The greatest weapon our opponents have is not just their unlimited wealth and power. It is their ability to create a culture that makes us feel weak and hopeless and diminishes the strength of human solidarity. We cannot let them succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Here is our new year’s resolution. Like the thousands of workers who stood up and fought courageously in 2021, we will do the same. No one individual is going to save us. We must rise up together. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Maybe, just maybe, in the richest country in the history of the world people should be able to afford the drugs prescribed by their doctor. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Call me radical, but I happen to believe that no one should have to work more than 1 job to live with dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump wants to do here what Orban has done in Hungary: weaken democratic institutions, curb press freedom, and rewrite election laws to entrench his own party’s power. The threat to our democracy could not be clearer, and we must act boldly to protect it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Some people ask, “Well, Bernie, how can we afford to act on climate change?” The real question is: how can we afford NOT to act while climate change causes so much destruction and suffering? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

21 states and 35 cities and counties raised their minimum wage today. The overwhelming majority of the American people understand that we must end starvation wages in America. Congress must act and raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Jane and I want to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a safe and healthy new year. 2022 is not a time for despair or cynicism. Now is a time for hard work. Now is a time to stand up and fight for the country that we know we can become. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Unless we act boldly and quickly to take on the existential threat of climate change, we will see irreparable harm done to this planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

When you have an extremely profitable, well-financed corporation owned by one of the wealthiest guys in the world, you know what? You should not be demanding wage cuts from your workers and cuts in their health care benefits. That’s just wrong. https://t.co/JSZakud3Ry — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This pandemic has shown us clearly the vulgarity of our healthcare "system." Highest costs in the world, yet not enough nurses or doctors. Many millions uninsured, while insurance company profits soar. The struggle continues. Healthcare is a human right. Medicare for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Harry Reid was an outstanding leader and a friend. I have fond memories of working with him on important issues impacting working families, including the vast expansion of community health centers. Jane and I will miss him and send our condolences to Landra and the entire family. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

During this horrific pandemic, which has taken over 800,000 American lives, corporate profits are soaring, and the billionaire class has become much wealthier. In fact, income and wealth inequality today is higher than at any time in the last 100 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The expansion of the child tax credit this year has reduced child poverty in America by 40%. Incredible! But, if Build Back Better is not passed, that provision will soon expire and millions of children will be plunged back into poverty. Pathetic! — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This pandemic makes it clear how dysfunctional our healthcare system is. Not only do we pay the highest prices in the world, we can’t even produce the number of doctors and nurses that we desperately need. Let us not give up the struggle for Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

As we face the rapidly spreading omicron variant, we should remember that not all face masks are created equal. Congress must demand the mass production and distribution of N-95 masks, the most effective way to stop the spread of the Covid virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Archbishop Tutu helped end apartheid in South Africa by reminding us, “if you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” We remember this hero as we continue the work for equality and justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Jane and I wish you and yours a very safe and merry Christmas. I am absolutely confident that, as we stand together, we will defeat this pandemic and move our country and world forward toward peace, justice and environmental sanity. Keep the faith. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It’s time for the American people to understand which side their senators are on. No more excuses. No more delays. It’s time for the U.S. Senate to vote. https://t.co/OdJi1W4B7t — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I wrote a letter today with @SenatorLeahy and Rep. @PeterWelch to Postmaster DeJoy about the Postal Service’s continued failure to meet its own standards of service in VT. Postal employees are working remarkably hard and DeJoy must provide them with the equipment they need. https://t.co/vZY7cmC90c — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Given the serious crisis and total failure of leadership at the United States Postal Service, I am urging President Biden to demand the immediate resignation of Louis DeJoy as Postmaster General. https://t.co/j8oQGRzLaE — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

When I was in high school and college I ran the mile and cross-country and loved track and field. So it has been a lot of fun for me personally to watch Elle's incredible achievements and to cheer her on. Like many other Vermonters I look forward to seeing what Elle does next. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Did you know Vermont is home to one of the most outstanding athletes in the country? Meet Elle Purrier St. Pierre, born and raised in Vermont, an Olympian, the holder of the U.S. women's one-mile and two-mile record, and a proud Vermont dairy farmer. https://t.co/z7LNZxmacK — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I applaud President Biden for once again pausing federal student loan payments for 45 million Americans. Now let’s cancel it. All of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Does Congress have the guts to take on the drug companies who are spending over $300 million in lobbying? Do we have the guts to take on the insurance companies who don't want us to expand Medicare? Do we have the guts to take on the fossil fuel industry to save the planet? https://t.co/X1FcATOEDn — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Everybody in America must understand that the scientists are telling us we have very little time to transform our energy system away from fossil fuels to prevent future disasters. The time to address the climate crisis is NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The time is now for the Democratic Party to restore faith with the American people and show them that we are prepared to take on the powerful to address the long neglected needs of the working class. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We cannot keep talking and talking. It's time for Senate Democrats to bring a strong, comprehensive bill to the floor for a vote. https://t.co/MsvCdvldGY — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Millions of people around the world are already experiencing the devastating effects of climate change. The price of waiting until it is too late to address the climate crisis is far greater than the cost of coming together to combat climate change NOW. We must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Sen. Joe Manchin should explain to the people of West Virginia why he doesn’t have the courage to stand up to special interests. https://t.co/TDRhGKnQHL — PolitiTweet.org
