Republicans L-O-V-E to give tax breaks to billionaires and large corporations, so I understand why they might be a little shocked that we are finally going to invest in working families. It’s time to create an economy that works for all of us, not just the 1%. https://t.co/dG9oPwYxin — PolitiTweet.org

I've got a message for the healthcare industry: Your days of writing legislation are over. We will expand Medicare to provide dental, vision and hearing coverage to benefit seniors, not to pad the profits of healthcare industry CEOs. And we will do it by taking on your greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we mourn the loss of the members of the U.S. military killed at Kabul Airport. These soldiers played an extraordinary role in helping to evacuate over 80,000 people – Americans and Afghans. Their bravery and sacrifice will not be forgotten. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Nearly 18 million households are paying over 50% of their incomes on housing. That is absurd. It’s time for bold action. It’s time for an unprecedented investment in affordable housing. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The gap between the very rich and everybody else is wider than ever. Today, we have two people with more wealth than the bottom 40% and, incredibly, during the pandemic, billionaires have seen their wealth surge, while workers on the frontlines are paid starvation wages. ENOUGH. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Congratulations to Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats for passing the $3.5 trillion Budget Resolution. Now, let us move forward aggressively to transform this country by passing both the Reconciliation Bill and the Infrastructure Bill. Working families are counting on us. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Unless Congress passes the reconciliation bill, the $300 monthly checks sent to every working family in America will expire in December. We cannot let that happen. These checks are a big reason why childhood poverty in America has been cut by 61%. No reconciliation bill, no deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Unless we pass the reconciliation bill: -Seniors won't get dental, vision, hearing & home care -Drug prices will soar -Families will be denied $300 a month per kid -Climate change will worsen. -Families won't receive childcare & affordable housing No reconciliation, no deal — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Since 2009, 45% of all new income has gone into the hands of the wealthiest 1%. Is that acceptable to you? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Rebuilding our crumbling physical infrastructure is very important. Rebuilding our human infrastructure, the needs of working families, the children, the elderly and the sick, is more important. No bipartisan infrastructure bill without the reconciliation bill. They go together. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The cost of going to a dentist has gone up by more than 80 percent since 1990. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A huge fire in Siberia is casting smoke for 3,000 miles. Greece: burning. California: burning. Oregon: burning. July 2021 was the hottest month ever recorded. We must combat climate change now. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In the past, the disasters we are seeing around the world might have seemed like an absurd plot in some apocalypse movie. Unfortunately, this is our new reality, and it will only get much worse in years to come if we do not act boldly – now. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We live in a time where many Americans have lost faith that their government can work for them. How do we combat that? We start by passing the most consequential piece of legislation for working people, the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor since FDR and the New Deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

61 million kids received direct payments of up to $300 in August from the expanded Child Tax Credit. That is no small thing. It’s how we start to end the international embarrassment of the U.S. having one of the highest rates of childhood poverty of any major country. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Republicans used the budget process to give trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the wealthy and powerful. We’re going to use it a little bit differently and finally invest in the long-neglected needs of the working class. https://t.co/T5HUfGRP0y — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Foreign policy matters: After 20 years of U.S. effort, the loss of 2,448 soldiers and a trillion spent, Afghanistan was left with a corrupt government and an ineffectual military.  At this moment, we must do everything we can to evacuate our allies and open our doors to refugees. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

86 years ago, FDR signed Social Security into law. Since then, through good times and bad, Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American on time and without delay. Our job now is to expand, not cut, Social Security so that everyone can retire in dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If you think that the forest fires in Oregon, California, Montana, and elsewhere are an aberration, that they are once-in-a-lifetime, you are dead wrong. If we do not come together to address climate change NOW, it will be too late. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is time to end the international disgrace of the United States being the only major country on Earth not to guarantee paid family and medical leave as a right. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, 18 million households spend 50 percent of their limited incomes on housing. How does that make any sense? We must build low-income and affordable housing, and when we do that, we will create a heck of a lot of good-paying jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

July was the hottest month EVER recorded on Earth. I'm growing tired of many people – especially my Republican friends – asking, “how can we afford to act on climate change?” The real question is: how can we afford NOT to? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time when corporate profits are soaring, when major corporations are making billions a year while not paying a nickel in federal income tax, we are going to end the grotesque greed of the obscenely wealthy. We are going to demand that they pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Our government can and must work for the working class. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Huge fires in Siberia with smoke spreading more than 3,000 miles. Major fires in Greece, California and Oregon. Heat wave in Italy. Increased drought throughout the planet.  We're in this together. The entire world must unite to combat climate change. There is no choice. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In America, I have met with low-income women who give birth and then have to go back to work in a week or two because they don't have the money to stay home. We are going to end that international embarrassment. We are going to have guaranteed paid family and medical leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In real inflation accounted-for dollars, many workers today are not making a nickel more than they did 50 years ago. Half of our people are living paycheck to paycheck. In the richest country in the history of the world, that is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I understand that Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is shocked that for once in a very long time the Congress is going to stand with working families and not on the side of the rich and powerful. As he has made very clear, his philosophy is the polar opposite. https://t.co/9gWgY20N3K — PolitiTweet.org
