We must not be about tearing small children away from their families. In 2002, I voted against creation of DHS and the establishment of ICE. That was the right vote. What our cruel and broken immigration system needs is comprehensive reform. — PolitiTweet.org

$70,000 a minute. $4 million per hour. $100 million per day. That's how much the Walton family, the richest family in the world, made last year. I say to the Walton family: No more excuses. Pay your workers a living wage—at least $15 an hour. https://t.co/k7aGeQXxvq — PolitiTweet.org

I guess this is what Senator Mitch McConnell calls "leadership": Defending starvation wages for American workers, inaction on the climate crisis, and doing nothing to stop mass shootings. https://t.co/4fxen1s7qg — PolitiTweet.org

Health care is a right, not a privilege. We need Medicare for All so we can end the disgrace of 30 million Americans having no health insurance, and many more being underinsured with high deductibles and co-payments. https://t.co/N7nPZ4H59T — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Our grassroots movement got Democrats and Republicans to pass our bill to end the U.S. role in Saudi Arabia's brutal war in Yemen. Although Trump vetoed it, Congress can still rein in this president and put an end to the world's worst humanitarian crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Billionaire Wall Street investors think they’re pretty savvy. But their big bet on fossil fuels didn’t pan out: BlackRock lost $90 billion investing in oil and coal over 10 years. Maybe after a few billion more in losses, they’ll realize we should act to solve climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Prescription drug costs are too damn high! For decades, we've been paying more to pharmaceutical companies than any other country. You know what that makes us? The suckers of the world. https://t.co/Ztc4a43fD2 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In 1923, researchers who discovered insulin sold the patent for $1 so it would be available to all. But drug companies hijacked this lifesaving medicine and now charge over $300 a vial. Let’s be clear about this: Big Pharma’s greed is literally killing people in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Trump plan to cut nutrition assistance for 3 million Americans is nothing short of obscene. Tax cuts for the rich, more hunger for the poor. This is what oligarchy looks like. We are calling on @realDonaldTrump to reverse this disastrous proposal. https://t.co/T1lNXK6tq2 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Billions around the world are at risk of drought, displacement, and resource wars. What if, instead of spending $738 billion a year on the Pentagon and weapons systems, the United States brought the world together to cooperate on solving climate change? https://t.co/GaudS5MASR — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

And we should make public colleges and universities tuition-free. This is not a "radical" idea. Here is how we do it: https://t.co/gd3TPjg5CA — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We should cancel it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

July 2019 was the hottest month in recorded history. Make no mistake: this is an emergency. We cannot afford to simply wait Trump out. Congress must act boldly to tackle the climate threat—the fate of our children and grandchildren depend on it. https://t.co/MEHWCTC7pg — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Why are we the only advanced country with no guaranteed family leave, sick days or vacations? Because corporate America hates unions. Our plan, the Workplace Democracy Act, will revitalize union organizing so America's working class has a dignified life. https://t.co/OkZCDgDW64 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

President Trump faces a choice: bring the country together to pass commonsense gun safety measures—or blame the internet. He has decided to side with the NRA, whose lobbyists and campaign contributions control the Republican party. #VideogamesAreNotToBlame https://t.co/r4IeRDsYKz — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

On the issue of guns, we are not so divided: Over 90% of the public supports universal background checks. @SenateGOP and @realDonaldTrump: the country is demanding action right now. Will you side with the American people or will you just do what the @NRA wants? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

No one should profit from imprisoning people, especially children. We must end this morally repugnant business. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Senator McConnell, bring a bill to fight this gun violence epidemic to the Senate floor for a vote. These were passed by the House five months ago: ∙ Bipartisan Background Checks Act ∙ Enhanced Background Checks Act Without action, your words are meaningless and insulting. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A society which proclaims freedom as its goal, as the United States does, must work unceasingly to end the disgraceful bigotry and violence against transgender Americans. https://t.co/CKRrvBjpLt — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

El pueblo boricua se unió, se levantó, y le forzó a Rosselló a renunciar. Nos muestra lo que la gente común puede lograr cuando nos organizamos. Ahora tenemos que asegurar de que reciban una representación justa y receptiva. Puerto Rico se merece la democracia, no la austeridad. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Puerto Rican people came together, stood up, and forced Governor Rosselló to resign. They showed us what ordinary people can achieve when we organize. Our job now is to make sure they get fair and responsive representation. Puerto Rico deserves democracy, not austerity. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I say to Mitch McConnell: Do not ignore the will of 200 million Americans who want us to put an end to starvation wages in the United States. Let the American people have a vote on a $15 minimum wage! https://t.co/p0uaE6mMo9 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The pharmaceutical industry will claim the outrageous prices they charge for life-saving medicines are necessary.    Maybe they haven’t heard of a country that we share thousands of miles of a border with, where they sell the exact same drugs for a fraction of the price. https://t.co/ECz1Q2TsVt — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Esto es inaceptable. El gobierno de los Estados Unidos le ha fallado al pueblo de Puerto Rico por demasiado tiempo. Eso debe acabar ya. El presidente Trump debe asegurar que el gobierno federal esté haciendo todo lo que esté en su poder para reconstruir a Puerto Rico. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

For far too long, the U.S. government has failed the people of Puerto Rico. That must end today. President Trump must act now to ensure that the federal government is doing everything in its power to fully rebuild Puerto Rico. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Pentagon is set to grow by $90 billion and reach $738 billion next year. For $90 billion, we could double nutrition assistance or provide $7,000 to every child in poverty. We cannot keep handing over billions to the military-industrial complex. https://t.co/8zIyQnlbfZ — PolitiTweet.org

We should pay attention to this: Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a far-right authoritarian, is rapidly destroying the Amazon rainforest. He is a threat to working people, minorities, journalists, and a habitable planet. No wonder Trump loves him so much. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If every major country on the planet can guarantee health care to all and achieve better health outcomes, while spending less per capita, please do not tell us that the United States of America cannot do the same. — PolitiTweet.org
