A new economic patriotism. Let’s make it here. Invent it, produce it, & buy it in America. Trade surplus again. Pro worker & family. Dignity in a Digital Age
is smart to go on the right venues at Fox to bring the liberal perspective to that audience. Some may even learn something, some, as below, may even change their minds.
Our trade deficit with China has cost the US 3.7 million manufacturing jobs between 2001 & 2018. By investing in American-made products and small manufacturers, we’ll rebuild our economy and create good-paying jobs.
Women still ONLY make 82 cents to every dollar a man makes. Mothers on average make less than men in part because they work fewer hours due to childcare. Providing quality childcare for $10 a day opens opportunities for women.
My mod conservative dad has become a fan of Ro after seeing him on Fox the last few months. And I think he’ll vote for Biden in 24 bc of Ro’s advocacy for the return of manufacturing and highlighting the passed legislation to achieve that like the CHIPs & Science Act.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make. Tens of thousands of food-insecure kids will benefit.
Please consider the way Ro Khanna tweets and communicates. I was a Republican until recently and he is a democrat that can appeal to moderates/independents and democrats. I want the GOP to lose their Florida supermajority in 2024. Dem Messaging is critical
Yet another reason why we need Congress to pass my bill to set term limits on Supreme Court Justices.
We need to set 18-year terms and limit presidents to two appointments per term.
Breyer suggests he’d be open to supporting Supreme Court term limits, as long as it’s a “long tenure.”
Mentions 18-20 years as a possibly suitable term length for justices.
Offshoring is a race to the bottom. It hurts American workers and our communities. Not only are jobs being shipped overseas, but companies are also avoiding taxes. We need to invent it, make it & buy it in America.
One solution to the labor shortage in the US: guarantee access to quality childcare for every family and provide it at $10 a day while paying childcare workers a living wage.
about the upcoming NCAA Wrestling Championships. I'm rooting for the Nittany Lions, just like I often did growing up.
Good luck to everyone competing. Go Lions! #PSUwr
I have in 7 years in Congress never had a journalist writing about me turn down my request to speak to them. Certainly not American prospect! You said “that will not be necessary.” Perhaps would have understand my perspective if had engaged —something I am always willing to do!
I asked @RoKhanna why he's fundraising with VCs after the Silicon Valley Bank fallout and he gave me a strange response about why it's actually good for goals like Medicare for All?
Okay, man.

The cost of wind and solar energy has already dropped 70% and 90%, respectively, over the past decade. By investing in green energy, we’re investing in our own future.

"I put most of the blame on the bank management. I mean, they didn't hedge those long-term bonds. They were vulnerable to very large deposit holders," says
Medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy in the US, with 2/3 of bankruptcies being caused by medical bills. #MedicareForAll will save lives and shore up our economy.
Terrific read! Brilliant analogy of the red, yellow, & green traffic lights for the Dem party. I believe an agenda to boost production, decentralize tech to places left out, and invest in health & education can unify not only our party but our country. Pro dignity and pro growth!
I’ve got a new essay out on @RoKhanna and a chart on urban-rural divides that drives a lot of my political economy thinking.
If you’re interested in America’s urban-rural challenges, manufacturing, automation, and populism, I think you’ll like it.

This is hilarious! I didn’t know I was giving Sunak a run for his money in US name ID. @CongressmanRaja I’m moving up in the world, buddy! twitter.com/chase_e2/statu…
With the current Social Security cap, a single mom working two waitressing jobs pays the same amount into Social Security as a hedge-fund billionaire. Let’s scrap the cap and expand Social Security benefits.
Republicans want you to believe their nonsense that "diversity" and "wokeness" are to blame for the SVB collapse. They don't want you to know the plain truth: their gutting of Dodd-Frank in 2018 loosened the stress test regulations which would've averted this crisis specifically.
Solving America's energy needs for the 21st century starts with a moonshot investment in renewable energy not carving up Alaska's wild lands for Big Oil profiteers.
Women of color are hit hardest by the gender pay gap. Black women earn only 63 cents and Latina women only 58 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. Closing the pay gap is an issue of gender, race, and workers’ justice.
- at BridgeUSA we believe that constructive dialogue is KEY to upholding our democracy and pushing forward better solutions.
We’d love to host a discussion between you two! 😄
Politics is about addition & persuasion. David & I have disagreements but we find common ground on cutting bloated defense spending, opposing the Yemen war, 1st Amend. Having core convictions but engaging with those who see the world differently is so needed in our nation. twitter.com/DavidSacks/sta…
Given the Credit Suisse situation, the SEC should stop hedge funds from buying credit default swaps without owning the underlying credit and stop naked short selling of bank stocks without owning the assets. In 2008, we temporarily stopped this predatory behavior.
I came to respect @RoKhanna when he supported free speech in the Twitter Files and endorsed a diplomatic track on Ukraine in parallel with military funding. It’s a sad statement that both of us are being attacked by our respective “sides” for seeking to find common ground. I… twitter.com/RoKhanna/statu…Show more
#CitizensUnited paved the way for big money to flood our political system. Shockingly, just 25 wealthy donors have contributed almost half of all super PAC funds since 2010. Democracy Dollars could put power back in the hands of the people.
If we progressives want to get Medicare for All passed, we do it by making the case. I believe we can argue that it is pro economic growth and just in a free enterprise system. Let’s have those convo with people like David w/out compromising convictions.

I think every American should have health care. The best way to get there is something I would need to research. I have not purported to be an expert on this topic.
Ok this is clever :) Not saying I agree but you were losing your humor and the criticism a bit stale. Glad it’s back. Not at British Parliament level yet or French ridicule but you have time to keep upping your game!
