Horrific mass shooting at Brown. Thinking of the victims and their families. We simply do not have to live this way. The failure to pass gun safety legislation is a moral stain & innocent Americans pay the price time and again.

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

The targeted terrorist attack on Jewish Americans in Australia on the first day of Hanukkah is appalling and sickening. Thinking of the victims and their families.

The Epstein Class has to go. My bill legally requires DOJ to release the files in 7 days by December 19th. Any attempts to scrub, coverup, or conceal the truth is subject to prosecution.

🚨 BREAKING: Oversight Dems received 95,000 new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. These disturbing images raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. Time to end this White House cover-up. Release the files!

Feeling incredibly grateful and energized. I’m deeply honored to receive the endorsement of Congressman @rokhanna.bsky.social — a true champion for working families, a visionary on economic populism, and a courageous voice against the military-industrial complex and endless wars.

l crossed the river to Canada to get some neighborly advice on how to deal with the medical debt that 100 million Americans hold. What I heard will SHOCK you.

While we’re killing unarmed men on boats in the Caribbean & shipping our top GPUs to China, ⁦Rubio⁩ is making State docs harder for dyslexic & low-vision diplomats to read, overturning Blinken to "own the libs." You cannot make this up. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/u...

At State Dept., a Typeface Falls Victim in the War Against Woke

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

Yes, Democrats oppose regime change war in Venezuela. Instead of wasting trillions on endless wars, we must invest in jobs, healthcare, and housing for Americans. Why is this hard? We need a new generation to lead our party with moral clarity and conviction.

Chuck Schumer won't say if he opposes regime change in Venezuela. JAKE TAPPER: Do you disagree with President Trump's ultimate goal of regime change in Venezuela? CHUCK SCHUMER: President Trump throws out so many different things in so many different ways, you don't even know what the heck ...

Babies born in America are born equal citizens. Read the history of the 14th Amendment. As Akhil Amar has shown, Congress explicitly understood at the time that even those born in America to parents not legally present were citizens.

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

It’s Citizens United on steroids. If you’re an economic populist, you can’t cheer this unholy alliance of wealth and power, no matter who is in the White House.

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

Big companies could, in turn, pour millions into his White House Ballroom fund or campaigns he supports. This is unchecked corporate power over civil servants.

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

The Supreme Court on Monday hears a case to decide if a president can fire FTC, NLRB, or agency leaders at will. If Trump wins, he could force the FTC to approve the Netflix merger. He could fire the NLRB chair if they don’t stop union drives at Amazon.

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

The idea that immigrants weren't key to America's success is absurd. Immigrants from Italy, Germany, Hungary fueled the Manhattan Project in WWII. The Irish helped build the arsenal of democracy. Immigrants from Hungary, India, Taiwan, China built semiconductors & kept comms secure during Cold War.

This is not the time for politicians to cave. We must stand up for the contributions immigrants make to America.

Every photo, email, and FBI interview must be released (while protecting victims). The deadline to release the files under my & Rep. Thomas Massie's bill is in 16 days. I have always said what will come out will shock the conscience of our nation.

My response to AIPAC launching ads to take me down.

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

As a senior leader on HASC, I am calling on Pete Hegseth and Admiral Bradley to testify and explain their actions to the nation. We need a bipartisan, national hearing.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 1(source)

We did just pass my bill to release the Epstein files 427-1 in the House and 100-0 in the Senate.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 1(source)

We the people need a constitutional amendment to abolish the pardon power.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 1(source)

AIPAC is spending in my district. They are asking people to disbelieve what they saw with their own eyes. Politicians who cave to special interests on Gaza won't stand up against DC corruption or for working Americans. This is a moral test for anyone who wants to lead our party.
