Corporate irresponsibility during this pandemic has led to the deaths of hundreds of workers. Legal immunity for corporations that break the law cannot be included in any Covid-relief package. https://t.co/93v9TJDqCu — PolitiTweet.org

Endless money for wars? No problem. Endless money for tax breaks for the rich? No problem. Endless money for corporate welfare? No problem. But when it comes to providing a $1,200 direct payment to the working class during a pandemic, somehow we can't afford it. Not acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must not leave for the Christmas holiday until we protect working people. That means $1200 for every working class adult, $500 for their kids and a $600 per week supplement in unemployment benefits. https://t.co/RfaoLjrsoT — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud this effort to end Facebook’s monopoly. Their greed knows no bounds, and they’ve used their power to try and control too much of political and economic life all over the world. The only thing that will stop Facebook is to say “enough is enough” and break it up. — PolitiTweet.org

Millions are unemployed, facing eviction, have no health insurance, and going hungry. This is an EMERGENCY, and the U.S. government must respond. Any COVID agreement must include at least $1,200 in direct payments for adults, $500 for kids and supplemental unemployment benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Here in Washington, when we go to war there’s endless amounts of money. But when children are going hungry today, suddenly we don’t have enough money. That’s wrong. Congress needs to make sure families get the help they need. https://t.co/JmBCvxl2PQ — PolitiTweet.org

If Congress can afford to give giant subsidies to the fossil fuel industry and a $1 trillion tax break to the top 1%, then we can afford $1200 direct payments to every working class adult in America. #PeoplesBailout https://t.co/gWGHra5SIB — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

If there was ever a moment for Congress to listen to the people, not corporations, now is that time. Join me now with @PplsAction to demand that any new COVID-relief proposal include at least $1,200 in direct payment to all working class Americans. https://t.co/XRttUrrLwx — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

To me it is a no-brainer: Congress must provide a $1200 direct payment to every working-class adult plus $500 for each of their children. https://t.co/B0LW88V5W7 — PolitiTweet.org

Workers at meat processing plants, at Amazon, and around the country have been treated shamefully during this pandemic Working class Americans need $1200 payments to get them through this crisis, not immunity for corporations putting their lives at risk. https://t.co/1Lf6djc3Bg — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The economy is in shambles. Tens of millions of Americans are suffering. At the very least, Congress must provide $1200 direct payments to every working-class adult in this country. https://t.co/lJxKBzOsNA — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

We cannot turn our backs on families who are struggling through this pandemic. Congress must include, at the least, a $1200 direct payment to any COVID proposal which is passed. That's what the American people want. That's what we must do. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Every now and then, it might be a good idea for Congress to listen to the American people, not just large corporations. https://t.co/H4hWEz7U0H — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

11,000 workers at Tyson Foods got COVID & 36 died while managers made bets on how many would get sick. The working conditions were so bad they “shook” a local sheriff “to his core.” No, I will not vote to give corporations a license to harm workers. We must hold them accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The American people need help NOW! We must make sure every working class American receives at least $1,200 and that we don't give legal immunity to corporations who break the law. I will not support Manchin-Romney in its current form. We must fight together to improve it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

While the COVID crisis is the worst it has ever been, Manchin-Romney not only provides no direct payments, it does nothing to address the healthcare crisis and provides totally inadequate assistance for the most vulnerable. That's wrong morally and it's wrong economically. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

During the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, when 1 out of 4 workers are unemployed or make less than $20,000, every working class American needs at least $1,200 to pay the rent and feed their families. Manchin-Romney provides nothing for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Despite strong Democratic opposition, this proposal provides 100% legal immunity to corporations whose irresponsibility led to the deaths of hundreds of workers. It would continue to provide a get-out-of-jail free card to companies that put the lives of their workers at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Given the enormous economic desperation facing working families in this country today, I can't support this proposal unless it is significantly improved. https://t.co/vTonhWNPjz — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Trump's rants about a "fraudulent election" are not a joke. They are the most significant attack against our democracy in history. If the election system's "rigged," if the media's "fake," if federal officials are part of a "deep state," who can you trust? You got it. A dictator. — PolitiTweet.org

This is not a time to take our foot off the gas pedal. If we rally the American people, we can get a hell of a lot done. https://t.co/1iKt9i8Zj2 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Mitch McConnell's "new" COVID relief bill gives CEOs a 100% tax deduction for a 3-martini lunch, but ZERO to the 26 million who don't have enough food to eat. Yes. The Republicans l-o-v-e corporate socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the rest. Ain't gonna happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

Hmm. What do you call a billionaire who registered a $40 million, 164-foot yacht in the Cayman Islands to avoid $2.4 million in U.S. taxes, while undermining public schools? The worst Education Secretary in the history of America. Bye-bye, Betsy DeVos. You won't be missed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

During the pandemic, the pharmaceutical industry has increased the price of at least 245 prescription drugs. That is an outrage. Congress must take on the greed of the drug companies and end the absurdity of Americans paying, by far, the highest prices in the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

These are unprecedented times and Congress and the Biden administration must respond in an unprecedented way. If we are going to restore faith in the American political system, we must act boldly. https://t.co/yNJqw9W0RR — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders

The pandemic is surging and will get worse in coming months. Meanwhile, Trump raises tens of millions by undermining democracy and telling his supporters the election was "fraudulent." This is the most dangerous president in American history. Bye-bye. — PolitiTweet.org
