Democracy Now! speaks with Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna on the latest developments in Congress and about escalating U.S. attacks on alleged drug boats off the coast of Venezuela. "Why are we going into a regime change war when the president promised no endless wars?" he asks.
Khanna also defends New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani after Congress passed a resolution condemning the "horrors of socialism."

"What they're talking about is taxing billionaires more, which I agree with."
