As Chairman of the Budget Committee, I believe that NOW is the time to address the long-term crises facing working families. And, yes. We can pay for many of these proposals by demanding that the wealthy and large corporations start paying their fair share of taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

The court’s decision to not overturn the ACA and throw 31 million Americans off their health care is welcome. But it's not enough. Health care is a human right, not a privilege. We must join other major countries in guaranteeing health care for all and pass Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Disability rights are civil rights. It's time to #DemolishDisabledPoverty once and for all. We must expand SSI. — PolitiTweet.org

In the richest country in the history of the world, medical debt should not exist. — PolitiTweet.org

While 90 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured and while 600,000 died in the pandemic, the CEOs of six health insurance companies made a combined $236 million in 2020, 45% more than in 2019. This is why we need Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

After an unimaginably difficult year, today we celebrate Vermont reaching a major vaccination threshold. Let’s thank everyone working to keep our community safe. We must also ensure vulnerable Vermonters are protected after the state of emergency order is lifted. — PolitiTweet.org

Space travel, heavily funded by taxpayers, should not be a play thing for the very rich. — PolitiTweet.org

Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said it all. "What we have in the United States Senate is total unity from Susan Collins to Ted Cruz in opposition to what the new Biden administration is trying to do to this country.” That is precisely why we must end the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Mitch McConnell has told us everything we need to know. "What we have in the United States Senate is total unity from Susan Collins to Ted Cruz in opposition to what the new Biden administration is trying to do to this country.” That is precisely why we must end the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Last I heard, dental, hearing and vision are part of health care. We must expand Medicare to cover these basic services. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Income and wealth inequality is soaring, wages for workers have been stagnant for almost 50 years and some billionaires pay nothing in federal income taxes. Hey! Maybe it's time for the government to start representing the middle class, and not just the 1%. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, we couldn’t get any Senate Republicans to support legislation to guarantee equal pay for equal work. Do we really believe more time and more negotiations will get them to vote for an infrastructure package that truly addresses the crises we face? I don’t think so. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

For decades our government has stood up for the rich and the powerful. It’s time for the government to stand up for the working class of this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I don’t want to sound too partisan, but the Republican Party has made clear that they are not prepared to stand up for the American people and address the many crises facing working families today. We can get to work without them. https://t.co/nIHssvAEdq — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The time is now to massively invest in our infrastructure and create millions of good-paying union jobs in the process. https://t.co/73usECSdvn — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. must lead the way in crushing the coronavirus pandemic everywhere, and I’m pleased the Biden Administration has taken strong action to get more people vaccinated around the world. Everyone, rich or poor, deserves the right to get a life-saving Covid-19 vaccine. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @VP: I applaud Vermont for passing a bill to make voting by mail more accessible. A more inclusive democracy is a stronger democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

55 of the largest corporations in the U.S. paid no federal corporate income taxes last year, but spent nearly $450 million on lobbying. Outrageous. We must get big money out of politics and create an economy that works for all of us, not just the top 1%. https://t.co/gPrnihl2ou — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Enough is enough. Every state in this country has a crumbling infrastructure. Now is the time to put our people back to work by finally addressing the structural problems we face. Let’s get it done. https://t.co/CDjyrN3FZq — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In 2007 and 2011, Jeff Bezos, the wealthiest man alive, paid nothing in federal income taxes. In 2018, Elon Musk, the 2nd wealthiest person in America, paid nothing in federal income taxes. Yes. At a time of massive wealth and income inequality, we must tax the rich. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

As we see Republican-led voter suppression efforts across the country, I’m proud Vermont is expanding voting rights. Congress must act NOW to remove barriers to the ballot box and make it easier for people to vote, not harder. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

LIVE: The Budget Committee is holding a hearing on President Biden's budget proposal, which is the most significant agenda for working families in the modern history of our country. Now is the time to think big, not small. https://t.co/V6nICO7K0p — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If we are serious about calling ourselves a democracy, we need to end voter suppression and make it easier for people to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

On this day in 1944, Allied forces launched the invasion of Normandy to free Europe from Hitler and fascism. Many brave soldiers died defending democracy. We must not forget their sacrifice. The struggle to protect democracy continues. We must not fail. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

No, Judge Benitez. AR-15 rifles are not equivalent to a Swiss Army knife. They are military style weapons that can, and have, killed dozens of people in a few minutes. The American people want common sense gun safety legislation. This decision should be appealed and overturned. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Hmm. When the GOP passed legislation to provide a $1 trillion tax break to corporations & the 1% without a single Democratic vote, I didn't hear my Republican colleagues say "Wait. It has to be bipartisan." Please don't tell me we can't use the same tools to help working people. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Republicans understand that their agenda of tax breaks for billionaires and cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is unpopular, so they’re doing all they can to make it harder to vote in America. Shameful. We are going to go forward to protect democracy. https://t.co/lhJxNY5Kzr — PolitiTweet.org
