Reducing energy costs means an increase in short-term oil production — but it must ALSO include historic investment in renewable energy. Otherwise, we’re going to be subject to oil price spikes from foreign autocracies forever. — PolitiTweet.org

Of all students who take on student debt, about 40% don’t finish their degree within six years. We shouldn’t saddle people with thousands in debt for a degree they may not get, or may not even use. — PolitiTweet.org

Medicare for All would: 1️⃣ Ensure no one is weighed down by medical debt. 2️⃣ Prevent corporations from price gouging life-saving medications. 3️⃣ Save money for everyday people AND small businesses. Seems like a no-brainer to me. — PolitiTweet.org

I was struck how the Maytag plant was more than just a job for many in Galesburg. It was about family and community. Deindustrialization and unchecked globalization destroyed community across our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

@APIenergy Yes no where on the tape do I say they should discontinue production. I have called explicitly for an increase in short term production and for long term diversification. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Democrats must deliver for places like Galesburg. Corporate greed, NAFTA, & unfair China trade shuttered a profitable Maytag factory in 2004 costing 5000 jobs. Need manufacturing & tech investment. They have been waiting decades, telling their kids to leave. Justifiably angry. https://t.co/w7Sn1Z7icy — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to JUSTICE Ketanji Brown Jackson! A historic day and a historic nominee. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Democrats are fighting to pass historic climate legislation, put money back into your pocket, and increase wages — and we can pay for it by making the wealthy and multi billion dollar corporations pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I am for an increase in short term production, for releasing 180 million barrels from the Reserve, and for a moonshot for renewable energy. These are the facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

API & ⁦@mj_sommers⁩ continue to lie. I never said oil & gas should discontinue production in the US. They lied about climate change & they are lying now while fleecing Americans at the pump so Mike Sommers & Big oil can profit off the war. https://t.co/7ulriKprKA — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

While Big Oil takes raises prices on Americans at the pump, they use those profits to buy back stock and enrich their investors. Big Oil should suspend stock buybacks and dividends and use that profit to lower gas prices instead. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Proud to endorse @WinterForMT who is for creating high wage jobs in Montana in manufacturing, tech, and renewable energy. Montana can provide wind to a lot of the West Coast if we invest in the smart grid. A bold progressive voice with fresh ideas! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

It was great to join the @AddBourbon podcast. I enjoyed discussing how Silicon Valley can partner with areas that have been left out of the digital revolution, like Appalachia, to rebuild the middle class and stay competitive in the 21st century economy. https://t.co/GLDYE6YLbp — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

No one — not a single soul — should have to choose between paying their heating bill or their medical bill. Medicare for All protects working people from drowning in debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Do we have anyone go into debt to finish junior high school? No. High School? No. So why is it acceptable in a 21st century economy to have Americans go thousands of dollars in debt to finish a vocational certificate, community college or college? https://t.co/EFaYuLrKz9 — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Also to Neil is correct that oil price factors in future production. But the Keystone pipeline wound have increased global oil supply by less than 1 percent and economists believe would have a negligible impact on price. https://t.co/WhEt65PmMd — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@cvpayne Thanks @cvpayne. Appreciate the civil back and forth. What about the 180 million barrels that Biden released and guaranteeing a floor price to buy back for the strategic reserve. That’s common sense and would incentivize short term production. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Price gouging is the sudden increase in gas prices to $6 which is not reasonable. Big Oil should not have windfall profits at the expense of the working class. @TeamCavuto is fair. Civil debate like this leads to clearer thinking & policy. Don’t be afraid of hard interviews! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Price gouging is when there is a sudden increase in price beyond what is reasonable. I don’t think $6 gas is reasonable. Appropriate to tax the windfall profits of oil. The level of price increase is a different magnitude than in tech or other industries. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@cvpayne Come on @cvpayne, I have always respected you. You don’t think Putin’s war and the increased consumer demand after Covid have contributed to this increase? And would you not support a long term moonshot for renewables so Americans face less price volatility. — PolitiTweet.org
