Ro Khanna, a U.S. Congressman representing California's 17th district since 2017, has been vocal on social media about pressing issues affecting American communities. His recent tweets highlight concerns over healthcare, childcare costs, and economic policies impacting working families.

On March 25, 2025, Khanna addressed the issue of rural hospital closures. He stated that "Nearly 200 rural hospitals have closed since 2005. Slashing $880 billion from Medicaid will increase rural hospitals' risk of closure by over 50%." He advocated for Medicare for All to prevent Americans from losing their healthcare.

Later that day, Khanna turned his attention to childcare expenses in states like New York. He tweeted that "In states like New York, it would cost a low-wage worker more than half a year of full-time pay to cover the annual cost of infant care." He called for reforms to make childcare affordable and ensure fair wages for workers.

On March 26, 2025, Khanna expressed support for fellow Democrat Rep. Deluzio's stance on prioritizing working families. He emphasized the need to focus on economic issues affecting households and address the consequences of offshoring on American communities: ".@RepDeluzio has it right. Democrats need to put working families first."
