Trump's actions flouted the Constitution. They will waste American resources. They violate international law and isolate us from allies like France and Germany.

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

The silence from many media-hyped 2028 contenders today is shocking. If you cannot oppose this regime change war for oil, you don't have the moral clarity or guts to lead our party or nation.

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

Trump was elected to make Americans lives better. Now he is intent on running Venezuela for some time. I want a 21st century Marshall Plan for America, not Venezuela.

‘I believe this is going to be a reckoning’: Ro Khanna, the man behind the Epstein files act, on building bipartisan wins

The California Democrat believes common ground does not only lie in the center – and has the successes to prove it

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

The times call for a movement of the American people to stand against bloated defense budgets and warmongering. We need statesmen who will heed the advice of Washington and our founders and invest in jobs, healthcare, childcare & education for our people.

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

They get us entangled in conflicts abroad, while ignoring the lack of good jobs and high costs for Americans at home. What will we say now if Xi Jinping wants to capture Lai of Taiwan or Putin tries to capture Zelensky in Ukraine?

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

Donald Trump betrayed his MAGA base today launching a war of choice to bring regime change in Venezuela. We keep voting against dumb wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, & Libya. But our Presidents bow to a foreign policy blob committed to militarism.

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

Thanks @sanders.senate.gov not for just having my back below, but the backs of all working class Americans. I was proud to co-chair your campaign in 2020. Your integrity is the reason you won CA-17 and California decisively!

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

Restoring TRUST in government is the highest priority.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

I also will work on legislation to call for a full independent audit of California's budget. I believe we can and must ask those Americans who have done well to pay more so everyone has healthcare and education. In turn, we must provide an accountable and transparent government.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

Today, I am announcing that in 2026 I will be working on a bipartisan basis on Oversight to request hearings on state governments' high risk programs, including California, that have led to illegal payments and eligibility errors.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

That is why I have opposed the bloated defense budget which has repeatedly failed an audit.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

While calling for higher taxes, FDR also decried the "tax burden caused by inefficient and extravagant local government." I have always been for accountability and taking on corruption. That is what my work with Massie on the Epstein files is all about.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

One common concern I have heard from constituents all week who have flooded my inbox is about fraud, waste, and abuse in Sacramento. I hear you.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

I can't tell you how dismissive it is to survivors when people like Mr. Khardori make insensitive comments like this. Please let him know what you think.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

These comments are a slap in the face to survivors. An email released already shows 10 co-conspirators, the survivors have named powerful men who abused them in FBI interviews that haven't been released, and there are prosecution memos that haven't been released.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 30(source)

An advocate for survivors sent this to me with utter disgust. I have never heard of Ankush Khardori. He had the gall to say tonight that ⁦Rep.Thomas Massie & I, 427 Congress members, and 100 Senators are wasting America's time because there is no cover-up.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 29(source)

Julie Brown has been tirelessly seeking the truth to expose the Epstein Class. DOJ must answer for this.
