Benefits Over Billionaires in Las Vegas, NV: Ro Khanna, Protect Our Care, & Progressive Partners! · Ro For Congress

On August 3rd, I'm hosting a town hall with Protect Our Care and other progressive partners in Las Vegas, NV. We must win back the House in 2026 to secure the House Majority and make President Trump a...

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

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."

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

Medicare for All is not just moral, it makes economic sense.

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

This is a Congress that wants to have bloated defense budgets for overseas wars and tax breaks for billionaires. What we need is a government that is going to tax wealth and make sure we are investing in our public schools and healthcare here at home.

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

People are tired of politicians who know how to speak in fancy ways and may sound charismatic but don't actually have plans to improve their lives.

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

Frederick Douglass showed more courage defending immigration in 1869 than some of our own Democrats have in 2025.

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

Today, a young person in South Carolina asked me what Democrats should do to win again. It’s simple: Democrats have to have a laser focus on what is going to improve peoples lives.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 19(source)

We need to be the party that takes on the rich and powerful. That’s why I want the Epstein files released. That’s why I take no PAC money. That’s why I take no lobbyist money. We need to be on the side of the people.

Join Rep. Ro Khanna and progressive partners for town halls nationwide!

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 18(source)

Republicans just tried to save money by cutting $1.1B from public broadcasting. What about going after the $4.5T being given to billionaires in tax breaks? If you're frustrated or wondering what this means, please come to my town halls this weekend in South Carolina. All are welcome.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 18(source)

Now we have 10 Republican sponsors. The Republicans have been huddling all day. Rules members are afraid to vote my bill down again! Let us vote on Massie & my bill to release the Epstein files. Populism & accountability can bring the left & right together to do the right thing!

@rokhanna.bsky.social: The Epstein bait-and-switch is "exposing the hollowness of their campaign promises. They said they were gonna take on the rich and powerful, they were gonna hold them to account, these corrupt men who exploited and abused young girls... and they're betraying their promise."

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 17(source)

When JFK was president trust in government was at 60%, now it is in the teens. People ask me: why should we care about the Epstein files when Americans are losing healthcare & their rights? Because trust matters. Without trust, you cannot have a government of, by, and for the people.

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

Rules voted 5-7 to block the full House from voting on my amendment to have a FULL release of the Epstein file. People are fed up. They are fed up. Thanks Rep. Ralph Norman. Need to put the American people before party!

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

Rules voted 5-7 to deny my amendment calling for a FULL release of the Epstein file a vote in the House.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 13(source)

Why are the Epstein files still hidden? Who are the rich & powerful being protected? On Tuesday, I'm introducing an amendment to force a vote demanding the FULL Epstein files be released to the public. The Speaker must call a vote & put every Congress member on record.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 9(source)

People are tired of our broken system. The common sense position for Democratic politicians to run on is Medicare for All.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJul 9(source)

The Trump bill repealed the 30 percent tax credit for solar and wind & provided a 2.5% tax credit for coal instead, labeling it a "critical rare earth mineral" like cobalt. You can't make this stuff up!

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

How about you come to my town hall with @jonathanjackson.house.gov on July 19th? You can explain your vote to cut Medicaid and food assistance to your constituents. We'll make sure you are treated fairly. mobilize.us/rokhanna/eve...

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

This is not about politics, but saving future lives. Let's not cut the National Weather Service. Let's not cut FEMA. With hurricane season and more storms possibly coming, as a nation we must agree to restore funding and fill positions.
