Today is #CoastalCleanupDay, one of California's largest volunteer events. My son and I picked up 148 pieces of trash in Trabuco Canyon alongside @OCCoastkeeper. As Paul said earlier, "All of this trash is truly polluting our natural resources. Keep Orange County clean!"

On #HungerActionDay, I want to highlight how the Child Tax Credit is helping families put food on the table. Census data shows that half of those who received this tax cut are using it to buy food. We need to make this help permanent. https://t.co/Y07KlgA1kK

It's #ConstitutionDay! AKA a chance to highlight my favorite Constitutional power: Oversight. Article One grants Congress all legislative powers, including the ability to verify government is working as it should. If you see a minivan with "OVRSITE" plates in OC today—say hi!

The American Rescue Plan makes it easier for low-income pregnant women and young kids to get nutritious food, but I'm concerned that families will go hungry again when this help expires in a few weeks. I broke down how this aid is helping families—and how it still falls short ⬇️

I want to extend my warmest wishes to all who are observing #YomKippur. For the Jewish community, this holy day is a time to reflect on the past and recommit to peace and kindness in the future. G'mar Chatima Tovah.

Today marks the start of #HispanicHeritageMonth. I'm proud to represent a district where nearly one in five of our neighbors has Hispanic or Latino ancestry. This diversity makes our community stronger.

As part of the Build Back Better budget, Medicare should be able to negotiate drug prices. This would: 💰 Save $600B in taxpayer dollars 💊 Lower the cost of prescription drugs 🔬 Allow our health agencies to spend more money on research #WeNeedHR3

so true bestie 🙌 https://t.co/ai9rDHFyKB

The lack of affordable child care is creating a productivity crisis. Millions aren't fully participating in the workforce due to soaring child care costs, and that's making it harder for businesses—both large and small—that need workers. Congress needs to invest in child care.

I'm not afraid to call out corporate abuse, especially when families' health is on the line. Sky-high drug prices are killing patients and costing taxpayers billions. Big Pharma owes us all an explanation, and I'm going to keep demanding one alongside allies like @ProtectOurCare.

I visited the U.S.-Mexico border to listen and to learn. Partisan pundits are no substitute for seeing for yourself. (Disclaimer: the border is not a monolith. The border in California is different from TX or AZ—in geography, in history, and in economy.) THREAD on what I saw. ⬇️

We all benefit when our best talent is participating in the workforce. But right now, parents—especially women—are being forced out due to the lack of affordable child care options. If we want a strong economy, we need to invest in making child care affordable for all families.

I joined @OCFireAuthority to remember those we lost 20 years ago, and to honor the first responders who showed incredible heroism that day. https://t.co/ktPFJ0WVaV

Twenty years later, my heart still aches for the lives lost on 9/11, their loved ones, and the first responders who risked everything to get people to safety. We honor these Americans by coming together, being kind, and pledging to #NeverForget.

The skyrocketing costs of child care are hurting our economy. Women's workforce participation is at a 30-year low, with many women citing few child care options. I'm fighting to cap child care expenses at 7% of income, which would help more parents participate in the workforce.

Today is ELECTION DAY for the 2021 California Gubernatorial Recall Election! You may return your ballot at a ballot drop box or visit any Vote Center to register, drop off your ballot, or vote in-person until 8pm tonight. Visit https://t.co/LXYHcqYrh9 for more info.

JOIN US: Wednesday, Sept. 8th @ 12:45PM EST for a conversation about protecting our public lands, featuring Maj. Gen. (Ret.) @PaulDEaton52 and @RepKatiePorter!

Child care doesn't just help families with kids; it helps all of us by making it easier for parents to fully participate in our workforce. Other countries have invested in child care because they know it boosts their economies. The U.S. needs to catch up. https://t.co/VjhAD6XqLX

Join @RepKatiePorter and #WeDemandMore coalition for a virtual roundtable on how we can #BuildBackBetter for parents, families & caregivers on Sept 7 @ 11am PST/2pm EST. Sign up here: https://t.co/SENwxYAoSi

We have a duty to do everything we can to help those who helped us. @RepMalinowski, @RepAndyKimNJ & I are leading this appeal to @POTUS to evacuate all who are eligible at the Kabul airport & use all means necessary to evacuate all remaining allies in coordination with NGOs.

Congratulations @lizshuler on being the next President — and first woman — to lead the @AFLCIO! There is no one better to carry on Richard's legacy, or lead the movement for workers' rights. Together, we're going to pass the PRO Act, raise the wage, and build back better. 🤝

A report from @RepKatiePorter identified potentially harmful behavior by VA home loan lenders. In response, @RepMikeLevin & 5 other Committee members sent a letter asking @SecVetAffairs to conduct a review of Rep. Porter's report & discern how we can protect veterans from harm. https://t.co/1YFUVHVG4v

My colleagues and I are asking @DeptVetAffairs and other agencies to review the potentially harmful behavior of some VA home loan lenders, identified in a report released by @RepKatiePorter today. These findings warrant attention and review. https://t.co/Bd6wH6a9fm

When parents don't have child care, they can't go to work. When businesses don't have employees, it impacts their bottom line. Congress: America's economic success depends on whether families can access the early learning and care options they need. #SolveChildCare

.@RepKatiePorter is hosting her first in person town hall since the pandemic on Sunday July 11th. "Policy in the Park" starts outside at 3PM at Mike Ward Community Park in Irvine. She discussed it on @FOXLA with me & @MarlaTellez. You can RSVP here: https://t.co/Bgx0AZNJC4

We commend @POTUS for fulfilling his commitment to ending the longest war in American history, making it clear that there is no military solution in Afghanistan. Our statement on the ongoing U.S. troop withdrawal:

“We tend not to care that people go untreated so long as they also go unseen.” We can do better. Congress can fund mental health alternatives to policing. Honored to write this with ⁦@RepKatiePorter⁩ in support of the Mental Health Justice Act. https://t.co/wPlsfMHaTj
