When Harry Truman first proposed guaranteeing health care to seniors the idea was billed as radical, “un-American” and an attack on basic freedom. Medicare is now one of the most popular government programs. We can make health care a right to ALL if we have the political will. — PolitiTweet.org

Corporate America and the billionaire class have been waging a 40-year war against the trade union movement in America. Working together, we are going to make sure that is a war they will lose. https://t.co/bqDCIT3g3e — PolitiTweet.org

A neurologist. An Iraq War veteran. A professor whose students worry about what climate change will mean for their future. Episode 4 of #HearTheBern went on the road in Texas to hear directly from the people who power this movement. Listen and subscribe: https://t.co/IT4uq2Md7w https://t.co/IIYtaS4gHc — PolitiTweet.org

How much did insurance and pharmaceutical groups spend on lobbying last year to protect our profit-driven system? $143 million. That's a sign that we are winning and we cannot rest, we cannot back down, and we cannot accept any substitute but Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In 2017 the top 65 health care CEOs made $1.7 billion. The 25 highest-paid CEOs in the pharmaceutical industry made roughly $440 million. It should be no surprise that health companies and their political groups will spend enormous sums of money to stop Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Insurers and drugmakers formed a front group called the Partnership for America’s Health Care Future to oppose Medicare for All. In reality, this is a partnership to protect health industry profits. We cannot accept any substitute for Medicare for All. https://t.co/MvNN7X0BtY — PolitiTweet.org

In Fort Worth on Saturday we can elect a true progressive for mayor. Deborah Peoples will work to level the playing field. She will address income inequality and ensure equity for every family. Do what you can to help us get out the vote and make history! https://t.co/pzQPeACQRV — PolitiTweet.org

Since the China trade deal I voted against, America has lost over 3 million manufacturing jobs. It’s wrong to pretend that China isn’t one of our major economic competitors. When we are in the White House we will win that competition by fixing our trade policies. — PolitiTweet.org

As a nation, we have got to get our priorities right and there is no priority more important than a quality education for our young people. Congratulations to teachers in North Carolina who are fighting for fair wages and more support for their students. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

750,000 people in South Carolina and 40 million people across the country live in poverty. Too often in this country, people struggling to get by think they're in it alone. That is a myth — you are not in it alone. And you deserve a government that works for you. https://t.co/FfJaN1MIah — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Teachers don't have basic resources they need while billionaires get massive tax breaks. That's a disgrace. @NinaTurner and I stand with South Carolina teachers who are striking to change our priorities. https://t.co/NnPILx92Xs — PolitiTweet.org

The flooding in Davenport is devastating. We must provide Iowans with the help they need to quickly recover. And we must invest immediately in strengthening our infrastructure to prepare for disasters like this that climate change will make even worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

GM got a $514 million tax break from Trump. It pays nothing in federal income taxes. Its CEO made $22 million last year. Yet it's laying off nearly 15,000 workers and closing plants in Michigan, Ohio and Maryland. This is the kind of corporate greed we are going to end. https://t.co/fzoOrrNoJt — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The 26 richest people on Earth own more wealth than the bottom half — 3.8 billion people. From South Carolina to Seoul, workers today are saying that we can no longer tolerate such obscene inequality. They understand that when we stand together, we win. #MayDay — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I stand with South Carolina teachers who are walking out for fairer pay, smaller classroom sizes, duty-free break time and full funding of the state’s promises to students. We need to treat educators with respect and dignity. #AllOutMay1 — PolitiTweet.org

"We need to talk about poverty. We need to talk about wealth. We need to bring all of us together no matter what color." I'm honored to have Dr. @CornelWest by our side in this struggle. https://t.co/ovLx3OwVsG — PolitiTweet.org

The UNC Charlotte community is uniting to deal with another horrific instance of gun violence in this country. We must move aggressively to end the epidemic of gun violence which claims more lives every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The truth is that our country has had a long and shameful history of voter suppression. This should not devolve into a debate about whether certain people are “good enough” to have the right to vote. Voting is not a privilege. It is a right. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

When our democracy is bought and paid for by Wall Street, we get policies that enrich CEOs while keeping millions of Americans in poverty. Our campaign is about stopping this slide into oligarchy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I am proud to be the only candidate running for president who not only voted against NAFTA and PNTR with China, but also stood on the picket lines with union workers opposing these unfair trade deals. https://t.co/KfTsOtzWZq — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

When we are in the White House, we will renegotiate all of our unfair trade deals to prevent the outsourcing of American jobs, raise wages, protect the environment, and lower the outrageously high price of prescription drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Our profit-driven health care system hurts patients. -1 in 4 Americans skip treatment due to cost -Half fear bankruptcy from medical emergency -2 million workers change insurance every month But at least the top health care CEOs made $1.1 billion last year. #MedicareForAll — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

It’s good that Trump is finally willing to talk about infrastructure—but let’s remember that infrastructure isn’t just roads, bridges and wastewater plants. It’s also affordable housing, schools and mass transit. We can and must fund ALL of these priorities in a progressive way. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Today, for the first time, the U.S. House of Representatives is holding a hearing on #MedicareForAll. That is no small thing. It's the result of millions of people demanding we make health care a right. Insurance and drug companies may have the money. But we will win. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

It goes without saying that someone who commits a serious crime must pay their debt to society. But punishment for a crime, or keeping dangerous people behind bars, does not cause people to lose their rights to citizenship. It should not cause them to lose their right to vote. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

Our present-day crisis of mass incarceration has become a tool of voter suppression. Today, over 4.5 million Americans — disproportionately people of color — have lost their right to vote because they have served time in jail or prison for a felony conviction. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

After the ratification of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which extended civil and legal protections to formerly enslaved people, many state governments rushed to create new felonies to put black people in jail and then institute lifetime disenfranchisement. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
