The Gap corporation didn’t give a damn about struggling workers as it showered its failing CEO with millions of dollars a year. We will no longer tolerate socialism for the rich and powerful. Congress must pass our Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This decision by the parole board is critically important. Rodney Reed's execution should not just be delayed, but canceled. Real criminal justice reform must include joining every other major democracy in eliminating the death penalty. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The biggest threats that we face today—climate change, inequality, rising authoritarianism, and a refugee crisis—do not have military solutions. It's time to stop spending trillions on endless wars and get to work on things that will help America succeed for future generations. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump should be impeached and he will be impeached. But that does not mean we neglect the other crises facing this country, whether it is the housing crisis or climate change. We are mature enough as a nation to walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. https://t.co/dQjSDxdkmy — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Can anyone possibly defend taking away lunch from little kids? Would my GOP colleagues care to work with me and @IlhanMN to end these outrageous stories? We have a bill that wipes out school lunch debt and makes free school meals universal. Let's pass it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I thank public housing residents for sharing their stories with us today about their struggles and what green jobs could do for their communities. I am more committed than ever to work with @AOC to pass a Green New Deal and make dignified housing a human right. https://t.co/dIIjRMXwVI — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Sanders, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, and climate and housing activists lay out how we will transform public housing to create hundreds of thousands of green jobs. https://t.co/YqqEF5e0lA — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is truly outrageous that at the very same time the Santa Clarita school shooting was happening, Senate Republicans—led by Mitch McConnell—refused to pass gun safety legislation. Congress and Trump must finally have the courage to stand up to the NRA. Enough is enough! — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let us not forget: Climate change is the existential crisis of our time. This is the moment for bold action to empower the frontline communities who are most affected as we transform our energy system. This is how we prevent irreparable harm to our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

You’re right, @RepAOC. We will ensure a dignified life, with parks, gardens, and community centers, for our public housing residents. We invest $172 billion in retrofits that improve health, safety and comfort—while eliminating all carbon emissions in our public housing. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

How many jobs are we talking about? 📈 Nearly 250,000 good-paying, family-sustaining, union jobs per year across the country if this goes through. 🚙 At the same time, we reduce carbon pollution on the scale of taking 1.2 million cars off the road over 10 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let us be clear: A Green New Deal for Public Housing is not a radical idea. Here’s why: 40% of all U.S. energy consumption comes from buildings. Our government owns 1 million homes. If we are to defeat climate change, we must transform this housing to produce zero emissions. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I am delighted to be standing with @RepAOC, public housing residents, and climate activists to introduce the Green New Deal for Public Housing today. We must boldly take on the housing and climate crises and create millions of jobs. https://t.co/GUcHQNbZVn — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Rep. Tlaib is exactly right. And if these corporations insist on paying their CEOs hundreds of times more than their workers, we will tax them at rate high enough to fund the creation of 230,000 clean energy jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, I am proud to introduce the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act with @RepBarbaraLee and @RepRashida. If corporations can't understand why it's absurd to pay their CEOs more in a year than their workers will earn in a lifetime, then maybe this bill will help them figure it out. https://t.co/EonQPOcBjp — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The student debt crisis is only getting worse. If we can bail out Wall Street banks after they destroyed the U.S. economy, do not tell me we cannot bail out 40 million people whose only crime is trying to get a higher education. https://t.co/Vh8VQYUzlq — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

These young Dreamers are fighting for their right to live in the only country they've ever known. And they have a message for @realDonaldTrump: We're all human, we're all people, no matter where you're from. Stop being ignorant. We all have the same dreams. https://t.co/V5A6ELsMBK — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump's attack on the DACA program is the ugliest and most cruel decision made by a president in our modern history. I will do everything I possibly can to protect Dreamers from being thrown out of the only country they have ever known. https://t.co/Uo6HVINlGB — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

What kind of society do we live in when a mother is charged nearly $1 million by her employer-based insurance for the birth of her own child? The health care system is broken. We need Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If you think it is too expensive to take care of our veterans, don't send them to war. https://t.co/yCLyUablN9 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

On Veterans Day, let us renew our promise to returned service members by ending the injustices that too many of them face, such as homelessness, loneliness, and deportations. We must also strengthen the VA so that veterans and their families get the support they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A retail worker who misses a shift because of an emergency can be fired on the spot. But what happened when Gap's CEO oversaw sales and stock declines? He got a 33% pay raise and made $20 million a year—3,500 times more than his workers. Obscene. https://t.co/0xOVMMowtf — PolitiTweet.org
