.@PeteButtigieg is running an ad literally claiming that @BernieSanders & @ewarren are “infringing on people’s freedom” by proposing Medicare for All. Simple question for Mayor Pete: Do you think requiring all seniors over 65 to be on Medicare is infringing on their freedom? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

When @JoeBiden said Medicare for All costs $30 trillion, he didn’t point out the current system costs $49 trillion! Moynihan knew we could afford it. It will save insurance & Big Pharma costs & be financed by small premiums on the affluent & taxes on corporations & the wealthy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@BernieSanders’ foreign policy record speaks for itself: ✅ Opposed the Iraq War ✅ Voted against all of Trump’s military budget increases ✅ Led on passing my bipartisan War Powers Resolution to end the war in Yemen #DemocraticDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I was proud to work with @BernieSanders on winning a $15/hour minimum wage for over 350,000 Amazon workers. Our victory inspired many other companies with warehouses to raise wages to compete. With his leadership, we will finally win the #FightFor15 for all workers. #DemDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@BernieSanders has been the most concise in how he will help working Americans. He’s letting his humor show and the side that his friends know. He has a clarity of thought without repetition and a sense of compassion & humanity. His most charming and endearing debate. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Bernie’s biggest donors are teachers and workers from WalMart and Amazon, the average donation is $18, and almost none of the donors have hit the max contribution. The working class that has been betrayed by Trump are clear in their support for @BernieSanders. #DemocraticDebate — PolitiTweet.org

All of those who say that we can't afford to invest in fighting climate change better be prepared to spend billions to rebuild communities after hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires, and ecological devastation. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Great to see a strong progressive voice @alexandrasiera on CNN today. @TheLeadCNN @jaketapper thanks for having her on. We need bold, next generation voices like hers on cable. — PolitiTweet.org

There are 68 million Americans with limited or no access to banking services and payday lenders take advantage — charging annual interest rates as high as 400 percent. Postal banking would give people access to basic banking services without being trapped in a cycle of debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Harvey Milk became one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S. when he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1978. He was a trailblazer who fought tirelessly for LGBTQ+ equality and was taken from us way too soon. #LGBTQHistoryMonth https://t.co/pBvbbTOIYQ — PolitiTweet.org

Every American is presumed innocent until proven guilty so why are over 75 percent of those held in local jails behind bars simply because they can't afford bail? I support ending cash bail because your freedom should not be based on the amount of money in your bank account. — PolitiTweet.org

The American people deserve a foreign policy debate. https://t.co/ptGI09D8F0 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

When Republicans talk about “entitlements”, they are referring to programs that kept millions of working class Americans out of poverty in 2018. Instead of cutting public assistance, we should expand the EITC and invest in good-paying jobs so nobody has to live in poverty. https://t.co/8bVdi14ETy — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Public trust in Congress is at historic lows in America. We need campaign finance reform to rebuild that trust: ✅ Democracy Dollars ✅ Overturn Citizens United ✅ Get PACs & SuperPACs out of our elections ✅ Close the revolving door between lobbyists and members of Congress https://t.co/BBxzu89NO7 — PolitiTweet.org

The United States has 💰 More billionaires than any other country 💰 24% of global GDP It’s not unreasonable to believe that nobody in America should be going bankrupt from medical bills or working decades to pay off student loans. — PolitiTweet.org

Annual cost of: 🏥 Medicare: $705 billion 🎖️ Military budget: $716 billion 🗑️ Waste in our healthcare system: $760 billion A more cost-effective system is possible. That’s why I fight every single day for Medicare for All. https://t.co/z01gwU85au — PolitiTweet.org

Any patient who has spent time in a hospital will tell you that private insurance companies have been raising deductibles, pushing back on needed procedures, & requiring patients to be transferred to observation as opposed to active care. This is why we need Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.⁦@Benioff⁩ has been a leader in bringing tech opportunities to rural America & the heartland, in pushing for equal pay, and for equity in public school funding. More business leaders should follow his model. https://t.co/EwRq2wbWBC — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

California understands that to boost participation and energize voters, we need laws like same-day registration on Election Day. Increasing America's shamefully low voter turnout should be a nationwide priority. https://t.co/NOVeBiO9pF — PolitiTweet.org

Ending DACA would ➡️ Cut $460B from the national GDP over the next decade ➡️ Reduce tax revenue by $90B ➡️ Cost businesses $6.3M The DREAM and Promise Act is a moral and economic imperative to end the uncertainty and provide a path to citizenship for thousands of immigrants. — PolitiTweet.org

Audre Lorde was a poet, writer, and civil rights activist whose writings about social injustice and identity inspired many queer black women and gave them a voice. Her work was an inspiration to the civil rights and LGBTQ+ rights movement. #LGBTQHistoryMonth https://t.co/upmp8ZjTlf — PolitiTweet.org

If the Supreme Court decides that federal workplace protections don’t apply to LGBTQ+ and trans Americans, there are 26 states where it will be legal for someone to be fired for their sexual orientation or gender identity. Together we are going to make that illegal. https://t.co/drkg8328NI — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what our foreign policy of diplomacy means: ✅ Ending global poverty, not getting involved in military conflicts ✅ Leading the world in climate action, not arms sales ✅ Working with other nations to stop terrorism, not unilaterally starting endless wars — PolitiTweet.org
