Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Thank you to the over 900 Vermonters who joined our town meetings this weekend in Springfield, Newport, and St. Johnsbury. If you haven’t had a chance to come out, please join us tomorrow in Brattleboro and Middlebury! https://t.co/CeLoCS1Omq — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let's be clear. Climate change is causing devastating harm in the U.S. and around the world. Not to pass the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, which has unprecedented spending to cut carbon emissions, would be grossly irresponsible. We must pass this bill and save the planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

There is an enormous amount of work to be done as we transform our energy system away from fossil fuel and cut carbon emissions, and hundreds of thousands of members of the Civilian Climate Corps are going to be at the forefront of that struggle. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Rebuilding our crumbling physical infrastructure – roads, bridges, water systems – is important. Rebuilding our crumbling human infrastructure – health care, education, climate change – is more important. No infrastructure bill without the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Vermonters: My Labor Day Weekend Town Meetings are coming up! RSVP now to join me and other special guests for good food, good music, and good discussion. I hope to see you this weekend. https://t.co/GJOVhQgFTp https://t.co/qc2jGAj20O — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Even after the devastation caused by Hurricane Ida, my Republican colleagues will say combatting climate change is too expensive. I ask again: compared to what? More flooding, power outages, droughts, heat waves, and extreme weather events? We need transformative change NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Sadly, the Republican Party has turned its back on democracy and instead focused on massive voter suppression. We must make it easier for people to vote – not harder. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Remember some of the same people who tell us we can’t afford to make community college free or provide paid family leave, all support massive tax breaks for the wealthy and big corporations. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Nearly half a century ago, the Supreme Court affirmed abortion as a constitutional right. This Supreme Court's refusal to overturn Texas’ law banning abortion is outrageous. Women get to control their bodies, not politicians and not judges. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Endless money for tax breaks for the rich? No problem. Endless money for wars? No problem. But when it comes to combatting climate change and addressing the needs of the working class, Republicans say we can’t afford it. Not acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This is what oligarchy and a corrupt political system are all about. The rich and large corporations get richer, and their lobbyists do everything possible to protect their wealth and greed. Not this time. We must pass a Reconciliation Bill that works for all, not just the few. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Vermonters: Join me this Labor Day Weekend for town meetings across the state with live music and food! I’ll be discussing the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill and how it will finally address the needs of working families here in Vermont and all across our country. https://t.co/sK7oTdkplh — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is unacceptable to me that seniors in the richest country on earth cannot afford the hearing aids or the eyeglasses they need to hear and see their grandchildren. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time when tens of millions of people are working for starvation wages, Republicans think they can starve people back to work. That is unacceptable. https://t.co/9qRexG6dLs — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The destruction from Hurricane Ida is devastating. Our thoughts are with those in danger and with first responders saving lives. But let's be clear. If we do not act boldly to combat climate change, what we see today will become the norm as the planet becomes more uninhabitable. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Republicans L-O-V-E to give tax breaks to billionaires and large corporations, so I understand why they might be a little shocked that we are finally going to invest in working families. It’s time to create an economy that works for all of us, not just the 1%. https://t.co/dG9oPwYxin — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I've got a message for the healthcare industry: Your days of writing legislation are over. We will expand Medicare to provide dental, vision and hearing coverage to benefit seniors, not to pad the profits of healthcare industry CEOs. And we will do it by taking on your greed. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

RT @NationalNurses: Bernie and union nurses have worked together for years to elevate #MedicareForAll to the mainstream. Join us now to he… — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, we mourn the loss of the members of the U.S. military killed at Kabul Airport. These soldiers played an extraordinary role in helping to evacuate over 80,000 people – Americans and Afghans. Their bravery and sacrifice will not be forgotten. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Nearly 18 million households are paying over 50% of their incomes on housing. That is absurd. It’s time for bold action. It’s time for an unprecedented investment in affordable housing. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The gap between the very rich and everybody else is wider than ever. Today, we have two people with more wealth than the bottom 40% and, incredibly, during the pandemic, billionaires have seen their wealth surge, while workers on the frontlines are paid starvation wages. ENOUGH. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Congratulations to Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats for passing the $3.5 trillion Budget Resolution. Now, let us move forward aggressively to transform this country by passing both the Reconciliation Bill and the Infrastructure Bill. Working families are counting on us. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Unless Congress passes the reconciliation bill, the $300 monthly checks sent to every working family in America will expire in December. We cannot let that happen. These checks are a big reason why childhood poverty in America has been cut by 61%. No reconciliation bill, no deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Unless we pass the reconciliation bill: -Seniors won't get dental, vision, hearing & home care -Drug prices will soar -Families will be denied $300 a month per kid -Climate change will worsen. -Families won't receive childcare & affordable housing No reconciliation, no deal — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Since 2009, 45% of all new income has gone into the hands of the wealthiest 1%. Is that acceptable to you? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Rebuilding our crumbling physical infrastructure is very important. Rebuilding our human infrastructure, the needs of working families, the children, the elderly and the sick, is more important. No bipartisan infrastructure bill without the reconciliation bill. They go together. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The cost of going to a dentist has gone up by more than 80 percent since 1990. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A huge fire in Siberia is casting smoke for 3,000 miles. Greece: burning. California: burning. Oregon: burning. July 2021 was the hottest month ever recorded. We must combat climate change now. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In the past, the disasters we are seeing around the world might have seemed like an absurd plot in some apocalypse movie. Unfortunately, this is our new reality, and it will only get much worse in years to come if we do not act boldly – now. — PolitiTweet.org
