ABC NEWS: Thousands of protesters have flooded the streets of Boston demonstrating in the anti-Trump "Hands Off!" rally. It's one of 1,200 other protests unfolding in all 50 states across the country.

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.

Is this JD Vance’s vision of bringing manufacturing back? How's it going so far... www.wxyz.com/news/600-dea...

Let’s cut through the spin—Trump is gutting DHHS, and Big Pharma and Big Ag will be able to skirt safety regulations for higher profits.

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.

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

Trump's high tariffs on allies may cause the first policy induced recession since the Volcker recession (1980-82). Volcker had reason to control inflation, but with Trump it is just his whim. Bernanke warned of policy uncertainty causing recessions. Any other examples?

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

Proud of @booker.senate.gov ! It would be poetic justice if he beats Strom Thurmond's record of speaking 24 hour and 18 minutes to block the 1957 Civil Rights Act. Yes, the longest filibuster in our nation's history was to block civil rights

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

We can't let our government be outsourced to billionaires who want to dismantle Medicaid & slash education funding to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. What we are seeing in response is a popular revolt to take back government for the people.

Here are 5 concrete steps Democrats can take right now to stop Trump. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | I held three town halls in GOP districts. I heard one question over and over.

Republicans are cancelling town halls in their districts. I’m a Democrat and I went to find out what those voters would like to say to their elected officials.

Thank you, Sherrod Brown. Democrats must listen and lead on issues that matter to American workers. Follow @dignityofwork.bsky.social

All work has dignity. Americans are working harder than ever, with less to show for it. Sherrod Brown is launching the Dignity of Work Institute to create an economy where work is valued, workers benefit from the wealth they create, and everyone can afford a decent living.

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

1 challenge w/Trump's policies is it takes 6-7 years to build factories. It won't be effective if the Admin doesn't work w/Congress b/c companies will only invest in new production if they believe any targeted tariffs & smart industrial policy will be permanent. prospect.org/economy/2025...

The Trade Policy We Need

Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs are incoherent, but that should not discredit targeted tariffs paired with investment as a policy lever.

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

Trump promised to end endless wars—now he's bombing Yemen without Congressional approval. I stood up when Biden did it, and I’ll stand up now. I passed w/ Sen. Sanders & Sen. Lee, a historic War Powers Resolution on Yemen in 2019. No president is above the Constitution.

Ro Khanna Wants to Take On JD Vance

Ro Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley, sees the vice president — a likely heir to President Trump’s political movement — as a unique threat to the constitutional order.
