Now is the time, finally, for Congress to stand up for working families and take on the big money interests and wealthy campaign contributors who have so much power over the economic and political life of our country. — PolitiTweet.org

As part of the Reconciliation Bill, Americans want to lower prescription drug costs (88%) and expand Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing (84%). Both proposals are strongly opposed by drug companies and private insurance. The Dems must stand with the people, not fold. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Who wants Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices? Oh just... 91% of Democrats 85% of Independents 76% of Republicans 84% of seniors Now is the time for Congress to finally have the courage to stand up to the greed of Big Pharma. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We must stand up to a corrupt oligarchy. It is not acceptable that the top 1% now owns more wealth than our entire middle class. We must pass the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better Act, invest in the working class & take on the greed of the billionaires by taxing the rich. — PolitiTweet.org

From the first days of this country, Native Americans were lied to, their treaties violated and their rights ignored. Today on #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we recommit to stand with them in the fight for justice and dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Maybe, just maybe, Congress might want to serve the needs of the American people, and not wealthy campaign contributors. A new CBS poll finds overwhelming support for these provisions in the $3.5T Reconciliation Bill. https://t.co/SUsaLMflMu — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Americans don't know what's in the Build Back Better plan because the corporate media doesn't discuss it. Let's stop the beltway gossip and start talking about lowering prescription drug costs, expanding Medicare, childcare and housing – and combatting climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Pharma has spent hundreds of millions opposing our efforts to lower prescription drug costs. Meanwhile, the six major drug companies made $50 billion in profits last year and pay their CEOs outrageous salaries. We must stop Pharma greed and pass the Reconciliation Bill. — PolitiTweet.org

The $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill is enormously popular. A recent Quinnipiac University Poll shows 57 percent of the American people support it, including 92 percent of Democrats. Obviously it is exactly the bill that a Democratic Congress should pass. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The majority of the American people support the $3.5T reconciliation bill. 48 out of 50 Democrats in the Senate support the bill. 96% of Democrats in the House support the bill. No. Two people cannot sabotage what the overwhelming majority of this country want. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The time is long overdue for Sen. Manchin to say with specificity - we're beyond generalities - what he wants, and what he does not want, and to explain that to the people of West Virginia and America. https://t.co/iznJu0a0cc — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The question before Congress right now is pretty simple: Do we fulfil what democracy is supposed to be about and stand up for working families or do we bow down to powerful special interests? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Senator Manchin has been critical of the $3.5 trillion proposal that many of us support. But the time is long overdue for him to tell us with specificity what he wants and does not want and explain that to the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Does Senator Manchin believe that we should be the only major country on earth not to guarantee paid family and medical leave? And that working mothers should not be able to stay at home with a sick kid? Are workers not entitled to that? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Are our children and grandchildren not entitled to live in a healthy and habitable environment? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Does Senator Manchin not believe that at a time when we have a major labor shortage because our young people lack the skills they need that they are not entitled to at least two years of free community college? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Is protecting working families and cutting childhood poverty an ‘entitlement’? Are the children of this country not entitled to high quality childcare and pre-K education? Are working families in this country are entitled to affordable housing? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I’ve heard Senator Manchin talk about not wanting to see our country become ‘an entitlement society.’ Well, I’m not exactly sure what that means. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I'm LIVE to talk about the reconciliation bill that a number of us are fighting for and to make some brief comments about what Sen. Joe Manchin said today about the legislation. https://t.co/VcXeMdQwO2 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Big money special interests are spending hundreds of millions of dollars trying to prevent Congress from doing what the American people want. Unacceptable. Maybe, just maybe, now is the time for Congress to stand up for American families, not for the wealthy and powerful. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Wall Street and corporate CEOs are "deeply concerned" about the U.S. defaulting on our national debt. Yet, they keep providing campaign funds for Republicans, the party which refuses to pay the bill on the spending incurred during the Trump years. Total hypocrisy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let us be clear. The Republican Party is refusing to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry which charges Americans by far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. What a disgrace. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Wealth of Mark Zuckerberg in 2009: $2 billion Wealth of Mark Zuckerberg today: $122 billion   Yes. It's time to break up Facebook, break up Big Tech & demand that the wealthy & powerful pay their fair share of taxes. We cannot continue to let Facebook put profits over safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Republican Party's lust for power and political gain is so great that they are prepared to default on the debt they voted for under Trump, and plunge the world's economy into chaos and depression. To call that "irresponsible" would be a major understatement. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We’re taking on corporate lobbyists. We’re taking on powerful special interests. We’re taking on the entire ruling class of this country. And poll after poll shows that is exactly what the American people want us to do. https://t.co/EkxwBD84vU — PolitiTweet.org

Senior citizens in America should not have to be toothless or lack hearing aids or eyeglasses. Dental care, hearing and vision are essential parts of healthcare. The American people want us to expand Medicare to cover these basic services. That's what we must do. — PolitiTweet.org
