Firenados in northern California. Ocean fires in the Gulf of Mexico. Subway waterfalls in New York City. A heat dome in the Northwest melting power cables, killing hundreds and frying marine animals. I have been told that combatting climate change is expensive. Compared to what? — PolitiTweet.org

Since 2016, 14 top pharmaceutical companies spent $577 billion on stock buybacks and dividends – $56 billion more than research and development. We must lower the outrageous price of prescription drugs in budget reconciliation and use the savings to expand Medicare with 51 votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

You will forgive me for not having a lot of patience when some of my colleagues in the Senate tell me that we can’t afford to act on climate change. Really? The question that we must be asking, as loudly as possible, is how we can afford not to act? — PolitiTweet.org

On this Fourth of July, let us recommit to building a future that works for all of us, not just the few. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

89% of Democrats & 79% of Republicans support expanding Medicare to include dental, hearing & vision care. 86% of Democrats & 70% of Republicans support providing seniors with home health care. This is what real bipartisanship looks like, even if all Republicans in DC vote no. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

During the 1930s, as part of FDR's New Deal we electrified the nation. In the 1960s, we sent a man to the moon as part of JFK's space program. Today, we must combat climate change and lead the world away from fossil fuels. We cannot fail. The future of the planet is at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Millions of Americans cannot see well enough to walk across their living room, can’t hear well enough to engage in a conversation, or can’t chew food properly because their teeth are in such bad shape due to the cost of basic care. We must expand Medicare NOW. https://t.co/Akc6TKOQOV — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If Mitch McConnell could abolish the filibuster to appoint 3 extreme right wing Supreme Court justices who just voted to gut the Voting Rights Act, you know what? Democrats can and should abolish the filibuster to save democracy and make it easier, not harder, for people to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Why is it that in the richest country in the history of the world we leave our seniors to suffer? We must expand Medicare to cover eyeglasses, hearing aids and dental. https://t.co/8EVEWa74xL — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Look at what is happening in the Pacific Northwest right now. If we do not significantly invest in transforming our energy system, future generations will never forgive us. https://t.co/OfcpLoXppa — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The time is now to expand Medicare to cover hearing aids, eyeglasses, and dental visits. https://t.co/EdiK9kNTO9 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

For those who say the budget framework I proposed costs "too much" what would you cut? Combatting climate change? Childcare? Universal Pre-K? Paid family & medical leave? Dental, hearing & vision? Housing? Long-term home health care? Child Tax Credit? Waiting... — PolitiTweet.org

Now is the time to lower the Medicare eligibility age. https://t.co/mr3lwdQ9MD — PolitiTweet.org

The most severe heat in Pacific Northwest history is underway. Predicted to be “historic, dangerous, prolonged and unprecedented,” by the National Weather Service, it’s already rewriting the record books. Yes. We have to act BOLDLY to address climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let me be clear: There will not be a bipartisan infrastructure deal without a reconciliation bill that substantially improves the lives of working families and combats the existential threat of climate change. No reconciliation bill, no deal. We need transformative change NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Jane and I are saddened by the passing of Sen. Mike Gravel. He was dedicated to ending forever wars and bringing more Americans into the political process. His courage will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with his loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

"The only complaint I’ve ever heard from our members that are able to transfer over to Medicare is that they wish they could have done it sooner,” says @BMWEDIBT Director of Safety Roy Morrison. The time is NOW to lower the eligibility age for Medicare. https://t.co/EvsmAfPsj9 — PolitiTweet.org

Medicare must negotiate drug prices and we must substantially lower drug prices for all Americans through the budget reconciliation process. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

No. There's absolutely no way Biogen should be allowed to charge patients $56,000 for the new Alzheimer's drug – costing Medicare up to $29 billion a year. We must take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Eye glasses, hearing aids, and dentist visits are health care. Period. It’s time to expand Medicare so millions of Americans can live in dignity. https://t.co/J4B5QJ2DLk — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Elle Purrier St. Pierre of Montgomery, Vermont on qualifying for the Olympics. Elle, a graduate of Richford High School and UNH, is headed to the summer games in Tokyo after breaking a 32-year-old record in the 1,500 meters Olympic trials. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Now is the time for majority rule in the Senate. We must end the filibuster, pass sweeping voting rights legislation, and protect our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

There’s no issue in front of Congress right now that is more critical for the future of our country than protecting the fundamental right of every American to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

All because they are loyal to the Big Lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 election. He didn’t win. He lost. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Meanwhile, in state houses and governor’s mansions across the country Republicans are shamefully working overtime to make it harder for poor people, people of color, young people and people with disabilities to participate in the American democratic system. — PolitiTweet.org
