I just got out of a meeting with 17 federal workers -- a number of them Veterans -- who Trump fired without cause. These are some of their stories. Hard-working Americans deserve better than this.

So much for building manufacturing, JD Vance⁩. You guys are literally working to kill our semiconductor industry & the Columbus Intel plant that ⁦Mike DeWine brought in a bipartisan effort. Firing all workers implementing CHIPS. MAGA or MCGA? semiwiki.com/semiconducto...

Flip-flopping every couple days about imposing blanket tariffs on our close allies on food items is causing a decline in consumer confidence and keeping inflation sticky. It’s dumb economic policy that hurts working class Americans.

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

I am reminded how I felt after @berniesanders1.bsky.social won with a staggering multiracial coalition in Nevada and how different the trajectory of our nation would have been had he been elected President in 2020.

The report suggests overpayments on social security were about 1% from 2015-2022 despite a flawed database. When will Republicans show the same passion in going after the fraud and abuse of tax evaders and cheats including multinational corporations? www.newsweek.com/social-secur...

Are people over 100 receiving Social Security benefits? What we know

Musk called the 20 million people receiving Social Security past age 100 "the biggest fraud in history."

BlueCross BlueShield does not count chemo therapy towards annual max. Sutter Hill charged $30k per treatment. So a friend with stomach cancer now has a bill of nearly $100k. He also had to wait weeks for insurance approval before chemo despite having cancer. System is broken.

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

The top 1 percent of income has grown nearly 5 times (4.47 times) more than the middle 60 percent of Americans since the 1970s. Massive income inequality hurts ordinary Americans.

Every $1 invested in NIH returns $2.46—cutting National Institute of Health research funding won’t save money; it’ll cost lives.

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

A new Journal of American Medical Association study reveals top healthcare companies raked in $2.7 trillion in profit from 2001-2021, spending 95% of it on stock buybacks and dividends to enrich CEOs and shareholders. These are the same companies that tell you #MedicareForAll is a bad idea.

We need to stand for national renewal driven not by nostalgia for some golden past or simplistic anti-system slogans, but by offering transformative solutions to deliver future prosperity for all Americans. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

Opinion | Ro Khanna: The Alternative to Trump Cannot Be a Defense of Institutions as They Are

The alternative to Trump cannot be a defense of institutions as they are.

72 million Americans rely on Medicaid. 22 million households per month rely on SNAP. These are the programs Republicans are proposing to cut. This is not about "cutting waste, fraud, and abuse." It's about slashing benefits for working-class Americans to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-rich.

BREAKING: House Republicans have released their budget resolution. They are aiming to cut Medicaid by at least $880 billion, and cut SNAP by at least 20%.

Silicon Valley Congressman Ro Khanna has emerged as a leading voice to challenge Republican leadership and defend the fiscal role of Congress.

China built 1,794 ships in 2022. The US built 5. That's not a typo! How is this not the focus of our politics --to rebuild America's industrial base?

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialFeb 12(source)

Bill Clinton reduced the federal workforce by 351,000 by working with Congress to have voluntary buyouts under Workforce Restructuring Act. The workforce grew by 2% in Trump's first term! The model for real lasting efficiency is work with Congress.

Congressman Ro Khanna on Elon Musk, JD Vance, and the Democratic Party’s strategy against Trump

The Silicon Valley representative and LGBTQ+ ally says the party needs to stand strongly behind the trans community and fight back.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialFeb 10(source)

JD Vance found time to call me “disgusting” for demanding a former DOGE staffer apologize for racist comments he made before the Trump Administration tries to rehire him. But he can't find time to answer my question -- will you make him apologize and retract his statements?
