I stand in solidarity with @BCTGM workers in Oregon, Colorado, and Virginia who are on strike for a fair contract and for decent working conditions. If Nabisco can rake in billions of dollars in corporate profits, they can afford to treat their workers with dignity and respect. — PolitiTweet.org

With our budget reconciliation legislation, we will make the largest investment in America's working families in decades. It means finally guaranteeing paid family & medical leave. It means free, universal pre-K. It means finally making child care affordable. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

A government which responds to the needs of its people and not just the interests of corporations is what we must demand in this moment if we are to restore the American people's faith in our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Direct payments as a result of the expanded Child Tax Credit are now in month two. In that time: - child poverty has been cut in HALF - we have seen a significant decrease in child hunger Our job now: extend the expanded Child Tax Credit. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

July was the hottest month in recorded history. I will say that again — we just experienced the hottest month EVER in the history of the planet. I do not want future generations to look back on this moment and ask why we did not do all we could to address climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Since the start of the pandemic, billionaires in this country have gotten some $1.8 trillion richer, while half our people live paycheck to paycheck. Please do not tell me that the billionaires of this country cannot afford to finally pay their fair share of taxes. https://t.co/F9v7M4w5p0 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I find it interesting that for my Republican colleagues, when it comes to tax breaks for the rich and corporations — that's okay. But when you demand that we invest in the working families of this country, well, suddenly the sky is falling! I am a little tired of that hypocrisy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

CEO pay between 1978-2020: Up 1,322% Worker pay between 1978-2020: FLAT That's the kind of greed and inequality we have got to end. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

After Trump's so-called "big, beautiful" tax cut, 82 ultra-wealthy households saved more than $1 BILLION on their tax bills. Absurd. It's time we make sure our economy works for the working people of this country, not just a handful of people at the top. https://t.co/L3pvZk3yPD — PolitiTweet.org

California is burning. Oregon is burning. Greece is burning. There is historic drought hitting virtually every country on the planet. NEWSFLASH! Climate change is real! And yeah, the United States has got to get its act together and lead on addressing the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In the face of so much devastation being wrought by decades of inaction, we cannot sit by and do nothing. When the Civilian Climate Corps is created, we will mobilize young people who care so deeply about the future of this planet to combat climate change. https://t.co/4tDzhIKGsp — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Some of my Republican colleagues still refuse to accept that climate change is real. I refuse to accept that this is the planet we are going to leave our kids and our grandkids. We must take bold action NOW to combat climate change, and that’s exactly what we are going to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The most important investment we can make is in the children of this country. That is exactly why we are going to make free pre-K for all working families a reality. That is exactly why we are going to finally join every other major country and guarantee paid family leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Let us end the days of 2 people in this country owning more wealth than the bottom 40% of our people combined. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

CEO pay has exploded by 52.6% since 2009. Meanwhile, the federal minimum wage: 2009: $7.25 2010: $7.25 2011: $7.25 2012: $7.25 2013: $7.25 2014: $7.25 2015: $7.25 2016: $7.25 2017: $7.25 2018: $7.25 2019: $7.25 2020: $7.25 2021: $7.25 Yeah, it's time to raise the minimum wage. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I've heard a lot from the punditry as to why Nina Turner lost her race in Ohio. Well, maybe it had something to do with drug companies, Wall Street and the fossil fuel industry spending millions trying to defeat her. Is that the kind of Democratic Party we want? I don't think so. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Shock of shocks! A health care system which prioritizes the profits of health insurance companies and pharmaceutical manufacturers over the health of its people is ranked dead last among other major countries! We need Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Today marks 56 years since the passage of the Voting Rights Act. And today, there are nearly 400 bills in legislatures in nearly all 50 states aimed at suppressing the right to vote. We must make it easier, not harder to vote in this country. We must pass the For the People Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

In America today, working class people pay, on average, a tax rate that is 24x higher than that of Jeff Bezos, one of the richest guys on the entire planet. Maybe, just maybe it's time for the billionaire class to pay their fair share of taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I want you to imagine an America in which every working family is guaranteed free pre-K education for their kids. https://t.co/LneBLgqhln — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Women should not have to go back to work days after giving birth. We must end the international embarrassment of being the only major country on Earth not to guarantee paid leave for workers. With our budget reconciliation legislation, that's exactly what we're going to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

81% of Democrats, 66% of Independents, and 57% of Republicans all agree with what you and I know to be true — it's time to tax the ultra-rich in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We are living in an unprecedented moment. Now is the time for unprecedented action. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Let me tell you. People are sick and tired of seeing day after day, the rich getting richer while everyone else struggles just to keep their heads above water. People want action. And that's exactly what we're going to give them with this budget reconciliation legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @ninaturner: Today is Election Day. We've talked to voters, built coalitions, organized our communiites, and centered the needs of eve… — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

For decades, Congress has paid a whole lot of attention to the rich and the powerful and to campaign contributors while ignoring the needs of the working class of this country. Those days are over. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Here's how our economic system works today. The rich get richer while half our people live paycheck to paycheck. Outrageous! Yeah, we are going to raise taxes on the wealthiest people in this country. And yeah, we are finally going to make sure our economy works for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

I know @ninaturner. I've known her for years. She is, without a doubt, one of the strongest fighters for justice that I have ever met in my life. We need her in Congress. Polls are open now until 7:30 pm — Ohio, get out and VOTE! https://t.co/stDxAKsGIB — PolitiTweet.org
