I’m voting NO on the $778 defense spending bill. I’m LIVE now on the floor of the Senate explaining why. https://t.co/WoLK9lDvq7 — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
As a nation, we need to get our priorities right. I wanted to take a minute to tell you why I’m voting against the defense spending bill. https://t.co/vM68xdDPLf — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
No. Congress should not provide a $10 billion handout to Jeff Bezos for space exploration as part of the defense spending bill. Unbelievable. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
We need to get our priorities right. I will vote ‘NO’ on the National Defense Authorization Act. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Combining these pieces of legislation would push the price tag of the bill to over $1 trillion – with very little scrutiny. Meanwhile, we've spent month after month discussing if we can afford to protect the children, the elderly, the sick, the poor and the future of our planet. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Further, it is likely that the Senate leadership will attach to the National Defense Authorization Act the so-called ‘competitiveness bill,’ which includes $52 billion in corporate welfare, with no strings attached, for a handful of extremely profitable microchip companies. — PolitiTweet.org

Isn’t it strange how even as we end the longest war in our nation’s history, concerns about the deficit and national debt seem to melt away under the influence of the powerful Military Industrial Complex? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Yet, tomorrow, the U.S. Senate will be voting on an annual defense budget that costs $778 billion – $37 billion more than President Trump’s last defense budget and $25 billion more than what President Biden requested. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Many of my colleagues, day after day, talk about how deeply concerned they are about the deficit and the national debt. They tell us that we just don’t have enough money to expand Medicare, to guarantee paid family and medical leave, and to address the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The most radical thing we can do when it comes to climate change is nothing. We MUST act. — PolitiTweet.org

The fact of the matter is there are more working class people than there are billionaires. Let’s stand up, fight back, and create the kind of nation we know we deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

In the richest country in the history of the world, 1 in 4 Americans are unable to afford their prescription drugs. That is ABSURD. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Does it make sense to anyone that the United States is the only major country on Earth not to guarantee paid family and medical leave? It’s time to end that international embarrassment. — PolitiTweet.org

If you haven't filed your taxes, TODAY is the LAST DAY in 2021 to sign up for the Child Tax Credit. The CTC has lifted more than 3 MILLION kids out of poverty this year alone. Join the millions of working families helping to cut childhood poverty in half. https://t.co/pTWFfmRXUR — PolitiTweet.org

I know I speak for all Vermonters in expressing the deep gratitude we feel for the extraordinary role that Sen. Leahy has played in representing Vermont in the U.S. Senate for the last 46 years. Jane and I wish him and Marcelle a wonderful and well-earned retirement. — PolitiTweet.org

How absurd is it that the Republicans who tell us over and over how much they care about “freedom” are also defending book burning, homophobia and racism. That is not what "freedom" is about. That's authoritarianism and bigotry. — PolitiTweet.org

While we pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs and 1 out of 4 Americans can’t afford the medicine they need, the top 15 pharmaceutical executives pulled in more than $470 million in salaries and bonuses last year. Greed. Greed. Greed. https://t.co/T6QFZm6X1t — PolitiTweet.org

We must demand that the extremely wealthy pay their fair share. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply concerned by the worsening humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray region. The United States must work together with the international community to press for an immediate ceasefire and deliver desperately needed aid to the region’s people. https://t.co/U5VMh3vin5 — PolitiTweet.org

The pharmaceutical industry charges Americans $686 for two EpiPens that can be purchased in Australia for just $169. Let me be clear: It’s time to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Now, at a time when Kaiser is sitting on $44.5 billion in cash reserves and your insured membership has grown to 12.5 million, the company wishes to diminish the safety and wellbeing of its workers, rather than improve them. That’s just not right. Your employees deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
During the peak of the pandemic, in 2020, your company made $2.2 billion in operating profits. Let’s be clear. Those company profits did not occur by accident. They occurred because your employees were on the job, working tirelessly in the midst of a life-threatening pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
We’ve been told that some were even forced to sleep in their cars and hotels to protect their families. These employees are heroes and heroines and should be treated as such. Sadly, you have taken another approach. — PolitiTweet.org

These workers have been on the frontlines in our fight against COVID-19. They risked their lives to save patients – showing up to work despite not being provided basic protective equipment. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, with seven of my Senate colleagues, I sent a letter to Kaiser Permanente Chair and CEO Greg Adams in support of the more than 30,000 nurses and health care workers planning to strike unless negotiations for a fair contract improve. https://t.co/iEWzb7EOq1 — PolitiTweet.org

Poll after poll shows overwhelming support for the Build Back Better legislation. The American people are saying loudly and clearly: We want government to work for us, not the billionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

On Veterans Day, I spoke to a large crowd in St. Albans, Vermont. We must never forget the sacrifices that so many of our veterans have made. https://t.co/ACHtEIkKIU — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
We owe our veterans a tremendous debt of gratitude, one which we'll never truly be able to repay. On this Veterans Day let us honor the extraordinary sacrifice and bravery of our veterans and their families, and make certain they get all the benefits they need and were promised. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The time is now for Congress to finally listen to the American people and not the wealthy and large corporations. 65% of Americans support raising taxes on large corporations. Let’s do it. — PolitiTweet.org
