There are over 50,000 new COVID-19 cases and hundreds of deaths per day, job growth is slowing down, and 23 million Americans didn't have enough to eat last week. Note to Republicans: the Supreme Court can wait. A relief bill can't. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If we treated COVID-19 relief like we treat our military budget, we would have already passed the most comprehensive plan possible with bipartisan support and relieved suffering for millions of people. — PolitiTweet.org

@WalkerBragman Fair enough. But part of what is broken is the view some in politics have that they don’t have to answer. The hallmark of a great democracy is to engage even with critics not acting in good faith. I still believe perhaps naively in the Habermasian/Rawlsian faith in communication. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I have never said don’t compromise, and I have voted for almost every appropriation deal Pelosi has negotiated. The left believes we ought to fight for Medicare for all, for free college, for ending bad wars and not compromise our principles. But compromise to help people. — PolitiTweet.org

An undercount would have devastating effects on communities of color and low-income communities: less representation, fewer resources, and less political power. Every single American must be counted. We won’t allow the Census to continue to be politicized by this administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Length of previous Supreme Court confirmations (in days): 🔸 Kavanaugh: 89 🔸 Gorsuch: 66 🔸 Kagan: 87 🔸 Sotomayor: 72 🔸 Alito: 92 🔸 Roberts: 72 🔸 Breyer: 77 🔸 Ginsburg: 50 🔸 Thomas: 106 Republicans are rushing Barrett's confirmation to take away your health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

As the Senate confirmation hearing continues, remember that 74 percent of Americans want us to pass a COVID relief bill before confirming a new Supreme Court justice. Senate Republicans are going against the will of the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Technology shouldn't be exclusionary. No store or restaurant should turn someone away because they don't have a credit or debit card. This discriminates against the 1-in-5 Americans who lack regular access to a bank — mostly in low-income & Black & brown communities. @ninaturner — PolitiTweet.org

@mattbc I absolutely do not believe we should compromise the ADA. I believe we can stick to our guns on that issue and still get a deal. But I am with you in no compromise on the ADA. Thanks for raising that. — PolitiTweet.org

House Democrats have passed 2 bills to give people relief checks, enhanced unemployment, rental assistance, help for small businesses & funding for schools. McConnell has blocked these bills for 5 months. Now he's rushing to confirm Barrett even though voting has already begun. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is the Senate holding confirmation hearings right now instead of voting on a COVID relief bill? Asking on behalf of 12 million unemployed Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

As millions of Americans wait for a new relief package, Senate Republicans are spending this week working to strip health coverage from 23 million Americans and end protections for the 130 million people with pre-existing conditions during a global pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias @MattZeitlin @JStein_WaPo Matt is correct :) But quite a few members hearing story of people’s rent coming due, struggling with food and electricity. The moral responsibility is weighing on them and a lot of quiet support in caucus for getting this done. — PolitiTweet.org

People in need can’t wait until February. 1.8 trillion is significant & more than twice Obama stimulus. It will allow Biden to start with infrastructure. Obama won in 08 by doing the right thing on TARP instead of what was expedient. Make a deal & put the ball in McConnell court. — PolitiTweet.org

When you cast your ballot, remember that the same Senate Republicans who blocked COVID-19 relief for over four months are rushing as quickly as possible to confirm Amy Coney Barrett and take away your health coverage. — PolitiTweet.org

While we fight for a sustainable future, Exxon Mobil is planning to increase emissions. By how much? The equivalent of 26 coal-fired power plants. This would be a disaster for our planet and shows why we need the Green New Deal now. https://t.co/a5IcPDiJzT — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

For every progressive policy proposal that continues to stall in Congress despite being popular, there are special interests spending millions to stop our progress. We need to get PACs and lobbyists out of our elections. https://t.co/KNlWyxdS9P — PolitiTweet.org
