When you impose blanket tariffs, implement severe restrictions on immigration, and make huge cuts in government service, you set the stage for a recession. A Trump recession would be caused not be external shocks, but by dumb policy choices.

California congressman provides tech career opportunities for HBCU students

California congressman provides tech career opportunities for HBCU students JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) – Connecting high-paying Silicon Valley jobs with Black students is the mission of congressma…

What’s a Silicon Valley congressman doing in Jackson? Helping JSU students get tech jobs

TechWise is a Google-sponsored program helping Jackson State University students train for and land high-paying jobs in the tech industry.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialAug 8(source)

We need to create opportunities for all Americans to have good jobs in the AI and digital revolution. Many Jackson State students are participating and getting tech jobs. I’m proud to be leading this effort with the TechWise program across our nation. mississippitoday.org/2025/08/08/r...

Khanna promotes tech job training for HBCU students - Mississippi Today

Rep. Ro Khanna's visit is part of the congressman’s broader effort to connect Black communities, particularly in the Deep South, with the uber-wealthy companies in his home district.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialAug 8(source)

Let me understand: Republicans shut down Congress because they didn't want to pass Rep. Thomas Massie & my bill for the full release of the Epstein file and so they could meet Netanyahu?

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialAug 8(source)

I took my agenda for AI literacy to Jackson, MS. I had helped set up a tech program at Jackson State which gives students a $5,000 scholarship and an 18 month course, placing them after in 65k plus digital jobs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG3N...

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialAug 7(source)

I don’t take PAC money and have no Super PAC. I answer to the people. That’s why I fight for Medicare for All. That’s why I fight for a living wage. And that is why I am fighting for the US to recognize a Palestinian state.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialAug 7(source)

I stopped at Medgar Evers’ home in Mississippi. The Trump admin is trying to erase Evers' history. By dishonoring him, we're erasing Black history.

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

A 23-year-old mom died because she did not get a D&C procedure in time. This is what is happening in Trump/Vance's America.

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

I’m tired of politicians scapegoating immigrants and treating them like political pawns. Hear these stories and try to tell me the system is working. It isn’t.

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

Americans are most stressed about grocery prices. Yet tomatoes at Mario's grocery store in Vegas have gone up from $1.19 a pound to $1.99 because of our tariffs on tomatoes from Mexico. RT if you think we should repeal those tomato tariffs! www.axios.com/2025/08/04/g...

Most U.S. adults stressed by grocery costs: poll

Just 14% said the price of groceries was not a source of stress.

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

Our party hungers for moral leadership. Let us oppose military aid used to kill civilians to Israel during a mass starvation & recognize a Palestinian state. Let us stand up for the rights of immigrants. Let us not abandon trans kids. It is time to stand for human dignity.

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

In August 2019, when Bernie was here, over 350 turned out to see him. Tonight, about 600 people turned out to join us at our town hall in Las Vegas. The progressive movement that Bernie seeded only grows stronger.

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

I will not be intimidated. You don't know me or my grandfather. "Khanna...whose district has significant Israeli Americans.. could face significant backlash from the Bay Area Jewish community...Ro Khanna has disappointed many,"' warned Tali Kilma. jweekly.com/2025/08/01/r...

Rep. Khanna seeks recognition of Palestinian state

After his draft letter was leaked, Rep. Ro Khanna says he has already gathered 10 signatures of members of Congress beside his own.

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

Someone leaked our effort to try to sabotage it. Sad. It won't work. Recognizing a Palestinian state is an idea whose time has come. The response of my colleagues has been overwhelming. We will build support and release prior to the UN convening. jewishinsider.com/2025/07/ro-k...

Rep. Khanna, progressives push for U.S. recognition of Palestinian state

A letter signed by prominent House progressives said such a state ‘will need to fully recognize Israel’ and guarantee ‘the disarmament of and relinquishing of power by Hamas’

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 31(source)

A man-made starvation in Gaza. Crushing healthcare costs. New college grads struggling to get employment. This is not the most pressing issue facing our country.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 31(source)

We need a rebirth of the Democratic party. We need to be a new populist party. That is why I am pushing so hard for the full release of the Epstein files. The question is: whose side are you on?

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 31(source)

I look forward to working with President Sheinbaum for years to come.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 31(source)

Democrats could learn from Sheinbaum. She doesn't hide from the media. She speaks to the press every morning. She is focused on a Mexico Plan for growth, jobs, and the security of her country. She spoke out clearly on Gaza and human rights.
