The House Judiciary Committee is doing the right thing by voting to hold Mr. Barr in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena. No Attorney General is above the law. Mr. Barr must testify—the American people have a right to know. https://t.co/3cEBzoUrva — PolitiTweet.org

Uber and Lyft drivers are struggling as they work for billion-dollar companies. These drivers are not “independent contractors”—they are employees who deserve rights and benefits. I stand in solidarity with them as they strike today for a dignified life. https://t.co/Cl6Srk0qD2 — PolitiTweet.org

There's no doubt in my mind that Sandra Bland, like too many African Americans who die in police custody, would be alive today if she were a white woman. I support her family’s call for a renewed investigation into her arrest and death. https://t.co/Zjyn5Isism — PolitiTweet.org

This blatant and unconstitutional attack on women's rights must be stopped. Women have a fundamental right to control their own bodies and futures. https://t.co/YXgFTmQYj2 — PolitiTweet.org

Monopolies are harming the livelihoods of rural Americans. A handful of companies dominate the markets for seeds, equipment, meat packing, and patents. We need to put an end to corporate mergers and break up Big Ag so family farmers can get a fair shake. https://t.co/JMHRuZ5jkv — PolitiTweet.org

Ady Barkan has health insurance but is still facing $9,000 a month in out-of-pocket medical expenses. He is dying from a terrible neurological disease and using the time he has left to testify before Congress. When we enact Medicare for All, it will be because of heroes like Ady. https://t.co/dBhiSZ8Rxo — PolitiTweet.org

Unlike Donald Trump, most Americans do not believe that a free press is "the enemy of the people." I am delighted that Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo were released from a Myanmar prison after 500 days in prison. https://t.co/HYibObPwPg — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the advocates in Oregon who won a major victory today. The right to a clean environment is more important than the short-term profits of the fossil fuel industry. Our job: break our addiction to fossil fuels, not increase our dependence on fracked natural gas. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I am so grateful to America's nurses. Nurses are the backbone of our health care system and it is no wonder Americans trust them more than any other profession. They deserve tremendous respect and support from all of us. https://t.co/RNLj3MLX2j — PolitiTweet.org

We must combat oligarchy. A new study shows that the top 10% now own 70% of the wealth, while the bottom half have virtually no net wealth at all. We need an economy that works for all, not just the few. https://t.co/jTVeLlaH9U — PolitiTweet.org

The people of Puerto Rico have been experiencing a humanitarian crisis for over a year and a half since Hurricane Maria. It is totally unconscionable that in the wealthiest nation in the world we have allowed our fellow citizens to suffer for so long. https://t.co/P7wntVVIOT — PolitiTweet.org

The average household with credit card debt owes over $15,000. The average interest rate on these cards? Above 17%. Soon, I’ll introduce legislation to put a stop to this. How have steep interest rates and fees impacted you? Please share your story. https://t.co/MCyxwf8wms — PolitiTweet.org

Climate change is destroying our ecosystems and our planet. We must take on the greed of the fossil fuel industry, and transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. https://t.co/ZGsobbQCPy — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Sorry, Mr. President, you are not a dictator. In our democracy, when Congress calls on Robert Mueller to testify, he will testify. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This is obscene: while the top 25 hedge-fund managers each take home an average of $850 million a year, nearly half of college students have to skip meals for the crime of pursuing an education. We must ensure tuition-free college for all, funded by a tax on Wall Street greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The United States lags behind every major country on Earth when it comes to paid sick leave. It is time for Congress to follow the lead of states like mine and pass guaranteed sick leave for all Americans. https://t.co/mo9x3XZFEd — PolitiTweet.org

There can be no free society without a free media. The work of journalists in this country is absolutely essential to our communities and to a free and functioning democracy. Journalists should never have to fear for their lives as they do their work. #WorldPressFreedomDay — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We have a racist criminal justice system that costs us billions of dollars, ruins lives and allows private prisons to profit off of human misery. The private prison racket has got to end. https://t.co/kfLhwsZKL4 — PolitiTweet.org

In the richest country in the history of the world, 13 million children live in poverty and two-thirds of them are children of color. This is a moral outrage. If we raise the minimum wage and invest in education and housing, we can end child poverty. https://t.co/7BF6n9ONRV — PolitiTweet.org

When Congress asks the Attorney General to testify or provide information, he's got to do it. I support those who are prepared to hold him in contempt for stonewalling. The American people are entitled to this information and the House should be as tough as they can be. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump administration is threatening a disastrous military intervention in Venezuela. Under our Constitution, only Congress can authorize the use of force. We must make sure the United States does not get involved in yet another war and destabilize another region. — PolitiTweet.org

Apparently, it is not enough for the Trump administration to attack the Affordable Care Act. Now they want to open up millions of women and LGBTQ people to discrimination in health care. What we need is a health care system that covers every person's needs. No exceptions. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This is the beginning of a bipartisan process to take back our responsibility over these most important matters. My likeminded colleagues and I, in a bipartisan fashion, will utilize all of the legislative tools at our disposal—including further use of the War Powers Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The bad news today: we were unable today to override Trump’s veto regarding U.S. intervention in this horrific war in Yemen. The good news: for the first time in 45 years, Congress used the War Powers Act to reassert its constitutional responsibility over the use of armed forces. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Watch live now: A bipartisan majority in the House and the Senate voted to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen. We can save thousands upon thousands of people if we override Donald Trump's veto. https://t.co/ampKocul70 — PolitiTweet.org
