@XiyueWang9 Please see my tweet where I explicitly criticized ICI, called out Khamenei for theocracy, and defended American exceptionalism. Iran’s regime is a gross human rights abuser. That doesn’t mean I can’t be for the JCPOA as what is best way to limit their nuclear ambition. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress has failed to regulate these platforms. We have to act with opt-in consent and regulations that will transform the digital market while understanding the needs of small businesses online. https://t.co/5IjRciY6o1 — PolitiTweet.org

.@sliccardo is one of the most thoughtful Silicon Valley leaders. He cares about equity, inclusiveness, and fostering a startup & innovation culture. Anyone who cares about the future of the Valley should engage with his Op-Ed. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidGCrane @Ash_Kalra @Govern4CA So are you for Medicare for all @DavidGCrane. As you know Medicare automatically enrolls and allows supplemental coverage for non duplicative care — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The inequities in our health care system existed long before the pandemic, but now we’re seeing their impact. Our country desperately needs progressive policies like Medicare for All and a Green New Deal. It just can’t wait. https://t.co/QzlG4ePK0z — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

To help make that happen, I'm going to keep working to improve our pandemic response, get $2k/month checks to everyone, and secure Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Year of the Ox to everyone celebrating Lunar New Year! I wish you a year full of good health, prosperity, and time with loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I believe in economics. And the evidence is clear: Increases in the minimum wage of up to 80% of the median U.S. wage (which is $19) do not hurt job creation. More from minimum wage expert @arindube: https://t.co/FZ3hDiU6Wr — PolitiTweet.org

While this is a welcome development, we’re not out of the woods yet. Please stay home, practice social distancing, and wear a mask! https://t.co/3vyZ1Njz3C — PolitiTweet.org

@ezraklein Also if the essence of @ezraklein piece is that California is not as progressive on housing & school policy as their symbolic rhetoric suggests, I agree. I suppose my sensitivity comes from the piling on about California governance that the right uses to reject progressive policy — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@DavidGCrane I know you aren’t a big believer in the federal government. But why not fund universal childcare, preschool, nutrition, universal healthcare, college federally. Very low interest rate, low inflation. A robust federal response would solve a lot of what you care about — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Ending US complicity in the Yemen war is NOT ending the war. The bombing continues. The threat of famine for 16 million continues. Given our responsibility, we must call on all foreign parties to stop the bombing, funding & intervention. Only then can we resolve the civil war. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@rohan_s_kalyani @PaulSchmitz1 @ezraklein If you talk to the Mayors, they will tell you they need funding for building more schools, for more transportation etc. I suppose they could run on we will raise your taxes to pay for more development. But that’s a very tough platform to win on. Providing grants would incentivize — PolitiTweet.org

@BobBrigham @DanteAtkins Thanks. What will be the issue? Whether to have more restrictions on tech coming in? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@BobBrigham @DanteAtkins That may be an anomaly to a lot of rural towns facing shrinking population, decline of manufacturing, concern kids may leave — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@BobBrigham @DanteAtkins My understanding is a lot of rural communities have welcomed digital opportunity and néw jobs as well. I suppose it’s a balance — PolitiTweet.org

It is sad and outrageous to have this act of antisemitism in my hometown of Fremont where a synagogue was defaced with a swastika. The perpetrators of this hate crime must be held accountable. I stand with the impacted community during this difficult time. https://t.co/gfjuJIvpKr — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@BobBrigham What could be done about the above issues — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@BobBrigham How do you deal with quality of life issues as tech jobs will spread and we will see more remote work? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@BobBrigham What would be the solution? More affordable and social housing? What have been the negatives on quality of life? Not arguing but genuinely curious to learn your perspective! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

But you know what will drive housing/land costs down. More investment and wealth generation in other parts of the country and perhaps remote work. Some rents already are falling. California’s housing crisis is partly because of its extraordinary success but also concentration — PolitiTweet.org

@darshan_n Look at the statistics for Black and Latino representation. They are abysmal. We need to do better — PolitiTweet.org

*has! Has a huge housing and homeless issue. On this point @ezraklein is absolutely right. Again @SenWarren plan would go a long way and Milpitas and SJ are being quite innovative. — PolitiTweet.org
