It is a disgrace that at a time when authoritarianism, conspiracy theories and political violence are on the rise not a single Republican in the United States Senate has the courage to even debate whether we should protect American democracy or not. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I’m on my way to the Senate floor NOW to vote YES on the For the People Act. This is an important moment in the fight to protect our democracy, our elections, and the people's right to vote. https://t.co/uegrUeW6sc — PolitiTweet.org

No one in this country should have to wait in line for hours to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

If you paid $12.99 a month for an Amazon Prime membership, you paid more to Amazon than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years combined. On this #PrimeDay, let us stand with Amazon workers. Let us demand that billionaires pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I think the average American, whether you’re Democrat, Republican, or Independent, can agree there is something absurd about two people owning more wealth than the bottom 40% of America and billionaires paying NOTHING in federal income tax. — PolitiTweet.org

As we finally honor Juneteenth as a federal holiday, we must never forget the horrors of slavery and how they affect every aspect of our lives today. https://t.co/ChDLkbgqWC — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Yes. Climate change is real. It is already having a devastating impact in the U.S. and around the world, and it will only get worse. That is why any major "infrastructure" bill in Congress must include a massive investment in transforming our energy system away from fossil fuels. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday is an important moment in understanding our country's history, and the horrors and lasting legacy of slavery. But real justice is when all Black Americans live free of oppression. That is not the work of a single day, but of every day. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we have got to have government finally start standing with the working families of this country, not just the rich. That is what this budget is about. https://t.co/MbROtn6qAH — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

As Chairman of the Budget Committee, I believe that NOW is the time to address the long-term crises facing working families. And, yes. We can pay for many of these proposals by demanding that the wealthy and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

The court’s decision to not overturn the ACA and throw 31 million Americans off their health care is welcome. But it's not enough. Health care is a human right, not a privilege. We must join other major countries in guaranteeing health care for all and pass Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Disability rights are civil rights. It's time to #DemolishDisabledPoverty once and for all. We must expand SSI. — PolitiTweet.org

In the richest country in the history of the world, medical debt should not exist. — PolitiTweet.org

While 90 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured and while 600,000 died in the pandemic, the CEOs of six health insurance companies made a combined $236 million in 2020, 45% more than in 2019. This is why we need Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

After an unimaginably difficult year, today we celebrate Vermont reaching a major vaccination threshold. Let’s thank everyone working to keep our community safe. We must also ensure vulnerable Vermonters are protected after the state of emergency order is lifted. — PolitiTweet.org

Space travel, heavily funded by taxpayers, should not be a play thing for the very rich. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said it all. "What we have in the United States Senate is total unity from Susan Collins to Ted Cruz in opposition to what the new Biden administration is trying to do to this country.” That is precisely why we must end the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Last I heard, dental, hearing and vision are part of health care. We must expand Medicare to cover these basic services. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Income and wealth inequality is soaring, wages for workers have been stagnant for almost 50 years and some billionaires pay nothing in federal income taxes. Hey! Maybe it's time for the government to start representing the middle class, and not just the 1%. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This week, we couldn’t get any Senate Republicans to support legislation to guarantee equal pay for equal work. Do we really believe more time and more negotiations will get them to vote for an infrastructure package that truly addresses the crises we face? I don’t think so. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

For decades our government has stood up for the rich and the powerful. It’s time for the government to stand up for the working class of this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I don’t want to sound too partisan, but the Republican Party has made clear that they are not prepared to stand up for the American people and address the many crises facing working families today. We can get to work without them. https://t.co/nIHssvAEdq — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The time is now to massively invest in our infrastructure and create millions of good-paying union jobs in the process. https://t.co/73usECSdvn — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. must lead the way in crushing the coronavirus pandemic everywhere, and I’m pleased the Biden Administration has taken strong action to get more people vaccinated around the world. Everyone, rich or poor, deserves the right to get a life-saving Covid-19 vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org
