50 years ago, every dollar of an estate over $10 million was taxed at a rate of 77 percent. Since then, wealthy elites have worked to gut the estate tax—and inequality has exploded. Our job: Bring back this critical tool to stop the rise of oligarchy. https://t.co/FvBAbigj6e — PolitiTweet.org

In the richest country in the world, no child should be poisoned by contaminated water coming through their faucet. What has gone on in Flint, where 30,000 kids have been exposed to neurotoxins, is a crime and an obscenity. https://t.co/xXghULqEYv — PolitiTweet.org

We have got to join the rest of the developed world and abolish the death penalty. Too many innocent people, particularly people of color, get caught up in this unjust policy. A civilized society should not be involved in the murder of other Americans. https://t.co/366d0w3QZu — PolitiTweet.org

Despite GOP efforts to sabotage health care for millions of Americans, the Affordable Care Act is still the law. Spread the word: You can sign up for health insurance today. Open enrollment runs until December 15. Go to https://t.co/abvyRmbFsY to choose a plan and get covered. https://t.co/KzprONt2fq — PolitiTweet.org

Philadelphia police stopped 25,000 cars because they "smelled marijuana." 84% were African American drivers. They found marijuana only 12% of the time. Our job must be to end the War on Drugs—and get racial bias out of law enforcement at the same time. https://t.co/6luwr6TayC — PolitiTweet.org

Seven decades ago, the British people put in place a system that treats health care as a human right. Today they live longer than Americans, infant mortality is lower, and they spend half of what we do on health care. It’s time we join the rest of the industrialized world. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Mr. Trump said he'd fight for a trade policy to help American workers. He said he'd lower the trade deficit. He lied: It's gone up. His real agenda: Protect the profits of the pharmaceutical industry and make it easier for corporations to outsource jobs. https://t.co/pjqNDc7V51 — PolitiTweet.org

Nicole Smith-Holt’s son Alec died at 26 because he was rationing insulin that was too expensive. Every day, Americans are suffering and dying because of the greed of Big Pharma. We need to share these stories and stand together to fight back. https://t.co/O8o36i5Ljw — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook has incredible power over the economy and our political life. It harvests the data of 228 million Americans and, over and over, uses this sensitive information in dangerous ways. What we need is vigorous antitrust action and to break Facebook up. https://t.co/Wawjlff1o6 — PolitiTweet.org

3.2 million more people are in poverty than official statistics show—how? Inflation is higher for the poorest than it is for the average person. This is more evidence of what we already know: the economy is rigged and it benefits the wealthiest the most. https://t.co/bQuvDpuonX — PolitiTweet.org

Now, thanks to the FCC under Mr. Trump, many Americans will only be able to choose from three huge corporations for their wireless service: Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. This trend of unending corporate consolidation goes against the interests of consumers and our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

11,258 scientists from 153 countries came together to say: "Scientists have a moral obligation to clearly warn humanity of any catastrophic threat and tell it like it is." It's time we listen. Congress must declare a climate emergency and act boldly to protect our only home. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans all over the country are trying to make it harder for people of color, poor people, and older people to participate in our democracy. Our agenda: 🗳️ Extend early voting 🌃 Extend voting hours 🇺🇸 Make #ElectionDay a holiday — PolitiTweet.org

If Trump was serious about a solution to the horrendous conflict in Yemen, he would have signed our War Powers Resolution into law and ended illegal military support to the Saudis. Instead, he vetoed it. Thousands of Yemeni children have died on his watch. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Iran's resumption of work at Fordow is a concerning step. We had a deal in place that capped Iran’s nuclear program, which Trump recklessly violated. We should rejoin the JCPOA immediately and talk to Iran about other regional issues. https://t.co/nlMIqEjt67 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

During his campaign, Trump said over and over again that he would stick it to the wealthy by closing the egregious carried interest loophole. Guess what? His disgraceful tax bill did nothing to address it and even Fox Business commentators are fed up with his broken promises. https://t.co/f6O1FJPzw7 — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Pompeo, I hate to break it to you, but plunging the world in to a full-scale climate catastrophe is nothing to be proud of. — PolitiTweet.org

Well, what do you know? One of the Wall Street ratings agencies complicit in the worst financial crash in modern history is warning of the dangers of bailing out students—not the crooks who run the big banks. Thanks for the advice. But we are going to cancel all student debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Here’s an idea: How about an agenda that isn’t about corporate trade deals that sell out our workers, tax cuts for billionaires, and endless war? For once let’s focus on dignity for the working class. Let’s create millions of good jobs to take care of each other and our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is a good example that if you put your mind to it and work hard, you can betray just about every promise you make and deny every reality that exists. https://t.co/S5BX5Q4v81 — PolitiTweet.org

All of us can be a little forgetful sometimes. My Republican friends launched trillion-dollar wars and passed huge tax cuts for the rich. Then they ask why the deficit went up. https://t.co/T85zn4mCiU — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the UK’s grassroots activists for successfully banning fracking. We know fracking contaminates our water. We know it pollutes the air we breathe. We know it fuels climate change. Together, we can—and we will—ban fracking in America, too. — PolitiTweet.org

How do we pay for quality health care, guaranteed to all our people? Pretty simple, in my view. The way every other rich country does. #MedicareForAll https://t.co/etEl0V1wU6 — PolitiTweet.org

Since 2011, I opposed the KeystoneXL pipeline. I feared that more dirty tar sands oil infrastructure would lead to disastrous spills. As 380,000 gallons of crude oil contaminate North Dakota's rural wetlands, we have got to say: Enough. It's time for a Green New Deal. https://t.co/wU5Zow8K0n — PolitiTweet.org
