For decades, America led the world in industry—we can do the same for tech and innovation. That’s why I’m so proud of our Endless Frontier Act, which will fund the cutting-edge research and technology that would otherwise be left behind. https://t.co/AukL1FYOo3 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

As the Senate’s passage of my Endless Frontier Act shows, we can still achieve bipartisanship in Washington. But it shouldn't be an excuse. The American people are relying on us to invest in communities, take climate change seriously, and create an economy that works for all. https://t.co/Xh2IygfAGG — PolitiTweet.org

29 states still do not have laws shielding our LGBTQ+ friends from discrimination. This month, and every month, it’s vital that we afford the same legal protections that the rest of us receive. I’m proud the House passed the Equality Act—the Senate must do the same. https://t.co/tmF4gJqcu3 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

By bipartisanship do you mean stacking the courts with conservative justices? 🤔 Bipartisanship means getting things done for the American people. Our progressive agenda, including the infrastructure package, is popular and unifying. It's time Republicans get on board. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We don't have to take business executives' spin on this. When you have a CEO that brings in more than $35 million per year, there's more than enough money to pay workers fairly. Chipotle is not raising prices because of rising wages. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Also @brianschatz what is @ginamccarthy46 thinking by saying she’ll pitch the American Petroleum Institute. We don’t need to pitch fossil fuel lobbyists! We must demand that the subsidies end, which they admitted were favoring them in my committee hearing with @GretaThunberg. — PolitiTweet.org

The median white household has about $100k-$200k net worth, while Black and Latinx households have $10k-$20k net worth. Addressing inequities in education is key to closing the racial wealth gap. We need College for All. https://t.co/4rTXZfUo9C — PolitiTweet.org

It doesn’t take an economist to get that unions reduce income inequality. This is why we’re fighting to ensure every worker can join a union. https://t.co/3InQ05U1bb — PolitiTweet.org

This is why I’m working to pass our Stop CHEATERS Act, to fully fund the IRS and hold the ultra-rich accountable for tax evasion. https://t.co/Zsyv4jTqh9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Fully-funding the IRS is a start, but only the start. While hard working Americans pay their share, the ultra-rich completely avoid paying federal income tax – and even receive tax credits, perfectly legally. The tax system needs to work for everyone, not just the wealthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

When companies like Walmart refuse to pay their employees a living wage, taxpayers pay the price—while their shareholders make huge profits. This is why we must raise the minimum wage and pass the PRO Act. Our workers deserve better. https://t.co/kIjmiKNzp6 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Despite pledges to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, G7 countries spend at least $100B/year supporting fossil fuels: 🇺🇸 $27.4B 🇩🇪 $18.6B 🇮🇹 $17.9B 🇯🇵 $12.5B 🇬🇧 $11B 🇫🇷 $8B 🇨🇦 $4.7B The U.S. spends the most & ranks LAST on progress in removing subsidies. We must do better. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

After we delivered $2k stimulus checks to the American people, we saw a 43% ⬇️ in financial instability and a 42% ⬇️ in food shortages. This is a lesson that we shouldn’t have to wait for permission from Republicans to push for bold progressive policies. https://t.co/JLLxyILMPR — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

140 million Americans are poor, while the top 1% own 70% of our nation’s wealth. We need Medicare for All, tuition-free college, a $15 minimum wage, universal child care, and affordable housing. If we audit & tax the ultra rich, we can make it happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This is a crisis. We must end the filibuster and pass the For the People Act. Waiting for compromise or “bipartisanship” just further undermines our democracy. https://t.co/Qmti8Duj74 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We saw what happened with the American Rescue Plan: Not a single Republican voted for it. Not one. But they did take credit for its positive impact. It’s absurd, and this time won’t be any different. Let’s be bold on infrastructure—with or without Republicans. https://t.co/4kRkpcc2ph — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Policymaking is a matter of priorities. Are we going to let the rich fund their science fiction fantasies about space, *or* are we going to fund our schools, invest in our economic growth, and ensure that every American has health care? Audit and tax the ultra rich. — PolitiTweet.org
