We spoke about the need for worker-centered policies. This means building manufacturing capacity. It means increasing the minimum wage. It means expanding Social Security. It means attracting investment for new jobs and preparing people for the AI economy.

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

Rep. Don Bacon and I are committed to helping resolve the trade dispute. The tomato tariffs are irrational and hurting Sinaloa. If we hurt Mexican tomato farmers, we are helping cartels in that state. Plus, we are hurting $8 billion in American retail revenue on tomatoes and consumers.

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

We spoke about the need for a rational immigration policy. She was committed to policies that would integrate migrants into Mexico's economy. We need to have legalization for those Mexican immigrants who are here working hard and paying taxes.

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

We spoke about the importance of investment in security. She has a zero-tolerance policy for the cartels and is going after them aggressively.

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

Thread: I had the honor of meeting President Sheinbaum for 30 minutes. She was extremely impressive. I share her commitment to a progressive politics that is pro-jobs, pro-wage, and pro-innovation. Sheinbaum gets the importance of AI and digitization for Mexico.

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

It seems like Trump, like George W, wants to privatize social security. If they win again in 2026, there is no doubt they will go for it. Democrats must win back the House in 2026 to save social security.

Treasury Secretary Bessent on 'Trump Accounts': "It is a backdoor for privatizing Social Security....That's a game changer."

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

President Claudia Sheinbaum is the most consequential progressive world leader. Look forward to mtg today. I share your belief that hard-working Mexican immigrants in the US need the chance to work legally-- helping both of our nations. I also support social investments for our working class.

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

This is the time to vocally support @ramirez.house.gov Stop the Bombs Act. No Democrat who wants to lead our party should be for providing Netanyahu with offensive weapons while he is complicit in a mass man-made starvation. I am proud to join as a co sponsor.

There has to be a total mindset change in the Democratic party. When the war ends, we are not going back to the pre-October 7 status quo.

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

Democrats need a rebirth & rejection of the status quo. More than words. It means speaking out on the starvation in Gaza. It means M4A. It means banning Super Pacs. It means no to the transactional politics that screwed Bernie in 2020. It means the full release of Epstein files.

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

A candid hour long conversation with Mexican Foreign Secretary de la Fuente. We need to repeal high tariffs on tomatoes & vegetables, hurting our consumers & the Mexican economy.

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

Rep. Don Bacon & I enjoyed Mexican flag shots after a productive meeting today with Mexican Foreign Secretary de la Fuente on lowering tariffs on tomatoes, defense cooperation & a rational immigration policy. We look forward to our meeting with Claudia Sheinbaum, a great leader!

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

This is about trust in government. If we want to have bold government initiatives like a 21st century Marshall Plan for America or Medicare for All, we need people to believe that government works for them, not the rich and powerful.

In an interview with Meet the Press, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) talk about their bipartisan effort to force the Department of Justice to release the files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

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

Today I’m calling clearly and simply: Mr. Netanyahu, let in the food. Mr. Netanyahu, stop blocking humanitarian aid and causing a man-made starvation in Gaza. The times of the United States providing you a blank check are over.

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

I am sick of the tired platitude that for an ally like Israel we must not disagree publicly or in the media. Not when there is mass starvation. This is the time for every American to speak up publicly. PM Netanyahu, let in the food, medicine & aid. We must not be complicit.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 24(source)

Republicans increased taxes on the working class by repealing the credits for millions who get insurance from the ACA exchanges. Gene Sperling shows that they hiked premiums for working class Americans. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Republicans are adding health care taxes — but not on the rich

It’s not too late for Congress to extend existing tax breaks for working families.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 24(source)

Medicare for All is popular in the South. Take a look for yourself.

Republicans in Congress chose to cut working-class Americans' Medicaid benefits to give the ultra-wealthy another tax break. I’m hosting two town halls in Nevada and one in Georgia to talk to you about what these cuts really mean and how we can win back the House and the Senate in 2026.

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

@jonathanjackson.house.gov: "We're here today to inform you, to let you know, because no town halls were taking place, we weren't able to get hearings in Washington DC on one big bill. There's no record of this... We need to make sure the doors of democracy are open."
