First, Republicans passed a budget slashing Medicaid. Now they’re refusing to hold town halls. That’s why I’m launching a “Benefits over Billionaires” tour in 3 red districts. Join me! linktr.ee/ro_khanna_to...

This is why I'm working to get PAC money completely banned in politics. There are politicians who put up more fight to receive a $5,000 PAC donation than fighting for their constituents to get healthcare and education.

@politico.com asked me about the rumor that certain lawmakers have cast votes while drunk. I'm not sure if they have or not, but here's my answer:

I have stood passionately against Trump’s cuts to Medicaid and cancer research funding and going to 3 red districts to make the case. But we can still honor a child with cancer and treat him and his family with respect. linktr.ee/ro_khanna_to...

This is a moment for Democrats to stand for the dignity of the trans community, the immigrant community, & the most vulnerable. I have always admired my assemblyman Rep Alex Lee & Charlotte Clymer doing that. www.advocate.com/politics/ro-...

WTF. Trans people and LGBTQ+ people are under attack. We don’t need our gov caving to conservative talking points that further hurt and scapegoat 1% of the population www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Private equity firms have allegedly leached billions from a New Deal-era affordable mortgage program, enriching themselves while rents skyrocket and thousands are displaced. Congress must pass my Stop Wall St Landlord Act.

🔥MUST READ: How the New Deal-era system set up to provide low-interest mortgages to working-class homebuyers is now being looted by private equity firms siphoning the cash into their investments jacking up rents, foreclosures and evictions.

"The Robin Hood principle in reverse." Your speech was better, Bernie Sanders. It gives us a blueprint. Trump didn't say a word last night about healthcare costs, Big Pharma price gouging, the housing crisis, or exploding wealth inequality. His is a government of, by, and for the elites.

Late tonight, I will deliver a response to President Trump's Congressional Address. NO to Oligarchy. NO to Authoritarianism. YES to Democracy and an economy that works for all. I hope you'll join us.

Trump just talked about balancing the budget. He is cutting $880 billion in Medicaid, firing veterans, giving tax breaks to the wealthy & adding $2.8 trillion to the deficit. Starting 3/23, I’ll be doing a “Benefits over Billionaires” tour with town halls in 3 red districts in CA.

Resistance Is Not Enough. The Left Must Address the Grievances of the Working Class.

The left’s almost singular focus on defense is a grave mistake. We must offer a compelling, positive vision of what we are for.

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

Democrats must abandon consultant approved talking points, and start advocating for transformational policies that will improve life for millions. That means $10 childcare, free public university & trade school, #MedicareForAll, and a moonshot investment in domestic manufacturing.

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

Yes!

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

Starting March 24th, I will be going to three red districts in California to speak out against DOGE’s mass firings and the Republicans’ Medicaid cuts. 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.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 3(source)

From bad trade deals to the financialization of our economy and status quo leadership, American workers have been dealt a raw deal. People are angry, and they have the right to be angry. The Dem response needs to acknowledge this and make the case for a new agenda for a new generation.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 3(source)

People want transformative change like Medicare for All, a living wage, free college and vocational education, $10 childcare, banning PAC money and Super PACs, and taxing the ultra-rich and corporate offshoring. Democrats can offer a vision to deliver the change people want and need to thrive.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 3(source)

We must outline the plan for countering Trump’s firings and benefits cuts. And also show the transformative agenda Dems will push for if we regain power. We need to deserve victory instead of counting on Trump to foot fault.
