$600 isn’t enough for ordinary Americans. At this point, neither is $2,000. We’re in the worst crisis this nation has seen in a century. We need to go bold. Let’s give everyday Americans the support they need: $2,000 every month until we’re out of this. https://t.co/MtCT1JanqP — PolitiTweet.org

42% of Americans say that their financial situation got worse because of the pandemic. Almost half of those people have had to go into debt and drain personal savings just to stay afloat. $2000/month is not "too much" to give—it's aid that actually meets people's needs. — PolitiTweet.org

There was a time when conservatives like @BillKristol, @GeorgeWill & Milton Friedman, whom I often strongly disagreed with, didn’t need to continually exaggerate or distort to debate. Have today’s conservatives lost so much faith in their ideas that they need to lie to survive? — PolitiTweet.org

.@karaswisher is the most thoughtful voice on tech policy. Period. We should have listened to her years ago. At least we should listen to her now. I always learn when I go on her show. @profgalloway is also insightful! — PolitiTweet.org

Biden’s plan to cut child poverty by 50% costs $120 billion a year. Compare that to our $760 billion defense budget. The money is there for bold solutions that will lift up the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

@BradCNct @profgalloway @karaswisher They are problems. And we need to address. But California accounts for 15% of nation’s GDP, leads in startups, venture funding, and growth. So my point was pushing back against the caricature of California’s governance model. — PolitiTweet.org

@BradCNct @profgalloway @karaswisher Thanks. Open to your suggestions. Warren Richmond bill on federal grants to promote zoning reform is one idea. What do you suggest. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Thoughtful column! Mandate in that these policies have overwhelming popular support. The odds of passing this are not as steep as what LBJ faced or FDR faced. What we need is to use every tool to push for them and make the best effort possible! — PolitiTweet.org

Our focus on science and technology funding must include HBCUs and tech hubs for communities of color. Black people have been marginalized from the wealth generation of the digital economy. They must be part of it. — PolitiTweet.org

“The threats would come directly to my children’s phones, directly to my children’s homes.” As a nation, we should be deeply embarrassed that this happened to a person who has served our nation admirably for decades. https://t.co/BeYnFd4b36 — PolitiTweet.org

We need @MehrsaBaradaran who has advocated for postal banking, reducing the racial wealth gap, and environmental justice. So many progressives believe we need her in this role! — PolitiTweet.org

Big equity challenge is digital wealth creation. Clubhouse’s growth is driven by Black users and creative leaders, but very few Blacks have real equity in its $1 billion valuation. Why are Blacks not deriving wealth from apps they popularize? https://t.co/F8z0jjI7jc — PolitiTweet.org

A simple Senate majority should revise the Byrd rule from 1985. This is not some hallowed constitutional principle. It was intended to limit reconciliation to deficit reduction by prohibiting extraneous measures. Bad economics. Allow reconciliation for wage raises & job creation. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats have the Presidency, the House, and the Senate. We have a mandate for change that will impact ordinary Americans everywhere: a $15 minimum wage, stimulus checks, bold climate action, and much more. — PolitiTweet.org

🇺🇸 45 million Americans have student loans. 🇺🇸 They carry $1.6 trillion in debt—more than credit cards or auto loans. 🇺🇸 The average borrower owes $32,731 with a monthly payment of $393. Biden has the power to cancel up to $50k in student debt right now. This crisis can't wait. — PolitiTweet.org

We absolutely need progressives running at all levels in 2021 at all levels. That is what will build the movement for the policies we want. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We will be judged not on what we propose, but what we deliver. There is no excuse for not passing a $15 wage, child allowance, $2000 checks, and state and local aid through reconciliation. Let’s get it done. https://t.co/s8m841Bi9z — PolitiTweet.org

12 million Americans are more than $5k behind in rent. 10.7 million are unemployed or underemployed. We’re talking about one $2,000 check when we SHOULD be talking about one $2,000 check every month. That’s what working people need during this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
