4/ “As a nation, our priorities have become horribly distorted. Congress listens to the lobbyists from the powerful defense industry and ignores the pain of so many who are suffering during this historic time.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

3/ “How can it be that we have enough to spend more on defense than the next eleven countries combined, but we don’t have enough to make sure every American child has a roof over their head and enough food to eat?” — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

2/ “The time is now to wage a moral and political war against war itself. The time is now to address the true causes of war: poverty, hatred, hopelessness and ignorance. The time is now to cut military spending and use that money for human needs.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

1/ @BernieSanders provides great clarity: “If this horrific coronavirus pandemic has shown us anything, it is that national security involves a lot more than bombs, missiles, tanks, submarines, nuclear warheads and other weapons of mass destruction.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If Congress invests at least $200B in public schools, we will make significant progress in closing the racial opportunity gap, ending the school-to-prison pipeline and dismantling oppression in our schools. Our children need us today more than ever. It's time to #BeTheirHeroes — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Instead of cutting school budgets, we need more: ✅ Nurses to keep students healthy ✅ Custodians to make sure classrooms are clean ✅ Teachers to reduce class sizes ✅ Counselors and psychologists to support students' mental health — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The loss in local and state revenue due to the pandemic will lead to massive budget cuts for public schools. This would be an absolute disaster. We should invest even more in our public schools so that students, teachers, and staff are safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Schools must have enough funding to teach students remotely, keep children safe when classrooms re-open & avoid laying off teachers. I'm proud to sign this letter from over 60 @BernieSanders and @JoeBiden delegates demanding that Congress invest at least $200B in public schools. https://t.co/qKUjq3pLCw — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This is a modern day poll tax. Period. It must be overturned. https://t.co/dynsbuGZHV — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I’m proud to endorse @JulieOliverTX in her fight to flip #TX25! Her voice and healthcare expertise are needed right now to advance the progressive movement in Congress. She rejects PAC money and I know she will be instrumental in working to get big money out of our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trump gets tested every day. His results come back in hours. He knows that testing keeps him safe. Now he’s fighting to block billions of dollars that states need to conduct testing. Trump wants testing for himself but not for you. That’s what shameless hypocrisy looks like. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I am in solidarity with all of the workers across the country who are participating in the #StrikeForBlackLives today. Together we must keep fighting to end racial injustice, discrimination, and police violence in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

As I wrote in an op-ed last week: "After nearly two decades of shipping American flag-draped caskets from Afghanistan, the withdrawal of our brave men and women in uniform — while they are still alive — is long overdue.” But the military-industrial complex never sleeps. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I demanded a national shelter in place on March 24th. 20 colleagues signed on. That was the first congressional call. It could've given us time to mass produce supplies, set up contract tracing & provide masks for all. Instead, states rushed to re-open. We are in an emergency. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Love the @genebsperling idea of an economic dignity wage. And increase in minimum wage plus expand EITC and childcare. Just re-read his book this weekend and leaves you hoping he’ll play a big role in a third Dem Administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Gilead Sciences developed remdesivir with more than $70M in public funding. Now they want to charge Americans over 300X as much as it costs to manufacture. Not on our watch. All COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines must be made available for all. https://t.co/uI456vTcUP — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Number of jobs available: 5.4 million Number of Americans unemployed: 18 million Telling people to find new jobs and offering a "back to work" bonus is not going to cut it. We have to extend unemployment benefits and give ordinary Americans $2,000/month. — 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

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It should be clear now that prematurely relaxing COVID-19 restrictions didn't boost the economy. I have a better idea: ✅ Invest billions to manufacture PPE and medical supplies in the U.S. ✅ Hazard pay for all essential workers ✅ $2,000/month for ordinary Americans — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

A single $1200 check from April isn't enough when it's already July. Especially when many Americans never even received the first check. People need help right now. @TimRyan and I have a bill for that: $2,000/month to ordinary Americans for the duration of this crisis. https://t.co/JzwL7tlU5l — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

While over 1 million Americans file for unemployment every single week, we spend more on our military than ever before. I'm fighting to change our priorities. Let's invest billions to create cleantech jobs in communities throughout America — not tanks and warplanes. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The death penalty is inhumane, discriminates against people of color and should be found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

When we say that the minimum wage isn't a living wage, this is what we mean. People earning the minimum wage can't afford a 2BR apartment anywhere in this country. Even while working full-time. A decade is long enough. Raise the minimum wage to at least $15/hour. #FightFor15 https://t.co/E61CLSGSqm — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We’re in the midst of an unemployment crisis. Millions have lost their healthcare. We’re on the precipice of an eviction crisis. The wealthiest nation in the world can afford to support its people. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

COVID-19 should have made it clear to anyone still on the fence: Health care should no longer be tied to employment in the United States. I will fight to make sure that Medicare for All is part of the Democratic Party platform. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It’s time for a nationwide eviction moratorium. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This crisis has made it clear: Health care should no longer be tied to employment in America. I am fighting for Medicare for All to be included in the Democratic Party platform. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@BethDoglio has been standing up to corporate special interests for her entire career. I’m proud to endorse her for Congress and look forward to fighting alongside her for working families, Medicare for All, and a clean future. — PolitiTweet.org
