Saikat Chakrabarti for Congress
@saikatc
Running for Congress to represent San Francisco. No corporate or lobbyist money. Past: CoS to AOC, Dir. Tech @ Bernie, founding engineer @stripe.
Allow me to reintroduce myself: my name’s Saikat Chakrabarti and I’m running for Congress against Nancy Pelosi. Here’s a quick campaign update.
We have been getting so much support recently, and I just want to say thank you, to all of you. It’s going to take all of us to win this thing, so any support is appreciated. We are having our office opening party on July 29th, and I want to see you there! Go on my website,…
NEW: I spoke to @saikatc - @AOC’s former chief of staff - about his quest to unseat Nancy Pelosi from CA’s 11th district. We talk “abundance,” why Big Tech moved right, Pelosi’s self dealing, how defeating her is even electorally possible and more. Link in next tweet👇👇👇👇
She has one of the strongest pro-Palestinian voting records in Congress. It’s fair to debate strategy and disagreement over specific choices--but vandalizing her office and saying @AOC “funds genocide” isn’t just wrong. It’s reckless, dishonest, misleading, and deeply unserious.…
.@AOC’s Bronx HQ was redecorated with red paint tonite by a group called the Boogie Down Liberation Front. The group denounced AOC’s vote to fund Israel & the genocide in Gaza & also called out how politicians (like AOC & Ritchie Torres) use the Bronx to further their careers.
We need new leaders in the Democratic party who will support working class policies. Which is why I am running on universal healthcare, addressing the affordability crisis, and implementing a wealth tax on the rich.
Day after day after day, starving Palestinians trying to get food are slaughtered by Israeli troops. Then Israel announces some fake investigation that never leads to accountability or changes, and the dumbest people on this website blame anyone but the people in charge.
Breaking News: Israeli troops killed more than 60 Palestinians after crowds gathered near a border crossing where aid trucks enter, Gaza officials said. nyti.ms/3GRuuTp
American taxpayers are paying for this. There is absolutely no argument to continue funding this. This is not war. This is a genocide.
Israel is shooting starving Palestinians who show up at its food distribution sites in Gaza and not even bothering to offer an explanation. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
This is our chance to send a bold, fearless leader to Congress— someone who will fight for working people and never back down. Let’s make it happen. #CA12 #SF #SanFrancisco #GreenNewDeal blueamerica.crooksandliars.com/2025/03/12/end…
Democrats including Nancy Pelosi just voted with Republicans to pass the GENIUS Act, which specifically does not prohibit Trump from profiting off of stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency. This is especially egregious when Trump is already using his position as President to…

This is a bill Democrats had the power to stop. But 18 Senate Democrats and over 100 House Democrats, including my opponent Nancy Pelosi, joined Republicans to vote for it because this was a crypto industry priority. Nancy Pelosi just enabled Trump’s corruption.
The GENIUS Act explicitly bars members of Congress and federal officials from profiting off stablecoins but EXEMPTS the president, vice president, and their families. This carve-out allows Trump to leverage his position for personal gain without conflict-of-interest barriers.
Incredible! Congrats @OmarFatehMN!
I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us. fatehformayor.com/donate
Zohran backed City of Yes, the housing plan backed by Yimbys there. Omar Fateh, the progressive who may be the next mayor of Minneapolis, backed Minneapolis 2040, the housing plan backed by Yimbys there. It’s possible to agree with Yimbys while still being committed to universal…
A big reason Zohran won was he pushed for strong universal programs while ALSO talking about counterproductive red tape and bureaucracy (see his halal cart video or his video on small business fees). These issues are real challenges people face, and progressives shouldn’t be…
If they asked the right questions, the answer would be that everyone in Democratic Party leadership should step down. That’s what happens in most countries when a party loses. Autopsies won’t fix the Democratic Party. Only primary challenges will.
After 2016, Dems refused to do an audit. And now the 2024 “autopsy” won’t even ask the hard questions. WEAK WEAK WEAK nytimes.com/2025/07/19/us/… via @NYTimes
Not enough. They keep trying to release nonsense to avoid releasing the actual list.
President Trump—we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.
I just got this text at the same time that Democrats decided to give up on fighting against defunding NPR (which the rescissions package does). Spamming people to raise money while they roll over is probably hurting Democrats more than they think.
New: Democrats are largely shrugging off the idea of trying to delay a House vote on the rescissions package until after the Friday deadline. They think the admin would probably just ignore or side-step it anyway, sources told @Axios axios.com/2025/07/17/npr…
Trump’s base is cracking over Epstein. A discharge petition is live in the House. Enough R's are on. If Dems sign it, the Epstein files get released. Trump’s panicking. Calling his own people “weaklings.” Democrats have rare power. Ask your congress person to sign the…
