Today, tapes were released of Trump bragging to Bob Woodward about lying to the American people about the deadly risk of COVID-19. Trump lied and 190,000 Americans died. The choice for independents is simple: Do you trust him to keep your family safe for four more years? — PolitiTweet.org

Trump cut enhanced unemployment benefits to $300/week and many people like Fakisha aren't even receiving it because they get less than $100/week in regular unemployment benefits. Congress needs to fully extend these benefits. https://t.co/Zhvx6OziWJ — PolitiTweet.org

While billions in PPP loans went to companies who received multiple loans or were flagged as potentially problematic, many women and minority-owned businesses didn't get anything. We need to help the small businesses who continue to be left behind. https://t.co/01l2bYY1ey — PolitiTweet.org

12 million Americans have lost their employer-sponsored health insurance since this pandemic started. 12 million. If we had Medicare for All, that number would be zero. Let's join the rest of the developed world and guarantee health care to every American from birth. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Millions of Americans rely on the USPS everyday for medication, checks, equipment and basic needs. Why do Republicans oppose bailing out the post office when they just passed the airline bailout in April for the same amount? Let's get to work on fully funding the USPS. https://t.co/xC3hR1AwQy — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Even before DeJoy's sabotage, a USPS watchdog found several issues that slowed down the processing of election mail in May and June. We can't wait on DeJoy. We need a postmaster general who will make sure that all mail-in ballots are delivered on time. https://t.co/EuOKKwIlEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Our times call for more thinking, for more listening, for more examining. I still believe in Rawls hope that we can find an overlapping consensus about fundamental American ideas that will lead to a just society. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I don’t know why I felt so moved by that story. Other than to say we live in such polarized times with far too much certitude in our own opinions. Great philosophers like Rawls suggest that there is a humility within our character and a capacity for shared understanding. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There was a long line of students waiting to ask Rawls a question. Bruce had to leave. That evening Rawls called Bruce, a 21 year old student, and said so did you have a question for me that you did not get to ask. Rawls was a towering intellect who valued everyone’s opinion. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I was chatting with Bruce Ackerman tonight, a student of John Rawls. He talked about how Rawls belief in a reasonable pluralism and hope for an overlapping consensus in America stemmed from his fundamental decency. Bruce remembers taking his class of 200 students... — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@BernieSanders, I know you’re not big on the niceties of birthdays. But on this day I’m thinking the best way to celebrate you is for your supporters to reaffirm our steadfast commitment to Medicare for All. We will prevail. Honored to have co-chaired your campaign. https://t.co/n7M1FzC5k2 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Share of people uninsured by labor market status, 2014-2018 🔹 Employed: 11.6% 🔹 Not in labor force: 17.5% 🔹 Unemployed: 29.8% These numbers should be zero. Health care is a human right. We must keep fighting for Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Republicans let the enhanced unemployment benefits that kept millions out of poverty expire last month. Now the number of unemployed Americans struggling to afford basic needs has DOUBLED. This is an emergency with a clear solution: $2000/month for the duration of this crisis. https://t.co/Em1h5yhZ2B — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

By cutting the deadline short, Trump is impeding the constitutional mandate of the Census and undercounting people of color — leaving them with fewer resources and less representation in government. Congress must act now to extend the deadline. https://t.co/cBpCPrbtKK — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Only 42% of the jobs that were lost in March and April have been recovered, and there are many more people looking for work than available jobs. This unprecedented crisis requires a bold solution. Fully extend the enhanced unemployment benefits and give people $2,000/month. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Louis DeJoy still holds a stake in XPO Logistics and their business with USPS has increased since he became Postmaster General. This is just the latest example of cronyism from the Trump administration. DeJoy must be removed immediately. https://t.co/MY25yJr6wX — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The latest unemployment figures look impressive due to a change in how seasonal adjustments are measured, but the unadjusted figures show that this crisis continues. McConnell says a relief bill will take months. We passed the HEROES Act months ago. What's he waiting for? https://t.co/jPDVuSXYR9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Today on #LaborDay, we thank unions for defending the rights of workers for generations. In a post-Janus America, we have to fight to defend unions — the counterbalance to corporate power. https://t.co/aklncivwbV — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

DeJoy is a top Republican donor who reportedly paid his employees to contribute to campaigns. He also lied to the Oversight committee. He doesn't have the credibility to preside over the USPS during this critical election. DeJoy must be removed as Postmaster General. https://t.co/dxBv3lksL5 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I know you do not believe facts matter. But if you are really opposed to companies that make bombs and planes making money, why have you proposed over $140 billion MORE in defense spending than Obama, including a slush fund for endless wars. https://t.co/W18IN0WGFM — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This is one of the most important charts that you will see this #LaborDay. As union membership has declined, the share of income going to the top 1% has skyrocketed. To fight inequality and rebuild the middle class, we must make sure that every worker can join a union. https://t.co/xnfRcAzH3h — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This #LaborDay, let’s consider that worker productivity has increased almost 70 percent in the last four decades. But wages have increased only 11.6 percent for the working class. American workers deserve a raise. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Public support for labor unions is at its highest point since 2003 but only 16 percent of Americans are in a union today. At a time of record inequality and unprecedented job insecurity, we must fight to defend and expand collective bargaining. #LaborDay https://t.co/wh9gqUngIr — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of Americans rely on the U.S. Postal Service every day. We are months away from an election where millions will vote by mail. Louis DeJoy has made it clear that he has no plans for undoing his sabotage. Remove DeJoy and fully fund USPS. https://t.co/ZPYjsHpS5N — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Despite DeJoy's claims that he would roll back his sabotage: 📫 Mail sorting machines haven't been reinstalled 📫 Overtime pay has not fully returned 📫 Post office hours are still reduced If he won't take action, we need a postmaster general who will. https://t.co/ntbbVHcsUo — PolitiTweet.org
