Republicans want to spend $7B on weapons and $11B to reimburse defense contractors while cutting enhanced unemployment benefits for everyday Americans. People are struggling to pay the rent and buy food. No more money for endless wars. https://t.co/npk8lBAhei — PolitiTweet.org

This pandemic is an emergency. Congress must pass a bold relief bill that: ✅ Expands our testing capacity ✅ Extends the eviction moratorium ✅ Passes the Essential Workers Bill of Rights ✅ Gives ordinary Americans $2,000/month ✅ Invests $200 billion in our public schools — PolitiTweet.org

This pandemic has revealed the failures of our health care system. Millions of Americans have lost their coverage. Millions more struggle with high premiums and deductibles. I will keep fighting for Medicare for All to be included in the DNC platform. https://t.co/XMfF1nZqjW — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans stalled for months on protections and hazard pay for essential workers. Now they are pushing a 5-year liability shield for businesses that force employees to come back to work. How about supporting frontline workers instead of worrying about them suing? — PolitiTweet.org

Americans relying on enhanced unemployment benefits aren't putting $ in the bank. They are spending the extra $600 on groceries, utilities, rent, and other expenses. Letting these benefits expire will put people in a dire situation & damage consumer spending and our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Enhanced unemployment benefits have kept millions of Americans from falling deep into poverty. Cutting this benefit by 2/3rd will cause untold human suffering as people continue losing their jobs during this pandemic. Fully extend the benefits now. https://t.co/F35fyuBBsA — PolitiTweet.org

Millions have lost their jobs. They should not lose their healthcare. Our party has been for MedicareForAll since FDR & Truman. It was stripped from our platform in 1980. I stand with all of the activists who believe that our party must stand for extending Medicare to everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There are three times as many Americans officially unemployed and six times as many Americans receiving unemployment benefits as there are available jobs. How will a payroll tax cut help them? The clock is ticking. Extend enhanced unemployment benefits now. https://t.co/3JY7rALDBT — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Share if you agree that $200/week isn't enough. We must keep fighting to fully extend unemployment benefits at $600/week. https://t.co/P80Ko7tPtX — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Major corporations paid huge bonuses to executives, furloughed or laid off their workers, and then requested bankruptcy protection. This is not right. Instead of blanket bailouts for corporations we need to bail out the millions of workers struggling. https://t.co/oFOyTyXaqR — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Progressive ideas are nothing new. Truman ran on Medicare for All and College for All. If he could be elected president in the 1940s, there’s no reason we can’t finish enacting those policies today. Read my interview with @normansolomon: https://t.co/144u1wIv1G — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

America should invest in: ✅ Cleantech jobs ✅ Renewables ✅ High-speed rail Instead of: ❌ Endless war ❌ Military interventionism ❌ Defense contractors Let's be bold and cut Trump's bloated military spending so we can invest in our people. — PolitiTweet.org

The Republicans argue that people are making more money with the $600 unemployment insurance therefore it’s a disincentive to go back to work. They should then support paying people a living wage! Tell Republicans they can’t have it BOTH ways. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trump told states that easing COVID-19 restrictions would boost our economy. Now the pandemic is surging and many states are closing down again. A disaster for small businesses and communities. Ignoring science won't help the economy. Giving people $2,000/month will. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Betsy Devos wants schools to re-open but has no plan for what to do when a student gets sick or how to structure classrooms with limited space. Our children must not be used as political tools. Schools should only re-open if local public health officials say that it's safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The impending housing crisis will be far worse than the Great Recession unless we take action now. We must 🛑 evictions and foreclosures, provide 🏠 assistance, and give 💵 $2000 per month to working and middle class Americans. https://t.co/Qm2WyXDbiy — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The enhanced unemployment benefits that kept millions of Americans out of poverty during this pandemic will expire on August 1st without action. People need our help immediately. Extend these benefits and give $2,000/month to ordinary Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

While our nation spends billions on defense contractors and endless wars, millions of Americans struggle to pay their bills and stay in their homes. We desperately need a change of priorities. Stop investing in the military industrial complex and start investing in people. https://t.co/OR5SZsoeqy — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The United States has the most COVID-19 cases and deaths in the world and is fourth in per capita deaths. This is an emergency. Our response must meet this moment. We need to mass produce PPE and medical supplies, require masks nationwide and invest heavily in public health. https://t.co/iAlDJXcvWj — PolitiTweet.org

The threat of climate change continues to grow & fossil fuel companies are doing everything in their power to roll back environmental regulations. They also spent $125M lobbying Congress last year. We can't let them derail our fight for a clean future. https://t.co/Xp8NMyeXLj — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Let's say a student is in 7 classes every day with 20 other students. They take the bus with 30 classmates and eat lunch with 100 others. How could all of those children, teachers, and support staff be quarantined for 14 days whenever there's a new COVID-19 case? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The stimulus checks were meant to help the most vulnerable among us. Instead, many low-income and Black Americans received their checks late or didn't get one at all. Unacceptable. We need a new relief package that doesn't leave anyone behind. https://t.co/7wmmiy6G7K — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Why is the president of the United States telling local school boards whether or not they should re-open during a pandemic? This decision should be left to local health officials. I thought Republicans believed in the principles of federalism? https://t.co/PdbjKFEUvX — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Now is not the time to cut public school budgets. Schools need even more funding to protect and support students during this pandemic. Congress should invest $200 billion to hire nurses, custodians, teachers and counselors. #BeTheirHeroes https://t.co/RKxSYeg3rM — PolitiTweet.org

Students who don't have reliable internet access during this pandemic have trouble 🔷 Participating in video lessons 🔷 Finishing assignments 🔷 Doing research We need to close the learning gap by making sure that every American has high-speed broadband at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of people aren't out of work due to lack of motivation. People are lining up at food banks and unemployment offices around the country, because they can't find jobs. We must extend the enhanced unemployment benefits and give $2,000/month to ordinary Americans. — PolitiTweet.org
