With our budget reconciliation bill, we are taking on the pharmaceutical industry. We are taking on the health care industry. We are taking on the fossil fuel industry. We are taking on the entire ruling class. If we have the courage to stand up and fight, we can defeat them. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

It is absurd that we have people in this country who every day must choose between being able to afford the medicines they need to stay alive and being able to afford their groceries. It is no exaggeration to say the greed of the pharmaceutical industry is killing people. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Maybe I am a little bit of a radical, but I happen to think that in the richest country on the face of the planet, people should not have to be cutting their pills in half or rationing their insulin. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

97% of Democrats, 80% of Independents and 61% of Republicans want Medicare to negotiate with the pharma companies to lower prescription drug prices. Our opponents are not only dead wrong on this policy, they are also way out of touch with what the American people are demanding. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Let me ask you a question. Are you satisfied with a system that allows the pharmaceutical industry to charge you $98 for the same vial of insulin that the Canadian people get for about $12? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

For years, the story has gone like this: the pharmaceutical industry spends billions lobbying Congress to do nothing to lower prescription drug prices, they get their way. And so the American people continue to pay the highest drug prices in the world. Time to end their greed. https://t.co/chVW1FNPKj — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The business model of the pharmaceutical industry is fraud. Their greed is literally killing Americans. They have spent billions buying politicians & several of their executives became billionaires during the pandemic. Their days of calling the shots in DC must come to an end. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Trump claimed the day before the recall election that "it all doesn't matter because the California Election is totally rigged." That's what demagogues say when they can't win elections and want to undermine democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The pharmaceutical industry has spent more than $4.5 billion on lobbying and campaign contributions over the past 20 years. That's why we pay the highest prices on earth for prescription drugs. Enough is enough. Democrats must have the courage to defeat their greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

A recent poll found 61% of all voters support our legislation to finally meet the needs of the working class. And importantly, 60% of voters know what you and I know to be true — it's time for the wealthy and large corporations to pay their fair share. Let's get it done. https://t.co/WmKGp1OqbM — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The pandemic has brought enormous harm into the lives of millions of working people. But for the billionaire class, it has been a windfall, their wealth skyrocketing by $1.8 TRILLION. The time is now to tax the billionaires and invest in the working class of this country. — PolitiTweet.org

We are going to deal with our physical infrastructure. We are going to deliver for the needs of working families. Let's create the jobs. Let's expand Medicare. Let's lead the world in the fight against climate change. That's what we've got to do. https://t.co/5YArdNAA71 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We have worked very hard to develop legislation which finally meets the long-neglected needs of the working class. $3.5 trillion is already the compromise — we must pass the infrastructure bill and the reconciliation bill in tandem. https://t.co/JIVxw3oo4P — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The absolute last thing we need at this unprecedented moment in American history is some right-wing Republican governor in California trying to impede the president's agenda. CALIFORNIA: don't let it happen. Return your ballot or vote 'NO' in-person by September 14th. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I want what the American people want — a government that works for all of us, not just the wealthy elite. And that starts by passing the Budget Reconciliation Bill in full, not in part. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Republicans in Congress L-O-V-E-D reconciliation when it was used to give tax breaks to billionaires, and to cut taxes for very large corporations — now we want to use that same process to help the working class, and how many Republicans intend to support it? Z-E-R-O. Pathetic. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Let me help my Republican colleagues understand who it is that we're going to be raising taxes for under our reconciliation bill. ✅ billionaires ✅ large corporations ❌ working families earning less than $400,000 a year https://t.co/UUHxL5ZNp9 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The COVID pandemic has claimed over 653,000 American lives, and hospitals in many parts of the country are now filled to capacity — especially with those who have not been vaccinated. For the safety of yourself and of your loved ones, please, get vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Every powerful special interest and their lobbyists are flooding Capitol Hill to try to defeat the most consequential legislation for working people since the Great Depression. But if we stand together, we're going to defeat them and deliver for the working class. https://t.co/e0YdjJ875i — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

If we do not move aggressively to combat climate change and if we allow the planet to become increasingly unlivable, we will be showing absolute contempt for our younger generation. It would be grossly immoral to turn our backs on our kids and grandchildren. We must act now. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We have a choice to make. We can listen to the climate deniers and not worry about the impact of climate change and turn our backs on our kids and grandkids. Or we can listen to the scientists who tell us that we must act boldly and aggressively to prevent a climate catastrophe. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Now is the time to enact the most consequential legislation for the working class of this country since the days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the New Deal. Now is the time for working class solidarity. Now is the time to finally build a government which works for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Now is the time for legislation which says yes, it is absurd that the United States is the only major country not to guarantee workers some form of paid family and medical leave — we must end that absurdity and guarantee paid leave to workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

To me, that level of inequality is morally unconscionable. Now is the time for legislation that says yes, in the richest country on the face of the planet, seniors must be able to age with dignity — we must expand Medicare to cover hearing aids, dental care, and eyeglasses. — PolitiTweet.org
