Here's a radical idea: majority rule. Not a single Republican voted to provide a $1,400 direct payment to the working class or a $3,000 Child Tax Credit. The Senate passed this important legislation with 51 votes. We must do the same with the American Jobs and Family plans. — PolitiTweet.org

You know, let me give Mitch McConnell credit — he is being very honest in saying that "100%" of his focus is on stopping the Biden administration from helping working families. Our job now is to use reconciliation to provide real help for the working people of this country. https://t.co/sBUwuCiIrt — PolitiTweet.org

What stimulus checks meant for the American people: ⬇️ financial instability fell by 43% ⬇️ families' food shortages fell by 42% ⬇️ anxiety and depression fell by 20% Yes. Government can and should continue to address the needs of working people, not just the 1%. — PolitiTweet.org

Unfettered capitalism is CEO compensation skyrocketing by 940% since 1978 while the typical worker's pay has inched up by just 12%. This is not what America is supposed to be about. We must put an end to rampant inequality and finally create an economy which works for all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Time is running out. This is no time to nibble around the edges. Now is the time to go big and to pass legislation which works for the middle class and working families, not just the wealthy. https://t.co/ymZHAaaI3L — PolitiTweet.org

States where Republicans have introduced voter suppression bills: AK AL AR AZ CA CO CT FL GA HI IA ID IL IN KS KY LA MA MD ME MI MN MO MS MT NC ND NE NH NJ NM NV NY OH OK OR PA RI SC SD TN TX UT VA WA WI WV WY We must pass the For The People Act and defend our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

For most Americans, there is a vast disconnect between the reality of their lives and what is talked about in Washington. In the real world, the rich are getting richer, and most everyone else is working harder for less. Let’s move forward boldly to protect working families. — PolitiTweet.org

I have had the opportunity of visiting U.S. military cemeteries in North Africa and England. Row after row of graves from World War II. It was an extremely sobering and sad experience. Today, we remember those who died in war and pledge to try and create a more peaceful world. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Democrats in Texas for protecting democracy and the right to vote. Let's see if Democrats in the U.S. Senate have the same courage. We MUST pass S. 1, the For The People Act. The future of American democracy is at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats prevented Texas Republicans on Sunday from passing a major bill to restrict voting. But a special session… https://t.co/FXjGLe7aAP

Poverty is not just doing without luxuries. It is a death sentence. At a time when income and wealth inequality is growing, the richest American men live 15 years longer than the poorest men, while the gap for women is 10 years. This is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
The American people want action, not never-ending "negotiations" and obstructionism, and they will not come out and vote for a party that does not deliver. If not now, when? — PolitiTweet.org

Democracy in America means one person, one vote. It does not mean billionaires buying elections. It does not mean suppressing the vote. It does not mean rigging the next election because you lost the last one. People fought and died for our democracy — it is our job to defend it. — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly half of all seniors over the age of 75 have hearing loss. Yet in America today, 75% of seniors who need hearing aids don't have one. Why is that? Because of the price tag. It's time we expand Medicare to cover hearing aids, dental care, and eyeglasses. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeff Bezos is the richest guy on the planet. He's gotten $86 billion richer since the start of the COVID pandemic. Does he really need $10 billion from Congress for space exploration? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
I think most working class Americans understand that for the last 40 years, what the government has done is cater to the needs of the wealthy and of large corporations. What we have got to do now is start paying attention to a struggling working class. https://t.co/WVCk8uJwWf — PolitiTweet.org

When Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican Leader, tells us his job is to oppose 100% of President Biden's agenda, we should believe him. Time is running out. We must act quickly to improve the lives of working families with 51 votes. We cannot afford to wait. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve recently seen disturbing antisemitic attacks and a troubling rise in Islamophobia. If you are committed to a future of equality and peaceful coexistence, please stand united against anyone who promotes hatred of any kind. — PolitiTweet.org

I hear my Republican colleagues going on about a 'labor shortage' in this country. Well, in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, some employers have raised wages — you know what? People came back to work in a hurry. https://t.co/9stlZIMWx6 — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the workers who fought courageously for this HUGE victory. Congress must follow Rhode Island’s lead and move NOW to end starvation wages in the richest country on earth. — PolitiTweet.org

On issue after issue, Republicans are seeing that the American people overwhelmingly support a progressive agenda. As it turns out, an agenda of enormous tax breaks for billionaires, and billions in welfare for enormous corporations isn't all that popular. Imagine that! — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
If McDonald's can afford to pay its CEO over $10 million in compensation and spend billions on stock buybacks to award its wealthy shareholders and executives, you know what? It can afford to pay all of its workers at least $15 an hour. I'm proud to support the workers on strike. https://t.co/XodhxFksbc — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Over the course of the pandemic, the average corporate CEO has seen their pay explode by some 29%. The median worker has seen their pay decline by 2%. That is totally unacceptable. https://t.co/Mw6ytSjfQZ — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans in state after state are attempting to starve people back to work by trying to do away with supplemental unemployment payments. Unacceptable. My view is simple: pay people a living wage and provide better benefits, they will work. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
The problem is not a labor shortage in this country. The problem is that in state after state, workers are being asked to work for starvation wages and no benefits. https://t.co/y9QbLkjbP9 — PolitiTweet.org

The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable. We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end. We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal for U.S. aid to support human rights violations. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Tax breaks Republicans want to provide by repealing the estate tax: –$88 billion to the Walton family –$71 billion to the Jeff Bezos family –$65 billion to the Elon Musk family –$50 billion to the Bill Gates family –$40 billion to the Mark Zuckerberg family –$0 to the 99.9% — PolitiTweet.org

Healthcare is a human right, not a job benefit. A major step forward toward Medicare for All is to negotiate prescription drug prices, and use the $500 billion in savings to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision - and lower the eligibility age to 55. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
The Republicans know they can't win fair elections. That's why, in dozens of states, they're suppressing the vote, making it easier for "dark money" to buy elections and creating outrageous gerrymandered districts. We must pass the For The People Act to save American democracy. — PolitiTweet.org
