@atrupar Please watch the interview. It’s about cutting the defense budget and stopping endless wars. I stated my position clearly and consistently. If someone on Fox is willing to talk about cutting the defense budget, why not engage. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@GoAngelo Please listen to the segment. We discussed cuts in the Pentagon budget, ending endless wars, and investing at home. If we seek a more just foreign policy, we need to build coalitions to do that and speak to millions of Americans on Fox. That’s how I passed the Yemen WPR. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@kenklippenstein @JordanUhl He was helpful in getting CBC support for Yemen War Powers and also is passionate about reversing colonial devastation in Africa and other parts of world. But I have a lot of respect for Castro too. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

In California, we’ve passed police reform, bold action on climate, a $15 min wage and worker protections. We can be a model for progressive change in the next administration. I spoke with @MMFlint about the bold action we need now. Check it out: https://t.co/2kI2SZBlWT — PolitiTweet.org

At the end of the year: 💵 13.5M Americans will lose unemployment benefits 🏘️️ Eviction moratorium ends, putting 6.5M at risk 🎓 37M people have to start paying student loans again Judges in the lame duck session can wait. Relief can’t. — PolitiTweet.org

I wish my Sikh friends across the United States and world Gurpurab greetings as they celebrate the birth anniversary of Guru Nanak. Guru Nanak preached a strong message of humility and universal brotherhood. He was an example of tolerance, contentment, forgiveness & humility. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trump and Republicans are more concerned with trying to overturn the results of the election than with helping ordinary Americans during this crisis. It’s a dereliction of duty. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Doctors Without Borders is here, in America, assisting with COVID-19 response. The Air Force sent nurses to hospitals in ND. The National Guard was deployed to El Paso to help with their morgue crisis. Our failure to contain COVID-19 has made America a humanitarian crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This crisis has already devastated millions of Americans. But at the end of the year, 12 million Americans will completely lose unemployment benefits. Congress can avoid this catastrophe by passing substantial relief right now. Time is running out. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

During this pandemic, billionaires have gained $1 trillion in wealth as ordinary Americans struggle. These massive profits make one thing clear: we need to fund programs that will improve the lives of everyday Americans especially on education and healthcare. https://t.co/LoMo7xCzH8 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Today, there are millions of families who are struggling to afford food, necessities, and even their homes. We have to do better by them. Americans need relief now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

RT @RadioFreeTom: @RoKhanna @fmbutt I agree especially about the last part. I have no warmth at all for nostalgia, which I think is almost… — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

RT @RadioFreeTom: @RoKhanna @fmbutt Thanks, Congressman, much appreciated the discussion. ✌ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RadioFreeTom @fmbutt Look forward to a longer conversation at some point! Learned from the exchange and looking forward to reading your book — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RadioFreeTom @fmbutt We have to show communities left out that immigrants are not an abstract good but will tangibly lead to more wealth & more opportunity for their kids. And we should sell our faith in the future being the greatest with as much conviction as trump sold the past. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RadioFreeTom @fmbutt My hope is if we can better distribute digital opportunities geographically then perhaps more people can stay rooted in communities and foster strong civic identities. It’s more than a safety net, but given people the ability to create wealth and be agents of their own lives... — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RadioFreeTom @fmbutt Very thoughtful @RadioFreeTom. I agree with a lot of it. I have ordered your book! I particularly agree with fostering civic virtue and talking back at culture to lead it as opposed to amplifying it’s basest aspects... — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RadioFreeTom @fmbutt How would you suggest we go about that project @RadioFreeTom? Appreciate the thoughtful exchange and genuinely curious about your views — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RadioFreeTom @fmbutt And we do need to think about resentment and loss as there is cultural realignment and new faces of power and how to contain subcultures of hate. I suppose I still have an abiding faith in our decency as a people and hope that we can stitch the nation together. Obama tried... — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RadioFreeTom @fmbutt So if we can expand new economic opportunity to places left out at a time Americans are moving less than ever before, it may make the prospect of healing a bit easier. We also need to find ways of identifying Rawls’ “overlapping consensus” while respecting vibrant subcultures... — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RadioFreeTom @fmbutt Britain, Canada, Australia are all 70-80 percent white. We are 60 percent. We have people of all different faiths (I’m Gandhian Hindu) and backgrounds. It will be our greatest contribution to civilization if we perfect this experiment. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RadioFreeTom @fmbutt I respect your perspective @RadioFreeTom. Expanding economic opportunity and pride cannot solve cultural issues. What we are trying to do post 65, when my parents were allowed in, is hard. There has never been a multiracial multiethnic democracy in the history of the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Black Americans are more likely to take on student debt, have $7,400 more in debt on average, and more likely to default on their loans than white Americans. Student debt relief is an integral part of the fight to end racial inequality in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@RadioFreeTom I agree @RadioFreeTom abt cultural/social anxiety in becoming a multiracial democracy. But the deindustrialization of towns & geographic economic concentration i/are real issues. Not just for rural America but as William Julius Wilson & Eric Gould show for Black America. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The Senate confirmed 4 Trump judges in one week, but left town without passing any relief for struggling Americans. It’s unbelievable. Republicans need to get their priorities straight. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trump is trying to gut worker protections, rush environmental deregulation and even bring back firing squads in the last weeks of his presidency. If he can act this quickly to block progress, then he can tackle the actual crises facing America. https://t.co/VKIvbTVFaP — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

RT @TimRyan: That’s right. 2k a month until we get back on our feet. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

No one should be going hungry in America. 26 million people don’t have enough to eat—we need to pass relief now. https://t.co/wPdgbgG8hE — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The pandemic is raging & we’re leaving health care workers out to dry. They're overwhelmed and burning out—saying thank you is far from enough. If we really think they’re heroes, we’d do all we can to contain COVID-19 and give them the support they need. https://t.co/yDdCWcEMuV — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Tim Ryan and my proposal is for those households under $250,000 and targeted to the working and middle class as well as low income. — PolitiTweet.org
