The foundations of American democracy are threatened not only by extremism, but by ignorance and lack of knowledge. It is hard to ask people to have faith in their government when they have little understanding of what their government is trying to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

There's been endless stories about the role of the president, the conflicts in the House and Senate, the opposition of two senators, the size of the bill, etc. – but very limited coverage of what the provisions of the bill are and the crises for working people that they address. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Why is that? There are a number of reasons, but at the top of the list is the reality that the mainstream media has done an exceptionally poor job in covering what actually is in the legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Poll after poll shows overwhelming support for the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better legislation. Yet, polling also shows that a majority of Americans have very little knowledge as to what is in this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

88% believe we should lower prescription drug costs 84% think we should expand Medicare 73% support establishing Paid Family and Medical Leave 67% want universal Pre-K Here's a radical idea - let's listen to the American people. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I proudly stand in solidarity with every single worker who is right now fighting to build an economy based on human needs, not corporate greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In order to address the long-neglected needs of the working class and combat the existential threat of climate change, we proposed a $6 trillion bill. $3.5 trillion is already a compromise. https://t.co/dU6t3mrN1v — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

How long will we continue to ignore the destructive forces of climate change? How many more people have to suffer the consequences of our inaction? Enough is enough. We must combat climate change NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

How is it that we have trillions of dollars to spend on endless wars, but we don’t have the money to address the needs of the working class? How is it that we have money for tax breaks for billionaires, but not enough to invest in American families? Give me a break. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Now is the time to restore the faith of the American people in their government, to show them that we in fact can deliver for them, that we can improve their lives. Let’s take on the lobbyists. Let’s take on the billionaires and powerful interests. Let’s get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I think it is a little absurd that the United States is the only major country on Earth not to guarantee paid family and medical leave as a right. Don’t you? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The top 1% now has more wealth than the entire middle class. Does that make sense to anyone? Yes. It’s time for Congress to take on the greed of the billionaires and deliver for the working class of this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A recent poll found that 83% of Americans support allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices. The American people are making themselves pretty clear. Congress needs to stand up to the greed of the pharmaceutical industry. Now is the time. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Question: Given the overwhelming support of the reconciliation bill from the American people, why is it taking so long for Congress to pass this bill? Answer: Follow the money. https://t.co/x9L6NJOntR — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Now is the time, finally, for Congress to stand up for working families and take on the big money interests and wealthy campaign contributors who have so much power over the economic and political life of our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

As part of the Reconciliation Bill, Americans want to lower prescription drug costs (88%) and expand Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing (84%). Both proposals are strongly opposed by drug companies and private insurance. The Dems must stand with the people, not fold. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Who wants Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices? Oh just... 91% of Democrats 85% of Independents 76% of Republicans 84% of seniors Now is the time for Congress to finally have the courage to stand up to the greed of Big Pharma. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We must stand up to a corrupt oligarchy. It is not acceptable that the top 1% now owns more wealth than our entire middle class. We must pass the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better Act, invest in the working class & take on the greed of the billionaires by taxing the rich. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

From the first days of this country, Native Americans were lied to, their treaties violated and their rights ignored. Today on #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we recommit to stand with them in the fight for justice and dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Maybe, just maybe, Congress might want to serve the needs of the American people, and not wealthy campaign contributors. A new CBS poll finds overwhelming support for these provisions in the $3.5T Reconciliation Bill. https://t.co/SUsaLMflMu — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Americans don't know what's in the Build Back Better plan because the corporate media doesn't discuss it. Let's stop the beltway gossip and start talking about lowering prescription drug costs, expanding Medicare, childcare and housing – and combatting climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Pharma has spent hundreds of millions opposing our efforts to lower prescription drug costs. Meanwhile, the six major drug companies made $50 billion in profits last year and pay their CEOs outrageous salaries. We must stop Pharma greed and pass the Reconciliation Bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill is enormously popular. A recent Quinnipiac University Poll shows 57 percent of the American people support it, including 92 percent of Democrats. Obviously it is exactly the bill that a Democratic Congress should pass. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The majority of the American people support the $3.5T reconciliation bill. 48 out of 50 Democrats in the Senate support the bill. 96% of Democrats in the House support the bill. No. Two people cannot sabotage what the overwhelming majority of this country want. — PolitiTweet.org
