I am not worried for my physical safety, honestly. The truth is more nuanced. Big money tries to destroy a person's career & reputation. In Washington, you rise by keeping your head down and not making enemies. Massie & I are unafraid to challenge power.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialFeb 17(source)

Rep. Thomas Massie & I called on DOJ to stop protecting this man & underact his name. They relented. Then I took to the House floor to name names. Today, he resigns. We will not rest until there is elite accountability for the Epstein class.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialFeb 15(source)

@ezraklein.bsky.social writes about the "class solidarity" of the Epstein class & @anandwrites.bsky.social says modern courage is taking them on & being willing to burn the bridge. Rep. Massie & I are fighting to hold the Epstein class accountable. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/15/o...

Opinion | What Ro Khanna Learned From the Epstein Files

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

This weekend the world's leaders will gather together for the Munich Security Conference. I am calling on them to hold the Epstein Class accountable, including those in their own governments.

If in Norway the princess no longer has the support to be Queen, and if in the UK King Charles is now calling for a criminal investigation into his own brother, then surely in the United States of America, Howard Lutnick must resign!

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

When @joe-scarborough.bsky.social calls for accountability of the "epstein class," you know that it's an emotionally powerful phrase that speaks to the two tiers of justice in America.

@rokhanna.bsky.social: I was in Ghislaine Maxwell’s deposition today. It was shameful. She basically said other powerful people committed these crimes but she won’t name them unless she’s granted clemency. She needs to be sent back to a maximum security prison immediately.

@rokhanna.bsky.social: There is information in the Epstein files about senior business officials not yet public. Survivors I’ve talked to have implicated current government officials. No one thought we’d get the files released, but we did. And we’ll continue fighting for the other 50%.

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

After Rep. Massie & I flagged to the DOJ that they had redacted the names of six men who were allegedly incorrectly accused of crimes, they have now unredacted the identities of those men and some women. The problem remains that the files the DOJ received were scrubbed by the FBI in March.

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

Here is my conclusion after sitting through Maxwell's deposition with her refusing to answer a single question about the men who raped underage girls, saying she would only do so for clemency. She must immediately be sent back to the maximum security prison where she belongs.

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

The survivors standing in front of the Capitol twice is why Rep. Thomas Massie & I were able to pass the Epstein Transparency Act. Tomorrow, Massie and I will go together to DOJ to see the unredacted files. We will not rest until the Epstein class is brought to justice.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialFeb 7(source)

These students in Nevada stayed up waiting all night for a full release of the Epstein Files. Rep. Thomas Massie and I will not stop fighting until the rich and powerful men involved face consequences.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialFeb 7(source)

Lee Hamilton was one of the giants. A few days before he passed he penned this piece about Rep. Thomas Massie & my friendship. Yes, we are friends. Yes, we need more of that across the aisle. I hope America reads this. indianacitizen.org/hamilton-com...

Hamilton Commentary: Congress needs more friendships - THE INDIANA CITIZEN

Lee Hamilton represented Indiana's 9th Congressional District from 1965-1999 in the U.S. House of Representatives. He died Feb. 4 in Bloomington at the age of 94. By Lee Hamilton January 27, 2026 I kn...

Britain has dethroned a prince, forced Mandelson to resign, & lost confidence in Starmer because Rep. Thomas Massie & I forced the release of the Epstein files. What is America doing to hold the Epstein class accountable? We need to haul these powerful men before Congress.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialFeb 6(source)

House Oversight needs to create a committee to haul in everyone who emailed Epstein about abusing young girls.

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

JD Vance you said not to "suppress every masculine urge” & not to “cast aside everything that makes you a man.” For me, that means standing up to powerful men who abused young girls. It means respecting moms, wives, daughters and sisters. Stand up to the Epstein class.

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

Many lectured Brad Karp & Paul Weiss about caving to Trump. Rep. Thomas Massie & I passed a law that exposed him and took him down. The times call for more than gimmicks and lectures. We need action to hold the elites accountable.

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

And they told Rep. Thomas Massie and me this was a hoax and conspiracy when we risked our reputations and careers to pursue the release of the files.
