Jane and I, our four kids and seven grandchildren, want to take this opportunity to wish all of the great mothers of our country a very happy Mother's Day. — PolitiTweet.org

Making certain that future generations have a planet that is healthy and habitable is a moral imperative. With their activism, young people are taking the lead in the fight against climate change. I look forward to speaking to the @sunrisemvmt tomorrow. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

How insane is this. We tell young people to get the best education they can, and then saddle them for decades with student debt. We must make public colleges and universities tuition-free, and substantially reduce student debt. https://t.co/5ZtH7KKyHJ — PolitiTweet.org

Think of it. Instead of spending trillions on wars, strong U.S. presidential leadership could bring the world together in the fight against climate change and the need to transform our energy system away from fossil fuels. https://t.co/Q7EieYBmdG — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, our critics are wrong: a new study found that in cities and states where wages went up, other low-wage workers got a bump in pay, and overall employment did not decrease. It's long past time for Congress to pass a $15-an-hour living wage. https://t.co/Ifforg6cAq — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes for sounding the alarm on the dangers of unchecked corporate power. We are living in an era of monopolies that dominate every aspect of our lives—including our government. It’s time to take that power back. https://t.co/L3eEofZtnh — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is right. The big banks prey on poor people with high interest rates or ignore them entirely. The vast majority of postal services around the world allow their customers to use basic banking services without outrageous fees and interest rates. So should we. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

88 percent of the American people support capping credit card interest rates. They are sick and tired of being ripped off by Wall Street banks that are making record profits. Working together, we will end their greed. https://t.co/hSrF4Ou3Mp — PolitiTweet.org

Credit card interest rates are outrageously high. With @RepAOC, we are introducing legislation to challenge the greed of Wall Street and protect consumers across America. https://t.co/eFltL754AG — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

My colleague @RepAOC and I have a radical idea: maybe Congress should stand up for ordinary people. Join us at noon today on Twitter as we launch our legislation to protect consumers and take on the greed of the big banks. https://t.co/3eLeok1LB7 — PolitiTweet.org

At a time when climate change is the greatest crisis facing the planet, Microsoft and Google are making billion dollar deals with the fossil fuel industry. Our job: Break our addiction to fossil fuels and transform our energy system toward sustainable sources of energy. https://t.co/gkAxU7Tniw — PolitiTweet.org

I urge Catalyst Pharmaceuticals to respond to this FDA decision by lowering its own outrageous prices. No patient should worry about whether they will suffer or die just to increase the obscene profits of a pharmaceutical company. https://t.co/FbnddEn6zx — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I went to the the National Archives, where our Constitution is housed, to say to @realDonaldTrump: You are not a dictator and you must obey the Constitution. https://t.co/tgYruw0AQA — PolitiTweet.org

By withdrawing from the Iran nuclear agreement, a move opposed by his own top security officials, Trump has isolated the U.S. from its closest allies and put us on a dangerous path to conflict. We should rejoin the deal and work with allies to effectively enforce it. — PolitiTweet.org

The House Judiciary Committee is doing the right thing by voting to hold Mr. Barr in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena. No Attorney General is above the law. Mr. Barr must testify—the American people have a right to know. https://t.co/3cEBzoUrva — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Uber and Lyft drivers are struggling as they work for billion-dollar companies. These drivers are not “independent contractors”—they are employees who deserve rights and benefits. I stand in solidarity with them as they strike today for a dignified life. https://t.co/Cl6Srk0qD2 — PolitiTweet.org

There's no doubt in my mind that Sandra Bland, like too many African Americans who die in police custody, would be alive today if she were a white woman. I support her family’s call for a renewed investigation into her arrest and death. https://t.co/Zjyn5Isism — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This blatant and unconstitutional attack on women's rights must be stopped. Women have a fundamental right to control their own bodies and futures. https://t.co/YXgFTmQYj2 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Monopolies are harming the livelihoods of rural Americans. A handful of companies dominate the markets for seeds, equipment, meat packing, and patents. We need to put an end to corporate mergers and break up Big Ag so family farmers can get a fair shake. https://t.co/JMHRuZ5jkv — PolitiTweet.org

Ady Barkan has health insurance but is still facing $9,000 a month in out-of-pocket medical expenses. He is dying from a terrible neurological disease and using the time he has left to testify before Congress. When we enact Medicare for All, it will be because of heroes like Ady. https://t.co/dBhiSZ8Rxo — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Unlike Donald Trump, most Americans do not believe that a free press is "the enemy of the people." I am delighted that Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were released from a Myanmar prison after 500 days in prison. https://t.co/HYibObPwPg — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Congratulations to the advocates in Oregon who won a major victory today. The right to a clean environment is more important than the short-term profits of the fossil fuel industry. Our job: break our addiction to fossil fuels, not increase our dependence on fracked natural gas. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I am so grateful to America's nurses. Nurses are the backbone of our health care system and it is no wonder Americans trust them more than any other profession. They deserve tremendous respect and support from all of us. https://t.co/RNLj3MLX2j — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We must combat oligarchy. A new study shows that the top 10% now own 70% of the wealth, while the bottom half have virtually no net wealth at all. We need an economy that works for all, not just the few. https://t.co/jTVeLlaH9U — PolitiTweet.org
