@Ahmad_R_Salim @RobertCrews22 @CNN I love sitting down wirh many scholars and people who have been in the region. For him to lecture me about colonialism without knowing my family history is just odd. And Gopal knows far more about what’s going on in the ground. — PolitiTweet.org

Some perspective: The Build Back Better bill costs $3.5 trillion over 10 years. Our current defense budget costs $7.39 trillion over 10 years. We have the money to pay for these things—we just have to decide that we want to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

@RobertCrews22 @CNN I did not. I referenced people to the Gopal piece which says that many Afghan women are glad the war ended. Please read it. — PolitiTweet.org

@sairasameerarao I disagreed with the up by bootstraps message but I appreciated his personal story and the challenges his family faced. The essence of liberalism, tolerance and pluralism is to listen to the stories of people. His comments on Afghans have been derogatory and obscene — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RobertCrews22 @CNN Also I suggest you read Anand Gopal piece for answers to those questions. Perhaps, assign it for one of your classes. He actually understands issues of colonialism on the ground — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RobertCrews22 @CNN Ha. My grandfather Amarnath Vidyalankar spent four years in jail and worked with Gandhi as part of the movement against colonialism. I don’t think I would ever use a colonial voice. Point is the the killing was by multiple parties in a bloody civil war and needed end to violence. — PolitiTweet.org

At $7.25/hour, minimum wage workers pull in $1,160 per month before taxes. If you’re supposed to spend less than 1/3 of income on rent, can someone point me to the 1 bedroom apartment that costs $400? (You can’t: lowest average 1 bedroom rent is $679.74.) Let’s raise the wage. — PolitiTweet.org

The President made the right choice and pulled us out of Afghanistan. So why are we adding $23.9 billion more than he requested to the defense budget? We can use that money right here at home. Democrats need to stand up to a bloated defense budget. https://t.co/wVOYw8PXhs — PolitiTweet.org

✅ Long-term care ✅ Clean electricity standard ✅ Universal pre-k ✅ Free community college ✅ Child tax credit extension All part of the Build Back Better bill, all supported by a majority of voters. Let’s not overthink this. — PolitiTweet.org

.@JoeNeguse is one of the most thoughtful and creative policy minds in Washington. He is a bold progressive who also knows how to get things done. Please support him. He and Boebert represent two completely different visions of 21st century America. — PolitiTweet.org

@SylvrewolfeP Of course I respect many working people on assembly lines working for our national security. But a lot of our defense budget goes to executives of large defense contractors, making more than $5 million a year! — PolitiTweet.org

Where governments spend money is about values. Do we spend to help working people, or do we spend more and more on our defense budget? — PolitiTweet.org
