.⁦@GovRonDeSantis⁩ I thought Republicans were for equal opportunity to participate, not equal outcomes. Are you really advocating for political quotas? Would you want the diversity of flat earth thinkers or climate deniers to be equally represented? https://t.co/hchseRmnnA — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone out West: please prepare for this heat this weekend! Make sure your emergency devices are charged, that you have clean drinking water available, and you know where your closest cooling center is. Stay safe! https://t.co/9cbZk2LJTV — PolitiTweet.org

Every day, 22 children and teens fall victim to gun violence. Enough. We have to come together to pass common sense gun reform. We can’t afford to wait. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Under our current system, it’s perfectly legal for billionaires like Jeff Bezos to use deductions to avoid paying federal taxes—legally. This must change. We have to make the ultra-rich pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We give the fossil fuel industry $20 billion per year in subsidies. Why? It’s 2021 —we need to lead the world with green infrastructure and by tackling the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

American billionaires gained a trillion dollars in wealth during the pandemic, and yet Republicans propose a tax hike on working people. Tax the ultra-wealthy first. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

34% of Black households 39% of Latino households 47% of Native American households Those are the numbers of American households lacking a standard broadband connection. All in all, 23% of the country lacks access. That’s unacceptable in a 21st century economy. Let’s fix it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

In the modern world, technology can–and should–be a force for good. But we can’t rely on Big Tech to regulate itself–we need substantive, well crafted new laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

DC residents represent a larger population than two states and pay more federal taxes per capita than any state, and yet they have no congressional representation. Equal representation shouldn’t be about politics. We need #DCStatehood now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We let billionaires legally avoid paying federal income taxes while simultaneously discussing raising the gas tax on the back of working people. In what world does this make sense? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Sen. Schumer said it best: Voter suppression is now an official part of the GOP platform. We can’t rely on support from across the aisle in order to secure our democracy. We need to end the filibuster or have a voting rights exception. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Any bipartisan deal will only pass with an ironclad agreement that we will not leave climate and green infrastructure behind. No climate, no deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It's unacceptable that some members believe uncovering the truth of the events of Jan. 6 is something to play politics with. I applaud Speaker Pelosi for moving forward with a select committee. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We can’t rely on the goodwill of industry to close the racial wealth gap. Black and Brown communities need us to deliver the bold policies–like Medicare for All, College for All, and Broadband for All–that will create real economic change. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

As many as 70% of ambulance rides result in a surprise medical bill for the patient. No one should have to think twice about taking an ambulance to the hospital. We need Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We’ve seen time and time again that the ultra-wealthy skip out on taxes as much as they can. My Stop CHEATERS Act would make sure that the 1% and powerful corporations pay their fair share. If hardworking Americans can do it, so can they. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

In 2020, we campaigned on a green future for America, led by a bold infrastructure agenda that prioritizes the fight against climate change. The voters delivered for us–it’s time we deliver for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Access to high-speed Internet lowers unemployment, creates job growth, and leads to higher rates of economic development and opportunity. Expanding rural broadband must be a priority in the 21st-century economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Why in the world would we create a tax on working Americans in order to pay for an infrastructure plan? American billionaires made more than a trillion dollars during the pandemic. We need a wealth tax. — PolitiTweet.org

Our democracy is under a partisan attack–why would we think we can achieve a bipartisan solution? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If it wasn’t obvious before, it is now: Our Republican colleagues simply aren’t interested in working with us. We need to be ready to move forward without them. We can’t let the filibuster stand in the way of protecting Americans’ right to vote. https://t.co/YRE1DzQuRe — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Every American has the right not only to vote, but to be confident that their vote counts. Voting rights shouldn’t be a partisan issue, and Democrats aren’t the ones making it one. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Across the country, Republicans are making it harder for Democrats–specifically Black and Brown Democrats– to vote. Republicans are doing this, they won’t help us undo it. We have to be willing to pass the For The People Act on our own. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We have a broad coalition in support of protecting our democracy, both in and out of the Senate. All that’s standing in the way is an arbitrary Senate rule. The majority of America supports this voting rights legislation–we can’t let Republicans block it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Excellent 🧵 . The Framers were explicitly against a supermajority Senate because they knew that that power would be abused. The filibuster has been a tool for impeding progress on civil rights. It has to go. https://t.co/cafc9lTMXJ — PolitiTweet.org

@MagloughlinA But not for what mattered most to him —stacking the Supreme Court! I am talking about a similar exception for voting rights — PolitiTweet.org
