Is Congress listening to the majority of Americans who don’t want to repeat the mistakes of the Iraq War? RT if you agree that Congress should stop funding any offensive military action against Iran. #NoWarWithIran — PolitiTweet.org

This escalation of violence was preventable. My amendment to prohibit funding for strikes on Iran or Iranian officials passed the House with 27 Republican votes. The Pentagon stripped it from the National Defense Authorization. We should have never passed the NDAA without it. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Time is of the essence. We cannot dither. We need to act now. We need Democratic unity to stop the war in Iran. Let’s rally as a party, find common purpose, and get behind a floor vote this week. https://t.co/dQSaRCoiVi — PolitiTweet.org

My point was that Iranian militias were not killing American contractors + attacking US embassies during Iran Deal under Obama. ⁦The Benghazi attack was from Sunni Islamists in Libya—not Iranian backed militias! ⁦@brhodes⁩ https://t.co/uuLSJnLlAW — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Also, my point was that if both chambers of Congress explicitly prohibit an offensive war with Iran, then Trump would be violating the Constitution if he strikes again in defiance of Congress. I hope you would agree that any President should respect the will of Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

.⁦@RepDougCollins⁩ I have never questioned your patriotism. I hope in the future you won’t question mine. 27 Republicans voted for my bipartisan amendment to stop another war in the Middle East. Lets debate the policy without the personal attacks. https://t.co/KtQ0dBVDxH — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

My NDAA amendment that passed the House was supported by a bipartisan coalition. This week, the House must once again come together to reclaim the war powers guaranteed in the Constitution — an important check on a President who is using Twitter to threaten war. #NoWarWithIran https://t.co/B4PnHb7FhZ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We must learn the lessons of our failures in Iraq and avoid getting involved in another war that will kill tens of thousands in the Middle East. Here’s my policy for Iran which centers diplomacy and restraint instead of the interventionism that doesn’t make anyone safer. https://t.co/owBPJ5izM6 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trump’s rhetoric on Iran is scarier than Bush’s on Iraq. Bush secured Senate passage for the 1954 Hague Convention on Cultural Property that Trump’s tweets violate. Gone now is even the pretense of fighting for liberal democracy. With Trump, it’s brute force of might makes right. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

No. The Constitution doesn't allow presidents to declare war over social media. This is why it's so important to pass @BernieSanders' and my bill to block all federal funding for war with Iran until Congress votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Adding work requirements to Medicaid and SNAP won’t help working class Americans find good-paying jobs. My Job Opportunities for All Act will cut poverty and make sure that every American is able to build a better life — especially in the communities left behind. https://t.co/t07hKf1XD0 — PolitiTweet.org

1/ Here's what our Iran policy should be: ✅ End Trump's failed maximum pressure campaign that's led to Iran's militias attacking our troops and embassy. ✅ Recommit to the JCPOA as a treaty to bind future administrations ✅ Call for ceasefire and deescalation in violence — PolitiTweet.org

Are you tired of filling out paperwork to see if you are eligible for affordable health coverage? Are you sick of fighting with a bureaucrat to get your insurance company to cover your procedures? If the answer is YES then you should be fighting for Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Does anyone really think that small businesses like paying huge premiums to provide insurance for their employees? Entrepreneurs support Medicare for All because its cost-effective and will save them money. https://t.co/6ZdhAgt2dG — PolitiTweet.org

If we had included an article of impeachment detailing Trump’s defiance of bipartisan majorities in both chambers of Congress for his unconstitutional war in Yemen, it would have made it harder for the Pentagon to launch an unconstitutional war on Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Why does it seem that we have endless money for war but then programs like College for All and Medicare for All are considered unrealistic? Instead of paying for military interventions around the world, let’s invest in improving the lives of millions of Americans at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The biggest challenge for many small businesses is providing health coverage to their employees. Medicare for All would lower the cost of entrepreneurship and small business owners will be able to expand and focus on raising wages instead of paying insurance companies. https://t.co/sq8QvYJHNP — PolitiTweet.org
