Now is the time for Senate Democrats to put legislation on the floor that addresses the needs of working families. Now is the time to rally the American people around an agenda that works for all, not just the 1%. — PolitiTweet.org

I sent a letter today to the CEO of Kroger with a simple message: the company, which is doing very well, can afford provide grocery store workers – the true heroes and heroines of this pandemic – good wages, good benefits, safe working conditions and reliable work schedules. https://t.co/E5u9ckrgSO — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of providing the kind of wages and benefits that the workers need, Warrior Met has made a totally unsatisfactory offer. Mr. Fink must should tell the company's executives to sit down and negotiate a fair contract with the union now. https://t.co/X1eXEcYD8y — PolitiTweet.org

Jon Donaire Desserts epitomizes the corporate greed that is taking place in this country. I joined @SenAlexPadilla and 5 of our colleagues to stand with striking workers and ask why Bob Rich, who’s worth more than $7 billion, wants to cut back on the needs of struggling workers. https://t.co/KcjFDwpBm1 — PolitiTweet.org

The American people want to see Congress finally stand up for working families. That’s exactly what we must do. — PolitiTweet.org

I know I speak for all Vermonters in expressing the deep gratitude we feel for the extraordinary role that Sen. Leahy has played in representing Vermont in the U.S. Senate for the last 46 years. Jane and I wish he and Marcelle a wonderful and well-earned retirement. — PolitiTweet.org

Let me remind my conservative Democratic colleagues who are concerned about fiscal responsibility, the Build Back Better Act will be fully paid for by taxes on the wealthy. The bipartisan infrastructure bill you voted for will add $256 billion to the deficit. Let's be consistent. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In 2016, the chairman of Mylan received a $164 million compensation package after his company jacked-up the price of an EpiPen by 550% over a nine-year period. Let me repeat: it’s time to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry — PolitiTweet.org

At a time when some billionaires pay nothing – not a nickel – in a given year in taxes, yes, it is time for the rich pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let’s be crystal clear. If the bipartisan infrastructure bill is passed on its own on Thursday, this will be in violation of an agreement that was reached within the Democratic Caucus in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

We are taking on the ruling class, we are taking on the oligarchs, we are taking on the parametrical industry, we are taking on the health care industry, we are taking on the fossil fuel industry. But if we stand together, we will win. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time when corporate profits are soaring, when major corporations are making billions a year while not paying a nickel in federal income tax, we are going to end the grotesque greed of the obscene wealthy. We are going to demand that they pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

For a very long time, Congress has catered to the needs of those who have the money and the power, and turned our backs on the working class. That changes today. I'm LIVE now on the Senate floor talking about our budget proposal. https://t.co/o6IcDiHkbV — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Mitch McConnell has told us everything we need to know. "What we have in the United States Senate is total unity from Susan Collins to Ted Cruz in opposition to what the new Biden administration is trying to do to this country.” That is precisely why we must end the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We must move forward boldly, protect the working families of our country, and restore faith in our government. Yes, the future of the country is at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

If the CEOs of ExxonMobil, Chevron & BP think they can continue to put their short term profits over the future of the planet, they have another guess coming. Working together, we will take on the greed of the fossil fuel industry, combat climate change & create millions of jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Why does the U.S. pay the highest price in the world for prescription drugs? It is simply because of greed. https://t.co/eBblx1H57b — PolitiTweet.org

My question for Jeff Bezos is simple: you are with $182 billion, so why are you trying to make it harder for your workers to organize for higher wages and better benefits? What is your problem? https://t.co/XMaJczcqHd — PolitiTweet.org

If Amazon workers in Alabama – a strong anti-union state – vote to form a union, it'll be a shot heard around the world. If they can negotiate higher wages & better working conditions in the South, it'll benefit every worker in America. Thank you Mr. President, for speaking out. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The family that owns Walmart is worth more than $200 billion. The CEO of McDonalds received $18 million in compensation in 2019. Are we really supposed to believe they can’t afford to pay their workers $15 an hour? Absurd. https://t.co/UrMvXUvr4p — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Minimum wage in 1968 (in today's dollars): $11.64 Federal minimum wage in 2021: $7.25 Please do not tell me that in the richest country on Earth, we cannot guarantee a living wage of at least $15 an hour to every worker in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

During the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, there should NOT be a tradeoff between survival checks that the working class, seniors children & the disabled desperately need and emergency unemployment benefits. In the richest country in the world, we must do both. — PolitiTweet.org
