Even after Congress passed the bipartisan War Powers Resolution to end involvement in Yemen, Pompeo is still trying to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia. Civilians continue to be bombed in Yemen and over 14M face famine. No arms sales to Saudi Arabia. https://t.co/kJQH5GmUfT — PolitiTweet.org

@hamiltonnolan What we need is a higher estate tax, a financial transaction tax, limit on stock buybacks, $15 minimum wage, stronger unions, and reform of tax laws so they do not favor capital over labor. This will move the system to reward work and innovation, not the privileged and connected. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@hamiltonnolan This quote is accurate. But a longer conversation would reveal more nuance. I have no problem with billionaires who make genuine contributions to innovation & entrepreneurship. But I do think bad policy leads to billionaires who engage in what Sitglitz calls rent seeking behavior — PolitiTweet.org

The Clean Air Act is bipartisan legislation that has saved trillions of dollars and millions of American lives over the past few decades. Now Trump is gutting environmental regulations. We must unite around bold solutions to address the climate crisis. https://t.co/mx2EDZYPmV — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@eatyerbroccoli @hamiltonnolan I have pointed to globalization, the decline of unions, rising health care costs, automation, and tax laws that privilege capital all as causes of stagnation. We explored one of these issues in depth. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s new immigration policy is an attack on family-based immigration and doesn’t even address the thousands of DREAMers who live every single day with uncertainty about their futures. We must fight for a humane immigration policy which includes a path to citizenship. — PolitiTweet.org

.@wolfblitzer lost his grandparents in the Holocaust & his parents survived slave labor camps. After the war, his father stood in line in Munich & learned they were giving visas to America. His parents loved America. This video is what America stands for. https://t.co/o6a5OS3y4b — PolitiTweet.org

Gilead Sciences is donating Truvada to 200,000 patients per year but more than a million Americans need the drug and many will still need to pay more than $1,600 for a drug that costs around $6 to make. https://t.co/Cyv1dqvWKH — PolitiTweet.org

Trump keeps talking about helping Puerto Rico but the reality is that the island received only 1/7th of what Trump claims. It's disgraceful how badly this administration has neglected our fellow Americans. https://t.co/LQXZQcAWPL — PolitiTweet.org

@pammaysmcdonald Please see above. I said a change agent who runs on pluralism and inclusion as a contrast. — PolitiTweet.org

If @AjitPaiFCC gets his way and T-Mobile and Sprint are allowed to merge, it will leave three corporations controlling most of the cell phone service in the United States. This would mean: 📈 Higher prices for service 📉 Fewer options for consumers https://t.co/j1vhdnatSS — PolitiTweet.org

We need a leader who will be able to inspire on a vision of pluralism and be seen as a change agent against the status quo. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

One lesson from Modi’s win is that dynastic, establishment candidates are weak. Democrats need to make sure that our candidate against Trump can connect with people’s frustration and offer a positive vision for change. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

DREAMers filled out forms, gave us their information, and paid a $500 fee to live and work in the United States. Today they still live with uncertainty, protected only through court orders. Democrats must oppose any immigration plan that doesn’t include the DREAM Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

TransDigm dominated the market for basic yet integral parts for tools that our military rely on – allowing them to price-gouge the Pentagon by increasing prices by over 4000%. Ordinary Americans shouldn’t be footing the bill so defense contractors could make massive profits. — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats @eastbaycitizen! These ceremonies are a reminder of the best of America! — PolitiTweet.org

Nobody should be retaliated against for reporting sexual assault but that's what happened to Brittany Hoyos and dozens of former Mcdonald's employees Now they are suing because the company failed to protect them from sexual assault. #MeTooMcdonalds https://t.co/XCUPceyeJO — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If a billion dollar company can afford to pay their CEO $21.8 million, then they can pay their workers a living wage and keep them safe from sexual harassment. I stand with all the Mcdonald’s workers who are on strike today. #FightFor15 #MeTooMcdonalds — PolitiTweet.org

Why did so many Democrats work with Republicans to rollback Dodd-Frank regulations ten years after the financial crisis wiped out the wealth of millions of Americans? The financial industry donates to both sides. — PolitiTweet.org

Having an abortion is one of the toughest decisions that a woman has to make, and it should be between her and her doctor. Politicians should have no say in how women care for their bodies or live their lives. #StopTheBans — PolitiTweet.org

I am glad Cheri listened to me and other progressives and reversed herself on Lipinski. Hopefully she will also listen to @PramilaJayapal @MarkPocan and me on reversing the vendor blacklist. Lets fix these blunders so we can focus on expanding our majority! — PolitiTweet.org

Why do we spend more on locking people up than we do on education? Our priorities must be universities, colleges, and trade schools instead of mass incarceration. https://t.co/9xCbjOcyae — PolitiTweet.org

The decision to go to war with Iran isn’t up to President Trump. It’s also not up to the war hawks in his administration or the defense contractors who donate huge sums to influence our political system. Only Congress has the power to decide on matters of war and peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Hundreds of #StopTheBans events took place across the country yesterday as people sent a clear message: #AbortionIsAWomansRight We will not allow Republicans to overturn Roe v. Wade. — PolitiTweet.org

As investors profit from marijuana, thousands of people every year continue to be arrested — especially in communities of color. The “war on drugs” has been a war on people of color across this country. We must end the prohibition of cannabis and expunge all low level offenses. https://t.co/Z8GJushTkY — PolitiTweet.org
