A billion-dollar company that receives a $225 million tax break can afford to give their workers a living wage and affordable healthcare. I stand with the Stop and Shop workers who are on strike to fight back against cuts to their benefits and wages. https://t.co/qcTHSnCiUb — PolitiTweet.org

The largest corporations should have paid $16.4 billion in taxes under the 21 percent corporate tax rate. Instead they paid ZERO. How much income tax did you pay in 2018? #TaxDay https://t.co/77crETinfV — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the disconnect: Some conservatives believe personal charity is enough to tackle inequality. So they are focused on Sanders donating. But Sanders is focused on policies to reverse poverty & inequality. He gets that personal generosity can’t make up for good public policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Thank you @BernieSanders for asking @realDonaldTrump to sign a bipartisan resolution to end the war in Yemen. Mr. President, you would make history by becoming the first to sign a War Powers Resolution. Let’s end endless wars. @RandPaul @mattgaetz @TeamMeadows @MikeLeeforUtah — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow, I will be answering your questions. Ask me anything about being @BernieSanders’ National Campaign Co-Chair, Medicare for All, the Internet Bill of Rights, Yemen, Green New Deal and more!

When I referred to the GOP tax plan as “Robin Hood in reverse” this is what I meant. Here are just some of the 60 mega-corporations that paid nothing in federal taxes last year. #TaxDay https://t.co/PImSKdZqEn — PolitiTweet.org

“Iowans have known since Drake served in 1895 that education is the way out from behind the horse.” Brilliant line from @cullen_art brilliant book — Storm Lake. It’s a must read to understand why we should be hopeful about the future of rural America. @douglaswburns — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Anyone who has any doubt why we need American tech companies to win the race against Alibaba, Baidu, and Tencent should read this article. The lack of respect for workers is appalling. https://t.co/5vnZfH6jmK — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Today is #TaxDay and the results are as predicted: The 60 largest corporations spent $0 in federal income tax and S&P 500 companies spent $806B on stock buybacks last year for wealthy investors. Meanwhile, only 14 percent of Americans have said that their taxes have gone down. — PolitiTweet.org

“Iowans have known since Drake served in 1985 that education is the way out from behind the horse.” Brilliant line in @cullen_art brilliant book Storm Lake. A must read for anyone who seeks to be inspired about the future of rural America. @douglaswburns — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I am glad @realDonaldTrump called @CarterCenter. We need to listen to the wisdom of President Carter on North Korea outcompeting China. At stake is whether free enterprise, democracy or authoritarianism will be the model for the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

“And...if you take $3 trillion and put it in American infrastructure you’d probably have $2 trillion leftover. We’d have high-speed railroad. We’d have bridges that aren’t collapsing..Our education system would be as good as that of say South Korea or Hong Kong.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

“How many miles of high-speed railroad do we have in this country?” he asked. While China has some 18,000 miles of high-speed rail, the U.S. has “wasted, I think, $3 trillion” on military spending. “It’s more than you can imagine. China has not wasted a single penny on war.” — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

President Jimmy Carter this weekend offered the most profound insights of any modern politician in what America must do to win the 21st century. “Since 1979, do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody?” Carter asked. “None. And we have stayed at war.” — PolitiTweet.org

If Big Pharma isn’t abusing the system to keep prescription drug prices high, then why are Republicans warning them not to comply with our Oversight investigation? https://t.co/KnRB2e7UyT — PolitiTweet.org

@benigma2017 This is pretty funny. My wife’s family are huge browns fans. They watched every game when they were 0-16. They tell me the Browns will be pretty good this year! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@benigma2017 @dunwithdem @USProgressives Fair enough. But if you look at my voting record, it’s very very progressive. Opposed defense increases, opposed interventions, supported bold, progressive policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Many of those who support increasing our bloated defense budget each year think it’s outrageous to invest in healthcare, education, good-paying jobs and renewable energy. What’s truly outrageous is opposing militarism but then supporting the budgets that make it possible. https://t.co/dywN4wnGEy — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@benigma2017 @dunwithdem @USProgressives I have no problem with accountability. It’s fair and that’s why I replied to you. I welcome your doing that. It’s an essential part of democracy. No one is perfect, and we need voices like yours. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@benigma2017 @dunwithdem I never went on TV on this. I tweeted in the morning saying I planned to vote No. Honestly did! Then after committee learned they voiced voted it. You can blame me that I should have paid closer attention to the procedural shenanigans. But that’s the truth of what happened. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@benigma2017 @dunwithdem I don’t :) I was in a committee hearing. There was supposed to be a vote later where I was planning to vote no. They decided to voice vote it that day while many members were in committee. I wasn’t on the floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@benigma2017 @dunwithdem There was no vote. I was in a committee hearing asking Kerry questions on climate change (you can watch cspan) when they decided to voice vote it on the floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Ohio, Georgia, Alabama are just a few of the states where Republicans are trying to pass bills to make it nearly impossible for women to have an abortion. Make no mistake: This wouldn’t ban abortions. It would ban safe, legal abortions and put women and their doctors at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

When Republicans talk about “right-to-work” what they really mean is the right to work for less. The Workplace Democracy Act would end these disastrous laws by reaffirming that workers have a constitutional right to organize for better wages and working conditions. https://t.co/4b9TOuwPFu — PolitiTweet.org

The America that I’m fighting for invests in: ✅ Healthcare, not war ✅ Education, not incarceration ✅ Infrastructure, not hedge fund speculation ✅ $15 and a union, not tax free corporations — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Don’t let the pundits get away with calling Medicare for All unreasonable. The truth is: it's the reasonable solution for our healthcare system which takes the excessive costs of deductibles, premiums and insurance companies out of the equation. https://t.co/eFPFcKkiBQ — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Big Pharma CEOs made more in 2018 than the CDC spent on preventing chronic illnesses like heart disease — which is a leading cause of death in America. Our healthcare system should be centered around human need over Big Pharma greed: Medicare for All. https://t.co/AHa79zM7bv — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It’s an honor to be National Campaign Co-Chair for @BernieSanders and on April 16th, I will be sitting down to answer your questions about how our movement plans to solve the serious issues facing America.

Heritage ranks Taiwan ahead of the US in economic freedom (#10 v #12). Taiwan also has a single payer system w/ better benefits than Medicare and less cost than the US system. So calling Medicare for All “socialized medicine” is pure intellectual nonsense https://t.co/lXqtDkxpzr — PolitiTweet.org
