Alec Smith died at 26 because he was rationing insulin that was too expensive. Now Big Pharma is suing to block a law passed in his honor to make insulin more affordable. Let’s be clear about this: Big Pharma’s greed is literally killing people in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

I am LIVE in the Senate to oppose a $740 billion military budget without being able to vote on amendments. The American people deserve a real debate before we build more bombs instead of schools. https://t.co/JcMMKgwDSB — PolitiTweet.org

How can it be that the United States—with just 4% of the world’s population—accounts for 25% of the world’s coronavirus deaths? Our people are dying every day because of Trump’s lies and incompetence. https://t.co/nVPlDArYx5 — PolitiTweet.org

Unbelievable. Facial recognition technology identifies the wrong person 96% of the time according to Detroit's police chief. We must ban facial recognition technology for policing. — PolitiTweet.org

Israel's annexation of occupied territory would be a disaster for international law, self-determination, freedom and equality. I stand with @AOC and House progressives. We cannot allow U.S. tax dollars to be used to violate Palestinians' human rights. https://t.co/UkrTcWhHvy — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Join me NOW: I urge my colleagues to stop pouring billions of dollars into wars and weapons. President Eisenhower and Dr. King were right. We need the guts to say NO to the military industrial complex and start focusing on real human needs. https://t.co/6DdSZQJJN1 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, I asked Dr. Fauci whether we need to manufacture and distribute free, high-quality masks and guarantee free vaccines to everyone in America. He agreed. The Senate must listen to our public health experts and immediately pass my proposals to do exactly that. https://t.co/TCc4kDCsn6 — PolitiTweet.org

Health care workers who risk their lives every day fighting this pandemic are being denied the personal protective equipment they need. The Trump administration's response: Ignoring thousands of workers' safety complaints. Beyond outrageous. https://t.co/atIujH4Ncv — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In the midst of a pandemic, the Senate is voting on a $740 billion Pentagon budget. I will be presenting an alternative: Cut the military by 10% to invest in health care, jobs, housing, and the environment. It's time to transform our national priorities. https://t.co/r18bu95GQ4 — PolitiTweet.org

The $600 in additional weekly unemployment income passed by Congress saved millions from financial ruin. Ending it could cost 5 million jobs and hurt countless struggling families. As coronavirus cases rise, we must extend this critical lifeline. https://t.co/SxtB0J7roK — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

How the hell can two people be charged $200 or $6,400 for the same test? No rational person can accept our dysfunctional, profit-driven health care system. No more greed. It's time to make health care a human right. It's time to pass Medicare for All. https://t.co/07uKJIP8VB — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump's lies and incompetence have cost us lives. America's coronavirus cases are skyrocketing even as other major countries have controlled its spread. Congress must step up. We need to act urgently to guarantee robust testing, tracing, masks, and medical treatment for all. https://t.co/DtQLpJUaOy — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Taxpayers provided funding for the development of this drug. Now Gilead is price-gouging off it during a pandemic. Beyond disgusting. Coronavirus treatment must be free to all. — PolitiTweet.org

Extremist Republican legislators lost again today. Abortion is a constitutional right and we will make damn sure it stays that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Billionaires are waging class war against the working people of this country in the middle of a pandemic. That is obscene. It’s time to stand up and fight back. — PolitiTweet.org

Whether it is: 🌎 Transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel ✊ Fighting systemic racism 🏥 Ending a cruel and dysfunctional healthcare system 📈 Addressing the grotesque level of wealth inequality in our country Now is the time for change—real change. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is unbelievable that this has to be said, but no: reducing testing will not make this pandemic go away. Trump's decision to pull federal support for testing is threatening the health of millions of people. https://t.co/qvYR4WEHjC — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Unemployment rate: 🇺🇸 13% 🇬🇧 4% Why? The United Kingdom provided paychecks to its workers and kept them employed. It's about time we do the same. https://t.co/5mI5S015j8 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If there's any silver lining to this horrible moment that we are in—the pandemic, the economic collapse, police brutality—it is that people are taking a hard look at the kind of society we want to become, and thinking about justice from top to bottom. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, the House rightly recognized that D.C.'s 700,000 residents deserve full citizenship as Americans. If Senate Republicans are sincere in their belief that there can be no taxation without representation, they must immediately schedule a vote to grant statehood to D.C. — PolitiTweet.org

As coronavirus cases rise, nurses are demanding that this for-profit, corporate hospital chain provide them with the protective gear and staffing support they need to care for their patients. I stand with the nurses striking across this country today. https://t.co/HMe8XeIrf4 — PolitiTweet.org

Do not tell me that a Green New Deal is “radical.” What’s radical is doing nothing to stop climate change while the Arctic is on fire. https://t.co/VWpJWqWTu2 — PolitiTweet.org

I said it in 1993 and I'll say it again today: D.C. statehood now! https://t.co/3wkOAXzPN4 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Why do we spend more on the military than the next 11 nations combined? I have a better idea: Cut Pentagon spending by 10% and invest it in the fight to end homelessness, hunger and poverty in the richest country on Earth. https://t.co/vgGd8WdMbu — PolitiTweet.org
