My question for those who are upset that we are fighting for free public college when they had to pay tuition: would you also be upset about new child labor laws if you had to work in the factory when you were young? — PolitiTweet.org

Colorado has just taken a huge step toward ending felony disenfranchisement. Nobody who served their time in prison should be banned from voting in the United States. https://t.co/P3PJohpf6A — PolitiTweet.org

I was one of only 25 MOCs to vote against FOSTA-SESTA. The bill made it illegal for sex workers even to share information about safety online. It has led to an increase of sex trafficking & has forced many sex workers on to the streets. 2020 candidates should be for its repeal. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Have you ever suddenly lost your health insurance due to a job loss or other major life change? You aren’t alone: one-in-four Americans have been uninsured at some point during the last year. To end this injustice we need to fight for the gold-standard: Medicare for All. https://t.co/mNajP4ZlSK — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations @USWNT! You inspire all of us with your hard work and spirit. Thanks for reminding us about the best of America. — PolitiTweet.org

Owning a home has been a staple of the middle class and the American dream for decades, but many millennials are locked out of that dream today. The reason: $1.6 trillion in student loan debt. https://t.co/xjeNb7KxPh — PolitiTweet.org

When the defense contractors who profit from endless war spend so much lobbying Congress, it’s clear that the fight for campaign finance reform is linked to the fight for restraint and diplomacy in our foreign policy. https://t.co/iJtZGOb2Rm — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Do not dismiss @AOC for casting lonely votes. Would anyone trivialize @RepBarbaraLee for voting against the 2002 AUMF? I voted yes for the House bill & no on the Senate. But I am glad the body has voices of moral dissent. History proves that dissent provokes reflection & change. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve committed blunder after blunder in the Middle East, and now Trump’s advisors want to push us into an unpopular war with Iran. Let’s be clear: 60 percent of Americans oppose a pre-emptive strike on Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Our next president shouldn’t be elected by lobbyists or party insiders. They should be elected by the voters. We should completely end the use of superdelegates in our party’s nominating process. https://t.co/GYOpOxhtQP — PolitiTweet.org

Over 7,500 children have been killed or wounded in Yemen since 2013 & 400k are expected to go hungry this year. Our bipartisan resolution demanded an end to U.S. involvement. How much longer will Trump allow the Saudis to fuel this humanitarian crisis? https://t.co/RZxuaWSoPi — PolitiTweet.org

The long list of industrialized nations that don’t guarantee paid family leave to new parents: The United States — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The United States isn’t only an outlier on our high cost of prescription drug pricing. We're also one of two industrialized nations to let pharmaceutical companies advertise. We must return to a system that is focused on the wellbeing of patients over Big Pharma profits. https://t.co/K4fPPY06VW — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It’s important that we keep hammering on this point to counter the media narrative. Medicare for All won’t mean less choice. It will mean that you will no longer have to change doctors if you lose your job or your employer changes your insurance. https://t.co/jIg3uijFbs — PolitiTweet.org

With more than one million Americans defaulting on their student loans every year, this is the future we must fight for. https://t.co/0NIz2vZxFK — PolitiTweet.org

When California voters chose an independent and nonpartisan redistricting commission in 2010, the district maps became fairer, more symmetrical and less partisan. Independent redistricting commissions are how we end gerrymandering in the United States. https://t.co/yQOtEy39IS — PolitiTweet.org

VP Biden defended “employer-based insurance” because “a lot of unions broke their neck to get it.” But isn’t that precisely the problem! American workers should not have to break their necks to get healthcare. With M4A, unions can to focus on more pay, not basic healthcare. — PolitiTweet.org

🏭 Monthly Cost for Gilead Sciences to make Truvada: $6/month 💊 Cost for a 30 day supply: Over $1,600/month This is why @BernieSanders and I introduced a bill to end Big Pharma’s patent abuse. We must #BreakThePatent to end the HIV epidemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

My parents, like so many immigrants, have a profound gratitude for America. They instilled in my brother and me a civic responsibility to give back to the nation that has given so much to our family and that has made many dreams possible. https://t.co/RV87MZbpKJ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It’s only July and thousands of prescription drugs have already hiked their prices by an average of over FIVE TIMES the rate of inflation. If Big Pharma continues their price gouging, HHS should authorize generic competition. https://t.co/5njvLVLRHy — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

No student should have to go into debt to get an education in America but the cost of tuition at public universities has soared 183 percent since 1987. We are fighting to add the United States to this list with #CollegeForAll. https://t.co/gqLMRQsY6t — PolitiTweet.org

After spending trillions on endless wars in the Middle East over the past few decades, I don’t want to hear one person tell me that we can’t afford to invest in free public colleges and universities. https://t.co/wGAWSjVIt7 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Drug companies have already hiked prices for more than 3,400 prescriptions in 2019 by an average that is 5x the rate of inflation. If Big Pharma keeps taking advantage of patents to raises prices on patients, the HHS will end their market exclusivity. https://t.co/9eaWtwvm9a — PolitiTweet.org

This is fantastic news. With so much federal funding at stake, we have to make sure that communities of color aren’t undercounted by the 2020 Census. https://t.co/aLcn6en5ZK — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s what I mean by restraint and diplomacy in our foreign policy: ✅ Repeal the AUMF ✅ Stop spending trillions on endless wars ✅ End weapons sales to Saudi Arabia and the UAE ✅ Invest in our people — PolitiTweet.org
