"appalled" but a Politico reporter tweeted 15 minutes ago that Democrats on the House Oversight Committee just moved to subpoena Elon Musk and the motion failed 19-20, with Ro Khanna "notably abstaining from the vote"

@khanna.house.gov you ain't shit

Khanna’s supporters already know they’re not being subpoenaed.

they're all talk to "look good" to the public but they are secretly pushing for Elo's agenda. duplicitous and couldn't care less for everyday people.

Texas-Call them anyway

We're calling our Reps that agree with us. We need 2B calling the ones that don't the Republicans because they're the ones whose votes can change, stop this.

You should be telling them you voted for them and you will not be voting for them & you'll be looking to oust them

Ro Khanna did not abstain. He explained on Twitter

chemborg.bsky.social•19 days ago

On Twitter.
That's where he decided to explain.

sheesh49.bsky.social•19 days ago

The vote was called without notice, you dipshit!

thepatrizia.bsky.social•19 days ago

Done

Oh, that's good to know, thank you.

Politico reporting he did know and skipped out. Scroll down https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/02/05/congress/two-dem-lawmakers-invade-house-speakers-office-in-backlash-against-musk-00202667

Except as a Democrat he should have been aware that the vote was coming. I refuse to believe that neither Khanna or his staff were made aware of the vote ahead of time.

melindawittstock.bsky.social•19 days ago

Dems, get your effing priorities straight. There is ONE priority—stopping a coup and the wholesale looting of our personal financial and health data.

jjgyet.bsky.social•19 days ago

Considering the current state of things I think, personally, I will need evidence of this being the case more than just his word.

He isnt my guy, and in a normal situation I would assume him truthful: but things are not normal right now.

angryoldgeek.bsky.social•18 days ago

Considering he has stated he would work with Musk, this statement does not ring true.

dedreamer.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yeah I did see updates on this that the head of the committee came back and said his (Kanna's) staff was there and were informed of the vote two hours in advance, so if they didn't text him he needs better staff. I wonder if I can find the post it was on Bluesky...

ralphtheewiggum.bsky.social•19 days ago

Even if they aren't your rep call and pretend who cares

knicksrip.bsky.social•19 days ago

Someone posted a tweet from him saying he and 8 other votes were not there in time because the vote was called with too short notice, and that he would have been a yes to subpoena.

lajie.bsky.social•19 days ago

Politico says his staff knew and he was told. Appears he skipped out (scroll down) https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/02/05/congress/two-dem-lawmakers-invade-house-speakers-office-in-backlash-against-musk-00202667

yerabbits.bsky.social•19 days ago

ok, so they should just plan to vote on this again with all present

tg0mez.bsky.social•19 days ago

Apparently it wasn’t Khanna’s fault but congressional Democrats need to do a better job at coordinating.

lajie.bsky.social•19 days ago

Not clear. Politico reporting everyone was told and he skipped out https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/02/05/congress/two-dem-lawmakers-invade-house-speakers-office-in-backlash-against-musk-00202667

tg0mez.bsky.social•19 days ago

Damn, that’s incredibly disappointing if true.

lajie.bsky.social•19 days ago

I haven’t seen his response to the story: “… three Democrats familiar with the run-up to the vote … said Democrats were given a heads-up about the maneuver to try to catch Republicans by surprise. …they believed Khanna knew the vote was happening and made an intentional decision to miss it.”
