The Pentagon is set to grow by $90 billion and reach $738 billion next year. For $90 billion, we could double nutrition assistance or provide $7,000 to every child in poverty. We cannot keep handing over billions to the military-industrial complex. https://t.co/8zIyQnlbfZ — PolitiTweet.org

We should pay attention to this: Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a far-right authoritarian, is rapidly destroying the Amazon rainforest. He is a threat to working people, minorities, journalists, and a habitable planet. No wonder Trump loves him so much. — PolitiTweet.org

If every major country on the planet can guarantee health care to all and achieve better health outcomes, while spending less per capita, please do not tell us that the United States of America cannot do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This is what an energy transition looks like when we have no plan. The coal company Blackjewel has filed for bankruptcy—meanwhile, its miners have not been paid for weeks. We need to move to a sustainable economy with a just and fair transition for workers and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

To restore our one-person-one-vote democracy, we must pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and stop this country's slide to oligarchy. — PolitiTweet.org

It makes no sense for young people to be denied jobs because they were arrested for smoking marijuana. It is time to decriminalize marijuana, expunge past marijuana convictions and end the failed war on drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

The Saudis said Jamal Khashoggi’s murder was a ‘rogue operation.’ That was a lie. A new piece reveals the regime’s ongoing efforts to harass and kidnap its critics around the world. It's past time to rethink our relationship with this repressive regime. https://t.co/D52fvbHVMl — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I wonder why Donald Trump vetoed our historic legislation to end U.S. involvement in the brutal bombing of Yemen. Who benefits from that? Raytheon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics: the four corporations making 90 percent of the weapons that we sell to Saudi Arabia. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is unacceptable that across every chronic and acute health condition, people of color fare worse than their white counterparts. Together, we can fight racial bias and repair our broken health care system by passing the Health Equity and Accountability Act and Medicare for All. https://t.co/gX6wKGtvKw — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let us be clear: In states where they have increased the minimum wage, paychecks are higher and the economy is booming. There is no excuse not to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour and end starvation wages for 40 million Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Public support for Medicare for All is rising. Why? The reason is pretty obvious. It is getting harder and harder to defend a dysfunctional health care system in which 30,000 people die every year because they don't get to a doctor when they should. https://t.co/GTPVwfMsRW — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

How crazy is this? Even though car makers agreed with California to keep stronger fuel efficiency standards, the EPA is proposing to allow more tailpipe pollution. Trump's loyalty to the fossil fuel industry is threatening the very lives of our children. https://t.co/4CEXinXHJG — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The climate crisis means more frequent and more intense heatwaves around the world. Our job must be to rapidly transform our energy system from fossil fuels to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. With a Green New Deal, we can save the planet and create millions of new jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I agree with @Ilhan. We must counter Trump's racist playbook by advancing policies that unmistakably improve working people’s lives, like strengthening collective bargaining, raising the minimum wage, and treating jobs and health care as human rights. https://t.co/sQnCTVXOCo — PolitiTweet.org

For three decades, I have been advocating for tuition-free college. If you are new to this effort, we welcome you to the fight for justice. https://t.co/qgoRWvh6bg — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

.@RepRaulGrijalva is right. We must stand with the people of Puerto Rico in this decisive moment, and make sure their will is not trampled upon by an unelected board making cuts to education and health care. https://t.co/skcIHgYCk4 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Our broken criminal justice system targets poor people and minorities disproportionately with the death penalty, including those who are innocent. The government should not be in the business of killing people. We must abolish capital punishment. https://t.co/TkIuqkXnnN — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Nobody should be "drowning," worrying about becoming homeless, because of crushing student debt in the United States of America. It is time to tax Wall Street to fund student debt cancellation and tuition-free public colleges for all. https://t.co/0zDrEq23Bg — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The president’s veto enables the sale of $8.1 billion in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia's brutal dictators. It will deepen and prolong the world's worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen. It infringes on Congress' authority over matters of war. What a disgrace. https://t.co/sBcuczx21a — PolitiTweet.org

Esta persona debe ayudar a la isla a recuperarse luego de décadas de devastación económica y del huracán María, que arrasó la isla hace casi dos años. Sin demora, garantizaremos el apoyo total del gobierno federal en la reconstrucción y recuperación de Puerto Rico. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Felicito a los milliones de boricuas que se unieron a exigir que el gobernador Rosselló renunciara. Cuando nos unimos, no hay nada que no podemos lograr. La próxima persona que gobierne la isla debe escuchar a la gente y oponerse a la corrupción y la austeridad de Wall Street. — PolitiTweet.org

His successor must stand against corruption and Wall Street-imposed austerity to help the island recover from decades of economic devastation and Hurricane Maria. Together, we will ensure the full support of the federal government in the rebuilding and recovery of Puerto Rico. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I congratulate the millions of people in Puerto Rico who came together to demand the resignation of Governor Rosselló. When we stand together, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is it that year after year, our people are living shorter lives while we spend more and more on health care? Pharmaceutical profits are a big part of the story. If we want to solve the opioid crisis, their greed and criminality must come to an end. https://t.co/B9D9QPxN0o — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump is a scam artist and a demagogue. He is using racism to divide working people and distract from his loyalty to billionaires and huge corporations. It won't work. The American people will come together and defeat this strategy of fomenting hate. https://t.co/mdaNqLR87i — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump proposed $87 billion in cuts to infrastructure over the next 10 years in his budget. How is it, Mr. President, that a nation can thrive when its infrastructure is crumbling? https://t.co/j5FEFylx5G — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This proposal belongs in the trash, @realDonaldTrump. No one should go hungry in the United States of America. — PolitiTweet.org
