Over 3.28 million people filed for unemployment last week in a country where health care for millions is tied to their jobs. All COVID-19 treatment must be free and we have to keep fighting to pass Medicare for All so that losing a job doesn't mean losing access to health care. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
While some states like New York and California have instituted a full shelter-in-place, others only have them in certain areas. Some states have none at all. To stop the spread of COVID-19, we need a consistent policy that listens to the scientists: National Shelter-in-Place. https://t.co/DA4STW3pq2 — PolitiTweet.org

Providing hazard pay, paid sick leave, and safety gear to employees should be common sense during a global pandemic. I support the Instacart workers who are on strike today and will continue fighting to make sure that gig workers get the help they need. https://t.co/UwkYzuTsum — PolitiTweet.org

More than 3.3 million Americans filed unemployment claims last week due to the economic fallout from COVID-19. But rent is still due on April 1st. We need a nationwide moratorium on evictions & paying rent for working people until the crisis passes. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
This is great news. But we still need to make sure Gilead, along with every other pharmaceutical company, can’t price gouge and make outrageous profits on treatments for #COVID19. The vaccine and all treatments must be free for everyone. Period. https://t.co/og1OSaY3Qw — PolitiTweet.org

Forcing people to wait in line and touch shared surfaces to vote will only increase COVID-19 infections and create a public health crisis. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t hold elections and allow our democracy to function. Now is the time for national vote-by-mail. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
Our nurses are on the front lines of this pandemic and it’s unconscionable for them to not receive the proper staffing or equipment to safely care for patients. We must do everything we can to protect nurses from COVID-19. All of our lives depend on it. https://t.co/k54TyPZKxT — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
As we argue over which industries should get bailouts or which companies should offer paid family leave, people across the country are locked at home & anxious about the future. Any relief plan must center the 140 million Americans who are either low-income or live in poverty. https://t.co/daPh8WYruo — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been over five years since the war in Yemen began and Congress never voted once to authorize military action. My War Powers Resolution would have ended our involvement but Trump vetoed the bill. 2020 must be the year we finally end the war in Yemen. #YemenCantWait — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
Mississippi, Ohio, and Texas have all tried to restrict abortions in the past year. Now they want to use the COVID-19 outbreak as an excuse to deny women their reproductive rights. These rights are guaranteed by Roe v. Wade — even during a pandemic. https://t.co/acvH2EDRZo — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
Because of #COVID19, more than 37 million jobs are at risk of layoffs. 35 million of them are low-wage. For too many people, a one-time check won’t be enough to pay the bills. That's why @TimRyan and I have a bill to provide monthly checks for Americans who need it the most. https://t.co/CIDcdmHm39 — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
🔬 2018 CDC budget: $11.9 billion 🎖️ Money spent on endless war since 2001: $5.9 trillion The spread of COVID-19 highlights our lack of investment in public health. If we can spend trillions on military interventions around the world, we can afford to double the CDC budget. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
Even before the COVID-19 outbreak, 52 percent of children in America were considered poor or low-income. Providing bail outs and tax breaks for corporations won’t help these children. Our solutions to this crisis must prioritize the most vulnerable members of our community. https://t.co/2sg3yc3Pou — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
Trump calls himself a “wartime president” but where is the wartime response to this pandemic? We will need at least 3.5 billion N95 masks and tens of thousands of respirators. Trump must use the Defense Production Act so that our solutions meet the scale of this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
When cash infusions for ordinary Americans are tied to tax breaks and bailouts for corporations, it's a reflection of our system which allows these companies to spend millions influencing Congress. We must provide immediate assistance to the people who can't afford a lobbyist. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
With our economy and health care system in crisis, now is not the time to repeat the mistakes of 2008. Instead of bailing out industries who’ve spent huge sums on stock buybacks, we need to increase unemployment insurance and send immediate relief to ordinary Americans. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
The COVID-19 epidemic is creating a dire economic situation and it's especially dire for the 140M who live in poverty or have low wealth — including 52% of children. We need action now. My bill with @TimRyan would give up to $12,000 to working and middle class Americans. https://t.co/I2kl9QGSTB — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
With millions of people stuck at home due to the spread of COVID-19, technology must be used for the public good. We must invest in a National Telehealth Center so that people can consult with doctors and nurses virtually before going outside and putting themselves at risk. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
The spread of COVID-19 has created economic anxiety all across America. If people don't have money to spend, the fallout for our consumer economy will get even worse. The bill I introduced with @TimRyan will provide an immediate cash infusion for the working and middle class. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
The cost of treatment for pneumonia in 2018: 💰 Without complications: $9,763 💰 With complications or comorbidity: $13,767 💰 With major complications or comorbidity: $20,292 We must expand Medicaid so that people can get COVID-19 treatment without going into financial ruin. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
The federal minimum wage hasn’t gone up in over a decade and we see the results: Millions of Americans earn less than $15 per hour — including more than half of Black and Latino workers. A federal $15/hour minimum wage will help us close the racial wage gap. #FightFor15 https://t.co/D6CSskaJvA — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
The cash infusion bill I introduced with @TimRyan will give up to $12,000 to all those who earned under $130,000 last year, including if you: 💵 Earned $0 💵 Were unemployed 💵 Are currently unemployed 💵 Work as an independent contractor — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
The counties in the Bay Area were the first to institute a strict shelter in place & much more aggressive compared to NY state & slightly ahead of the curve compared to California. The results speak for themselves. We need a national shelter in place. https://t.co/lSihiiFejq — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
In the face of a historic pandemic, we can’t leave anyone behind. The American people agree that we need immediate action that includes: ✅ Making sure that all tests and treatments are fully covered ✅ Paid family leave ✅ Paid sick leave https://t.co/9ZOaSwUEIa — PolitiTweet.org

Black students take on more debt to get a college education and this racial gap in student debt skyrockets four years after graduation. The fight to provide comprehensive student debt relief is the fight to end the racial inequities that have persisted in America for too long. https://t.co/rFTfs5M7l8 — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
The test and treatment for COVID-19 must be free. But what if someone has the flu or other symptoms and avoids going to a doctor because of potential bills for the visit or other tests and treatments? To keep people safe, the basic health care of every American must be covered. — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
We live in the digital age so even during a pandemic, many people can still work & learn from home with the internet. But what about the 19 million Americans who don’t have access to broadband, including 25% in rural areas? Expanding high-speed internet must be our priority. https://t.co/4qySVuA0mv — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
Doctors and nurses are already being forced to use only one N95 mask per day. This is absolutely unacceptable as COVID-19 spreads. We must use the Defense Production Act to produce as many N95 masks as possible and ventilators so that doctors don’t have to choose who to save. https://t.co/ChX6fae2bk — PolitiTweet.org
Ro Khanna @RoKhanna
My question for those who oppose direct cash payments to working and middle class Americans: Where was your opposition when Congress passed a $1.5 trillion tax break for the elite and corporations? — PolitiTweet.org
