Let’s get the facts straight: Medicare for All isn’t about taking away anyone’s health care. It’s about expanding the vision of Medicare and the ACA to guarantee health care to every American from birth for a lower cost than our current system. — PolitiTweet.org

When private equity firms buy struggling stores, they claim it’s to help them succeed. Often it means that these firms take the company’s assets, load them with debt, then sell the scraps for profits as thousands of workers lose their jobs. We must stop Wall Street looting. https://t.co/Y4m7VSEg6f — PolitiTweet.org

College students should be focused on 📚 Studying for tests 📚 Finishing homework 📚 Preparing for their careers Instead of 🏠 Where they will sleep at night 🍴 Where their next meal is coming from 📝 How they will keep up their grades while hungry and homeless https://t.co/n21NlL6XQQ — PolitiTweet.org

If California implemented universal health care, they would still be held back because they need a federal waiver. Let's remove the barriers. States should be able to use their Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA funding to create state-level universal health care systems. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you for your leadership and forward looking vision @RyanArnoldRocks. I’d love to visit with @JDScholten, learn from your insights, and work on initiatives to extend tech to rural. — PolitiTweet.org

New York City has just become the largest city in the country to pass ranked choice voting. Expanding this system nationwide would give voters more choices and diversity in candidates, while making sure that those elected are supported by a true majority of voters. https://t.co/myfRoNVA8l — PolitiTweet.org

These are just a few of the stories of DREAMers who were brought here at a young age, went to school and built a life for themselves and are now at risk of being deported from the only country they’ve ever called home. We must keep our promise to them. https://t.co/M1j6mBUaVC — PolitiTweet.org

Canada’s journey toward universal health care began with Saskatchewan in 1947. Two decades later, the whole country was covered. States should be able to bundle all their health care spending to build a universal health care system that will eventually expand across America. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I support all those fighting for dignity at the Supreme Court today as well as all the DACA recipients across this country who are watching with uncertainty. We must reject Trump's xenophobia, restore DACA and give young immigrants and their parents a path to citizenship. — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate the way you have campaigned @JulianCastro in recognizing the diversity within early states. One reason @BernieSanders will win Iowa is his strong support in the growing Latino community. These states are far more diverse than many assume. — PolitiTweet.org

The only right Medicare for All takes away is the right of insurance companies to fleece working & middle class families with high premiums. What Medicare for All secures is the right to quality healthcare for all Americans regardless of income. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

What is “elitist” is pretending we know more than nearly 70% of Democrats who want Medicare for All b/c it’s in their interests. What is “elitist” is telling them that if they want healthcare their only choice is to pay high premiums, copays, & deductibles https://t.co/V0bFsEBODI — PolitiTweet.org

Newspapers, nursing homes, retail, and grocery stores have been forced into bankruptcy by some private equity firms who buy companies through leveraged buyouts and then sell the scraps. The #StopWallStreetLooting Act will protect workers’ jobs, paychecks & severance. — PolitiTweet.org

PG&E's transmission lines were responsible for two of the deadliest wildfires in California's history but instead of investing in infrastructure, the company spent millions lobbying elected officials. This is why we need public ownership of utilities. https://t.co/CKdQXYMHd1 — PolitiTweet.org

In the end, he believes most of the wealthy won’t like a wealth tax, but will get used to it. He has the humility to realize that a lot of his fortune compared to his siblings was a product not just of hard work, risk & ingenuity, but also good fortune! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Met a SV constituent who confronts friends abt the wealth tax. When billionaires threaten to take their money elsewhere, he asks them where they would take it. The US has the best investment opportunities. Plus, art & hard to measure assets are less than 10% of their fortunes! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Instead of extending this pipeline and increasing the likelihood of more spills, we need to make investments in smart grids, renewables, energy efficiency and storage. Big oil profits are not worth sacrificing the health of our planet. https://t.co/3ZETX94aiW — PolitiTweet.org

It’s an absolute shame that over 40,000 veterans are homeless on any given night and 17 veterans commit suicide every day. Our priority must be to provide support to all those who have bravely served our country. #VeteransDay — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

We can’t talk about supporting the troops when they go off to fight in military conflicts then fail to support them when they return home. This #VeteransDay we must commit to investing in our veterans with: 🏠 Housing 🏥 Health care 💼 Job training 🧠 Mental health treatment — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Today we honor all of our brave veterans, including those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We salute you. #VeteransDay — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Nobody in America should have to sleep on the streets and homeless shelters are only a temporary solution. The long-term solution is housing that is truly affordable for the working class and investing in jobs, healthcare and education so people feel stable in their communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Does anyone truly believe that it’s okay for a U.S. president to threaten withholding aid from a foreign leader unless they investigate a political opponent? If the answer is NO then you should support the impeachment inquiry. — PolitiTweet.org

.@LHSummers Carter ran on mandatory, single payer in 76. The market went up 27% in his term. Republicans prophesied doom for the market w/ Carter, Clinton, Obama. But the market only fell over 30% with GWB. Also Dem investments in human capital will unleash growth. @paulkrugman — PolitiTweet.org

One solution to California’s power crisis is to invest in intelligent community grids with low voltage transmission and storage capability. This would lessen the need for high voltage transmission lines across the state that are at higher risk of fires and lead to blackouts. — PolitiTweet.org

Our government created satellites, the internet, GPS, nuclear power, highways, national parks, medical breakthroughs, the strongest legal regime & currency, stability for world commerce & democracy. Don’t tell me it can’t provide health insurance like dozens of other countries do — PolitiTweet.org
