By stopping the U.S. support that Saudi Arabia needs to carry out its bombings in Yemen, we can help end the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. I've passed an awful lot of amendments in Congress over the years, so let me tell you: this one is important. https://t.co/jVG0yYAfWq — PolitiTweet.org

I've never met a voter, Republican or Democrat, who is begging the government to let corporations pollute the sources we rely on for drinking water even more. Yet that's just what Trump is doing, threatening 117 million Americans. Big polluters are in charge of our government. — PolitiTweet.org

Workers of all backgrounds are standing up for their rights. That includes yoga teachers, who are facing down shameful anti-union propaganda from their Wall Street owners. This is exactly the kind of energy we need to rebuild the middle class. https://t.co/VgH64dK0OP — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is unbelievable that this needs to be said: American citizens are not something to be “cleaned up,” Mr. Trump. I have a much better idea. Build homes for all 552,730 unsheltered people, at a cost of less than 10% of Trump’s tax cut for the rich and large corporations. — PolitiTweet.org

Now do AR-15s. — PolitiTweet.org

Are you a student or recent graduate? Apply to be a full-time legislative intern in my D.C. office in the fall and spring semesters. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. https://t.co/EPSZUJsFvB — PolitiTweet.org

Home health aides, mostly women of color, do enormous work caring for our elderly. Yet they are insanely overworked and get poverty pay. Almost half need public assistance. What they need are the living wages and benefits they are entitled to in America. https://t.co/KalHZTCdIQ — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We must also reflect on the 18-year-old "war on terror" and the harm it has caused. If we do not move decisively to end America’s longest war, we will soon see servicemembers fight and die in Afghanistan and around the world in a conflict that was started before they were born. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This year, Congress finally acted to give these first responders the financial security and medical attention they need as they cope with illnesses from the toxins they were exposed to at Ground Zero. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, we remember the 3,000 Americans we lost on September 11, 2001, and we honor the bravery of the emergency workers who rushed into danger in order to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

96 percent of Democrats and 83 percent of Republicans support background checks for all potential gun buyers. The gun lobby should not control Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This is what oligarchy looks like. If you're a member of the family that controls Cargill, you can award yourself a $5 million payout. Meanwhile, small farmers are struggling and Mitch McConnell is blocking a raise to $15 an hour for 40 million workers. https://t.co/xdqGrqgB9n — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Mr. Trump lied. He promised to strengthen health care—instead, he has done everything he can to sabotage the Affordable Care Act. The result: Nearly two million people joined the ranks of the uninsured last year, the first increase in the uninsured rate in a decade. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It's absurd that the United States is the only advanced country that does not guarantee its workers paid vacation time. A mom and a dad ought to have the right to at least a couple of weeks of paid vacation so they can spend quality time with their kids. https://t.co/RnxeA0vheu — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The DMV should not use its trove of personal information as a tool to make money. Nobody—from agencies like the DMV to large corporations like Facebook and Google—should be profiting from sharing or selling personal information without meaningful consent. https://t.co/HsVe6ieBLf — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This is dangerous. Too many Americans have fought and died to defend American democracy to let President Trump act like an authoritarian. — PolitiTweet.org

Poverty is, in my view, a death sentence. The poorest older Americans die at twice the rate as the richest. We must end our country’s obscene inequality and ensure basic economic security for all—or we will condemn an entire generation to early death. https://t.co/h6D1lzC8ES — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If @realDonaldTrump was serious about ending U.S. wars in the Middle East, he would’ve signed our bipartisan bill to stop the Yemen war instead of vetoing it. If Congress does not stand up to him and defund it, the Saudi-led war could kill 233,000 Yemenis by the end of the year. — PolitiTweet.org

The world's largest military budgets: 🇯🇵 $50 billion 🇬🇧 $53 billion 🇫🇷 $56 billion 🇮🇳 $58 billion 🇷🇺 $63 billion 🇸🇦 $83 billion 🇨🇳 $168 billion 🇺🇸 $700 billion What if—just maybe—we led the world not in weapons and war, but in fighting humanity's common enemy: climate change? — PolitiTweet.org

Here are 6 of the 10 fastest-growing jobs in America: • Personal care aide—$24,020 • Food preparer—$21,250 • Home health aide—$24,200 • Cook—$26,530 • Waiter—$21,780 • Janitor—$26,110 If we want a decent, humane society, workers must get at least $15 an hour and a union. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Under a Medicare for All system, we are going to guarantee health care to all people as a human right. Working people should not have to search around for coupons or risk going into bankruptcy to afford their medical care. https://t.co/1xGIR2TQFx — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

How absurd is it that Social Security has lifted 22 million Americans out of poverty and is among the most popular government programs in existence, but Republicans still want to cut it? Sorry, GOP, but our job is not to cut Social Security. Our job is to expand it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Mr. Trump wasted everyone's time with ludicrous talk about trying to buy Greenland. Wouldn't it be nice if we had a leader who tried to stop it from melting? https://t.co/57WlXy5CAZ — PolitiTweet.org

Addiction is a disease, not criminal activity. Here's who should be held criminally liable: The top executives of the opioid manufacturers who lied by pushing a product they knew was addictive on doctors and patients, causing a national public health emergency. https://t.co/uibjXg2AiV — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Here's a fact you don't hear too often: Half of America’s workers make less than $19 an hour. When we double the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15, we'll boost pay up the income ladder. That means workers making above $15 an hour—11.6 million of them—will also get raises. — PolitiTweet.org

The loan sharks of today wear expensive suits and work on Wall Street, where they make hundreds of millions of dollars by pushing sky-high fees and outrageous interest rates as high as 27 percent on American consumers. Together, we must end their greed. https://t.co/YdsrI2KbMG — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump's still trying to waste billions of taxpayer dollars on a wall, using a phony "national emergency" to ignore Congress and the Constitution. Think of the urgent work we could be doing together, instead, if we treated climate change like the national emergency that it is. — PolitiTweet.org
