Ro Khanna, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 17th district, shared his views on various issues through a series of tweets on March 5, 2025. The tweets address topics such as the treatment of veterans, federalism versus immigration, and support for unions.

In a tweet posted on March 5, 2025, at 14:49 UTC, Khanna expressed disapproval of "Trump/Vance's mass firing of veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan," stating that these individuals should not be judged by "some Silicon Valley standard of efficiency." He emphasized that those who have worn the uniform and are working hard should not face dismissal. "Dr. Phil's audience agreed that Trump/Vance's mass firing of veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan is simply wrong."

Later that day, at 17:49 UTC, Khanna addressed the topic of federalism in relation to local governance. He questioned whether local governments should be subject to each new president's directives concerning local police priorities. "The issue here is federalism, not immigration."

In another tweet at 21:38 UTC on the same day, Khanna highlighted his support for unions and a bill aimed at protecting workers' rights to unionize for better wages and conditions. He mentioned collaborating with Bobby Scott to ensure the bill's passage. "Believing in the American dream means supporting unions."
