🚨CHASE CREDIT CARD HOLDERS🚨Check your inboxes. @jpmorgan sent an email on Friday that *in the fine print* forces you into arbitration if you ever try to sue them and bans you from participating in any class action lawsuit against them. This is wrong. bit.ly/2EQ2fBs
Unless you “opt out” (a sneaky way they’re skirting California law) by snail mail (!!) before August 10th, this email means you’re giving up your right to ever take them to court. For any reason.

Rest assured, Jamie Dimon will be hearing from me.
Here’s the letter you need to send to Chase before August 10th, to reject the binding arbitration clause. (I’ve used myself as an example; edit to provide *your* info.) You can even handwrite it! Just make sure it contains your name, billing address, acct. number, and signature.
Also: I will be in touch with Mr. Dimon on the legality of Chase closing the accounts of individuals who reject the arbitration clause. I’ll keep you updated.
Update: @jpmorgan will NOT close your account if you reject the arbitration agreement they’re attempting to force onto their customers. Do so before August 10th! bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Like I said I would, today I sent a letter to Jamie Dimon calling him out for this deceptive and anti-consumer policy. As I write in the letter: "Accountability is an essential element of a functional economy, and JPMC is attempting to evade responsibility in our court system."

Today is my last day as a Member of Congress.

I came to Washington on a mission to grow representation for working families, crack down on special interests, hold government accountable, and help Californians get the resources we deserve. (1/6) Rep. Porter and her three kids on the House floor on her first day of Congress.
Together, we’ve made a lot of progress—but the fight is not over.

We need to continue to lower costs for Americans, push housing prices down, and make it easier for our neighbors and kids to have a fair shot. (2/6)
During my six years in Congress, I’m proud that ten of my proposals to boost accountability in the Pentagon, lower drug costs, protect our planet, improve mental health care, and more became law.

My office also returned $25 million to O.C. families and closed 8,000+ cases. (3/6)

In the wake of Hurricane Helene—and with the looming threat of Hurricane Milton—we ought to reflect on how Congress can best provide the tools and resources to help us prepare for and recover from disasters.

Project 2025 would take away many of those tools. A brief 🧵 👇
Project 2025 would decimate America’s disaster response. It would:
-Eliminate grants and loans that help Americans prepare for and recover from disasters
-Gut @NOAA and the National Weather Service
-Make it harder for @FEMA to respond to every disaster (2/7)
And just last week, reports highlighted what we already knew about Donald Trump—that he only looks out for himself.

When Orange County needed help after a wildfire, Trump refused to approve disaster aid until he saw how many Republicans lived in OC. (3/7)

Some observations 🧵🧵

The justices rigorously questioned the government's lawyer. This is a good thing. In criminal cases, the burden of proof is on the government, and our Court should press the government on its use of power, especially in prosecutions. (1/5)
The government’s lawyer, Elizabeth Prelogar, was masterful. Coming from another branch of government, I appreciated the opportunity to see this impressive Biden appointee in action. (2/5)
Despite many questions on whether the statute at issue covers certain Jan. 6 defendants' conduct, I predict the government prevails. The statute applies to those who corruptly obstruct, influence, or impede official proceedings. These defendants did exactly that on Jan. 6. (3/5)

Each year, my office puts together an End of Year Report, so Orange County families can see how I’m representing them.

As we ring in the #NewYear this weekend, here are some of my favorite accomplishments of 2023 ⤵️ (1/9)
My job is to help Orange County families, and I'm grateful to work with such an effective team. We introduced dozens of bills, took hundreds of meetings, responded to thousands of messages, and delivered millions owed to Californians by federal agencies. (2/9) Graphic of statistics from Rep. Porter's office in 2023.
The infant formula crisis devastated our supply chain and hurt families. This year, I teamed up with @RepLisaMcClain to hold corporations and @US_FDA accountable. Our bill would add new safeguards to keep contaminated formula out of grocery stores. (3/9) wsj.com/health/healthc…

Nice try, but wrong.

Drug companies and their enablers keep trying to convince the American people that lowering drug prices is somehow bad for patients. I’ve debunked these myths over and over. Here are some highlights 🧵
For ages, Big Pharma CEOs have claimed that massive price hikes are necessary to fund research and development.

This is a bald-faced lie. These profits go straight into the pockets of Big Pharma execs and shareholders. (2/5)
Here's another example of Big Pharma's greed: this CEO made half a million dollars by hiking the cost of a cancer drug.

My law to recoup taxpayer dollars from drug companies that raised prices faster than the rate of inflation is now in effect. (3/5)

First Republic Bank was taken over by @FDICgov and sold overnight—the third bank failure in two months. I’ll dive deeper into what Congress can do, but first let me say this: Americans' money in the banking system remains safe and deposits up to $250,000 are fully insured. 🧵🔽
These recent bank failures were avoidable.

The Fed’s report on #SiliconValleyBank's collapse pointed to bank mismanagement and the 2018 rollback of financial safeguards, among other issues.

I wrote two bills to prevent this from happening again. (2/5)
In 2018, Congress overturned banking regulations put in place after the 2008 financial crisis. I called it out at the time for exactly what it was—catering to Wall Street. I’ve introduced the #SVBAct to restore these critical protections. (3/5)
