We will address the crisis in childcare by making sure that no working family pays more than 7 percent of their income on this basic need. Making child care more accessible and affordable will also strengthen our economy by allowing more Americans to join the work force. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We will substantially reduce our childhood poverty rate by expanding the Child Tax Credit so that families continue to receive monthly direct payments of up to $300 per child. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Under this budget, however, no family making under $400,000 a year will pay a penny more in taxes and will, in fact, receive one of the largest tax cuts in American history. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we will end the days of billionaires and large, profitable corporations not paying a nickel in federal income taxes. Yes. We will finally ask the very wealthy and largest corporations to pay their fair share of taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It will also put the U.S. in a global leadership position to combat climate change and make our planet healthy and habitable for future generations, while creating millions of good paying jobs as we address the long-neglected needs of working families and saving the planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The $3.5 trillion Budget Resolution that I am introducing today will allow the Senate to move forward on a reconciliation bill that will be the most consequential piece of legislation for working people, the elderly, the children, the sick and the poor since FDR and the New Deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Oregon and California are burning. Greece is burning. The entire planet is experiencing a major drought. Yet, as they continue to defend the fossil fuel industry, many of my Republican colleagues deny the reality of climate change.  Pathetic. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Our political task is not just to improve life for working families in terms of decent income, health care, education, etc. It is to change the political paradigm so that people demand their full rights as human beings, and not just scraps from the table. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This extension is important and will bring much-needed relief to millions. But we can’t stop here. We must continue fighting to cancel student debt and make public colleges and universities tuition-free and debt-free. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Thank you Elle Purrier St. Pierre for taking Vermont into the 1,500-meter Olympic finals.  Your hard work and dedication is an inspiration to the young people of Vermont and America. Keep up the great work! — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

My Republican colleagues don’t think we should do anything about climate change. They are dead wrong. We’re going to act and act boldly by passing major legislation to transform our energy system away from fossil fuels. The future of the planet is at stake. https://t.co/DAyAm6zhRL — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Trumka was a son of the American working class, and he never forgot where he came from. Over the years he and I worked together on many issues. He was a friend and I am saddened by his passing. Jane and I send our deepest condolences to the Trumka family. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In my view, this reconciliation bill is the most consequential legislation for working people since the New Deal. Let’s get it done. https://t.co/F1NDsSsilo — PolitiTweet.org

Elle Purrier St. Pierre, Vermont's most famous dairy farmer, fought her way into the women's Olympic 1,500-meter final! Congratulations, Elle. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I’m also very proud of @RepCori, @AOC and @USProgressives for leading the effort to push the federal government to respond directly to the needs of the working class. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I want to thank the Biden administration for finding a way to keep people in their homes while states distribute the $47 billion in assistance that Democrats in Congress provided in the American Rescue Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

As we combat a deadly pandemic that caused a level of economic suffering we’ve not seen in this country since the Great Depression, we cannot allow families to be thrown out on the street. Today’s extension of the eviction moratorium is life-changing news for millions of people. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We cannot allow people to be thrown onto the streets. We must extend the eviction moratorium. https://t.co/BoyrZPuHFY — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Senate will soon begin considering a transformational piece of legislation. I'm on the floor NOW giving remarks about what's in it. https://t.co/6TNUDHDXS4 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It’s outrageous that in the middle of a deadly pandemic the eviction moratorium has ended. I’m proud to stand with… https://t.co/ZkE6Ux2pWV — PolitiTweet.org

Elle Purrier St. Pierre, the Montgomery, Vermont dairy farmer, advanced tonight to the women's 1,500-meter semifinal in Tokyo. Congratulations, Elle. Vermont is rooting for you! — PolitiTweet.org

Less than 0.004% of fully vaccinated people had a breakthrough case that led to hospitalization and less than 0.001% of fully vaccinated people died from a breakthrough Covid-19 case. GET VACCINATED. https://t.co/wGu4sUpSmA — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure is important. Addressing the long-neglected needs of working families is even more important. And we MUST address the existential threat of climate change. There can be no infrastructure bill without a reconciliation bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If you paid $20 to mail a Federal Express package overnight, you paid more to Federal Express than it paid in federal income taxes over the past 3 years after making over $8.2 billion in profits. Yes, we are going to demand that companies like FedEx pay their fair share of taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It’s a disgrace that the eviction moratorium is about to expire. Rent is due tomorrow. In case anyone forgot, we've been going through a deadly pandemic that caused an economic crisis. We can’t allow families to be thrown out on the street. Congress and the White House must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In 1965, half of seniors over the age of 65 had no medical insurance. The passage of Medicare 56 years ago today ended that injustice. Now is the time to lower the Medicare eligibility age to at least 60 and expand the program to include dental, vision, and hearing care. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I had the honor of serving with Carl in the Senate for a number of years. He was a man of intelligence, decency and commitment. Jane and I send our condolences to the Levin family. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time of unprecedented heatwaves, drought, flooding, extreme weather, and the acidification of the oceans, now is the time for us to make certain that the planet we leave future generations is healthy and habitable. That means finally standing up to the fossil fuel industry. — PolitiTweet.org
