Donald Trump spent part of his Sunday blasting Fox News for letting a Democrat on television, which is the kind of content that keeps the timeline moving. The target was Ro Khanna, California Democrat, who apparently said things on Fox that irritated the president enough to post about it. But while everyone's watching the media cage match, the public filings on Khanna contain a data point worth a second look: a purchase of Rogers Communications stock on March 24, 2026, two days before Khanna voted Nay on a House resolution expressing support for the Department of Homeland Security. The resolution passed 225-187. Rogers Communications is up 14% in the 30 days after the trade. The calendar is what it is.
Why Trump Is Yelling at Fox
The Hill reported Sunday that Trump publicly attacked Fox News anchor Gillian Heinrich for interviewing Khanna on air. Trump's objection, per the report: Fox gave a Democrat a platform. Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley's 17th district, has been doing a media circuit that clearly got under someone's skin.
Getting attacked by the president in a Fox-related grievance post is essentially a campaign mailer that writes itself.
But Khanna's media profile isn't the only thing in the public record right now.
What the Filings Show
On March 24, 2026, Ro Khanna purchased shares of Rogers Communications Inc. ($RCI). The disclosure lists the dollar amount as undisclosed. Two days later, on March 26, Khanna voted Nay on HRES.1128, a resolution expressing the support of the House of Representatives for the Department of Homeland Security.
The resolution passed 225 to 187. Khanna was on the losing side.
In the 30 days following the trade, Rogers Communications stock moved up 14%.
Rogers Communications is a Canadian telecommunications conglomerate. The bill expressed Congressional affection for DHS. The Venn diagram of those two things is two non-overlapping circles.
The Timing, Laid Out
Monday: trade clears on Rogers Communications.
Wednesday: Khanna votes Nay on a DHS support resolution.
Next 30 days: the stock gains 14%.

What It Doesn't Show
The filing doesn't show the dollar amount. The disclosure form lists it as undisclosed — we know there was a purchase, but not whether it was $1,001 or $100,000. That's the law's architecture, not a gap in reporting.
Rogers Communications has no obvious legislative exposure to a House resolution cheerleading for Homeland Security. A Nay vote on a pro-DHS resolution from a progressive California Democrat is about as predictable as a sunrise. The vote tells you nothing about the trade. The trade tells you nothing about the vote. The 14% move tells you Rogers Communications had a good month. What the three facts sitting in sequence tell you is a question the public record raises without answering.
Two Stories, Same Week
Khanna has been one of the more media-forward Democrats in the 119th Congress, which is partly why Trump noticed him on Fox. Being the person Trump attacks consolidates the donor list and fills the fundraising email subject line. Less useful, optics-wise, is having a trade that cleared 48 hours before a vote — and having a publication that tracks these things notice both in the same week.
