We cannot simply protect democracy. We must expand it, so that every person in America can participate in the political process. https://t.co/7urGF5KqtU — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The United States must call for an immediate cease-fire and an end to provocative and illegal settlement activity. And we must also recommit to working with Israelis and Palestinians to finally end this conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Israeli children should not have to spend the night scared in bomb shelters, as many are doing tonight. Palestinian children should not have to grow up under the constant violence and oppression of occupation, as so many do, and have done. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I am extremely concerned by the growing conflict in Israel and Palestine. Once again we are seeing how the irresponsible actions of government-allied right-wing extremists in Jerusalem can escalate quickly into devastating war. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Tomorrow, the Budget Committee, which I Chair, will be taking a hard look at waste, fraud and cost overruns at the Pentagon. Despite receiving $740 billion, the Pentagon remains the only agency in the federal government that cannot pass an independent audit. Not acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In the richest country in the world, it is an outrage that college students struggle with hunger every day. Enough is enough. We must eradicate hunger on college campuses. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This is a rigged economy. CEOs of companies that pay some of the lowest wages in America—often employing essential workers—saw their pay increase by an average of 29% in 2020. And the workers? A 2% decrease in pay in 2020. That is absurd. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The original vision of Medicare was to provide quality health care coverage to our nation’s seniors. @RepJayapal and I believe we must lower the eligibility age for Medicare to at least 60 and expand benefits to include dental, vision and hearing coverage. https://t.co/TiD1zbHoUk — PolitiTweet.org

Dealing with climate change now is not an "option." It's a necessity. If we do not lead the world in transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel, there will not only be irreparable harm to our planet but a huge economic cost. Now is the time for a Green New Deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The United States must speak out strongly against the violence by government-allied Israeli extremists in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, and make clear that the evictions of Palestinian families must not go forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Providing an extra $300 a week in unemployment benefits to low-income families living in desperation is not radical. What's radical is that 719 billionaires became $1.6 trillion richer during the pandemic while the $7.25 federal minimum wage has not been increased in 12 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

No. We don't need to end $300 a week in emergency unemployment benefits that workers desperately need. We need to end starvation wages in America. If $300 a week is preventing employers from hiring low-wage workers there's a simple solution: Raise your wages. Pay decent benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Mitch McConnell said that 100% of his focus is to oppose President Biden. Not 50%, not 80%, but 100%. If we're going to achieve anything meaningful for working families we must use reconciliation, abolish the filibuster and pass legislation with 51 votes. We can't afford to wait. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) will likely be voted off the House Republican Leadership. Her crime: acknowledging the reality that Trump lost the election. The Republican Party is no longer a "conservative" party. It is an anti-democratic cult pushing the Big Lie and conspiracy theories. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I applaud the Biden administration for taking this bold step to speed up the production and availability of coronavirus vaccines. I also recognize the dedicated work done by activists around the world to put this issue on the global agenda. We are all in this together. — PolitiTweet.org

The pharmaceutical industry could double the price of your medicine tomorrow. It is time for us to take on their greed, allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices and use the savings to cover dental, hearing aids and eye glasses. https://t.co/jgqxzDpxpK — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In this pivotal moment, if we have the courage to educate, organize and go forward, we will win this struggle. We must expand Medicare benefits and lower the age of Medicare eligibility in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Yes. It is time for the wealthy and large corporations to pay their fair share of taxes. https://t.co/7SPcLJIwFu — PolitiTweet.org

The labor union movement has led the fight for equal rights and economic and social justice. Today, May Day, we reflect on those struggles, and pledge our support to protecting workers’ rights and building an economy based on human needs, not corporate greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We are BEGINNING to create an economy that works for all. But more must be done. We must raise the minimum wage to $15, provide health care for all, lower prescription drug costs, forgive student debt and demand the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share of taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

“I want to hear. I want to see. I want to be able to eat and smile.” It’s time to expand Medicare to cover vision, hearing and dental care. https://t.co/WBp426PEEF — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Congress must finally stand up to the greed of the pharmaceutical industry. Medicare must negotiate prescription drug prices, and we must use the $450 billion in savings to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision. We must also lower Medicare age eligibility. — PolitiTweet.org
