@lawrenceodonnelljr.bsky.social was gracious to say I made history with the Epstein Transparency Act passing. But the survivors made history. And Rep. Thomas Massie and I showed that Congress does not have to be a supplicant to Trump, but is a co-equal branch of government. Trump caved.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialNov 19(source)

The vote was 427-1. That's a margin typically reserved for post office namings, not what @isaacdovere.bsky.social writes is "perhaps the biggest defeat of Trump's second term" that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said "ripped MAGA apart." Here's the backstory of how Rep. Thomas Massie and I did it.

NEW - I spent yesterday with Ro Khanna, as *his bill* passed for the Epstein files release. He explained how he did it, and what that means: “On one of the biggest things, which is getting MAGA on board, it’s not just ideas. I’m able to get things done.” www.cnn.com/2025/11/19/p...

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialNov 19(source)

Against all odds, the survivors kept fighting. This victory is theirs.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialNov 19(source)

Ultimately, it was a surrender to justice. But it shows that you can get Donald Trump to come to your side as opposed to having to cave to his side. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/o...

Opinion | The Democrat Who Split MAGA Over the Epstein Files

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialNov 19(source)

The Senate has with unanimous consent agreed to pass H.R. 4405, my bill with Rep. Thomas Massie, as soon as it gets there in the morning. It then heads to Donald Trump's desk. He should have the survivors who made this possible at the bill's signing.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialNov 18(source)

427-1 is a landslide for survivors. The Senate should pass my and Rep. Thomas Massie bill quickly and send it to Trump’s desk.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialNov 18(source)

There now is a possibility of a massive realignment in American politics that restores us to a grass roots movement that fights for the working class.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialNov 18(source)

@briantylercohen.bsky.social, the Epstein class needs to go. We are seeing the clearing of the governing elite & those who have held onto power for too long in a system that has become rotten.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialNov 18(source)

"A source who advised Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign snipped of Khanna, 'You cannot spell rookie without ‘Ro." If calling for new leadership and change makes me a rookie, then maybe we need more rookies in American politics! nypost.com/2025/11/16/u...

Tomorrow is the first reckoning for the Epstein Class. And it will not be the last.

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

Brilliant explanation by @meidastouch.com about why working in coalition and winning over former MAGA supporters on an anti corruption agenda is a path back for Democrats, and how the Epstein files issue has opened a path to do so.

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

This isn’t about politics. It’s about justice for the brave survivors. It doesn’t matter who is in the files. Democrat, Republican, friend, or rival. Every member of Congress will be put on record this week when we vote on Rep. Thomas Massie and my bill.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

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

Glad to see Donald Trump's complete & total endorsement of my bill with Rep. Thomas Massie I believe that by standing for principle, Americans will have your back & the mightiest will see the way. This is how we start to heal the chasm in our nation. Release the Epstein files!

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

Forgotten Americans or the Epstein class? Whose side are you on? It is that simple. I believe many Republicans on Tuesday will stand with Rep. Thomas Massie, Rep. Majorie Tayloe Greene, & me and demand that the Epstein class go.

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

How can you be America First when the British are beating us to the punch on holding the Epstein class accountable?

Ro Khanna: "He's sowing the seeds for his own lame duck presidency. He's out of touch with his own base. Don't ask me, just look at Rasmussen, People's Pundit. All these people that were on his side are saying, 'Mr President, what happened to you?'"

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialNov 16(source)

The Epstein class needs to go. Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene are standing on Tuesday with survivors. The vote is standing with forgotten Americans or the Epstein class.

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

Rep. Don Bacon and I introduced a bill to repeal coffee tariffs. Many Americans and coffee shop owners mobilized to support it. Trump today repealed the coffee tariffs. Citizen activism works.

The Epstein class needs to go.
