Good afternoon. I would like to provide you with a few updates about recent developments in Congress and share some important information.
INVEST Act Passes the House
Today, the INVEST in America Act passed the House, which includes six of our CA-17 community projects. The bill provides funding for various transportation and infrastructure programs within the Department of Transportation.
A new bipartisan cybersecurity measure, headed for the House floor, would allow experts to rotate through different federal agencies in order to create a consistent attack response across government, Rep. Ro Khanna told CNBC on Wednesday.
It's supposed to attract "the best talent" into the federal government, the California Democrat said on "Squawk Box," appearing with fellow co-author of the bill Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace.
Washington, DC – Today, Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) issued the below statement following the committee passage of their bill , the Federal Rotational Cyber Workforce Program Act, to bolster America's cybersecurity capabilities and meet the heightened threats in the digital age.
The Oversight Committee sent a bill that would create a federal rotational program for private sector cybersecurity experts to the House floor Tuesday.
An identical version of the Federal Rotational Cyber Workforce Program Act is working its way through the Senate, after being reintroduced there and in the House in April and May respectively.
If created, the rotational program would allow senior tech industry workers to ply their trade for the U.S. government for a set period, before returning to their original or a similar role in the private sector.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) told Hill.TV's "Rising" how progressives plan to secure climate provisions should an infrastructure proposal be split into two bills.
California Democrat Ro Khanna wants Facebook Inc. to unwind its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp -- two of its biggest deals in the past decade -- as he called for more aggressive antitrust enforcement and privacy regulations.
"It seems to me we would be better off if they were multiple platforms," Khanna, who represents part of Silicon Valley in Congress and sits on the House Oversight Committee, said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Monday. "I don't think that merger should have been approved in the first place," he said, referring to Facebook's takeover of Instagram.
Washington, DC – On June 8, 2021, Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA), Congressional Progressive Caucus Deputy Whip and lead House sponsor of the Endless Frontier Act, released this statement following the successful passage of the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act in the Senate:
Washington, DC – Today, Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA), Congressional Progressive Caucus Deputy Whip and Member of the House Committee on Oversight, reintroduced the State-Based Universal Health Care Act. Recognizing the unique position of American states to lead the push for universal health care, Rep. Khanna's bill provides states with historic access to federal funding streams and regulatory flexibility necessary to implement and support affordable, universal health care plans.
Senate Democrats and Republicans today are expected to overwhelmingly pass a $247 billion spending package focused on competing with China on technology.
Axios Re:Cap is joined by California Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna, who cosponsored the bill and who has been concerned about the issue since he first campaigned for office.
The Senate on Tuesday passed a landmark tech investment bill co-authored by South Bay Rep. Ro Khanna, a significant feat that puts pressure on the House to follow suit.
Khanna's Endless Frontier Act, which will invest massively in innovative research and development, passed as part of the broader U.S. Innovation and Competition Act, a collection of bills designed to boost the American tech sector and keep the nation competitive on the world stage amid rising Chinese influence. Khanna helped write the bipartisan bill and sponsors its counterpart in the House.
