As the planet becomes warmer, as unprecedented fires, drought, floods, and extreme weather disturbances cause mass destruction, and when scientists tell us that we only have a few years to avoid irreparable damage to our planet, are we really going to ignore this global crisis? — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
We are trying to pass the most consequential legislation for working people since the Great Depression. The American people overwhelmingly support it. The special interests and the billionaires oppose it. This is a democracy. Maybe, just maybe, we should listen to the people. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The time is now. Do we do what the American people want? Do we fulfill what democracy is supposed to be about? Or does Congress, yet again, bow down to powerful special interests? That's what this struggle is about. https://t.co/Ajb0r1uIMH — PolitiTweet.org

The Reconciliation Bill is transformational. It's about taking on Pharma to lower prescription drug costs, the fossil fuel industry to combat climate change, the insurance companies to expand Medicare and demanding the rich pay their fair share. If we stand together, we win. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Congrats to the House Progressive Caucus and other Dems who insisted that Congress pass BOTH the Infrastructure Bill and the Reconciliation Bill. Now is the time to stand with working families and take on the greed of Pharma, the fossil fuel industry and the billionaire class. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The mainstream media has it wrong. Delaying the infrastructure vote won't be a "setback" for Biden. It will be a major step towards passing the most transformative piece of legislation since the New Deal. There can be no infrastructure bill without a strong reconciliation bill. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Poll after poll shows that the $3.5T reconciliation bill is immensely popular, despite what some television pundits might say. Let’s deliver for the American people. Let’s get it done. https://t.co/1jHyjCPm99 — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The fate of the planet is at stake. Without a strong reconciliation bill there will be no serious effort to cut carbon emissions & transform our energy system away from fossil fuel. There must be no infrastructure bill without a major reconciliation bill to combat climate change. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
2 senators cannot be allowed to defeat what 48 senators and 210 House members want. We must stand with the working families of our country. We must combat climate change. We must delay passing the Infrastructure Bill until we pass a strong Reconciliation Bill. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
The military budget is now about $780 billion a year. Over a 10-year period, that is more than DOUBLE what the reconciliation bill will be. And yet, I hear very little discussion about throwing money at the military industrial complex. Shocking! https://t.co/3ryjFxBQ49 — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
There will be no real progress in this country unless we have the courage to take on Wall Street, the insurance companies, the drug companies, the fossil fuel industry, and all the other forces of greed. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Wealth inequality is a profound moral and economic issue this country must address. The richest two Americans cannot continue owning more wealth than the bottom 40% of our country while millions cannot afford the basics to live. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
One of the great crises facing our democracy is the power of the billionaire class over our political process. Congress must have the courage to take them on and fight for their constituents, not their billionaire campaign contributors. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Those who want to maintain the status quo in which the rich get richer while ordinary Americans struggle to make ends meet oppose the reconciliation bill. Well, I disagree. Now is the time, finally, for Congress to stand up for working families. https://t.co/0l8nC9M8gT — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
In the richest country in the history of the world, no one should have to suffer or die because they can’t afford the medicine their doctor prescribes to them. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
It’s time we do what other industrialized countries do and understand that the most important investment we can make is in children. It’s time we make pre-K education for 3-and 4-year-olds free. Yes, that is right—free. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
I strongly urge my House colleagues to vote against the bipartisan infrastructure bill until Congress passes a strong reconciliation bill. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
It also means that Congress will continue to ignore the existential threat to our country and planet with regard to climate change. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
More importantly, it will end all leverage that we have to pass a major reconciliation bill. That means there will be no serious effort to address the long-neglected crises facing the working families of our country, the children, the elderly, the sick and the poor. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Let’s be crystal clear. If the bipartisan infrastructure bill is passed on its own on Thursday, this will be in violation of an agreement that was reached within the Democratic Caucus in Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

The major corporations want Congress to lift the debt ceiling. Yet, they continue to make massive campaign contributions to the Republican Party which refuses to pay the debt incurred under Trump, and is prepared to plunge the economy into a depression. Bullshit! — PolitiTweet.org

The pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want us to lower the cost of prescription drugs. The health care industry doesn’t want us to expand Medicare. The fossil fuel industry doesn’t want us to tackle climate change. This is an enormous struggle. And we're going to win it. https://t.co/wrsjY7A4cr — PolitiTweet.org

This is America. The elderly shouldn't walk around without teeth and be unable to afford a dentist. Grandparents shouldn't be unable to talk with their family because they can't afford hearing aids. Seniors shouldn't be unable to read newspapers because they can’t afford glasses. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Far too many young people are unable to obtain the good-paying jobs that are out there because they lack the higher education. It’s long due time that every American have the right to two years of free community college. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Many of my Republican colleagues don't believe that climate change is real, or they don't believe that we should do anything about it. They are dead wrong. If we are to build a future for our children and grandchildren, we must begin by addressing the climate crisis. Period. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Nearly two-thirds of our seniors have no dental insurance and no idea how they will afford to go to a dentist. That is a disgrace, and it must end. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Today, there are almost 600,000 people sleeping out on the streets of the wealthiest country in the world. There are 18 million households spending 50% of their limited incomes on housing. It’s time to build affordable housing and create good-paying jobs in the process. — PolitiTweet.org
