Debtors prisons were outlawed in the United States centuries ago and the Bearden v. Georgia Supreme Court case in 1983 reaffirmed that people couldn’t be sent to jail for being unable to afford fines. Nobody in America should be sitting behind bars simply because they are poor. — PolitiTweet.org

The warhawks trying to push us into another Middle East war are going against the will of the people. That’s why they are trying so hard to bypass Congress. But our movement continues to gain traction. Together we will stop getting involved in endless, unpopular wars. https://t.co/q4YNGuWvgJ — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s get the facts straight: When people come to America seeking asylum, they are not “coming here illegally.” https://t.co/LGFJsrwaKK — PolitiTweet.org

Cutting Title X funding from family planning clinics that recommend patients for abortions could leave 4 million women without access to birth control, cancer screenings and other services. The American people are not in support. #NoGagRule https://t.co/fnJv86o8Ft — PolitiTweet.org

The post office has been a path to the middle class for African American families like @mrdannyglover’s for decades. Instead of cuts and privatization, we need to strengthen the post office and provide services to the underbanked with postal banking. https://t.co/e0XzeST2sJ — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, I asked you how the rising cost of prescription drugs has negatively impacted your lives. These are only a few of the stories that illustrate the pain and stress that Americans face from rising prices. Big Pharma price gouging must not continue. https://t.co/BQ12GnLU5Z — PolitiTweet.org

@Jehane94 I hope people will see my sincere desire to stand up for restraint and human rights and build coalitions to get there. We may disagree on this issue, but I am confident my entire record will speak to my values. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@Jehane94 Thnx for engaging. I have opposed bills that criminalize or penalize boycotts. I also sponsored the McCollum bill standing up for human rights of Palestinian children and passed the Yemen WPR and anti Iran war Amendment. I believe there are better ways to attain peace than BDS. — PolitiTweet.org

The minimum wage hasn’t risen in over a decade and in that time it’s lost over $3,000 in purchasing power. Now that the House has passed the #RaiseTheWage Act, the Senate must act to give hardworking Americans a much needed raise. https://t.co/MakN45sNSc — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s new restrictions on Title X funds will ➡️ Prevent providers from telling patients about their options for reproductive care ➡️ Make it harder for millions of low-income women to get the care they need We must stop this attack on women’s health. https://t.co/5Vu3tqgL9W — PolitiTweet.org

From 2006 to 2012, 75 billion opioid pills were distributed in the U.S and there were 282 million opioid prescriptions — enough to supply every adult with a month’s worth of pills. Big Pharma must be held accountable for the deadly opioid epidemic. https://t.co/nAaCNMy7kr — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon is a trillion dollar company but their warehouse employees work long hours under intense stress. They must do better so workers feel a stake in the digital economy. https://t.co/jsCxQEYRqM — PolitiTweet.org

Since Seattle introduced their Democracy Dollars program, the number of donors has more than TRIPLED. My plan would expand this nationwide, loosening the stranglehold that corporate money holds over our elections and redirecting fundraising efforts toward grassroots donors. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@Chaospress32 @hardball Yes, not how I would have phrased. I meant that the President wouldn’t be able to use that as a distraction and we will be unified around pocketbook issues and delivering for people in every corner of the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Big Pharma claims that they charge Americans more than other industrialized nations for prescription drugs because of their R&D spending. Every single one of the 210 new drugs approved between 2010 and 2016 was developed with federally funded research. https://t.co/22Qi7ucUQP — PolitiTweet.org

@fightfor15 Never doubt the power of workers coming together to fight for dignity and respect. The #FightFor15 is just beginning. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The @FightFor15 began in 2012 with hundreds of workers going on strike in NYC. Over the next few years, thousands joined them in cities throughout America. Six states and DC have already passed a $15 minimum wage and today we passed it in the House. https://t.co/leiswRzdOj — PolitiTweet.org

This is exactly why the Senate must pass my amendment to block the Trump administration from starting a war with Iran without the 535 members of Congress voting on the decision. We must prevent the escalation toward another endless war. https://t.co/wm2XWgmu2p — PolitiTweet.org

Seattle's Democracy Dollars program was just upheld by the Washington Supreme Court. Here's a reminder that if my nationwide Democracy Dollars program was in place in 2016, voters would have contributed more in small-dollar donations than all special interests combined. https://t.co/7VSYoC203X — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Our inequality is the result of decades of policies that have helped elites and special interests instead of ordinary Americans. We need to reject the trickle down myth and give the working and middle class a raise. https://t.co/ZziBCQj20i — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

People in disadvantaged communities shouldn’t have to live near dirty factories or power plants. They shouldn’t have to breathe polluted air or drink dirty water. They shouldn’t be the most at-risk from climate change. I will keep fighting for environmental justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The Trump administration is trying to strip healthcare from millions of Americans and return us to the days of pre-existing conditions. We can’t let them rollback all the progress we’ve made: Protect the ACA and fight for Medicare for All. https://t.co/4cyZswuDyk — PolitiTweet.org

Months after 64 percent of Floridians voted to restore voting rights to 1.4 million people, the governor is preventing those who owe money from regaining that right. Once someone leaves prison, they should automatically have their voting rights restored. https://t.co/uZum6m8MS2 — PolitiTweet.org

The UN warns that there is one climate disaster every week. It’s important to understand that climate change isn’t only about the future. It’s about right now. We must invest heavily in renewables, cleantech, infrastructure and energy efficiency. https://t.co/q5P9ikOYmj — PolitiTweet.org

After almost 18 years, it’s clear that the war needs to end. Trillions have been spent and countless lives have been lost. The only viable option is withdrawal combined with regional diplomacy to safeguard human rights. — PolitiTweet.org
