We can't let corporate greed stand between Americans and healthcare. There is no reason why millions of Americans should spend 10x more on inhalers to treat their asthma than people in France, Germany, and the UK.

Analysis | Sanders targets high price of inhalers

The chairman of the Senate’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee is launching an investigation into the four largest manufacturers of inhalers in the United States, he told The Washingto...

H/T @washingtonpost.com for their excellent reporting on Project 2025.

Trump wins back antiabortion movement as activists plot 2025 crackdowns

Many activists look past the former president’s refusal to endorse a national abortion ban, focusing instead on how a future administration could restrict pills.

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

Reproductive freedom is at stake in 2024 - anti-abortion activists are currently scheming for a Trump DOJ that would outlaw receiving legal abortion pills by mail and a Trump HHS that would amp up restrictions on Mifepristone. President Biden will protect our freedoms.

Supporting a permanent ceasefire is a matter of conscience. This will be seen as a defining issue like the Iraq war.

'A Matter of Conscience': Khanna Urges Biden, Congress to Back Gaza Cease-Fire

"This is going to be seen as like the Iraq War," the California Democrat warned. "Were you for a permanent cease-fire or did you just condone Netanyahu's bombing of women and children in Gaza?"

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJan 4(source)

The Democratic Party cannot claim to be the party of the working class if we allow A.I. to erode the earnings and security of the working class. www.nytimes.com/2024/01/04/o...

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 29(source)

In just a few days, insurance deductibles will reset back to zero. People shouldn't be forced to funnel thousands of dollars to healthcare corporations before the "insurance" they already pay for kicks in. That's why we need Medicare for All.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialDec 22(source)

I'm glad to see the White House using the pardon power for good, as opposed to the corrupt, self-dealing pardons we've seen in the past. This is the right first step, but we still have a long way to go until the scales are balanced from the disastrous War on Drugs.

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

We cannot bend our rules for anyone. The Leahy Law must be the standard for any and all US aid packages.

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

It's a bad thing for America that my district has $10 trillion of company value and other districts are totally in despair.

Rep. Ro Khanna Has a Reminder for Democrats: Americans Love Money

“Maybe economics is one way of starting to unify this country,” says the congressman, often mentioned as a possible 2028 presidential candidate.

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

Today, I voted no on the nearly $1 trillion defense budget. Despite failing six straight audits, and spending nearly half their budget on legacy defense contractors, Congress approved a $886 billion annual Pentagon budget. True national security requires smart budgets, not simply big budgets.

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

Artificial intelligence offers enormous promise but also huge risks. I'm proud to have teamed up with JT McKim on an op-ed in the Union Leader to talk about the action we're taking in Congress to mitigate harm and risk - specifically for black & brown communities. www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

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

53 percent of Americans are more concerned than excited about Artificial Intelligence according to new polling from @pewresearch.org. AI represents a huge opportunity for the US to lead in the 21st century, but we have to center workers and make sure we address safety and equality of opportunity.

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

The tragedy in Maine last night marks the 565th mass shooting in the US in 2023 alone. It's painfully obvious —we need to ban assault rifles and high-capacity magazines.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJun 22(source)

The House Armed Services Committee just voted 58-1 to approve an $886 billion Pentagon budget that offers no solution to rampant price gouging from contractors. We owe it to the American people to be more responsible with their tax dollars. That's why I stood alone in voting no.

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

Every elected official should be listening to & learning from the extraordinary young people across this country. I am honored to be attending & giving the keynote address at the Young Democrats of America National Convention.

Ro Khanna@rokhanna.bsky.socialJun 7(source)

400 wildfires are burning in Canada, flights are grounded in New York due to smoke, and the air quality is so bad right now that the AQI calculator says 24 hours outdoors would be equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes. We need a #GreenNewDealForHealth and we need to act NOW.

Resuming student debt payments in the middle of an affordability crisis is unconscionable. President Biden needs to deliver on his promise to cancel student debt. Take action --> https://act.rokhanna.com/a/khanna-plan-student-debt-petition

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

We spent $475,000,000,000 to bail out big banks in 2008. We can spend $88 billion to abolish medical debt for 25% of Americans. It’s time to pass my bill to #EndMedicalDebt

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

Democrats can’t let the prospect of an unfavorable Supreme Court ruling deter us from using the 14th Amendment to raise #DebtCeiling. Instead of caving, let’s follow FDR’s example and call for bold reforms like my SCOTUS term limits bill. https://tinyurl.com/bh4kpc53

The GOP & dark money are driving our country to the brink of default in an attempt to deprive people of healthcare & food. This is an assault on the Constitution & the safety and well-being of every US resident. https://tinyurl.com/2s3fu7mu
