As we combat a deadly pandemic that caused a level of economic suffering we’ve not seen in this country since the Great Depression, we cannot allow families to be thrown out on the street. Today’s extension of the eviction moratorium is life-changing news for millions of people. — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot allow people to be thrown onto the streets. We must extend the eviction moratorium. https://t.co/BoyrZPuHFY — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate will soon begin considering a transformational piece of legislation. I'm on the floor NOW giving remarks about what's in it. https://t.co/6TNUDHDXS4 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It’s outrageous that in the middle of a deadly pandemic the eviction moratorium has ended. I’m proud to stand with… https://t.co/ZkE6Ux2pWV — PolitiTweet.org

Elle Purrier St. Pierre, the Montgomery, Vermont dairy farmer, advanced tonight to the women's 1,500-meter semifinal in Tokyo. Congratulations, Elle. Vermont is rooting for you! — PolitiTweet.org

Less than 0.004% of fully vaccinated people had a breakthrough case that led to hospitalization and less than 0.001% of fully vaccinated people died from a breakthrough Covid-19 case. GET VACCINATED. https://t.co/wGu4sUpSmA — PolitiTweet.org

Rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure is important. Addressing the long-neglected needs of working families is even more important. And we MUST address the existential threat of climate change. There can be no infrastructure bill without a reconciliation bill. — PolitiTweet.org

If you paid $20 to mail a Federal Express package overnight, you paid more to Federal Express than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years after making over $8.2 billion in profits. Yes, we are going to demand that companies like FedEx pay their fair share of taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It’s a disgrace that the eviction moratorium is about to expire. Rent is due tomorrow. In case anyone forgot, we've been going through a deadly pandemic that caused an economic crisis. We can’t allow families to be thrown out on the street. Congress and the White House must act. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1965, half of seniors over the age of 65 had no medical insurance. The passage of Medicare 56 years ago today ended that injustice. Now is the time to lower the Medicare eligibility age to at least 60 and expand the program to include dental, vision, and hearing care. — PolitiTweet.org

I had the honor of serving with Carl in the Senate for a number of years. He was a man of intelligence, decency and commitment. Jane and I send our condolences to the Levin family. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time of unprecedented heatwaves, drought, flooding, extreme weather, and the acidification of the oceans, now is the time for us to make certain that the planet we leave future generations is healthy and habitable. That means finally standing up to the fossil fuel industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We are going to end the days of billionaires not paying a nickel in federal income taxes. https://t.co/QY6pPr5WLl — PolitiTweet.org

Mike was a very decent human being. He will be missed. Jane and I send our condolences to the Enzi family. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Senator Mike Enzi’s untimely death. I served as the Ranking Member of the Budget Committee which Mike chaired for several years. I always found him to be friendly, civil and fair to all, regardless of their political views. — PolitiTweet.org

The Civilian Climate Corps will provide good jobs and educational benefits to hundreds of thousands of young people who will lead the fight against climate change and help save the planet. Let's get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today marks 12 YEARS since the last increase in the federal minimum wage. Is it really a shock that a full-time worker making minimum wage in 2021 can’t afford rent ANYWHERE in the U.S.? It's time to end starvation wages and raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

What would be considered abnormal in every other advanced country on earth?   Medical debt Deductibles Unpaid family leave No paid sick days No paid vacation Unaffordable childcare Billionaires paying nothing in taxes   It is time to make all of these things abnormal in the USA. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

To anybody out there that thinks that climate change is not real, I beg of you, just open your eyes. We are seeing more and more climate disasters every day. We must come together and take on the existential threat of climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Republicans are getting very nervous because we’re fighting for an extremely popular set of proposals that are long overdue. Let’s get it done. https://t.co/D1TP9jEQMl — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Our reconciliation bill, if passed, will be the most consequential piece of legislation for working people, the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor since FDR and the New Deal of the 1930s. I’m live NOW with Rep. Ro Khanna to discuss the details. https://t.co/Rfi0T92S01 — PolitiTweet.org

In the richest country in the history of the world, poverty is a death sentence. We’re holding a hearing NOW on declining life expectancy for working Americans. https://t.co/u8i255fDfV — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The future of working families is at stake. The future of our democracy is at stake. The future of our planet is at stake. Now is the time. https://t.co/BAasE7ZVaL — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Am I supposed to be impressed that a billionaire went to space while he’s paid zero in federal income taxes some years and the workers at his company struggle to afford their medical bills, rent, and food for their kids? Nope. It’s time to invest in working people here on Earth. https://t.co/F1NVBPu6TJ — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let us celebrate when we: - Eradicate poverty - Provide health care for all - Abolish homelessness - Combat climate change - Provide Universal Pre-K   Let us not celebrate when: - Billionaires who avoid taxes and exploit workers take a vacation to outer space. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Framers gave the power to declare war to Congress, but over many years it has allowed its oversight authority to wane. We are LIVE introducing major legislation to reassert that constitutional power. https://t.co/EoJuKFB8pV — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This legislation is an important step toward reasserting that constitutional power, and I hope it will lead to a larger discussion, both in the Congress and among the public, about the uses of military force in our foreign policy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Framers gave that power to Congress, the branch most accountable to the people, but over many years Congress has allowed its oversight authority to wane and executive power to expand. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Article I of the Constitution clearly states that it is Congress, not the president, which has the power to declare war. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I believe that we have become far too comfortable with the United States engaging in military interventions all over the world, and the time is long overdue for Congress to reassert its constitutional role in matters of war and peace. — PolitiTweet.org
