Who benefits from a payroll tax cut? The wealthiest 20% of taxpayers. They're not the ones hardest hit during this crisis—everyday Americans are. We need to put them first by extending enhanced unemployment and providing more direct payments. https://t.co/fIX8nDEJiG — PolitiTweet.org

Prematurely relaxing COVID-19 restrictions led to massive outbreaks. Now bars and restaurants are forced to shut down again and people are losing their jobs. Here's a three step plan for boosting our economy while keeping Americans safe and economically secure. https://t.co/uDZOHlPvWB — PolitiTweet.org

No child should ever have to go hungry in a nation with so much wealth. School meals must be available for all. https://t.co/9tIwKBqiub — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of spending more and more on interventionism and endless war, we need a strategic 10 percent cut in the bloated military budget and invest in cleantech jobs. 93 House Democrats voted for this. via @TheDamageReport https://t.co/sMNuUppAYf — PolitiTweet.org

Our Constitution makes it clear that the Census counts all people regardless of immigration status. Once again, Trump is trying to subvert the rule of law to promote his xenophobic agenda. We must fight back. https://t.co/VIulxCUNBd — PolitiTweet.org

In a few days, enhanced unemployment benefits will run out. Millions of Americans are struggling to make basic ends meet. This pandemic continues to spread. Congress must act with the same urgency as all those who are unsure how to cover their rent and bills. — PolitiTweet.org

@marwilliamson Thanks for your leadership — PolitiTweet.org

The Voting Rights Act that John Lewis fought and almost died for was gutted by the Supreme Court in 2012. Since then, over 1,600 polling locations have been closed — mostly in Black and Brown communities. In his memory, Congress must restore and expand the Voting Rights Act. — PolitiTweet.org

The increase in testing cannot explain the massive surge of COVID-19 cases in the United States. The nation is calling for leadership. We need a unified response that invests in PPE and medical supplies, protects essential workers, and supports all those who are struggling. https://t.co/DUhcGL3dbv — PolitiTweet.org

.@TeboeCooper is a phenom. He is an exceptionally hard worker, he's humble and friendly, and has sound political judgment. He’s part of my inner circle and understands what we need to do as a party to win back communities that have been left behind. https://t.co/Bqb6CcSc6y — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trump and Republicans want you to believe that payroll tax cut is enough to replace the enhanced unemployment benefits. Here's the truth: It's just another bail out for the wealthiest Americans. https://t.co/7rOuXwv15C — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I don't want to hear anyone tell me that we can't afford to expand enhanced unemployment benefits when we spend more on endless wars than the next ten countries combined. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The enhanced unemployment benefits that millions of Americans depend on will expire in a few days. Payroll tax cuts & a "back to work" bonus won't help when there are three times as many people unemployed as there are open jobs. Extend the benefits now. https://t.co/5fg8OU3V3l — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Where are the cries for liberation when it comes to the secret police detaining protestors? It is sad that we have seen more outrage in our nation about mandates on masks than about the federal government literally taking over the streets of our cities. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

August rent is due in less than two weeks. Almost one-third of households missed their July housing payments. There will be an eviction crisis if we don't act immediately. https://t.co/7Hz4iRYU3u — 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

Republicans who seriously think that the $600/week unemployment benefit should be replaced by a bonus for people who find jobs need to do the math. There are more people looking for work than available jobs. Extend enhanced unemployment benefits. https://t.co/U0JNhJUmcq — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

While Trump donors and lobbyists were quickly approved for PPP loans, many Black lenders were rejected and faced discrimination from banks. Our next relief package must support the minority-owned businesses who are struggling to stay afloat. https://t.co/ZzwOQmL9AQ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It was 100 degrees in the Arctic Circle last month. The last five years were the hottest on record. Trump continues to weaken environmental laws. We must stop these rollbacks and demand bold action on climate. Our entire future is at stake. https://t.co/7khjOFnZWy — PolitiTweet.org

Brilliant book @ChuckRocha! Thanks for your strategy and passion for mobilizing the Latinx community. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Police officers have been shielded from accountability in civil court for far too long. People should be allowed to sue officers for misconduct. Most Americans agree — especially in Black and Latino communities: End qualified immunity. https://t.co/NFjbPbfADY — PolitiTweet.org

Funding overpaid contractors and endless wars while millions of Americans miss their rent and mortgage payments betrays our common humanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Our bill to cut Trump's bloated military spending received 93 votes. Even though it didn't pass, that's the most support a bill cutting defense spending has seen in decades. Our movement is building momentum. Together we are going to stop endless wars and invest in our people. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

“Unconscionable” describes tying healthcare to employment. No way to justify on moral grounds. Human compassion and social justice require us to expand Medicare coverage to all. The coronavirus is a threat to everyone. Why shouldn’t everyone have healthcare? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

While corporations receive blanket bailouts, millions of Americans have lost their health insurance, their small businesses, and are at risk of losing their homes. Help can't wait any longer. We need a relief package for the middle and working class. https://t.co/uqnltPMt9r — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Our military budget has gone up by $130 billion since Obama left office. Now the U.S. spends as much on our military as the next 10 countries combined while millions are unemployed. Here's an idea: cut 10% from the military budget and invest in clean tech jobs across America. — PolitiTweet.org

6/ Dr. King summoned hope in the midst of despair: “There is nothing, except a tragic death wish, to prevent us from reordering our priorities, so that the pursuit of peace will take precedence over the pursuit of war.” Today we must reorder our priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

5/ Dr. King said: “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” Our nation is now at a crossroads. Dr. King’s wisdom can guide us to a different path. https://t.co/UO9LCf7vG0 — PolitiTweet.org
