A new study finds that rising sea levels will affect three times as many people as scientists previously thought. For each day we fail to take action on climate change, we move closer to a worldwide crisis impacting millions of people. https://t.co/qFaHHrCRF9 — PolitiTweet.org

Between 2013 to 2018, New York’s minimum wage raised from $7.25 to $13.50. Did it hurt the economy like conservatives claim? Here's the reality: Restaurant revenue is rising and job growth is stronger than in 12 cities that have had no wage increase. https://t.co/mtxD7aYTXd — PolitiTweet.org

For too long, antitrust laws have only considered consumer pricing when approving corporate mergers. Together we must build a new antitrust consensus that considers the impact of mergers on 💼 Jobs 👪 Communities 🛍️ Local businesses 💵 Workers’ Wages — PolitiTweet.org

Bob Ehlers reacting in a NH restaurant to news that Bloomberg is entering the race: “we don’t need another billionaire.” He pretty much sums it up. Campaigning for Bernie in Manchester in a packed house with many new citizens. https://t.co/s3kvqQCJ0s — PolitiTweet.org

We need to make daylight savings time permanent & stop switching clocks twice a year. This is actually one of the few bipartisan issues that can become law. Every House member should support HR 1556, and every Senator should support @marcorubio bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Clinton had eliminated the federal deficit before Bush started wars in the Middle East and passed tax cuts for the wealthy. After the disastrous GOP tax plan and Trump’s military budget increases, it's no surprise that the federal deficit is at its highest point in 7 years. — PolitiTweet.org

This is why we must solve the student debt crisis: 🎓 Student loan default rate: 10.8% 🎓 Average student loan debt per borrower: $35,359 🎓 Almost half of student loans are in deferment or forbearance 🎓 2 in 10 adults with student loans are behind on their payments — PolitiTweet.org

It’s almost as if passing huge tax cuts for corporations and the elite while increasing military spending isn’t fiscally responsible. Imagine that. 🤔 https://t.co/imBJFzhBr8 — PolitiTweet.org

@HumanistReport @InstituteGC Appreciate your activism and vision @HumanistReport. I ran the nation’s first anti Iraq war campaign. https://t.co/dxvqZ0LjLL The panel was about extending tech jobs & opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Between 1989 and 2016: ➡️ Average annual growth in wages: 0.3% ⬆️ Average annual growth in cost to attend a four-year college: 2.6% College for All is about making sure that the next generation doesn’t have to go into debt as the cost of college tuition outpaces wages. — PolitiTweet.org

2019 Lobbying: 💊 Big Pharma: $228M 📋 Insurance Companies: $117M 🏥 Hospitals/Nursing homes: $78.5M Medicare for All and lowering prescription drug prices are popular with ordinary Americans. But they are unpopular with the lobbyists who influence our elections. — PolitiTweet.org

When power companies are allowed to be private monopolies, their focus is on profits for investors and executive bonuses. Publicly-owned utilities will lead to lower costs, more renewable energy, and higher safety standards by taking the profit motive out of power generation. — PolitiTweet.org

@Twitlertwit @InstituteGC I ran against the war in Iraq in 2003 in the nation’s first anti Iraq war primary. Hope you would watch the panel and assess the ideas. If you disagree with my specific proposals, I’d welcome your critique. — PolitiTweet.org

@brianjtrautman I ran the nation’s first anti Iraq war primary in 2003. This was a panel on issues of technology and creating new jobs and opportunity in a digital age. — PolitiTweet.org

Many of the same oil and gas companies that misled the public on climate change to rake in more profits have already spent $92 million lobbying Congress in 2019. Our fight to guarantee a healthy planet for future generations must include bold campaign finance reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@iantDC @InstituteGC I have strongly opposed the war in Iraq and ran the nation’s first anti-war campaign. But that does not negate contributions on issues on spreading technology and opportunity that the @InstituteGC is making. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@OBeirnekids @InstituteGC I was opposed to the war in Iraq in 2003 and ran the nation’s first anti-war campaign. This panel was about how we bring technology to communities left out. Please watch the discussion and suggestions. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Honored to share the stage with PM Tony Blair. He offered a vision for governments to do more to extend the benefits of the technology revolution to those left out & to have well crafted tech regulation that protects deliberative democracy, privacy, and competition. @InstituteGC — PolitiTweet.org

It shouldn’t cost a family more to send their children to day care than it does to send them to college. It’s well past time for affordable, universal childcare in the United States. https://t.co/NZXw8CHeV2 — PolitiTweet.org

If we can spend $6T on endless war, we can pay for Medicare for All. If we can spend billions in subsidies for oil companies, we can pay for bold climate action. If we can pass a tax cut which gave billions to wealthy elites, we can expand the Earned Income Tax Credit. — PolitiTweet.org
