Back in 2017, Paul Ryan claimed that the average family would receive $4,000 from the tax cut. Two years later and only 14 percent of Americans believe that their taxes even went down. We should undo these cuts and expand the EITC to give a raise to the middle & working class. — PolitiTweet.org

Do those who claim that Medicare for All will “bankrupt” our country think that it’s acceptable that two-thirds of personal bankruptcies in the United States are due to medical costs? — PolitiTweet.org

Have you ever received a surprise bill because you accidentally used a specialist or hospital who was “out-of-network?” You aren’t alone. With Medicare for All, surprise billing will be a thing of the past as no hospital, doctor, or specialist will ever be out-of-network. https://t.co/tQvyQQGNfE — PolitiTweet.org

This is the decline of the middle class in one chart. To restore the American dream, we must invest in 🏥 Medicare for All 🏫 College for All 🧸 Universal childcare 🏠 Affordable housing https://t.co/DhWebmtsnH — PolitiTweet.org

The thing marijuana has been a gateway to is the criminal justice system for people of color. To undo the damage of decades of failed drug policies, we must legalize marijuana, expunge prior offenses, and reinvest in the communities that have been harmed the most. — PolitiTweet.org

.@BernieSanders raised more than $34.5 million in Q4 — with $18M in December alone. The average donation is $18.53 and the biggest employers of donors include Amazon, Starbucks, and Walmart. I am proud to be a co-chair from day one. Our movement will defeat Trump in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

The health of our economy can’t be measured simply by the unemployment rate when wages haven’t kept up with costs. Our historic inequality will get worse unless we push for economic growth that includes prosperity for the working class and the communities left behind. https://t.co/iFNBNL4PQ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Republicans always talk about the "dignity of work" to defend stripping support from people who are struggling to make ends meet. How about creating good-paying jobs in the areas that need them and expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit to make up for decades of stagnant wages? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Truman called for Medicare for All in 1945 but the AMA attacked the plan as “socialized medicine” and promoted private insurance. History reminds us that our expensive health care system is the result of special interests having too much influence. https://t.co/UGU6xFeLJK — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

These stories highlight the horrific impact that medical debt has on people’s lives. This is why we fight for Medicare for All — a system where nobody will be weighed down by debt simply because they need to go to the hospital or see a doctor. https://t.co/TVW6vNrFWm — PolitiTweet.org

Whenever Republicans claim to be the party of fiscal responsibility, remind them that 91 corporations did not pay federal income taxes last year because of their tax law. https://t.co/GczKgvXy1O — PolitiTweet.org

Grateful to you @JoeTrippi for helping get new voices launched, for leading the digital organizing mantra in 2003, and for pushing for a thoughtful progressive agenda to the technology revolution and globalization. Don’t rest on your laurels! — PolitiTweet.org

Corporations aren’t people. Money isn’t speech. Special interests have too much influence in our political system. In 2020, we must get PACs and lobbyists out of our elections and overturn Citizens United. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@Agrippa28803504 @BerniesBack2020 @AndrewYang I have been one of the fiercest supporters of M4A. We will need a broad coalition to bring these changes in Congress and the Senate. We should not compromise on our convictions, but build alliances to be effective. That’s what FDR did! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Thank you @AndrewYang for your incredible contribution to the national dialogue on the technology revolution. I agree the DNC should poll more to give candidates like yourself a fair chance to be on the final debate stage before Iowa. Happy New Year. — PolitiTweet.org

@bentsmithfour @m2jr @CNBC Happy to chat over coffee and continue the dialogue. Happy new year. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy New Year! Here are some of my New Year’s resolutions for 2020. https://t.co/bM7PmfvfZ3 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@bentsmithfour @m2jr @CNBC You don’t destroy innovation by giving workers more of a stake. You prevent the tearing apart of our nation. FDR understood this. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@bentsmithfour @m2jr @CNBC I studied under Lucas & Becker and taught economics at Stanford. I wrote a book on the entrepreneurial economy! I am offering an economic vision of expanding access to the benefit of the tech economy. Krugman, Stiglitz, Reich, even Summers have talked about this! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@bentsmithfour @m2jr @CNBC Yes Ben, and most of those drivers want better wages and better benefits. I talk to them all the time. Uber can still create thousands of jobs if they treat drivers like employees. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@m2jr @CNBC Regardless, Mike, I have a lot of respect for your work on early start ups and loved your idea on venture lending. I enjoy our conversations even when we disagree! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@m2jr @CNBC And we need to find a way to have the working class thrive with the forces of the technology revolution and globalization. We face similar challenges as the 1890s when there was a concentration of wealth with the industrial revolution. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@m2jr @CNBC I have been a consistent voice for innovation & entrepreneurship and consider myself a progressive capitalist. But my mantra has been that we need to get technology opportunity into places left behind, both rural and minority communities. — PolitiTweet.org
