In a new @DataProgress poll, 81% of voters, including 75% of Republicans, want to expand Social Security. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress want to cut benefits. The Senate must protect seniors and hold a vote on expanding Social Security. — PolitiTweet.org

Workers in this country are organizing against outrageous levels of corporate greed. We will only succeed by standing together. That’s why this weekend, I’ll be in Philadelphia and Boston to rally with @Teamsters Pres. Sean O’Brien and @afa_cwa Pres. Sara Nelson. Join us there. https://t.co/Aeohw1wLIK — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon is one of just a handful of TRILLION-dollar companies in the world. It's owned by one of the richest guys on the face of the planet. So why are workers at an Amazon facility in San Bernardino forced to live on food stamps to make ends meet? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I stand in solidarity with the Amazon workers in San Bernardino, CA who walked off the job today to protest low wages & unsafe working conditions. If Amazon can afford to pay its CEO $214 million last year it can afford to give their workers a $5 an hour raise & a safe workplace. — PolitiTweet.org

Price increase of insulin since introduction: Eli Lily: ⬆️ 680% since 1996 Sanofi: ⬆️ 420% since 2000 Novo Nordisk: ⬆️ 400% since 2000 Here's a radical idea. Americans should not die without the medication they need because drug companies want to make even bigger profits. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In America today, 55% of seniors are trying to survive on less than $25,000 a year while billionaires pay the same into Social Security as someone who makes $147,000. On Social Security's 87th anniversary, let's end that absurdity. Let's expand Social Security and scrap the cap. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We must say to the billionaire class: You can't have it all. They will argue. They will insist that we can't do better, that we can't have the same basic rights as citizens of other countries. It's time to ask them, and ourselves, a simple but very important question: Why not? — PolitiTweet.org

Let me congratulate the workers at Trader Joe's in Minneapolis for voting 55-5 to form a union and for becoming the second Trader Joe's in America to unionize for better wages, benefits and working conditions. The grassroots trade union movement is spreading like wildfire. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In the real world, our people are hurting. We pay the highest prices in the world for health care. 18 million families spend 50% of their limited incomes on housing. People cannot afford childcare or pre-K. We need an agenda that keeps the focus on those issues. https://t.co/oBYVmFiX2C — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Working people don’t have powerful lobbyists in Washington D.C. advocating on their behalf. They don't have super PACs that spend hundreds of millions buying and selling politicians. All we have is ourselves — the power of the people united. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

.@IlhanMN has faced some of the ugliest attacks of any elected official, and throughout this primary had hundreds of thousands of dollars spent against her. Despite this, she won her primary once again. CONGRATULATIONS — I look forward to continuing to serve alongside you. https://t.co/rP2hPaTKUC — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Congratulations to @TheOtherMandela on your primary victory tonight in Wisconsin. We need strong progressives like Mandela in the Senate to fight for an agenda that looks out for the working class of this country, not billionaires and corporations. On to November! https://t.co/2gIoQUDrlQ — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Congratulations to @zuckermanforvt on your primary victory tonight. Under David's leadership, Vermonters will have a Lieutenant Governor who proudly stands with working people. https://t.co/GObshHf2yL — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Congratulations to @WelchForVT on his primary victory tonight. Peter has the experience we need in the fight for a government that works for all of us, not just the wealthy few. I look forward to working with him in the Senate. https://t.co/jh0h9lOCKX — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I know — and Vermonters know — @BeccaBalintVT does the work. She is the kind of person we need in Washington to tackle the countless crises we face, from the existential threat of climate change to affordable housing and health care. Congratulations on this extraordinary moment. https://t.co/4Nk58DDq7a — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

At the same time 45% of all new income in this country goes to the top one percent, 4 out of 5 Americans with diabetes went into debt to pay for their insulin. That is not just outrageous, it's immoral. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Money for child care for working class kids? "Can't afford it!" Money to make health care available to all as a right? "Can't afford it!" Money for private equity giants? Sure, you got it! This is what class warfare is all about. https://t.co/aOlgqcoRNZ — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I cannot believe I have to say this, but workers who are organizing for better working conditions should not have to deal with their boss accusing them of kidnapping and assault. How outrageous. This campaign of rampant union-busting from Starbucks has got to end. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This is the wealthiest nation on Earth. We should not have the highest rate of childhood poverty of almost any country. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

You ready for a radical idea? Here we go. You should not have to work two or three jobs just to keep a roof over your head. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In my view, if we are going to make our planet healthy and habitable, we should not give BILLIONS of dollars in new tax breaks to the very same companies that are currently destroying the planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Sentencing Brittney Griner to nine years in prison in Russia is absolutely outrageous. She should not be a victim of geo-political tensions. She should be released immediately and allowed to come home. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I would like to congratulate @Andy_Levin and @LucasKunceMO on running excellent grassroots campaigns. In the face of millions of dollars in attacks from billionaire-funded corporate super PACs, they stood strong for the working families of this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Let me congratulate my good friend @RashidaTlaib on winning her primary last night. Now more than ever before, the people of Michigan and the entire country need your leadership in the Congress in the fight against corporate greed. https://t.co/2N4Azojop3 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Congratulations to @CoriBush on your overwhelming victory in last night's primary! With your leadership, the people of Missouri have a true progressive on their side in the struggle against the corporate establishment and the forces of greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Congratulations to the people of Kansas for coming out in large numbers to make clear that abortion is a right and that it is women who control their own bodies, not the government. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Let me congratulate the workers of IUOE @Local150 on winning their contract fight. Through strong solidarity on the picket lines, they won economic increases and strong health care provisions for their families. YES — there is power in a union. — PolitiTweet.org
