    If keeping my promise to hold corporations & government officials accountable is “stirring up trouble,” then I guess my response is: 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

    Raise your hand if you’re sick and tired of CEOs telling the public one thing but arguing a different thing in federal court. 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

    "He affirmed that Facebook is committed to privacy yet couldn't explain then to me why his lawyers are arguing in federal court that Facebook has no duty to protect people's privacy," says Democratic Rep. Katie Porter on Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's testimony to Congress today.

    Classic. Facebook pretends they care about and will protect user privacy. Meanwhile, an army of their attorneys is marching into federal court to argue it's not their job. Which one is it?

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

    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:

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Today, I brought the receipts.

    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.

    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 FacebookQuestions@mail.house.gov

    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.

    I asked about REOs - a basic term related to foreclosure - at a hearing today. He thought I was referring to a chocolate sandwich cookie. No, really.

    Big week for : 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.

    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 . Check it out ⬇️

    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!

    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!
