It is an honor to serve as the new Ranking Member of the House Select Committee on China. Americans have been shafted as the trade deficit with China has widened causing jobs to leave.

The WPI Conversation: ‘We can’t have China hold the world hostage’

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) sat down for an exclusive interview on his new post as ranking Democrat on the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 6(source)

We need a new economic patriotism of investment in our communities and a new era of American innovation in every place across our nation.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 5(source)

As a response to the illegal strikes in Venezuela, Congress must force votes and debate every day this month on War Power Resolutions to prevent Trump from invading: Cuba Colombia Greenland Nigeria Panama Iran It is time for Congress to wake up & do our job.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 4(source)

These are not the values we teach our kids. Silence in the face of militarism is a betrayal of America's fundamental principles. youtu.be/H_fxiEFxSnI

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 4(source)

The invasion of Venezuela is a moral test for our nation. Most Americans are not for gunboat diplomacy. We do not believe in using the awesome power of our military to plunder weaker and poorer nations.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 4(source)

Most painfully, they violate our sense of morality. Most Americans do not believe you can just invade another country with brute force and take their oil. youtu.be/oDfwHqi6gwE

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 4(source)

Trump's actions flouted the Constitution. They will waste American resources. They violate international law and isolate us from allies like France and Germany.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 4(source)

The silence from many media-hyped 2028 contenders today is shocking. If you cannot oppose this regime change war for oil, you don't have the moral clarity or guts to lead our party or nation.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 3(source)

Trump was elected to make Americans lives better. Now he is intent on running Venezuela for some time. I want a 21st century Marshall Plan for America, not Venezuela.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 3(source)

Good jobs at home, no dumb wars, and accountability. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

‘I believe this is going to be a reckoning’: Ro Khanna, the man behind the Epstein files act, on building bipartisan wins

The California Democrat believes common ground does not only lie in the center – and has the successes to prove it

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 3(source)

The times call for a movement of the American people to stand against bloated defense budgets and warmongering. We need statesmen who will heed the advice of Washington and our founders and invest in jobs, healthcare, childcare & education for our people.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 3(source)

They get us entangled in conflicts abroad, while ignoring the lack of good jobs and high costs for Americans at home. What will we say now if Xi Jinping wants to capture Lai of Taiwan or Putin tries to capture Zelensky in Ukraine?

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 3(source)

Donald Trump betrayed his MAGA base today launching a war of choice to bring regime change in Venezuela. We keep voting against dumb wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, & Libya. But our Presidents bow to a foreign policy blob committed to militarism.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 2(source)

Thanks @sanders.senate.gov not for just having my back below, but the backs of all working class Americans. I was proud to co-chair your campaign in 2020. Your integrity is the reason you won CA-17 and California decisively!

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

Restoring TRUST in government is the highest priority.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

I also will work on legislation to call for a full independent audit of California's budget. I believe we can and must ask those Americans who have done well to pay more so everyone has healthcare and education. In turn, we must provide an accountable and transparent government.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

Today, I am announcing that in 2026 I will be working on a bipartisan basis on Oversight to request hearings on state governments' high risk programs, including California, that have led to illegal payments and eligibility errors.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

That is why I have opposed the bloated defense budget which has repeatedly failed an audit.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

While calling for higher taxes, FDR also decried the "tax burden caused by inefficient and extravagant local government." I have always been for accountability and taking on corruption. That is what my work with Massie on the Epstein files is all about.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

One common concern I have heard from constituents all week who have flooded my inbox is about fraud, waste, and abuse in Sacramento. I hear you.
