Federal minimum wage: 💵 2010: $7.25/hr 💵 2020: $7.25/hr Republicans are worried that enhanced unemployment discourages people from working. But Is the extra $600/week the problem, or is it our shockingly low wages? — PolitiTweet.org

With the billions of dollars we spend every year on endless war, we could create jobs in America, fund free public college, address climate change, and more. It’s time to stop endless war. RT if you agree. https://t.co/FAFlCL0Z74 — PolitiTweet.org

There are Americans who are already worrying about how they’ll pay August rent and bills. Congress needs to act immediately on relief for those who need it the most. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

With enhanced unemployment, Americans have been able to feed their families, take care of medical needs, and pay for bills. Enhanced unemployment is improving our economy and the lives of millions. Why do Republicans want to end them? https://t.co/d3JexKFTjG — PolitiTweet.org

45M people are unemployed. COVID-19 cases are rising across America. Tens of millions have lost healthcare. We’re in the midst of an extraordinary crisis that requires extraordinary solutions. Congress must provide monthly checks, rental assistance and Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

🔹 88% of Americans think police should wear body cameras 🔹 86% believe we need clear use-of-force standards 🔹 87% want police to be required to report misconduct 🔹 85% think police should be prosecuted for misconduct The American people are clear: we need police reform now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

As states see surging COVID-19 cases, some people are being laid off a second time. Many have already spent their relief check. They're using savings, struggling to pay bills. Unless Congress bails out working people, there won’t be an economic recovery. https://t.co/d0o53Q5PK3 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Republicans seem to be satisfied with how much relief we’ve passed for COVID-19, but millions of Americans have yet to receive their stimulus checks from April. RT if you’re one of them. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Not only do 600 billionaires have more wealth than the bottom 50% of Americans combined, those billionaires are actually getting richer during this pandemic as millions struggle. The corporate tax cuts and bailouts must end. It’s time for Congress to #PutPeopleFirst. https://t.co/kSvbZJsOhB — PolitiTweet.org

No one should be forced onto the street during a pandemic. We need a nationwide moratorium on evictions. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The Arctic hit over 100 degrees. Earth is at its warmest in over 12,000 years. With every passing day, the threat of climate change becomes more urgent. We must act boldly and immediately. https://t.co/OicPOqSlmZ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We are living in an unprecedented public health crisis. Millions have already lost their health care. Instead of expanding coverage, Trump is trying to end the ACA and strip health care from 20M Americans. We will not go backward. We must push forward toward Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Protests haven’t stopped. People are still in the streets demanding justice and change. The Senate can’t turn its back on the millions of Americans who want action. They must move immediately to pass the Justice in Policing Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The U.S. is 4% of the world’s population, but over 25% of the world’s COVID-19 cases and deaths. America First, indeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

D.C. residents pay taxes. They work as hard and struggle as hard as residents of any other state. They’re as American as anyone else. It is long past time for D.C. statehood. — PolitiTweet.org

This moment is presenting us with an opportunity to truly live up to our founding vision and ideals: freedom, democracy, and the notion that all men are created equal. This July 4th, let’s reflect how we can rise to this moment and commit to fighting for a better future for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The Paycheck Protection Program has failed to save as many jobs and small businesses as we needed it to. It’s clear: we need to support people directly. A true bailout for the people is the only way towards a full economic recovery. https://t.co/MVs1tA2kti — PolitiTweet.org

Insulin's original patent was sold in 1923 for only $1 so that it would be available to all who needed it. Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine in 1955 and then gave it away for free. We can't let Big Pharma profit from this pandemic. The vaccine must be free. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

ACA enrollment is up 46% since the start of COVID-19. This is due to millions of Americans losing their employer-based coverage. Now Trump is urging the Supreme Court to repeal the ACA and strip health care from over 20 million. Not on our watch. https://t.co/Ns5W2g2IrA — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There are some cities where half of the budget goes to policing and surveilling people. But public safety is about people feeling stable in their communities. We must invest more in healthcare, education, housing, infrastructure & mental health than we do on social control. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Last year, California passed a new standard declaring that deadly force could only be used as a last resort. Now is the time to expand this nationwide. Congress must pass the PEACE Act to save lives. https://t.co/qBYzfqnK4u — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

For each day that we wait on bold police reform, more Black and Brown people will be killed. More officers will avoid accountability. The masses demanding justice can't afford lobbyists or large campaign contributions. All they have are their voices. Congress must listen. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Up to 10M Americans get their water from lead pipes, and water bills have skyrocketed more than 40 percent since 2010. I introduced the WATER Act with @BernieSanders and @BrendaLLawrence because every American has the right to clean, affordable water. https://t.co/jmSU51cBR8 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

COVID-19 has created a healthcare crisis in our country. Only in America does a lost job mean lost healthcare. It’s no surprise that Medicaid expansion is passing in states like Oklahoma. Right now, every American deserves access to healthcare. https://t.co/cxeXWRvrTC — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The wealth of billionaires has risen almost 20 percent since the COVID-19 pandemic started. Meanwhile millions have lost their jobs and health care. Thousands continue lining up at food banks across the country. Has your income gone up 20 percent? https://t.co/VJvrq8xuAX — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It’s clear: the Trump administration doesn’t value American workers. For them, it’s corporate profits over people. Always. We can’t force workers back to work, potentially expose them to COVID-19, and make them foot the bill for testing. Period. https://t.co/qqtONxqIAI — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Over 4000 complaints about COVID-19, just 1 citation. Under Trump, @OSHA_DOL has turned its back on workers. Now, workers across the nation are in danger and states are being forced to step in. All Americans deserve safe working conditions. Period. https://t.co/2ztme9ALMt — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We cannot allow Big Pharma to rake in massive profits off of a once-in-a-century pandemic. $3,000 for a course of remdesivir is outrageous. COVID-19 treatments and vaccines must be free at the point of service. Period. https://t.co/3sbUrikOE5 — PolitiTweet.org
