House Republicans' first move this session was to attempt to handicap the bipartisan Office of Congressional Ethics. I have not met a single American who believes Congress should have fewer ethical standards. So much for “draining the swamp.” — PolitiTweet.org

The federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 for the last 15 years while the purchasing power for workers has declined by 27% due to inflation. It’s time to give hard working Americans a raise. https://t.co/u6gagguHJN — PolitiTweet.org

I am tired of hearing colleagues in Congress say that we “can’t afford” to make healthcare affordable for all. The truth is we can’t afford *not* to. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Millions of Americans across this country are avoiding seeking life-saving medical care because they’re afraid it will bankrupt them. In many cases, their fears are well-founded. We need #MedicareForAll. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Thanks for sharing this and your resilience. You speak for so many. This is why we need to pass a law that rent cannot increase beyond inflation. And we need more affordable housing and apartment units. And of course a min wage increase that will put upward pressure on wages. — PolitiTweet.org

@ViKannan_ @dkaushik96 @jordanschnyc Not just advanced manufacturing but lots of jobs in the work being done in the 70s 80s 90s. — PolitiTweet.org

@benigma2017 Not any better than before! It’s in a trust and independently managed without my or her knowledge. But I appreciate your passion on progressive issues and always try to engage. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@ViKannan_ @jordanschnyc From 1970-2000, productivity grew by about 20 percent every 10 years but so did production. So there was no job loss. The bad trade deals led to job loss. We can have productivity gains to have manufacturing competitive in the US while still creating many jobs! — PolitiTweet.org

Rebuilding America as a manufacturing superpower is one of the most significant political struggles of our lifetime. People from across the political spectrum agree on this. Let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Congress has never provided an automatic adjustment to the minimum wage for inflation. It’s time to give hard working Americans the raise they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

.@BLeeForCongress is a hero of mine. She is the strongest anti-war voice in the entire Congress. Of course, I would factor whether she runs. Of course, representation matters, and it matters that we have an African American woman in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans’ faith in democracy has plummeted, not *only* due to disinformation and extremist rhetoric, but also because they've seen their government disproportionately serve the wealthiest investors of the most powerful corporations at the expense of the working and middle class. https://t.co/gzS3QHcgkd — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Ok I confess. Every time the inflation numbers come out I look at @jasonfurman threads to make sense of the numbers! Don’t always agree with his recommendations, but learn from his economic analysis! — PolitiTweet.org

It’s absurd we spend nearly a trillion dollars on the military budget while millions of Americans, veterans included, can’t access the healthcare they need. #MedicareForAll — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, the pandemic is a cause of this. But the question is what policies on universal healthcare would have mitigated this and how could we have taken better care of essential workers, the elderly and those with underlying health issues. — PolitiTweet.org

Off-shoring domestic manufacturing was never about strengthening our economy. It was about enriching the top investors of multinational corporations. We need to end this disastrous trend and bring those jobs home. — PolitiTweet.org

My focus right now is on supporting everyone in California struggling against these severe storms and historic floods. But we have to address the root causes. “Unprecedented” environmental calamities like this will continue to happen unless we take action against climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

I understand why folks are angry about the airline issues. But there’s no need to bring family into it. @PeteButtigieg and @Chasten have created a beautiful family and are model parents. Family should be left alone. — PolitiTweet.org

I respect @LHSummers principled commitment to open, robust, free expression even when he disagrees with the views. It’s the hallmark not just of our academic institutions but of liberal democracy! On Liberty should be required reading for all freshmen. — PolitiTweet.org

If you don’t believe corporate greed has deadly consequences, take a look at the decline in American life expectancy. We need #MedicareForAll, and we must raise the minimum wage. https://t.co/haY3CFEQGt — PolitiTweet.org
