Unfettered capitalism is the Charles Koch family becoming $37 billion richer during a horrific pandemic while using their fortune not to alleviate homelessness or end child hunger in America, but to evict working families facing economic desperation from their homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Workers around the country are fighting for dignity on the job and making history. It is because of them that raising the minimum wage to a living wage is no longer a radical idea. I'm proud to stand with them – always. https://t.co/NDXDZoxbBH — PolitiTweet.org

Let us hope that the ceasefire in Gaza holds. But that's not enough. Our job now is to support desperately needed humanitarian and reconstruction aid to Gaza’s people, and find a way to finally bring peace to the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

To understand this war, we must understand what the Palestinian people have been enduring under blockade and occupation. I believe we must stand in solidarity with those Palestinians and Israelis working to build a future of equality and peaceful coexistence. https://t.co/ehGddvsVS5 — PolitiTweet.org

Our health care system is dysfunctional in many ways, but one of the most critical is that we are facing a major doctor shortage. We're holding a hearing NOW on what Congress can do about it. https://t.co/qEzjIo6O3a — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I believe that the United States must help lead the way to a peaceful and prosperous future for both Israelis and Palestinians. We need to take a hard look at whether the sale of these weapons is actually helping do that, or whether it is simply fueling conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a moment when U.S.-made bombs are devastating Gaza, and killing women and children, we cannot simply let another huge arms sale go through without even a Congressional debate. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm on the Senate floor NOW calling for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. https://t.co/LkHMQKU1zg — PolitiTweet.org

If we are serious about spending taxpayer dollars wisely and effectively, we've got to end the absurdity of the Pentagon being the only agency in the federal government that has not passed an independent audit ever in the history of the country. That is the very least we can do. — PolitiTweet.org

In Denmark, the average worker in McDonald's makes $22 an hour, receives 6 weeks of paid vacation, 1 year of paid family leave, life insurance and a pension. Yes. If McDonald's workers in Denmark can have a decent standard of living, we can do it in the U.S. #McDonaldsStrike — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

You better believe McDonald's can afford to pay all of its workers at least $15 an hour. I'm live NOW with workers who are striking today for dignity on the job. — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. has one of the highest rates of childhood poverty in the industrialized world. In the coming weeks, 39 million American families and 88 percent of children are going to get much needed relief in the form of monthly payments. It’s a good start, but we must do more. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Yes. We have to think big not small. Healthcare, lifelong education, affordable housing and a clean environment are human rights. In this pivotal moment in human history, we must lead the world in a new direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

While Republican leaders want to deny $300 a week in unemployment benefits to working families, they had no problem introducing a bill this year to repeal the estate tax that would give a $1.7 trillion tax break to wealthy families who inherit over $1 billion. Total hypocrisy! — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Unbelievable but true: The same Republicans who voted for trillions in tax breaks for the top 1% and large corporations, now want to increase taxes on working families through user fees, more toll roads and higher gas taxes while cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If the United States is going to be a credible voice on human rights on the global stage, we must uphold international standards of human rights consistently. We must recognize that Palestinian rights matter. Palestinian lives matter. https://t.co/W3Ufy4ccL1 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let's be clear. The problem in America is not that unemployed workers are receiving an extra $300 a week in emergency benefits during a horrific pandemic. The problem is that too many employers in America are exploiting their workers by paying starvation wages with no benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Republicans had no problem giving a $1.4 billion tax break to the Koch family worth $128 billion. But they just can't stand that an unemployed worker who lost a job during a pandemic is receiving an extra $300 a week in benefits to help pay the rent. Total hypocrisy! — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This is what happens when employers raise wages from $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour: A job "shortage" turns into a surge in job applications. It ain't complicated. There's no labor shortage in America. There's a shortage of employers willing to pay a living wage with good benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The role of the United States should be to bring the peoples of the region together, not simply to support a right-wing Israeli government. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

As President Biden considers his choice for Ambassador to Israel, I encourage him to choose someone who can represent our country in an even-handed way, and who can engage not only with Israel but with the Palestinians as well. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Democrats in Congress secured life-saving unemployment aid to workers so they wouldn’t have to go back to work for starvation wages or without childcare. I sent a letter to Labor Secretary Walsh today asking him to ensure Republican Governors do not strip that assistance away. https://t.co/Ik1TJatEZP — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

For too long, our government has worked only for the 1%. Sen. Mitch McConnell and his Republican friends want to keep it that way. Too bad. We are going to put the needs of working people first. https://t.co/Pl5gxE3Bmz — PolitiTweet.org

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.” – President Dwight D. Eisenhower https://t.co/PhMdYSqOrP — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Rep. Liz Cheney and I disagree on nearly every major issue. But she deserves credit for saying, "I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president’s crusade to undermine our democracy.” — PolitiTweet.org
