Congratulations to our many endorsed candidates who won their primaries this month. I was proud to back a wide range of candidates, united by a dedication to making America work for working people again. And more victories to come tonight in NY, MD, & UT!

Elon Musk Wants Me in Prison. I Want Him Under Oath.

The richest man in the world announced that he plans to sue me and called for my arrest.

This is a lesson that diplomacy works better than military interventions to change regimes. @kasie.bsky.social

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJun 15(source)

We should support the ceasefire deal with Iran. But Obama's JCPOA had the force of international law through the security council and intrusive inspections. It also led to far less in transfer of dollars to the Iranian regime than is being reported.

Wall street folks are celebrating Elon Musk for creating 4,400 millionaires. Fine. Did any of them celebrate Joe Biden's IRA, ARP, CHIPS for creating millions of good paying jobs? Our barometer should be opportunity & stability for the majority, not simply wealth for the few.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJun 15(source)

Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American. And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars! You don't think that's worth it?

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJun 15(source)

This the basic difference. Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJun 15(source)

Musk is worth more than South Africa’s GDP. Bernie Sanders and I proposed a 5% tax on people like him. In one year, it could fund: - free public college & trade school -$10/day childcare - Special-needs education nationwide Wealth inequality is the moral failure of our time.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJun 15(source)

Kennedy called for us to go to the Moon. Reagan said we had a rendezvous with destiny to stand up to authoritarianism. Rubio celebrates UFC as our national calling. How have we fallen this far?

Inside the White House Freakout Over the Epstein Files

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJun 15(source)

A lot of Democrats talk about fighting Trump. Many tweet out against him, post memes, or call him names. But Thomas Massie & my Epstein Transparency Act is by far the most effective action in taking Trump on and breaking his coalition since he walked down the escalator. Even JD Vance admits that.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJun 15(source)

A cover up for sexual abuse brought down Orban. The cover up of the Epstein files is bringing down Trump. What Rep. Thomas Massie and I did passing the Epstein Files Act cracked Trump's coalition.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMay 28(source)

I am here because Tom Steyer, the billionaire, is the only candidate willing to say tax the billionaires.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMay 23(source)

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

Ro Khanna blames 'clueless' boomers for Gen Z booing AI: They handed over a ‘broken economy' | Fortune fortune.com/2026/05/21/r...

Ro Khanna blames 'clueless' boomers for Gen Z booing AI: They handed over a ‘broken economy' | Fortune

"Young people are anxious, that they're economically frustrated, and they view AI with deep anxiety and suspicion, not as some kind of great thing."

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMay 21(source)

We need to tax agentic AI more than workers. Our tax code provides bonus depreciation for AI but is stacked against human ingenuity. It makes no sense to provide tax breaks for capital in a capital biased world.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMay 21(source)

The AG has not prosecuted anyone in the Epstein class. The AG has given Trump & his family indefinite immunity. The AG has set up a slush fund to pay off Trump's criminal allies. Enough is enough. When Democrats are in charge, we will stand up against two tiers of justice.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMay 21(source)

Democrats must take on the modern day Dred Scott Court. South Carolina is eliminating the only Black majority seat. Term limits on Justices now. Expand the Court from 9 to 13 Justices.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMay 20(source)

Massie lost his primary & Chris Rabb secured a big victory. The message is clear: if you take a stand against war, AIPAC, & the Epstein class, you have no place in the Trump coalition. But the future of the Democratic Party that is done with the establishment is yours to shape.
