Exactly right. Common sense proposal going forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Just to be clear none of this money is coming from taxpayers. It’s coming from a tax on banks that funds the FDIF. We should raise the premium payments for banks to protect depositors for payroll & regional banks and to prevent consolidation. That is progressive policy! — PolitiTweet.org

Why should the working class and middle class have to wait longer to retire to get Social Security? Instead of raising the retirement age, let’s raise scrap the cap and have the wealthy pay a percentage of tax on their entire income like firefighters and teachers. — PolitiTweet.org

Michigan could be one of the few states to overturn anti-union right-to-work law. Here’s why that matters: https://t.co/TTyIXjQFaX — PolitiTweet.org

The DERAIL Act is designed to keep our communities safe by tightening regulations on the rail industry to avoid another tragic derailment. Railway companies must be held to a higher standard. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine if politicians’ campaign funds were in SVB. Does anyone think we wouldn’t have had more action & communication? We owe hardworking Americans —farm workers, employees worrying about rent, retirees —the same urgency about deposits that determine whether they they get paid. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

23% of adults have been threatened with losing their job for taking time off when they or a family member gets sick. Paid sick leave will provide job security to millions of Americans & reduce worker turnover—2 changes that would strengthen the economy & the middle class. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The FDIC needs to investigate short sales over the past few months by executives, & at minimum, there should be a clawback with penalties of profits made. This should go to non-profits like Sunnyvale Community Services who are worried about losing SVB deposits & paying mortgage. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I made a strong case to Treasury & WH that best case scenario is a buyer so depositors are made whole, workers get paid & stay employed & clients don’t disrupt services. Buyer should have strict capital requirements & stress & liquidity tests. This wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Were you struggling to find a home you could afford in the last few years? That’s because you were competing with private-equity firms which owned 17,000 single-family homes in 2021. The #StopWallStreetLandlords act would help restore the American dream for working families. — PolitiTweet.org

@Jamie_Maz I have been critical about the Fed going from keeping rates at zero and missing inflation to the rapid raises and the impact that has had on workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The Treasury Department and FDIC must communicate loudly and clearly that depositors will be protected. The investors and executives of SBV should bear risk and lose. But this should not mean that workers go without paychecks on Monday or small businesses collapse. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Unions help strengthen the middle class. They negotiate fair wages for workers and ensure safe working environments. For our economy to flourish, we must bring labor unions and businesses together to create profitable companies where both workers and investors thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

“Made in America” helped make America the greatest economic power in recorded history. We can’t forget that. That’s why I’m calling for a moonshot investment to bring manufacturing jobs back. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Americans living in the South have the lowest credit scores in the country largely because of their medical debt. #MedicareforAll will eliminate burdensome medical debt and give Americans their buying power back. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Trumbull County in Ohio lost 68% of its manufacturing jobs since 2001. We need a moonshot investment to bring manufacturing jobs back to the heartland and revive the American Dream. — PolitiTweet.org

While food prices are at record highs, the SNAP expansion, which cut childhood poverty by 14% in 2021, has ended. No child should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. — PolitiTweet.org

The Inflation Reduction Act is doing its job to lower prices for consumers. Eli Lilly’s announcement that it will cap the price of insulin at $35 a month for all patients is the latest sign of the IRA’s positive impact. — PolitiTweet.org
