I will never stop fighting for the survivors. I shared with @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com why.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialOct 1(source)

Trump saying that survivors are a hoax means that the survivors are lying, Nancy Mace is lying, MTG is lying, and Speaker Johnson who heard the survivors for 2 hours, is lying. Who do you believe the survivors or Trump?

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

The government is heading towards a shut down, and Republicans are so focused on protecting rich and powerful men that they won’t allow votes this week or swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social who won her race with 69%.

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

We have deeply unserious people in charge. They view politics as cheap comedy. The consequence is failed economic policy with higher prices, no vaccines, and sabotaging scientific & medical research. Our nation is desperate for a politics of substance again.

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

Trump's NSPM-7 represses freedom of speech & association, investigating any organization with "anti-capitalism" or "anti-American" views. I ran a primary in 2003 against the Patriot Act & war in Iraq. NSPM-7 is a greater infringement on freedoms than the Patriot Act.

✅ 1 pot of coffee today $2.96 ✅ 1 pot of coffee January $2.34 ✅ 26% coffee tax b/c of Trump tariffs We fought a revolution over the tax on tea. It's time to repeal the tax on coffee!

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 29(source)

$20 billion to Israel $20 billion to Argentina Cuts to Medicaid & ACA Enough I am for an end to dumb wars & investing in America. A new economic patriotism!

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 29(source)

Horrified and heartbroken by the church shooting in Michigan. Praying for the families of the victims and all of the congregants.

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

Enough of the games to protect a rich & corrupt elite. The American people want transparency and justice for the survivors. Swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

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

Have you noticed the change in the pro Israel lobby group's platitudes? They no longer claim that the American people support them. They now say they will be vindicated by history. Now everyone sees how unpopular Israel's war is & that supporting it is toxic electorally.

46 Democrats have signed my historic letter calling for the recognition of a Palestinian state. Hope to cross 50 before tomorrow’s deadline despite the intimidation & intense lobbying campaign against us. Is your member of Congress on this letter? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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

When Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz left Congress, Republicans swore in their replacements during a pro forma session. If they don’t do the same for @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social on Tuesday, they’ll be breaking precedent. The only reason is to block the release of the Epstein files.

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

Invest in Middletown, OH not Millei, JD Vance! That's what a new economic patriotism is about.

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

Honored to have joined CBC week with @jonathanjackson.house.gov and foreign ministers of Colombia and South Africa. I spoke about my grandfather's fight alongside Gandhi for democracy & the connection with civil rights leaders whose work paved the way for my family and so many to come to the US.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 27(source)

Adelita Grijalva should get sworn in Tuesday. Republicans swore in 2 of their Florida members right away. But the government is about to shut down and leadership is more concerned with blocking Massie & my vote to release the Epstein files. What are they hiding?

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 26(source)

There is an assault on the free speech of many Black Americans who have expressed disagreement with Charlie Kirk's views. Professionals at Clemson and Winthrop have been fired and HBCUs have seen increasing threats. Hamilton Grant and I discuss the stakes.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 26(source)

Protect Medicare & Medicaid, not Milei!

Hey JD Vance, $20 billion to Argentina, but nothing to workers in Ohio & PA facing rising costs?

Ask your member to join our letter. It closes at 4pm tomorrow. Recognizing a Palestinian state is a moral test for elected leaders. newrepublic.com/post/200969/...

A List of Every House Democrat Calling on Trump to Recognize Palestine

Representative Ro Khanna plans to deliver a letter to Trump from Democratic lawmakers on the recognition of Palestine. Is your member of Congress on the list?

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 26(source)

House Democrats to send letter to Trump on Friday urging US to recognize Palestinian statehood

Exclusive: Letter, led by Ro Khanna, has 46 signatories and calls for ‘long overdue need to recognize Palestinian self-determination’

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialSep 25(source)

At a time of rising prices and joblessness in America, Trump is providing $20 billion to failed Argentinian President Milei and billions to Netanyahu used for killing civilians in Gaza. It is time for a new generation of leaders who will actually put American families first.
