Dontae Sharpe was wrongly convicted of a murder he did not commit and served 26 years in jail. That’s a gross injustice. The least Governor Cooper can do is pardon him and compensate him for what happened. ⁦@RevDrBarber⁩ https://t.co/uHVDH4kfWA — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats won the majority because we acknowledged the scope of the crisis in front of us. When roads crumble in the heat and water mains break in the cold, it’s our job to say clearly: the climate crisis is an infrastructure crisis. That means no climate, no deal. — PolitiTweet.org

@rinsana I think it’s a tax every year and the aggregate wealth of the ultra rich has continued to increase dramatically and will continue to do so. If their wealth declined, they’d pay less as it’s a few percent tax. Switzerland seems to have had no problem with this. Thoughts — PolitiTweet.org

@rinsana Over $130 trillion American household wealth. About 90 trillion in top 10 percent. 40 trillion top 1 percent. If you have a few percent tax on the ultra rich, you can raise a lot. And I believe wealth generation will continue in an age of increasing digitization — PolitiTweet.org

Even with employer-sponsored healthcare, Americans pay more than $2800 per year for insulin. Why are we spending so much money on life-saving medical items? We need Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

I am a fan Mr. Wonderful of your not taking equity but only a percent of revenue on your shark tank deals and appreciate your entrepreneurial success. Great debate on what we need to do to make sure everyone has the chance to live their dreams and achieve their potential. — PolitiTweet.org

Minimum wage earners aren’t teens working a summer job for a few extra bucks. More than half are older than 25. How can you earn a living when you aren’t being paid a living wage? We need to #RaiseTheWage. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Every winter, there are record freezes across the country. Every summer, it’s record heat. The climate crisis is already here–we literally cannot afford to continue giving billions to the fossil fuel industry. We have to end fossil fuel subsidies. https://t.co/kfNFuYiDwV — PolitiTweet.org

@JoeSquawk Ha! And then we built great infrastructure. Can do it again, with even more urgency. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This is exactly what we’re talking about. The climate crisis is already here, and we have to be sure we’re up to the task. The infrastructure deal must be climate-first. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Great conversation with @JoeSquawk & @kevinolearytv about our economy. More people should do television like Joe. Ask tough questions, have a sense of humor, but then actually debate and listen to different perspectives. Diversity of thought is what makes America great. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Americans take an average of $42,000 in debt per household to go to college. That’s money that isn’t being spent at local businesses, buying a house, or otherwise going back into the economy. College for All puts money straight into Americans’ pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Publicly, Exxon pushes a carbon tax as a major solution to fighting climate change. Privately, they can barely contain their glee at the barriers it faces in Congress. The American people deserve to know just how fossil fuel lobbyists exert their influence on Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Healthcare costs are rising faster than GDP, so how can small businesses keep up and provide care for their workers? Taking those costs away from businesses not only helps Americans but helps the economy too. Medicare For All is pro-worker and pro-business—let’s make it happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

People often fight against minimum wage increases by saying the wage is in line with the productivity of the job. That’s nonsense. If the wage kept up with productivity, it’d be $24 by now. There’s no reason workers can’t earn at least $15. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

When markets are healthy, employers compete with each other to hire workers, but policies like non-compete agreements limit worker movement and keep wages down. These moves by the Biden administration will go a long way to help workers. https://t.co/7iQ1dzJtZu — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

In one day, Jeff Bezos' worth increased by $8.4 billion. His average Amazon warehouse worker earned $120 in the same day. What a shame to become the richest person of all time and not empower those that work for you? https://t.co/66zaKGkYjj — PolitiTweet.org

@ZaidJilani @RichardHanania Besides, hard to argue that Habermas, Sen, Taylor, Crenshaw, Hochschild would all endorse a perspective that was “in the tank” for any interest. https://t.co/pWstZbZCT1 — PolitiTweet.org

Six months after the attack on the Capitol, there is still too much that we don’t know. But we do know that the Republicans aren’t running away from the Big Lie – they’re running on it. https://t.co/fLTWapH5Xl — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

American taxpayers give the fossil fuel industry more than $20 billion per year, and how is their money used? For lobbying and shadowy misinformation campaigns, lying to us about climate change in the pursuit of larger profits. End fossil fuel subsidies. — PolitiTweet.org
