America needs bold investment, not indiscriminate tariffs. That's the argument I'm going to make at the City Club of Cleveland on Monday, April 14th in the heart of Vance's home state. Will you join me? www.cityclub.org

Republicans in Congress stopped holding town halls. Democratic leadership failed us. So I went to three red districts and held town halls for the people. Here’s what happened:

Opinion | There’s Nothing Real About Trump’s ‘Real America’

Under Trump, we are becoming unrecognizable to our former selves.

Taxing the very rich & cutting defense contractors to pay for Medicare for All, universal education and $10 day childcare. And having the biggest high paying jobs development initiative this country has seen in decades. A pro growth, fiscally sound, progressive vision!

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

We need a transformative vision so that ordinary Americans have a shot at success in the modern economy. That is what my economic patriotism is about. It is about finally getting economic security and independence for the majority of Americans.

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

Why would we want to go back to that --where people in too many communities do not have high paying jobs, young folks cant afford a house, many struggling to pay medical debt or afford childcare.

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

We cant simply go back to an America where we neglect inequality, or watch jobs being shipped offshore passively, or are resigned to wealth piling up in NY and SV while most Americans have no economic security.

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

We also need new high paying jobs and economic growth. The times demand a Marshall plan for America's economic renewal. We can spur high paying job creation in every town & city that will lead to growth & increased tax revenue reducing deficit.

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

We can do it in a financially sound way. The way we reduce deficits is by taxing the wealthy more, cutting the bloated defense budget, cutting fossil fuel subsidies, & having medicare negotiate against drug manufacturers to lower costs.

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

Thread: Dems must reject the economic illiteracy of Trump's blanket tariffs that will drive prices up, investment down, growth down--pushing us towards stagflation. That doesn't mean embracing status quo policies that led to Trump. Gov't has to improve life for many struggling.

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

The saddest thing about Trump's incoherent tariff policy is it will betray the working class voters who have seen 90,000 factories shut down. The left does not need to embrace economic nonsense to rebuild. FDR rejected high tariffs & relied on massive domestic investment.

90,000 factories have shut down since 2000. Trump won the election on the promise to make life better for working Americans who have been shafted by 40+ years of failed economic policy. What's sad to me is that Trump is letting the American people down.

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

Reagan warned us: Blanket tariffs sound patriotic but are not. They drive inflation up & innovation down. Has any other President done more to sabotage our nation’s wealth in a single act than Trump? This is not how you rebuild & saddest part it lets down people in factory towns.

And don't let establishment consultants in. Do not water down your message or compromise your values. Run on M4A, taxing billionaires, big economic ideas for the future. People want fighters and out of the box leaders.
