Jeff Bezos is worth about $180 billion. If he wants to go to the moon or to Mars, hey, that's his business — knock yourself out. But in my view, the taxpayers of this country do not need to subsidize his space travel. — PolitiTweet.org

There must be no ambiguity in acknowledging that what the whole world is seeing from Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine is nothing less than a blatant violation of international law and human decency. https://t.co/RokWTb6LzZ — PolitiTweet.org

Anybody who thinks we don't have an oligarchy right here in this country is sorely mistaken. — PolitiTweet.org

I am pleased that the Canadian government, at the urging of @theJagmeetSingh and the @NDP, is moving toward universal dental care. That's the right thing to do, and exactly what we should be doing in the US. Health care is a human right, and dental care is part of health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Lately when you turn on the news, you hear a lot about Russian oligarchs. I don't want to break the bad news to anybody here, but we've got a lot of oligarchy right here in America, too. https://t.co/SIdIPqfEZr — PolitiTweet.org

I suspect you haven't heard much about the Competitiveness bill that's in the Senate right now. Here’s what you need to know: the taxpayers of this country should not be giving $53 billion to profitable microchip companies and $10 billion to Jeff Bezos to go to space. Period. https://t.co/2eriaC8oKw — PolitiTweet.org

TONIGHT: Right now, we are in a global struggle between autocracy and democracy, with nothing less than the future of the planet at stake. Please join me, @BLeeForCongress, @PeterBeinart, @brhodes, and @MariaRepnikova for a town hall discussion this evening at 8 PM ET. https://t.co/5RKhq1Kgtc — PolitiTweet.org

I stand in solidarity with Maximus workers walking out of federal call centers across the country today. To my mind, we should not allow greedy corporations to privatize public services or profit from robbing workers of fair pay and benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

We have never seen in this country the level of corporate greed that we are seeing right now. — PolitiTweet.org

The baseball oligarchs are far more concerned with increasing their wealth and profits than in strengthening our national pastime. We must prevent their greed from destroying the game. The best way to do that is to end Major League Baseball’s antitrust exemption. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The richest in the world want more money for yachts and rockets to zoom around outer space, and that's called rational. The rest of the population wants a roof over their heads, a decent wage, and a life of dignity, and that's called 'radical.' Does that make any sense at all? — PolitiTweet.org

Join me and special guests @BLeeForCongress, @PeterBeinart and @brhodes this Wednesday at 8 PM ET for a town hall discussion about the progressive response on foreign policy and the war in Ukraine. https://t.co/P6y599D7fM — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We need leaders who will come to Congress ready to fight — fight on behalf of the poor, fight on behalf of the working class, fight for Medicare for All, and fight for a Green New Deal. @SummerForPA will be that leader. https://t.co/Mxp6WV1rm1 — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the workers at Starbucks for your union organizing success. A union means not only better wages and working conditions, it means having some control over your job and not just being a cog in the machine. It means being more human. — PolitiTweet.org

Corporate greed is Nike increasing its profit by 125% last year to $5.7 billion & blaming "inflation" for a 10.5% price spike on a pair of expensive sneakers made by workers in Vietnam earning less than a buck an hour while Phil Knight became $26.7 billion richer in the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

This is Russia's Oligarchy. In 2017, it was estimated Putin was worth some $200 billion. Last year, Russia’s 120 billionaires owned $588 billion in wealth, equal to 60% of the country’s household wealth. We must destroy global oligarchy and create an economy that works for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Since it was announced that Howard Schultz (worth $4 billion) would be coming back as Starbucks CEO he has become $145 million richer – in just 2 days. It would take 4,600 years for the minimum wage worker at Starbucks to make that much money. Yes. Starbucks workers need a union. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SummerForPA: So proud to have @BernieSanders support in #PA12! Together, we're building a movement that puts power back into the hands… — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I am proud to endorse @SummerForPA for Congress. Summer is an experienced organizer, legislator, and a champion for Medicare for All, a $15 minimum wage, expanding voting rights, and a Green New Deal. I know she will continue to fight for those ideas when she's in the Congress. https://t.co/FokYMPrrH3 — PolitiTweet.org

Over the past 5 days, the average wholesale gas price has gone DOWN by 21 cents a gallon and the price of oil has gone DOWN by over $15 a barrel.   Meanwhile, the average price of a gallon of gas at the pump has gone UP by 21 cents a gallon.   Yes. We need a windfall profits tax. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to end our dependence on fossil fuels. — PolitiTweet.org

If you want to understand why the movement to organize unions at Starbucks is spreading like wildfire, look at how the company is treating workers demanding a voice on the job. Starbucks is not a poor company. It should stop retaliating and allow workers to organize. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Overall, women are paid just $0.73 for every $1 men are paid. Black women are paid $0.64. Latina and Native American women are paid $0.54. How insane is that? It's 2022. Equal pay for equal work is not a radical idea — it's an issue of basic justice. #EqualPayDay — PolitiTweet.org

If every other major country on the planet can provide universal health care to all its people, why can't we? — PolitiTweet.org

It is insane that while MIT's endowment grew by over $9 BILLION in 2021, nearly 1 in 4 grad students struggle to keep up with cost of living. I say to MIT: invest in your students. I stand in solidarity with @MITGradUnion in their efforts to form a union. — PolitiTweet.org
