We must support Ukraine’s democracy while working toward a realistic resolution that will prevent a devastating war. — PolitiTweet.org

No one should be dying in the United States of America because they cannot afford their prescription drugs. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Ryan Cochran-Siegle of Vermont for winning silver in the super-G for the USA at the Beijing Olympics! Your perseverance is an inspiration to people across Vermont and the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Corporate greed is Netflix making a record-breaking $5.1 billion profit, giving its CEO $43 million in total compensation, avoiding over $1 billion in taxes and paying a 1.1% effective federal income tax rate – a lower tax rate than a nurse, teacher or truck driver. #TaxTheRich — PolitiTweet.org

Insulin in the United States should not cost 10 times what it costs in Canada. — PolitiTweet.org

If you're experiencing mail delays, you're not alone. It’s time to strengthen the Postal Service, not dismantle it. It’s time to stand up for the dedicated postal workers clocking 12-hour shifts, seven days a week for their communities. https://t.co/3SIhoWgQan — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Are you prepared to stand up to the pharmaceutical industry? Are you prepared to stand up to the fossil fuel industry? Are you prepared to stand up to the ruling class? If you are prepared to do all of that, then together we can create a nation that is based on justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Life expectancy is in direct correlation to income. If you are poor in this country, you can expect to live 15 years LESS than if you are rich. To my mind, that is ABSURD. We must build a health care system and economy that work for all of us, not just a few. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

To all the Olympians representing Vermont at the 2022 Winter Olympics: Congratulations and good luck! Representing our state and country in the Olympics is no small accomplishment and is a testament to the hard work and discipline of each of you. https://t.co/4DIu26y93O — PolitiTweet.org

CEOs now make over 350 times as much as their average employees. Maybe, just maybe, we can create an economy based on human needs, not greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We must make it easier, not harder, for all workers to form a union. That includes Congressional Staff. I stand in solidarity with Congressional staff working to form a union. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

What do I mean by a rigged economy? In the United States today, 745 billionaires now own more wealth than the bottom 60% of all our people combined. Enough. It's time to put working people first. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

There will be no real social progress in this country unless we have the courage to take on Wall Street, the insurance companies, the drug companies, the fossil fuel industry, and all other forces of greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A nurse should not pay more in federal taxes than a billionaire. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

New moms in Denmark: guaranteed 126 days of paid leave. New moms in Canada: guaranteed 119 days of paid leave. New moms in France: guaranteed 112 days of paid leave. New moms in the United States: guaranteed ZERO days of paid leave. We must end this international embarrassment. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The choice is simple: Will we stand with the working class to guarantee paid family leave, expand Medicare, and address the climate crisis, or will Congress, yet again, do the bidding of powerful special interests? I choose to stand with the working class. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Call me a radical, but I happen to believe that a job should lift workers out of poverty – not keep them in it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

When you have a proposal that has the overwhelming support of the American people, we can't allow that to die. If some Senators choose to side with corporate America, that's their business. But for me, and I think millions of Americans, it's time to fight for working families. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The American people are asking: who does Congress represent? 84% of the American people support expanding Medicare to include dental, vision, and hearing care. We must deliver. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In this very difficult moment, when we’re trying to prevent the destruction of American democracy, when we’re trying to save the planet, when we’re trying to protect working families, now is the time, more than ever before, to be clear on what we stand for. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The American people want the big money industries to start paying their fair share of taxes. They understand that it is absurd that 2 people own more wealth than the bottom 40%, and that the gap between the very rich and everyone else is wider than it has been in 100 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

There is something profoundly wrong in America when a company like Exelan can raise the price of a generic drug to treat high blood pressure (lisinopril) by 536% to as much as $550. How many more Americans have to die and suffer before Congress has the guts to end this greed? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Interesting article. Is Mr. Cooperman an evil man? No. Has he worked hard for his money? Yes. Can we create a system more rational & humane than one in which a billionaire sits at a computer screen & makes millions while people nearby go hungry? We must. https://t.co/5VLq9VB452 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

64% of the American people support creating good-paying jobs by making investments in clean energy and preparing for extreme weather events.   The question is clear: will we stand with the American people or will Congress protect the interests of the fossil fuel industry? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

LIVE: Join me and U.S. Fire Administrator Dr. Lori Moore-Merrell as we hear from Vermont firefighters and EMS providers about the challenges they face and how the federal, state, and local government can support their service to our communities. https://t.co/anZGCBlDAa — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

83% of the American people support empowering the federal government to negotiate with the pharmaceutical industry to lower prescription drug prices.    Let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The United States is the only major country on Earth not to guarantee paid family and medical leave. 73% of the American people want that to change. What are we waiting for? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time when 71% of the American people support raising income taxes on the top 2 percent and 65% of our people want to increase taxes on large corporations, it is time to take on the greed of the ruling class. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I’m LIVE now at the Progressive Strategy Summit to discuss the path forward for an agenda that finally meets the needs of the working class. — PolitiTweet.org
