@nycbubbles @SallyAlbright My focus is policy. I have endorsed only in one primary against an incumbent and that is Marie Newman who was running against someone anti choice and anti ACA. Look forward to continuing the dialogue and working together for a decisive win in November — PolitiTweet.org

@nycbubbles @SallyAlbright We’re on the same team now. I appreciate the back and forth. I served in the Obama Administration. Always was respectful of VP Biden throughout the primary campaign and will be doing my small part to help us end the moral bankruptcy of the past 4 years. — PolitiTweet.org

@SallyAlbright Actually, I have endorsed Biden and said I will do anything to help and have done a number of things if you ask his campaign. I have not conditioned my support on anything. I still like any citizen have the right to push for progressive policies which I will do. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@m_mendozaferrer Actually, I did publicly retract the endorsement and apologize for it when all of the sexist comments came out which I was not aware off when I endorsed. So I have been willing to admit mistakes when I have made them. — PolitiTweet.org

McConnell's priorities for the next stimulus bill should tell you who he represents: ❌ Protect essential workers ❌ Extend unemployment insurance ❌ Give $2k/month to ordinary Americans ❌ Expand healthcare to the newly unemployed ✅ Liability protections for businesses — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We've seen far too many images of police using tear gas, rubber bullets, and pepper spray against Americans marching for justice. Peaceful protesters shouldn't be treated like enemies in war. Police across this country need to be trained to de-escalate. https://t.co/rCnaMsb5Ls — PolitiTweet.org

The RNC claims that their challenge to California's new vote-by-mail law is about stopping "voter fraud." Here's the truth: It's about suppressing the right to vote during a global pandemic. We need nationwide vote-by-mail in November. https://t.co/1F0aTemmRe — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Black people in Minneapolis are ➡️ 19% of the population ➡️ 9% of the police ➡️ 58% of those subjected to police use of force. I introduced the PEACE Act with @LacyClayMO1 because police need to be held accountable for use of force. https://t.co/hAdXIjyme5 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

In the 6 years since Ferguson, only about a third of states have passed laws limiting police use-of-force. The PEACE Act will incentivize police departments to adopt a national standard so that lethal force is an absolute last result. Let's get it done. https://t.co/MZMhUGCdKF — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Those who cynically and consistently undermined ⁦⁦@BernieSanders⁩ campaign by calling him divisive and doubting his word of being a team player owe him an APOLOGY. https://t.co/h9KinflX5x — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Out of the 24 riots studied by the Kerner Commission in 1967, half were instigated by indiscriminate police action against protesters. People are in the streets precisely because of police violence. Police departments need to be demilitarized and trained in de-escalation. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Sean Monterrosa dropped to his knees and was lifting his hands when he was shot and killed by officers. Sisters lost their brother. Parents lost their son. These officers need to be held accountable. I stand with the family in demanding #Justice4Sean. https://t.co/YnSTYWyqXo — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If police hadn't used a no-knock warrant to raid #BreonnaTaylor's apartment and murder her, she would be turning 27 today. The officers have still not been charged or even fired from their jobs. Breonna's family deserves justice. #SayHerName and keep fighting. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Tens of thousands of people are marching in the streets despite a global pandemic and curfews across the country. They've made it clear: justice can't wait any longer. The House must reconvene immediately and pass comprehensive police reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Congress must take concrete action: ✅ Pass a new standard that makes force a last resort ✅ Call on the DOJ to investigate police misconduct ✅ Support all-civilian review boards ✅ Prevent the Pentagon from sending excess military equipment to police ✅ Ban the chokehold — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Yes he did, Gianna. We owe it to his memory to enact real change in this country. Congress, it's time to get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

One striking feature of these protests is how the police in many cities have become indistinguishable from our military. Our massive defense spending since 9/11 has come back home. We need to stop the Pentagon from sending excess equipment to local police departments. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Unity will never be achieved by asking for an accommodation to injustice but only by an intentional national undertaking to redress injustice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Derek Chauvin had his knee on George Floyd's neck for over ten minutes. It took massive protests for him to be charged. The County Attorney said “this is by far the fastest we’ve ever charged a police officer." This is how hard it is to hold police accountable in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Fatal Shootings by Police in 2018: 🇳🇿: 1 🇯🇵: 2 🇸🇪: 6 🇩🇪: 11 🇫🇷: 26 . . . 🇺🇸 992 Police in the U.S. kill more people in days than police in other countries kill in years. We need action now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Many countries have less than three lethal police shootings per month. The United States had an average of three PER DAY in 2019. This cannot continue. Congress must take bold sweeping action to end the violence and hold police accountable. https://t.co/L64w50SlBO — PolitiTweet.org
