Trump tried to claim that the economy was booming at the #SOTU but he should look at the math. When the bottom half of Americans still own only 1.6 percent of the nation’s wealth, a 47 percent increase can hardly be called a boom. https://t.co/nr6Yl9Ohr9 — PolitiTweet.org

.@MazzucatoM shared that the top 19 Pharma companies in the S&P 500 index spent $300 billion —nearly 61% of R&D — on stock buybacks. Next time you hear Big Pharma say they need higher prices because they are investing in innovation, be very skeptical. — PolitiTweet.org

.@MazzucatoM The top 500 companies, which have benefitted from public investments, spent $4 trillion over the last decade on stock buybacks that could have gone instead to inventing the technologies of the future and investing in our workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

This whole campaign is about engaging communities that have been historically disregarded or actively shut out. It would be so poetic if these satellite caucuses, representing a multicultural working class coalition, put us over the top! — PolitiTweet.org

At last night’s #SOTU, Trump neglected to mention that 44 percent of workers are in low wage jobs earning a median income of only $18,000/year. That's not a booming economy. The House passed the $15/hr minimum wage in 2019 and McConnell didn't even bring it up for a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trump had time to talk about expanding the military budget at last night’s #SOTU but didn’t even mention the biggest threat to our national security: climate change. Let’s stop investing in endless wars and start investing in solar, wind and high-speed rail across America. — PolitiTweet.org

If Republicans truly believed that Trump didn’t abuse his executive power and obstruct Congress, then they should have had no problem calling witnesses. Instead they put party over country and for the first time ever, there were ZERO witnesses in an impeachment trial. — PolitiTweet.org

@Trisha_Tahmasbi @bigkittenqueen Bernie Sanders did very well. He won the popular vote. Other candidates want to cast aspersions on his showing for their own interests. We shouldn’t let them undermine Bernie’s strong showing. — PolitiTweet.org

No, I did not stand for @jguaido. I have spoken against American intervention and urged us to support Pope Francis’ efforts for mediation in restoring peace, human rights, humanitarian aid, and fair elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

As Trump talks about the health of the economy at tonight’s #SOTU, remember that millions of Americans know someone who died because they couldn't afford their medication or treatment. Trump's solution is stripping health care from millions instead of expanding coverage to all. — PolitiTweet.org

At tonight’s #SOTU, will Trump talk about taking action on infrastructure, lowering drug prices, climate change, gun violence, campaign finance reform, or any of the dozens of bills that passed the House in 2019 but weren’t even voted on in the Senate? — PolitiTweet.org

The last thing we need is for @JoeBiden to file an injunction to stop the public from getting results. Last night was historic. Iowa supported two women candidates & a Jewish & gay candidate. Let the results come out & let’s appreciate what so many volunteers in Iowa are doing. — PolitiTweet.org

We do need a better certification process for the use of Apps, and need more tech expertise for our elections, but this is a broader problem that faces many states. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

In fairness to Iowa, in my home state of California, home to Silicon Valley, it can take weeks to get the final results of an election to make sure all votes are counted. What is most important right now is the not the news cycle, but to get it right. — PolitiTweet.org
