Since Day One, this president has thought he’s above the law, above criticism, and can get away with anything—including a fake "emergency" to sell bombs to Saudi Arabia. It is becoming clear he fired an Inspector General for investigating such misconduct. https://t.co/WCzXYbdnT9 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I happen to believe we should go in the direction of a paycheck security process which says to every worker in America: you will continue to receive your paycheck and benefits during this crisis. https://t.co/vVEf7KOqOs — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Why did Trump veto our bill to end the horrific U.S. role in Saudi Arabia's bombings of Yemeni children? Because we have a president who puts Raytheon's profits ahead of human life. It's time to rein in this corrupt White House and stop this war. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If we have any sense of morality as a nation, we have got to worry about the 20% of kids who today face hunger and the older people who are isolated, not getting the food they need. Those must be our priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

No. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We need to lift the burden of outrageous health care bills off the shoulders of working-class families. Our approach is simple, efficient, and universal: During this crisis, Medicare should cover all out-of-pocket health costs for everyone in America. https://t.co/WLwLco0PUl — PolitiTweet.org

While wealthy people quarantine in the luxury of their summer homes, low-income workers are being forced to go back to work and put their lives on the line. This virus has grossly exposed the inequities of our economic system. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

$1,200 doesn't cut it. Congress must send a monthly $2,000 check to every person who needs it until this crisis is over. https://t.co/u23UMVwCpl — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

No one in this country should be afraid to go to the doctor because of cost amidst this horrific pandemic. We must empower Medicare to pay all of the medical bills of the uninsured and the under-insured. https://t.co/qplCt7fVta — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Coronavirus has killed more than 85,000 people. Some 36 million workers have lost their jobs. Good thing President Trump is looking out for the real victims of the coronavirus: fossil fuel executives. https://t.co/4sj6gT53f9 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

These global leaders are right. As soon as an effective COVID-19 vaccine is approved it must be guaranteed to everyone—not just in the United States, but throughout the world. Let us put human lives ahead of corporate greed. https://t.co/6crDptz9bT — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At this week's Senate hearing, Trump administration officials repeatedly evaded my simple question. So I am once again asking: @SecAzar, when a COVID-19 vaccine is approved, will it be made available to everyone in America without cost? https://t.co/wf8KRCsxR5 — PolitiTweet.org

Here is the bottom line: If we are to avoid another Great Depression, it is absolutely imperative that every worker in this country continues to receive a paycheck and benefits. https://t.co/TuyCL5OShA — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, I believe the Senate must substantially expand direct emergency payments to working families. In my view, one additional $1,200 check is not enough. The Senate must provide a $2,000 per month emergency payment for every American until this crisis is over. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Second: Any legislation in the Senate to address the economic crisis must include a provision to guarantee 100 percent of the paychecks of workers up to $90,000 a year. This is what is being done successfully in many European countries and what should be done here. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

First: Instead of subsidizing COBRA — which would be a massive giveaway to the health insurance industry — I believe Medicare must be empowered to pay all of the health care bills of the uninsured and under-insured until this crisis is over. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let me thank Speaker Pelosi for recognizing the enormity of the coronavirus crisis and coming up with a number of important proposals. In my view, the Senate must improve this bill to adequately address two urgent needs: health care and economic security. https://t.co/PLMeBLXZJu — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In just eight weeks, 36 million Americans lost their jobs. 27 million lost their health insurance. During the worst public-health crisis in a century, we cannot continue to tie health care to employment. Medicare must guarantee health care to all. https://t.co/72JAnH51UG — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is a moral outrage that during a deadly pandemic, 1 in 7 essential workers are uninsured. Congress must empower Medicare to pay all health costs for every person in America during this crisis by passing the Health Care Emergency Guarantee Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

300 global lawmakers, @Ilhan, and I believe we need unprecedented compassion, solidarity and cooperation right now. To prevent major increases in poverty and hunger, the World Bank and IMF must cancel debt and provide financial support to poorer nations. https://t.co/nAH2py1Z9E — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, @NydiaVelazquez and I introduce legislation to say: Millions are going hungry during this pandemic. The people of Puerto Rico must receive same help from the federal government as any state—period. https://t.co/jKHbreIcsr — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the advocates fighting the Keystone XL pipeline! If we believe a clean environment and indigenous rights matter more than Big Oil’s short-term profits, then rejecting this disastrous project is a no-brainer. https://t.co/vThzcBRyPj — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

How does it happen that Europe is facing the same pandemic, but has an unemployment rate that's just a fraction of ours? It is time to adopt a simple, efficient, and cost-effective approach: Guarantee the paycheck of every worker in America. https://t.co/uyKlUf0r5w — PolitiTweet.org
