This is outrageous. President Trump’s proposal to repeal the Clean Power Plan is a stark reminder that instead of worrying about the future of our planet, he is more concerned with protecting the interests of his friends in the fossil fuel industry. https://t.co/bzKQ6zHvuE — PolitiTweet.org

The only thing Medicaid work requirements are good at is kicking people off their coverage. If the GOP wants to help people find work, they should invest in employment programs and guarantee health care as a right—not punish people who are struggling. https://t.co/BjAVgI3SWg — PolitiTweet.org

Representative Jayapal is exactly right. There is no such thing as a limited nuclear war. The $13 billion cost of this nuclear weapon would be much better spent fighting poverty and rebuilding the middle class. Thank you for standing up to the military industrial complex. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A new United Nations report confirms what the CIA said: Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. It is time for the United States to reevaluate our relationship with this brutal regime, including ending support for the catastrophic Yemen war. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud to celebrate #Juneteenth with @MrDannyGlover. This year's holiday takes on special significance because of today's House hearing on H.R. 40 to study the impacts of slavery. We must come to terms with slavery's horrors and how they affect every aspect of our lives today. https://t.co/WXfqO5s4oN — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The president won't address our health care crisis or climate change. But he will try to divide us up and go after undocumented people who have very little political power. That is what demagogues always do and that is why he must be defeated. https://t.co/63c26Aeobg — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. President: Respect the Constitution. You have no legal authority to launch an attack on Iran. Come to Congress, present your evidence, and make your case. If not, we will assert our power under the War Powers Act to stop you. https://t.co/PZ1XfQkX68 — PolitiTweet.org

Itta Bena, Mississippi is a "banking desert" where residents are without basic banking services. This is why @AOC and I are calling for the return of postal banking in the United States. The big banks of this country are preying on poor people or ignoring them completely. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a national disgrace that a minimum wage worker cannot afford a modest one-bedroom apartment in 99% of counties in America. All Americans have a right to a decent, affordable home. https://t.co/4542io2Pxu — PolitiTweet.org

Blackrock's role in destroying our planet is unacceptable. Our future is not in fossil fuel investments. Our future is shifting to sustainable energy, creating millions of jobs, leading the world in new technology and leaving our children a clean environment. https://t.co/bFClSbimw5 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

“It’s demeaning. It’s demoralizing. It’s unjust.” That's what a rigged political system looks like. As a House member in 1999, I led a trip to Canada to buy cheaper drugs. Twenty years later, people are still organizing 'caravans' to buy insulin they need. https://t.co/S8fuCFwm9e — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

While CEO pay has exploded, the minimum wage has lost more than 15 percent of its value since the last time it was raised. This is a starvation wage for 40 million people and everyone knows it. Congress must stand with the working people of this country. #RaisetheWage — PolitiTweet.org

This is not right: When it comes to who can afford to pay off their college debt and move on with their lives, there is a significant racial gap. Our job is to make public colleges tuition-free and substantially reduce student debt in this country. https://t.co/EhZRrpZaG5 — PolitiTweet.org

The Gulf of Oman incident must not be used as a pretext for war with Iran. War would be an unmitigated disaster for the United States, Iran, the region, and the world. A unilateral U.S. attack on Iran would be illegal and unconstitutional. https://t.co/D8QK7k50Ur — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

America’s economic rise relied on treating Black people as literal property. We have not come to terms with the horrors of slavery and its continued impacts on our society. I am proud to cosponsor this bill to study and develop reparations proposals. https://t.co/j8BId5I4cV — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to global security. As we see more drought, as poor people are not able to grow the food they need, there will be migrations of millions of people all over the world. That is why we need a Green New Deal. https://t.co/HFrX8WEtgP — PolitiTweet.org

"I do not begrudge any pregnant person’s personal choice, whatever it is. That is, in fact, the whole point." I hope Americans who do not believe in abortion will consider this powerful op-ed by @RepJayapal. Abortion must remain a constitutional right. https://t.co/E11npbp3S8 — PolitiTweet.org

It is sick and disgraceful that pharmaceutical executives conspired to cover up their greedy price-fixing scheme when @RepCummings and I launched an investigation. They need to be investigated and held accountable by our criminal justice system. https://t.co/ENCUMmVA8a — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump may not like it, but we are not an authoritarian country. The OSC recommendation is very clear: Ms. Conway must be removed from the federal government for violating the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Can you believe it? Amazon is issuing credit cards with 28% interest rates to "help" people with bad credit. This kind of greed makes the poor even poorer and @AOC and I intend to outlaw it. Corporations will have to survive on a 15% cap on interest rates. https://t.co/O3v1XOoMk3 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Three years ago, 49 people lost their lives in the Pulse nightclub shooting. It is absurd that we have not passed common sense gun safety legislation by now—all because the GOP is in the pocket of the NRA. My thoughts are with those who are remembering their loved ones today. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today is historic! The powerful House @WaysMeansCmte is holding a hearing on universal health care —a major step toward passing #MedicareforAll. Watch @RepJayapal and @RepDebDingell explain what this hearing means, and how we advance the fight for health care as a human right. https://t.co/DapiPXYqFj — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The internment of Japanese Americans is a stain on our history. It abhorrent that 75 years later, this administration now wants to hold migrant children in one of those same camps. We will look back on Trump’s racist child prisons as an abomination. https://t.co/DOBxbhdrcd — PolitiTweet.org

During his presidency, Lula da Silva oversaw huge reductions in poverty and remains Brazil’s most popular politician. I stand with political and social leaders across the globe who are calling on Brazil’s judiciary to release Lula and annul his conviction. — PolitiTweet.org
