I stopped at Medgar Evers’ home in Mississippi. The Trump admin is trying to erase Evers' history. By dishonoring him, we're erasing Black history.
I’m tired of politicians scapegoating immigrants and treating them like political pawns. Hear these stories and try to tell me the system is working. It isn’t.
Our party hungers for moral leadership. Let us oppose military aid used to kill civilians to Israel during a mass starvation & recognize a Palestinian state. Let us stand up for the rights of immigrants. Let us not abandon trans kids. It is time to stand for human dignity.
In August 2019, when Bernie was here, over 350 turned out to see him. Tonight, about 600 people turned out to join us at our town hall in Las Vegas. The progressive movement that Bernie seeded only grows stronger.
I will not be intimidated. You don't know me or my grandfather. "Khanna...whose district has significant Israeli Americans.. could face significant backlash from the Bay Area Jewish community...Ro Khanna has disappointed many,"' warned Tali Kilma. jweekly.com/2025/08/01/r...
Someone leaked our effort to try to sabotage it. Sad. It won't work. Recognizing a Palestinian state is an idea whose time has come. The response of my colleagues has been overwhelming. We will build support and release prior to the UN convening. jewishinsider.com/2025/07/ro-k...
We need a rebirth of the Democratic party. We need to be a new populist party. That is why I am pushing so hard for the full release of the Epstein files. The question is: whose side are you on?
Democrats could learn from Sheinbaum. She doesn't hide from the media. She speaks to the press every morning. She is focused on a Mexico Plan for growth, jobs, and the security of her country. She spoke out clearly on Gaza and human rights.
We spoke about the need for worker-centered policies. This means building manufacturing capacity. It means increasing the minimum wage. It means expanding Social Security. It means attracting investment for new jobs and preparing people for the AI economy.
Rep. Don Bacon and I are committed to helping resolve the trade dispute. The tomato tariffs are irrational and hurting Sinaloa. If we hurt Mexican tomato farmers, we are helping cartels in that state. Plus, we are hurting $8 billion in American retail revenue on tomatoes and consumers.
We spoke about the need for a rational immigration policy. She was committed to policies that would integrate migrants into Mexico's economy. We need to have legalization for those Mexican immigrants who are here working hard and paying taxes.
We spoke about the importance of investment in security. She has a zero-tolerance policy for the cartels and is going after them aggressively.
Thread: I had the honor of meeting President Sheinbaum for 30 minutes. She was extremely impressive. I share her commitment to a progressive politics that is pro-jobs, pro-wage, and pro-innovation. Sheinbaum gets the importance of AI and digitization for Mexico.
It seems like Trump, like George W, wants to privatize social security. If they win again in 2026, there is no doubt they will go for it. Democrats must win back the House in 2026 to save social security.
Treasury Secretary Bessent on 'Trump Accounts': "It is a backdoor for privatizing Social Security....That's a game changer."
President Claudia Sheinbaum is the most consequential progressive world leader. Look forward to mtg today. I share your belief that hard-working Mexican immigrants in the US need the chance to work legally-- helping both of our nations. I also support social investments for our working class.
This is the time to vocally support @ramirez.house.gov Stop the Bombs Act. No Democrat who wants to lead our party should be for providing Netanyahu with offensive weapons while he is complicit in a mass man-made starvation. I am proud to join as a co sponsor.
There has to be a total mindset change in the Democratic party. When the war ends, we are not going back to the pre-October 7 status quo.
