Ro Khanna, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 17th district, has expressed his views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets. Known for his advocacy in healthcare and foreign policy, Khanna has made notable statements regarding insurance claims, the Ukraine conflict, and Republican fiscal policies.

On February 19, 2025, Khanna highlighted the issue of insurance claim denials by insurers. He stated that "Insurers deny nearly 850 million insurance claims per year, forcing many to pay out of pocket or skip care." He further criticized what he described as "Big Insurance" for its impact on Americans and called for the passage of Medicare for All to ensure affordability and access to necessary care.

Later that day, Khanna addressed comments made by former President Trump regarding the Ukraine war. In a tweet posted at 16:04 UTC, he mentioned his long-standing call for peaceful negotiations while condemning Trump's remarks. He tweeted: "I have been calling for a peaceful negotiation to end the Ukraine war for years... But Trump saying Ukraine is to blame for the war is appallingly wrong and appeasement."

On February 20, 2025, Khanna criticized Republican plans related to healthcare funding. At 15:00 UTC, he argued against proposals that would affect low-income families' access to healthcare in favor of extending tax cuts from 2017. He tweeted: "Republicans are willing to rip away healthcare from 20 million low-income families to pay for an extension of the 2017 tax cuts that benefit the wealthiest Americans."
