Happy to have my friend, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, joining my “BenefitsOverBillionaires” town hall in Anaheim. RSVP for Bakersfield, Norco & Anaheim events here—> linktr.ee/ro_khanna_to...

The GOP is out to gut Medicaid, Social Security and Medicare. We must prevent the elite from dismantling our government. Join me this weekend for one of our “Benefits over Billionaires” town halls in red districts. Make your voice heard. linktr.ee/ro_khanna_to...

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

I represent a district with $12 trillion of value. I'm proud of economic success and innovators. But if the ultra-wealthy have to pay a little more so we don't get drastic cuts to Medicaid, fired veterans, and can have Medicare for All - that is the patriotic thing to do.

All, Ro spoke to a group of us of the Wake County Democratic Party in North Carolina. Articulate. A master of the issues. Honest. I’m glad he’s going to where the Republicans are. It’s what we need. Please listen. #California #SiliconValley #VoteBlue

If GOP lawmakers won't talk to voters about DOGE’s Medicaid cuts and Trump’s mass firings, I will. That’s why I’m hosting three Benefits Over Billionaires town halls in California to speak directly with voters betrayed by this administration. RSVP: linktr.ee/ro_khanna_to...

Benefits Over Billionaires Town Hall! Too many Democrats won’t fight in tough districts. We’re done waiting. @rokhanna.bsky.social, who stood with Bernie to take on billionaires, is going straight into Republican strongholds. Join us 3/23 in Bakersfield/Anaheim/Norco #BenefitsOverBillionaires

When the Senate Minority Leader sells you out, the only option is to take back the party & country with grassroots activists in blue and red disricts to stand up for the Constitution and our democracy.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 14(source)

Democrats unwillingness to stand up for Congress's constitutional right to prevent Trump from unilaterally shutting down social security offices or firing veterans is craven. If we’re afraid of blame, we need to get better at persuasion—not rolling over.

If Republicans won't listen to voters in town halls, we will. That's why I'm hosting 3 "Benefits Over Billionaires" town halls with local leaders in Bakersfield, Anaheim and Norco, CA on 3/23. Thanks, @maddow.msnbc.com for sharing! RSVP to join: linktr.ee/ro_khanna_to...

You said "there is no security if you are afraid of the voices, the opinions, & the conscience that guide your very own people." Yes you view a student on a green card as a national security threat.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 12(source)

You also said that Russian state interference was not a huge deal b/c if your democracy can be destroyed by a $100,000 of ads "it wasn't very strong to begin with." Yet you are afraid of the protests of a green card holder.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 12(source)

JD Vance just lectured Europe that in DC, "there is a new sheriff in town, & under Trump's leadership we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it in the public square agree or disagree." Did Mr. Homan not get the memo?

Dismantling the IRS will explode the federal deficit, not reduce it. Every dollar the agency spends returns $5 - $12 in revenue. This is all about giving the ultra-rich an even greater advantage over the working class.

The Trump-Musk Regime is reportedly planning to cut as much as 50% of the IRS workforce. Make no mistake: this will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163 billion a year. Hello?

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 12(source)

I oppose vandalism. It is wrong to light fire to people's cars or spray paint "nazi car." That is how I was raised, and I will not back away from right or wrong to score political points. I have supported Bernie twice and am one of the loudest voices standing up to Elon: prospect.org/politics/202...

How I Am Standing Up to DOGE

The California congressman explains why the upheaval of federal agencies is ineffective and a pretext for tax cuts for the rich.

Here's Trump's economic record so far: Unemployment up, inflation up, consumer confidence down, 401ks down. Risk of stagflation.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 11(source)

Inflation up, unemployment up, consumer confidence down. Trump Team says "short term adjustments." Sounds like "transitory."
