It is morally bankrupt for insiders to be making money off a war where American service members and Iranian civilians are being killed. This is the corruption that has so many of us angry.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 31(source)

I agree with Erin Burnett that King Charles meeting privately with the survivors would be such a statement to them and the world. He can do something deeply consequential.

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

For Rep. Thomas Massie and me this has been about justice for survivors. This is not enough. But at least it's a step. Hold the Epstein class accountable.

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

What would help this 20 year old is free public college/ a good trade school and federal policies to create good jobs across America. I get it's politically easier to keep bashing immigrants or welfare cheats. The country is crying out for a more substantive vision.

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

We need a fresh, new economic vision for our time. wapo.st/4dBj1p9

Opinion | Progressive capitalism for the post-Trump era

Too many Americans have been economically left behind. Democrats, embrace inclusive prosperity.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 28(source)

The Epstein class thinks it runs America. They treat the rest of us as dispensable. We need to stand up against wars of choice & elite impunity. www.ms.now/opinion/epst...

Opinion | The Epstein class thinks it runs America. Today, No Kings protesters send their response.

Rep. Ro Khanna: For too long, Americans have seen our leaders fight harder for the Epstein class than for the working class.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 27(source)

On the 250th year anniversary of our Declaration of Independence against a king, we have a president who wants his signature on our currency & his name stamped on our institutions. We didn't trade one crown for another. Join the No Kings marches this weekend.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 26(source)

Democrats must be anti-war, anti Epstein class, pro working class. Keep it simple.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 26(source)

The DOJ's refusal to investigate the Epstein class has forced the responsibility on Congress. But this is the job of the Executive Branch, not members of Congress. @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 25(source)

@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social and I discuss the Epstein class who flout the law and write rules to benefit themselves.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 25(source)

"Khanna couldn't ask for a more perfect opportunity to burnish his credentials than a fight with billionaires." www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

The Epstein files made him a political star. Then he posted six words to social media

As he lays the groundwork for a presidential bid, Ro Khanna couldn’t ask for a more perfect opportunity to burnish his credentials than a fight with billionaires.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 24(source)

Lindsey Graham's claim that opposing funding for Iran is abandoning our troops is the same tired and wrong argument the foreign policy establishment made during Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Not again. @weeknightmsnow.bsky.social

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 23(source)

Trump needs to put aside his arrogance and hubris and end this war. The energy shock is worse than '73 & '79 combined, and the war is violating human rights law.

(Thread) Indiscriminate bombing of Iran’s power plants would violate core principles of the laws of war rooted in the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I which bind the U.S. as customary international law.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 23(source)

It is time for the President to put his ego and hubris aside and stop the escalation. Threatening war crimes is a violation of everything our nation stands for. End this dumb war that is costing Americans lives, draining our treasury, and making the world less safe.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 23(source)

This approach does not weaken hardliners. It inflicts catastrophe on ordinary Iranians, rallies support around the regime and strengthens their narrative of external aggression. The regime’s brutality is real and must be addressed but not by punishing civilians en masse.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 23(source)

Proportionality forbids attacks where expected incidental civilian harm including effects like loss of hospital power, water pumps failing, food spoilage or extreme heat or cold exposure. This is excessive compared to the concrete military gain per Article 51(5)(b).

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 23(source)

Modern electrical grids are deeply interconnected. Strikes on power lines or plants rarely stay limited & they cause blackouts affecting entire cities or regions.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 23(source)

Power infrastructure is often dual use serving both civilian life & some military functions. Under IHL Article 52 such objects can only be targeted if they make an effective contribution to military action and do not cause mass civilian harm.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialMar 23(source)

JD Vance you used to be against Middle East wars of choice. You served with a generation that saw the damage. Our nation needs you & other Republicans to step up & stop this madness. This may be the biggest foreign policy blunder of the 21st century. That is saying something.
