🎖️️ Military budget increases since Obama left office: $120 Billion 🖥️ Extending high-speed broadband to every community: $80 Billion Internet access is more important than ever before. Let’s create good-paying jobs by expanding high-speed broadband to every corner of America. — PolitiTweet.org

While other countries offer COVID-19 treatments for free, Americans who have employer-based health insurance could still pay over $1,400 out-of-pocket for treatment. We must immediately expand Medicaid so that people don’t avoid treatment or go into debt due to the cost. https://t.co/N1ct8IIQvJ — PolitiTweet.org

Workers without paid sick leave: ❌ McDonald’s: 517,000 ❌ Walmart: 347,000 ❌ Subway: 180,000 ❌ Pizza Hut: 156,000 ❌ Target: 151,000 ❌ Wendy's: 133,000 Now is not the time to wait for these companies to change their policies. Congress must guarantee paid sick leave for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Any proposal related to the COVID-19 pandemic must take into account the hourly employees, independent contractors & gig workers who don’t have benefits. My new bill with @TimRyan will immediately give checks to ordinary Americans to help get through this crisis. https://t.co/2D7mpsdJbv — PolitiTweet.org

@jayhamilton8321 @katieporteroc @AyannaPressley Actually I don’t. But I’d love to see @PramilaJayapal @katieporteroc @AyannaPressley @KarenBassTweets in leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

How can we insist that members should fly in to DC that is sheltering in place to push a button to vote? Congress can work remotely in emergencies. @katieporteroc & @AyannaPressley should have the right to vote. Get into the 21st century, or let the next generation lead. — PolitiTweet.org

The COVID-19 pandemic transcends borders & the spread of the virus in Iran puts our entire world at risk. This is not about politics. It’s about protecting human lives. We must make sure that the sanctions against Iran don’t impede medical aid or other humanitarian assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Millions of Americans aren’t guaranteed paid sick leave, and most of them earn low wages and live paycheck-to-paycheck. We need immediate action on universal paid sick leave so that nobody has to go to work when they aren’t feeling well. https://t.co/GpcDEZtssN — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Have you ever decided to not see a doctor when you were feeling sick because you lacked good health insurance and were worried about the cost? To stop the spread of COVID-19, we must expand Medicaid so that every American can get the care they need without going into debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Study after study shows that Medicare for All is cost-effective and now 20 leading economists have signed a letter agreeing that it will save huge amounts of money. How much proof do the pundits need before they stop saying we can’t pay for it? https://t.co/SdgjM9RI1h — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Instead of giving a blanket bailout to an industry that spent 96% of their free cash flow over the past decade on stock buybacks, we should use that $ to extend unemployment insurance, retain workers salaries & give a cash infusion to ordinary Americans. https://t.co/IuEmW62r6m — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

There are many Americans who worked at bars and restaurants and are now without a job. The rent and utility bills aren’t being quarantined & groceries still need to be bought. We must provide a cash infusion to help people afford basic needs. https://t.co/bILL1hfzbO — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The American people are in need of immediate assistance. Congress must move quickly to pass the bill I introduced with @TimRyan to give up to $12,000 to working and middle class Americans. https://t.co/CBz7wgVsdB — PolitiTweet.org

Btw a small percentage of equity would just diminish slightly existing shareholder value which was inflated because many of these companies engaged in numerous stock buybacks! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Even in a global pandemic with people suddenly having hours cut or losing their jobs, Trump’s Department of Agriculture is trying to move forward with adding work requirements to SNAP. Instead we must expand food assistance so that nobody goes hungry. https://t.co/dFSXnL9vk0 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If the gov’t will bail out large industries, we should insist, says @vkhosla, on commercial terms. Would any bank or private equity firm provide free money? Absolutely not. We should get an equity % in these companies for our loans/grants that is used to help working families. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

This crisis has revealed that people who work in grocery stores, fast food chains, and restaurants are frontline workers. Many earn less than a living wage and still have to go to work even if they are sick during a pandemic. Everyone should be guaranteed paid sick leave. https://t.co/79O7GIQlLV — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Our inaction on preparing for the COVID-19 pandemic despite overwhelming evidence and warnings from scientists should wake people up to our inaction on confronting the climate crisis. Here's the lesson: Listen to the scientists. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Countries that have instituted a shelter-in-place to stop the spread of COVID-19: ✅ France ✅ Spain ✅ India ✅ Italy ✅ UK With over 50,000 confirmed cases and many Americans still unable to even get tested, we need to add the United States to this list. — PolitiTweet.org
