With most Americans stuck at home due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the internet is more important than ever for 📰 Keeping up with the latest news 📚 Learning and homework 💬 Contacting loved ones 💼 Finding a job 🏥 Telemedicine We must expand high-speed broadband to all. — PolitiTweet.org

Most Americans know that we have a system that allows people with money and power to have a huge influence — while those who can’t afford a lobbyist are too often ignored. Bold campaign finance reform must finally gets PACs and lobbyists out of our elections once and for all. https://t.co/imE3beVE97 — PolitiTweet.org

More states have taken action over the past few days but there are still too many areas of the country that aren’t doing enough to protect residents from this global pandemic. We need to listen to the scientists and put forth a unified response: National Shelter-In-Place NOW. https://t.co/p96Y1b7rcl — PolitiTweet.org

6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment last week. #COVID19 has cost nearly 10 million people their jobs. We must provide monthly assistance, halt evictions and guarantee healthcare. https://t.co/Os3e8U9pez — PolitiTweet.org

The question isn’t “how do you pay for Medicare for All?” The question people should be asking is how do working and middle class Americans afford to pay some of the highest prices in the world for medical treatment and prescription drugs? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The post office is in danger of running out of funds due to COVID-19 — but privatization isn't the answer. Instead let's pass postal banking to generate revenue and overturn the law requiring the USPS to prefund all retiree health benefits through 2056. https://t.co/65KqQcqPqB — PolitiTweet.org

There are millions of Americans working on the frontlines as home health aides, child care workers, grocery store employees, delivery drivers & in other essential services. They deserve: 😷 Protective equipment to keep them safe from COVID-19 🛏️ Paid sick leave 💵 Living wages — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, ⁦@DeanObeidallah⁩ Democrats should adopt ⁦@BernieSanders⁩ agenda since his campaign is about completing FDR’s fourth term. https://t.co/VV0IQKGlrl — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Millions of Americans have already lost their jobs and this crisis is going to get even worse. Every person who is unemployed should receive Medicare so that they don’t go into financial ruin if they get sick. https://t.co/tV2iSkdpFv — PolitiTweet.org

And I appreciate the 5 other counties that joined Santa Clara to do it together on Cody’s recommendation. What Bay Area counties did is really an extraordinary feat! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

RT if you agree that a one-time $1,200 stimulus check won’t be enough when almost 10 million Americans have lost their jobs over the past two weeks. Congress must pass the bill I introduced to @TimRyan to give monthly checks of up to $2,000 to those who need our help the most. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

So proud of Sara Cody & Santa Clara in my district for being the first to shelter in place. Their decision saved lives. The nation needs to listen to Cody. She’s far more effective than almost all the politicians. Let scientists & medical experts lead. https://t.co/RfBEL3UmDK — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The lack of paid sick leave for many workers leaves them with an impossible choice: Either risk going to work and spreading COVID-19 or stay home without enough money to pay the bills. Universal paid sick leave is about public health. https://t.co/cut5MpTHBc — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

As people with asthma become more prone to breathing issues due to the spread of COVID-19, this important question must be asked: Does anyone think that it’s acceptable that Americans pay four times as much for asthma medication as our neighbors to the north? https://t.co/JHlqJEIfxy — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Health insurance premiums could rise up to 40% due to the unanticipated costs of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of passing those costs on to people who already pay the highest prices for health care, let's pass Medicare for All and eliminate premiums. https://t.co/GqApmPBi8f — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

All those who think that our health care system offers "freedom" should talk to the nearly 10M people who lost their jobs over the past two weeks. Health care shouldn't be tied to employment. Medicare for All would give people freedom and stability in their health care choices. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

More people filed for unemployment last week than ever before - 4x as many as the height of the Great Recession. This week, the number of weekly unemployment claims DOUBLED. I am calling for an immediate moratorium on: 💸 Rent 🏠 Evictions ⚡ Utility bills 🏥 Health care costs — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Multiple poll workers in Florida became sick with COVID-19 after the primary. It’s irresponsible for Wisconsin to force people to risk their lives to vote. Wisconsin should either switch to vote-by-mail or delay the primary. https://t.co/3W4tYu7rVb — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There are 140M Americans who live in poverty or with low wealth and unless they file a simple tax return, they won’t be eligible for stimulus money because they earned too little to pay income tax. People shouldn't have to go through extra steps when they need our help now. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It’s no shock that Medicare for All has become more popular as Americans are faced with the reality that they could end up with thousands in hospital bills for COVID-19 treatment. We must follow the will of the people and pass Medicare for All. https://t.co/7WHhqJBluF — PolitiTweet.org

Wisconsin is 7,000 poll workers short and 111 communities have none at all. Milwaukee has cut the number of poll locations from 180 to 5. Elections shouldn’t put the voters in danger of getting sick or dying. The Wisconsin primary must be postponed. https://t.co/N3ZehjNZUf — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We tell working families to try and keep 3 months saved for a rainy day but multi-billion dollar corporations like our airlines did not have more than a few weeks of reserve for payroll! It’s outrageous. We need requirements for a minimum 6 month payroll reserve for corporations. — PolitiTweet.org

@SteveAHorn @BernieSanders @SpeakerPelosi @jimmy_dore @CultureShlock Please see Bernie Sanders support for this policy! https://t.co/hTU3LkJB8J — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@SteveAHorn @BernieSanders @SpeakerPelosi @jimmy_dore @CultureShlock We pushed for funding for start ups that had VC backing, not private equity. The money would go to keep people employed. Sanders is also supporting this! If we forced these start ups to go to VCs, they would demand 50 percent layoffs. It’s about saving jobs. No money goes to VC. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Dr. Fauci doesn’t understand why every state hasn’t issued a stay-at-home order. I agree. That’s why I called for a national shelter-in-place last week. It would slow the spread of #COVID19, ensure our hospitals aren’t overwhelmed, and save lives. https://t.co/Wov44uhnul — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Many of those on the frontlines, including child care workers, delivery drivers & people who work at grocery stores and gas stations don’t have insurance. They would be left with high hospital bills if they get sick. All COVID-19 treatment must be free. https://t.co/uJ8ig7w95f — PolitiTweet.org
