection Board. This agency is supposed to protect federal workers, including whistleblowers, and has a budget of $42M—but with 0 board members, they've adjudicated 0 cases. With my whiteboard, I questioned this use of tax dollars. https://t.co/cIAjf7uJeh
33/x I did speak up during this meeting to emphasize how desperately and urgently families need help. Watch https://t.co/sUGh1YDzJk QT @RepKatiePorter: My message during today's @OversightDems meeting: Americans need help. It doesn’t matter if they’re conservative o… https://t.co/E4GCHD10tu)
32/x We have now passed 8 hours in this mark up, so I'll give a little bit of a confession... This is probably the fewest words per hour that I have spoken. It’s been nothing but “yes” or “no,” and we all know that is just not like me.
29/x Rep. Comer just lauded his “colleague from Florida who ran to fight for taxpayers of Florida.” He was referring to Rep. Nancy Mace, who represents South Carolina.
This is exactly why I introduced legislation to make it easier for local governments to send mental health professionals instead of police when 911 is called for a mental health emergency. We should connect those in crisis to care, not throw them in jail. https://t.co/lg5jneNt68 QT @RepKatiePorter: Having a mental illness is not a crime, and we have to stop treating it like one. Today, I introduced a bill that w… https://t.co/TrVHK48Upn)
Roughly 1 in 4 fatal police encounters end the life of a someone with mental illness, so it’s no surprise that this program is saving lives. Sending healthcare professionals—not police—when someone is experiencing a mental health crisis makes our communities safer for all.

The Postal Service is one of our greatest civic institutions—many depend on it to run businesses, get medication, and stay connected to loved ones. Today, I joined the local president of @APWUnational to tour a @USPS facility and learn more about their work and how to support it. https://t.co/nFz3Ai5jo7
I’m so impressed by our young people, including our talented @UCIrvine students. In October, @asuci invited me to chat about my policy priorities during a virtual town hall. We discussed the college affordability crisis, tackling climate change, and more. https://t.co/UPosoZyvod QT @RepKatiePorter: Our young people have shown incredible tenacity and strength during this unprecedented time.

Since the start of the pandemic, our office has worked tirelessly to have safe conversations with members of our community. Back in July, we hosted one of our pandemic telephone town halls to answer questions from Orange County families about COVID-19. https://t.co/hxmHc2bhiK QT @RepKatiePorter: I promised to keep #CA45 residents up to date about what’s happening with the coronavirus outbreak.

We don't get anywhere by Congressmembers acting like they're special. Here's my truth: I'm a single working mom, I've had problems while juggling work and family during this pandemic, and I know the government isn't doing enough to help working families. https://t.co/emnaOstJNC
I sounded the alarm in April with a report detailing the Administration’s gross mismanagement of our personal protective equipment supply, including increased exports in the early months of 2020 when we should’ve been preparing for this pandemic. Read it: https://t.co/8si6IYCYyc
For months, our medical supply manufacturers haven’t what they need to ramp up N95 mask production, and it’s because the Administration failed to make critical investments to ramp up capacity and allowed exports of a key material. https://t.co/qDhSSQR5dr
