Today, I am introducing the Raise the Wage Act with my colleagues to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour. The time for talk is over. No more excuses. We can no longer tolerate millions of workers making starvation wages. Watch our press conference here: https://t.co/qLgLGz0joz — PolitiTweet.org

What concerns me as much as anything is that half our people are living paycheck to paycheck. Millions of people are trying to survive on starvation wages. It’s morally imperative that we raise the minimum wage to a living wage that’s at least $15 an hour. https://t.co/VBysQzUgcr — PolitiTweet.org

Minimum wage in Australia: $19.84 an hour Unemployment rate in Australia: 6.6% U.S. federal minimum wage: $7.25 an hour U.S. unemployment rate: 6.7% Please don't tell me raising the minimum wage to a living wage - at least $15 an hour - costs jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Not long ago, people said a $15 minimum wage was unthinkable. But a grassroots movement refused to take no for an answer. Today, the President's order begins raising the minimum wage to $15/hour for federal contractors. Now, Congress must pass a $15 living wage for ALL workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans have used reconciliation for oil drilling in the arctic refuge and to pass trillions in tax breaks for the wealthy and the powerful by a simple majority vote. We can and we must do the same to raise the minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. https://t.co/9aHFOFc84G — PolitiTweet.org

I don't know what "meeting in the middle" means when scientists say we only have a few years to address climate change or face irreparable harm. Of course I want to work with Republicans—but we have got to aggressively respond to the enormous crises facing working families. https://t.co/wMHJglLI7x — PolitiTweet.org

I welcome these remarks from Secretary-Designate Blinken. Congress must work in a bipartisan way with the new administration to finally end the horrific war in Yemen, and ensure that no president can ever again engage in unconstitutional wars. — PolitiTweet.org

When the GOP controlled the Senate, they passed trillions in tax breaks largely to the top 1% and multinational corporations by a simple majority vote through reconciliation. We must use the same process to protect working families, the sick and the poor. https://t.co/WxXvYNsrJG — PolitiTweet.org

President-Elect Biden's COVID rescue plan will begin to provide our people with much-needed support, such as $2,000 direct payments and a $15 minimum wage. I look forward to working with him and my colleagues in Congress to urgently provide bold relief to working families. https://t.co/i8wS5180bB — PolitiTweet.org

Veterans Affairs' single-payer program pays half as much as Medicare for the exact same drugs. There's absolutely no reason for this—other than greed. Congress must take on the pharmaceutical industry and make Medicare negotiate lower drug prices NOW. https://t.co/naANAW2Cvg — PolitiTweet.org

No mother should have to go through this. A vial of insulin costs about $5 to make. Yet people with diabetes are dying because drug companies charge as much as $540 per vial in the U.S. https://t.co/iRd8n2AA27 — PolitiTweet.org

In the past, Republicans used budget reconciliation to pass massive tax breaks for the rich and large corporations with a simple majority vote. As the incoming Chairman of the Budget Committee, I will fight to use the same process to boldly address the needs of working families. — PolitiTweet.org

140,000 workers lost their jobs last month & real unemployment is close to 12%. Millions more face hunger, eviction & crushing debt. In the midst of this economic desperation, Congress must act boldly & aggressively. As the next Budget Committee Chair, that's what I intend to do. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
It is an outrage that over 1 million workers who lost jobs during the pandemic haven't received the benefits they earned and deserve. We must make it easier, not harder, for workers to receive these benefits. And, yes, the working class needs $2,000 a month until the crisis ends. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden will be President at noon on January 20. Republican attempts to overturn the election only demonstrate their disdain for voters, democracy and the will of the American people. https://t.co/CPvltdCom1 — PolitiTweet.org

Over the past four days, I have asked—time and again—for a vote on $2,000 payments that Trump, Biden, two-thirds of the House (including 44 Republicans), and 78% of the public support. Tragically, Republican leadership has turned its back on the working families of this country. https://t.co/Cg2n5c0iKh — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans think I don’t do much for them, but I’m trying to bring Mitch McConnell’s bill to the floor! All I ask is we also vote on the House-passed bill for $2,000 survival checks. It’s hard for me to understand why Republicans would object to voting on a Republican bill. https://t.co/5R72VDRzQr — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Amazon made $10.8 billion in profits, didn't pay a dime in federal taxes, and got a $129 million check from the IRS—courtesy of Mitch McConnell and the Republican Senate. But as our people suffer, a $2,000 check to the working class is "socialism for the rich"? Give me a break. https://t.co/lpj2sD9Aev — PolitiTweet.org
