Funding food banks isn't nearly enough when 30 million Americans have lost their jobs. This moment requires bold solutions. The long lines at food pantries will continue unless we also expand SNAP benefits. @RobertLeonard @BetoORourke @MattRussellCRF https://t.co/pKxxSgHVok — PolitiTweet.org

💵 Stimulus check: $1,200 🏘️ Average U.S. rent: $1,231 A one-time check that doesn’t even cover basic needs can’t be the extent of our relief to working people. Congress can't keep putting struggling Americans on the back burner. It's time to #PutPeopleFirst. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

While defense contractors ask for "billions and billions" of COVID-19 relief, frontline workers lack protections, small businesses are closing, and people across this country are struggling. Our next stimulus must focus on the neediest among us. https://t.co/jc1XLizQFz — PolitiTweet.org

Over 30 million Americans have lost their jobs in five weeks. Many have also lost their health insurance. Does anyone still think that linking employment to health care is a good idea? With Medicare for All, a lost job will no longer mean losing the ability to get health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This is an outstanding piece by ⁦@davidaxelrod⁩ & ⁦@davidplouffe⁩. Given they ran the most successful Democratic campaigns in modern history, every Democrat should read it carefully and try to adopt the lessons they are offering. https://t.co/TK0io4xgcc — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

11 million people lost their jobs in March. Nearly 3/4 of them didn’t receive unemployment benefits. It's clear that we have to do more than expand unemployment. Let’s give $2000/month to everyone struggling right now. https://t.co/UUI8Uyq8c5 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It's an absolute travesty that most people who lost their jobs in March didn't even receive their unemployment benefits. Ordinary Americans need our help now. A one-time check isn't enough. @TimRyan and I demand that Congress give $2,000/month to the working and middle class. https://t.co/tm5jppavNg — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Nearly 9 million people are more than 30 minutes away from a hospital. That discourages people from seeking care & means even small COVID-19 outbreaks can overwhelm rural hospitals. Every American deserves health care. We must invest in these communities. https://t.co/KZ4kCNL83n — PolitiTweet.org

We have spent $6.4 trillion on military conflicts in the Middle East and Asia since 2001. Imagine the difference that trillions could have made if invested in: 🏫 Public education ☀️ Climate action 🚊 Infrastructure 🏥 Healthcare 🖥️ Broadband No more endless wars. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This pandemic has taken a huge economic toll on millions of Americans. It's been especially impactful on black and brown communities. This inequality mirrors the racial disparities that existed before COVID-19. Our recovery efforts must center economic justice. https://t.co/WU5ry2BXeu — PolitiTweet.org

As Gandhi once said: “The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” The next stimulus bill must include: ✅ @ewarren's and my Essential Workers Bill of Rights ✅ @TimRyan's & my bill to give $2,000/month to those who need it most — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Even before COVID-19, there were many children in America who didn't have access to internet and computers at home. The homework gap has now become a school gap as all learning is happening online. Now more than ever, we must expand high-speed broadband to every community. https://t.co/Q3QUXaJOSX — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

While many small businesses were excluded from the COVID-19 relief loan program, banks made $10 billion from fees despite taking on almost no risk. We must provide help to small businesses and ordinary Americans, not banks and corporations. https://t.co/Bfo0NKMfEK — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Our next coronavirus package must provide relief to ❌ Billionaires ✅ Ordinary Americans ❌ Corporations ✅ Small businesses ❌ Defense Contractors ✅ Essential workers — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Too many Americans are still forced to work while sick because large corporations aren't required to offer paid sick leave. This puts other employees, their families and the whole community at risk. Universal paid sick leave must become a reality. https://t.co/G2mWNfaHf4 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Have you ever felt sick but were forced to go to work anyway because you couldn't afford to lose the paycheck? This was a public health crisis even before COVID-19. Congress must pass universal paid sick leave NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There are 60 million essential workers keeping this nation moving and too many lack living wages, adequate benefits, and COVID-19 protection. @ewarren and I have introduced the Essential Workers Bill of Rights to fight for the workers who are too often ignored. https://t.co/qnZWXtZZBb — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

GoFundMe is filled with: 🚨 Small businesses struggling to stay afloat. 🚨People drowning in unpaid bills. 🚨 Mutual aid networks supporting the communities who need our help now. Congress must act urgently to give $2,000 per month to working and middle class Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Any company that uses COVID-19 as an excuse to fire workers who are trying to unionize should be ashamed of themselves. Unions have fought for workers' rights for generations. Now we must fight to make sure that every worker can join a union. #MayDay https://t.co/dSa66xmgGC — PolitiTweet.org

This #MayDay, we must honor the millions of workers who keep the electricity and internet flowing, make sure that we can get groceries and medicine, and care for the sick. They've been invisible for too long. @ewarren and I wrote the Essential Workers Bill of Rights for them. https://t.co/R8dskhKlRC — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Even before COVID-19, millions of Americans earned low wages with few benefits and lacked job security. The result of decades of declining union membership. On #MayDay and every day we must protect collective bargaining and make it easier to join unions. https://t.co/lsiC6011ta — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This analysis is spot on. The key insight by ⁦@ezraklein⁩ is that Democrats must prioritize automatic triggers while we have leverage or we could be hamstrung once we take back the White House. https://t.co/8guAeDK3Vd — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If you’ve received packages, ordered food, or used the internet, it’s time to recognize the workers making our lives possible. They deserve our decency & respect: let's stand with them. Let's listen to them. Tonight at 5p ET, hear their stories w/ @AOC: https://t.co/pbiNl34u8w https://t.co/tqH098NVZc — PolitiTweet.org
