Trump has been downplaying COVID-19 ever since he called it a hoax in March. Over 80,000 have already died during this first wave, and the White House is ignoring the CDC recommendations that could prevent a second wave. These are facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The idea behind providing $2,000/month for ordinary Americans should be obvious: Either we give people money that they can spend to preserve businesses and boost the economy, or we don't spend the money and have massive unemployment and people struggling to survive. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Any time someone tells you that the post office is running out of money, tell them to talk to the Senate. There's a bill that's already passed the House & is sitting on McConnell's desk. It would overturn the law that forces the USPS to pre-fund retirees' benefits for decades. https://t.co/lWf1YfLxw9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Large corporations are begging for stimulus money after spending hundreds of millions on stock buybacks for investors. Instead of more bail outs for corporations and their lobbyists, we need to fight for the 40 percent of people in low-income households who lost their jobs. https://t.co/TX6rL37MQL — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Let's be clear: COVID-19 didn't force 27 million Americans off their health insurance. They lost their insurance because we have a morally challenged system that ties health care to employment. https://t.co/dOcnbQzwro — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Here's why re-opening without careful planning won't help the economy: 🔹 It could lead to more outbreaks which will force businesses to close again. 🔹 If people don't feel safe they won't go out. 🔹 It could prolong the COVID-19 crisis and make our recovery more difficult. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Anyone who believes that states should re-open to boost the economy despite a rising number of COVID-19 cases should look at this chart. If people don't feel safe, they aren't going to go out to eat. https://t.co/Qn3vKdXhzQ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

McConnell might feel comfortable pausing another stimulus package but ordinary Americans across this country can't pause their rent and utility payments. Essential workers can't pause going to work — even if they don't have PPE. We need bold action to #PutPeopleFirst. — PolitiTweet.org

States with Vote-by-Mail: 📧 Washington 📧 California 📧 Colorado 📧 Hawaii 📧 Oregon 📧 Utah Every state must be added to this list so that people across this nation can vote safely in November. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Black communities already face massive health inequities, higher rates of air pollution and underfunded hospitals. Now, they're being ravaged by COVID-19. We must provide immediate support to the communities most impacted and continue fighting racial inequality in America. https://t.co/qO73aWZeeF — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Instead of using the Defense Production Act for: ❌ Meatpackers Trump should be using it for: ✅ Approved treatments ✅ Hospital gowns ✅ Testing kits ✅ Ventilators ✅ Gloves ✅ Masks That's why @BernieSanders & I introduced the Emergency Medical Supplies Procurement Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Millions of Americans rely on the U.S. Postal Service for medicine and other important mail. If the same Republicans who supported blanket bailouts for corporations continue to deny aid, it could run out of money by Sept. We must save the USPS. https://t.co/ce2WXD6OGm — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This is shameful. The U.S has the manufacturing capability to not only address these shortages, but ensure they never happen again. @BernieSanders' & my bill would force Trump to use the Defense Production Act to make supplies for states that need them. https://t.co/oZ5vFw7iCe — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Our food supply chain isn’t broken because of COVID-19. It’s broken because a handful of corporations put profit over workers, the environment & our health. It’s time for family farmers to get a fair shake. The Farm System Reform Act would end Big Ag’s control of the industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Large factory farms are bad for 🌳 The environment 🏘️ Communities 💸 The economy 🚜 Farmers 👩‍🏭 Workers I'm proud to introduce the Farm System Reform Act with @CoryBooker and @ewarren so that huge corporations no longer have a stranglehold on our food supply. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are trying to stop the HEROES Act with their xenophobic rhetoric that essential worker protections will go to undocumented people. Who do they think picks the crops that sustain our food supply? Every worker in this country deserves to be protected from COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The HEROES Act will make sure that everyone can vote safely with 🗳️ National vote-by-mail with postage paid 🗳️ Same day and online voter registration 🗳️ At least 15 days of early voting This shouldn't be a partisan issue. — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate the Biden/Bernie task forces. One person whose voice we need is @ninaturner. I was inspired by her on the trail for @BernieSanders. She gets economic & racial justice. She has the backing of the movement & will help lead our country to a progressive future. — PolitiTweet.org

The HEROES Act includes: ✅ Hazard pay & safety standards for essential workers ✅ Healthcare benefits for those who lost their jobs ✅ Funding for testing and contact tracing ✅ Student debt relief This can’t wait. McConnell must bring it up for a vote in the Senate ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Where has the $6.4 trillion spent on military conflicts in the Middle East and Asia since 2001 gotten us? Al-Qaeda is in more countries than ever before and the Taliban controls 70% of the territory in Afghanistan. We need to stop endless wars & start investing in our people. https://t.co/x8ae2ZdWDA — PolitiTweet.org

@txleftist @BBA_James @HumanistReport Thanks. Those assets are separate property of my wife prior to our marriage. I have no control over them and it’s certainly not my place to tell her what to do with it. I personally have no stocks. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

A month ago, @ewarren and I introduced the Essential Workers Bill of Rights. Many of our demands are in the HEROES Act that passed the House. This is not the time for petty politics. The Senate must #ProtectEssentialWorkers who are risking their lives to keep America moving. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Nobody should have to choose between putting their family and community at risk or losing the right to vote. This is the most important election of our lives. The American people agree that Congress must pass national vote-by-mail. https://t.co/8UObe2e8ar — PolitiTweet.org
