Let's be clear: Trickle-down economics is nothing but a fraudulent theory designed by the rich and their think tanks to protect billionaires and large corporations. https://t.co/FUAWrbpYZc — PolitiTweet.org

The inaction and denialism of Trump and Bolsonaro are threatening not just our lives, but also future generations. Americans and Brazilians must come together to defeat these rightwing demagogues and act immediately to save the planet—our only home—from climate catastrophe. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The banks are still at it. This is the very same Wall Street recklessness that led to economic disaster and ruined millions of lives across our country. Unless we end their greed, American taxpayers will be on the hook again. https://t.co/Ii89ZDHkzf — PolitiTweet.org

Black women make 61 cents on the dollar compared to white men, and their wages continue to fall further and further behind. That is simply a disgrace. We should guarantee equal pay for equal work. This is not a radical idea—this is an issue of basic justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It will take student borrowers 100 years to repay their debt for the "crime" of getting a higher education. That is insane. We have got to hit the reset button. We should cancel all student debt in this country and make Wall Street pay for it. https://t.co/z8bvcjaLCy — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

For centuries, America’s rise relied on treating Black people as literal property. "Slavery By Another Name" continued well into the 20th century. I believe we should talk about this part of our history, and learn about how it has shaped every aspect of our politics and economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If the richest Americans do not start paying their fair share of taxes, we are headed for a future where they control all of the wealth and the rest of the country has none. All of it. To me, that is outrageous and that is not what America is about. https://t.co/iAOHZmXLRQ — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

On many issues, we are divided, but comprehensive background checks are supported by 97 percent of Americans. President Trump is a coward whose failure to act threatens public safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The business model of Wells Fargo is fraud. Yet how many people at Wells Fargo are going to jail? Zero. But if you smoke marijuana in this country, you get a criminal record. That is unacceptable. https://t.co/pnxPjy0SU5 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We still can't import medicine from Canada at a fraction of the price. My bill, the Affordable and Safe Prescription Drug Importation Act, ends this absurdity. We can lower drug prices and save lives. Does @realDonaldTrump have the guts to stand up to Big Pharma’s greed? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

CEOs of billion-dollar companies say they want to invest in their workers and communities. Good. I have a few ideas for them: ✅ Provide a living wage of at least $15 an hour ✅ Stop union-busting and outsourcing jobs ✅ Pay your taxes, don't evade them https://t.co/WTGLgHN6Ox — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump and the Republicans' latest attack on women's rights is this gag rule on health providers. Their goal is to overturn Roe v. Wade. We will not let them win. We must fight together until a woman’s constitutional right to abortion is truly secure. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The millennial generation was told that the only way they would get good jobs is if they received a college education. That turned out to be dead wrong. Wages for the average college graduate have stagnated. It's time to hit the reset button. Here's how: https://t.co/gd3TPjxH1a — PolitiTweet.org

Together, we will cancel all student debt. And we're going to make Wall Street speculators pay for every nickel of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Whether America's climate-action plan is 1,000 pages long or two pages long, at the end of the day, we all know what it’s about. It’s about building the political power to tell the fossil fuel industry: Sorry, you cannot continue to destroy the planet for short-term profits. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Billionaires and huge corporations should not be allowed to use loopholes and tax havens to avoid paying their fair share. At a time of massive global inequality the very wealthy should be paying more in taxes, not less. https://t.co/uRIQoiqn7c — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Some say we can't afford tuition-free public college. Let me get this straight: 40 years ago, in an economy with half the income per person, some of the best public schools were essentially free. But guaranteeing college for all is so "radical" that we can't afford it today? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

President Trump proposed cutting Social Security benefits by $25 billion in his budget. That should outrage all of us, young and old alike. No, Mr. President, we will not let you cut Social Security. We will fight to expand it. — PolitiTweet.org

Think of how crazy you have to be, in the middle of a mass-extinction event, to try to destroy the Endangered Species Act. I’m sure Trump’s friends in the fossil fuel and mineral industries are happy with his attack on our biodiversity. https://t.co/gHs41O9Nop — PolitiTweet.org

Over 40 years: • GDP per person doubled • CEO pay ⬆️ 1,000% • CEOs, who got $30 for every $1 a worker made, now get $278 • The median wage grew $2 an hour since 1978 A political revolution means standing up to billionaires to say: Enough is enough. You can't have it all. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If Prime Minister @Netanyahu doesn't want members of Congress to visit Israel, then maybe he can respectfully decline $3.8 billion in annual funding—the largest amount of U.S. aid to any country. I believe in an even-handed approach to ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It's confirmed: July was the hottest month ever recorded. How insane is it that our Environmental Protection Agency is now run by a former coal lobbyist? We must stand up to the fossil fuel industry and say: you will no longer dictate our climate policy. https://t.co/IciWMOYO19 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

No senior should have to sell their belongings or spend their life savings just to be able to age in place. Under the Medicare for All, long-term, home-based care will be guaranteed as a right to every senior and person with a disability in America. https://t.co/J2S671yF2a — PolitiTweet.org

Banning Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib from entering Israel and Palestine is a sign of enormous disrespect to these elected leaders, to the United States Congress, and to the principles of democracy. The Israeli government should reverse this decision and allow them in. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

When @RepCummings and I asked pharma CEOs about soaring drug prices, they coordinated to block our investigation. @MylanNews and @TevaUSA: Obstructing our inquiry is a crime. The American people deserve answers about your price-fixing conspiracy. https://t.co/rLIq7pAfcK — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. Trump is a lying bigot. https://t.co/uXcajQtLdQ — PolitiTweet.org

On this day, 84 years ago, FDR signed Social Security into law. It is one of the most successful programs in our country’s history and lifts more Americans out of poverty than any other. We are not going to cut Social Security—we are going to expand it. https://t.co/8M7rEoNmgB — PolitiTweet.org
