The good news is that, as a result of the trade union movement, Norfolk Southern agreed to provide up to 7 paid sick days to 650 workers. The bad news is that nearly 12,000 Norfolk employees still don't have a single paid sick day for the dangerous work they do. That must change. — PolitiTweet.org

While the pharmaceutical industry makes billions in profits, Americans are dying and suffering because they cannot afford the outrageous cost of their medicine. Congress must finally do what the people want and substantially lower the cost of prescription drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

To have the best public school system, we have got to radically change our attitude toward how we invest in education. No public school teacher should make less than $60,000 a year. I am proud to introduce the Pay Teachers Act to begin to address the crises schools face today. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1923, the inventors of insulin sold their patents for $1 to save lives, not to turn pharma executives into billionaires. Today, I am introducing the Insulin for All Act w/ @RepCori to cap the list price of insulin at no more than $20 per vial and put an end to corporate greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Workers across America are sick and tired of illegal union busting. I am holding a hearing LIVE to discuss how we can protect workers standing up to corporate greed. https://t.co/S2GMfzthWz — PolitiTweet.org

LIVE NOW: The American people are sick and tired of the unprecedented corporate greed and illegal union busting. It is time to stand with the working class and rebuild the trade union movement. It's time to make the PRO Act the law of the land. https://t.co/S2GMfzthWz — PolitiTweet.org

I’m happy to announce that Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has finally agreed to testify before the Senate HELP Committee. I look forward to hearing from him as to when he intends to end his illegal anti-union activities and begin signing fair first contracts with the unions. https://t.co/PuDOyGGhBu — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Town Meeting Day to my fellow Vermonters. The votes we cast on town meeting day have some of the most direct impact in our communities. But the real beauty of the town meeting is the tradition of coming together to debate the issues thoughtfully and respectfully. — PolitiTweet.org

At just 13-years-old, Alexander Collins is the youngest chess state champion in Vermont. Recently, Alexander told us about winning the tournament and on how we can encourage young people to play chess and benefit from this game of dedication, strategy, and quick thinking. https://t.co/Oz4s5h3R1S — PolitiTweet.org

I join the disability community in mourning the passing of Judy Heumann. From leading the 504 sit-ins to fighting for the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Judy dedicated her life to advancing the rights of people with disabilities. We must continue her work. — PolitiTweet.org

Israel’s finance minister just called for a Palestinian town “to be erased.” This disgusting rhetoric will get more innocent people killed. The extreme, right-wing Israeli government is creating the conditions for more violence and undermining democracy. https://t.co/n0CEi3V6Qf — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s my response to Starbucks’ latest letter. https://t.co/OaTYIrm4Jt — PolitiTweet.org

I am shocked and deeply concerned that Howard Schultz would continue to defy a request made by a majority of members on the Senate HELP Committee. The committee will vote on March 8th at 10 a.m. to compel Mr. Schultz to testify. — PolitiTweet.org

In the midst of a broken and dysfunctional health care system, I am holding a hearing LIVE discussing how we can save lives and money by expanding community health centers so that every American has access to the primary care that they need and deserve. https://t.co/1jkzVuJJWo — PolitiTweet.org

Public pressure forced Eli Lilly to reduce the price of insulin by 70%. Today, I sent a letter demanding Sanofi and Novo Nordisk do the same. Now is the time to end the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and substantially lower the outrageous cost of prescription drugs. https://t.co/gPXRw3HYJB — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This is what fighting back accomplishes: At a time when Eli Lilly made over $7 billion in profits last year, public pressure forced them to reduce the price of insulin by 70%. Sanofi and Novo Nordisk must do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, Howard Schultz has given us no choice, but to subpoena him. A multi-billion dollar corporation like Starbucks cannot continue to break federal labor law with impunity. The time has come to hold Starbucks and Mr. Schultz accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

The prostate cancer drug Xtandi was invented by taxpayer-funded scientists at UCLA, but now costs Americans nearly $190,000 — or up to six times the price in other wealthy countries. If you are taking Xtandi and would like to share your story, click below. https://t.co/K1n12QewXm — PolitiTweet.org

I’m confident Julie Su will be an excellent Secretary of Labor. I look forward to working with her to protect workers’ rights and build the trade union movement in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

In America, you should not have to face financial ruin because you want a damn education. Today we say to the Supreme Court, listen to the needs of the people. Do the right thing. Support Biden’s proposal to cancel student debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Corporate Health Care Lobbyists: Medicare for All would lead to rationed care. Gallup: A record-breaking 38% of Americans were forced to delay needed care last year because it was too expensive. The greed of private health insurance companies is literally killing Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

The grassroots trade union movement to provide paid sick days to rail workers is gaining momentum. Norfolk Southern has become the third rail company to guarantee paid sick days to workers. Now is the time for all rail companies to follow suit & substantially improve rail safety. — PolitiTweet.org
