The report suggests overpayments on social security were about 1% from 2015-2022 despite a flawed database. When will Republicans show the same passion in going after the fraud and abuse of tax evaders and cheats including multinational corporations? www.newsweek.com/social-secur...

Are people over 100 receiving Social Security benefits? What we know

Musk called the 20 million people receiving Social Security past age 100 "the biggest fraud in history."

BlueCross BlueShield does not count chemo therapy towards annual max. Sutter Hill charged $30k per treatment. So a friend with stomach cancer now has a bill of nearly $100k. He also had to wait weeks for insurance approval before chemo despite having cancer. System is broken.

The top 1 percent of income has grown nearly 5 times (4.47 times) more than the middle 60 percent of Americans since the 1970s. Massive income inequality hurts ordinary Americans.

Every $1 invested in NIH returns $2.46—cutting National Institute of Health research funding won’t save money; it’ll cost lives.

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

A new Journal of American Medical Association study reveals top healthcare companies raked in $2.7 trillion in profit from 2001-2021, spending 95% of it on stock buybacks and dividends to enrich CEOs and shareholders. These are the same companies that tell you #MedicareForAll is a bad idea.

We need to stand for national renewal driven not by nostalgia for some golden past or simplistic anti-system slogans, but by offering transformative solutions to deliver future prosperity for all Americans. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

Opinion | Ro Khanna: The Alternative to Trump Cannot Be a Defense of Institutions as They Are

The alternative to Trump cannot be a defense of institutions as they are.

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

72 million Americans rely on Medicaid. 22 million households per month rely on SNAP. These are the programs Republicans are proposing to cut. This is not about "cutting waste, fraud, and abuse." It's about slashing benefits for working-class Americans to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-rich.

BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

A Californian has gotten under the Trump team’s skin. Civility is a powerful weapon | Opinion

Silicon Valley Congressman Ro Khanna has emerged as a leading voice to challenge Republican leadership and defend the fiscal role of Congress.

China built 1,794 ships in 2022. The US built 5. That's not a typo! How is this not the focus of our politics --to rebuild America's industrial base?

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

Bill Clinton reduced the federal workforce by 351,000 by working with Congress to have voluntary buyouts under Workforce Restructuring Act. The workforce grew by 2% in Trump's first term! The model for real lasting efficiency is work with Congress.

Congressman Ro Khanna on Elon Musk, JD Vance, and the Democratic Party’s strategy against Trump

The Silicon Valley representative and LGBTQ+ ally says the party needs to stand strongly behind the trans community and fight back.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialFeb 10(source)

JD Vance found time to call me “disgusting” for demanding a former DOGE staffer apologize for racist comments he made before the Trump Administration tries to rehire him. But he can't find time to answer my question -- will you make him apologize and retract his statements?

I just wrapped up a hit on Piers Morgan's show and want to give a shoutout to @rokhanna.bsky.social, who was on as well. We need more Democrats willing to step into hostile territory and engage with new audiences. Glad to see him join the show!

Rep. @rokhanna.bsky.social responds to Elon Musk’s not-so-polite response after he asked the unelected billionaire to come before Congress to explain his and DOGE's government actions.

I grew up in Philly. On my street were electricians, HVAC technicians, nurses, teachers, and business executives. We shared a lot in common & one huge thing: rooting for the Eagles. Good luck to my Philly friends and family this weekend.

My hot take is that Saquon Barkley will have a statue next to Rocky at the Philadelphia Art Museum after tomorrow.
