Even the Congressional Budget Office run by the Republicans concluded that Medicare for All would provide universal health care to everyone in America and cost $650 billion LESS than our current dysfunctional health care system each and every year. Yes. We need #MedicareForAll. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The COVID-relief bill that Congress will vote on today will help many, but goes nowhere near far enough. The Biden Administration, on day 1, must bring forth a major economic relief bill that addresses the severe economic pain of working families— including more direct payments. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

During the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, there should NOT be a tradeoff between survival checks that the working class, seniors, children & the disabled desperately need and emergency unemployment benefits. In the richest country in the world, we must do both. — PolitiTweet.org

Over the past 9 months, 651 billionaires in America became over $1 trillion richer. During the same time, the working class, the elderly and the disabled were told to survive on just a $1,200 check. $1 trillion for billionaires. One $1,200 check for the rest. That is immoral. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I told my Senate colleagues loudly and clearly: Congress should be working 24 hours, 7 days a week until we pass a bill that addresses the pain and anxiety of millions of families throughout this country. Period. https://t.co/SG3rITxp9t — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, I called on the Senate to do what the American people overwhelmingly want: provide $1,200 directly to the working class. We cannot leave Washington to be with our families until we address the pain of millions of other families. Read my speech: https://t.co/A32DnQldfg https://t.co/Qn3G6REWkx — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I am on the floor urging the Senate to provide $1,200 direct payments to all working-class Americans and $500 to their kids. Millions are out of work, hungry, and can’t pay rent. The American people need their government to step up and pass this relief. https://t.co/R5JetEqP3q — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time when tens of millions of American workers are struggling economically, I will be going to the Senate floor at 4PM today to ask unanimous consent for my legislation to provide a direct payment of $1,200 for all working-class Americans and $500 for their children. https://t.co/C8g0wHHyRi — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Until recently, there was no direct relief being considered for desperate, hungry people facing eviction. What I have fought for—with progressives and conservatives—is direct payments to the working class. We are making progress in Congress, but we must go much further. https://t.co/OgdoVj2Ouw — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I am on the Senate floor to say clearly: America's working class is in the worst financial shape since the Great Depression. We must fight for a COVID-19 package that provides real relief for working families. https://t.co/JlbUE4Zrf6 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Over 60 grassroots organizations representing millions of people are demanding Congress provide $1,200 direct payments to working-class adults and $500 to kids. It is time for Congress to listen to the will of the people and pass relief for working families. https://t.co/tazt8b9c6S — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Congress can't go home for the Christmas holidays until we pass legislation which provides a $1,200 direct payment to working class adults, $2,400 for couples and $500 for kids. This is what Democrats & Republicans did in March through the CARES Act. It's what we must do today. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The most effective way to keep Americans out of poverty is providing every working-class adult $1,200 and $500 for their kids. 75% of Americans want Congress to prioritize these payments in COVID-19 relief—far above everything else. Congressional leadership must listen to them. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Congress should be working 24 hours, 7 days a week until we pass a bill that provides emergency assistance to the American people in their time of need. That bill must include $1,200 direct payments to working-class individuals, $2,400 for couples and $500 for kids. https://t.co/wWxrI1WLqg — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I introduced an amendment with @HawleyMO that would provide a direct payment of $1,200 for working-class individuals, $2,400 for couples and $500 for kids. If that amendment was signed into law, what would it mean for you and your family? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Members of Congress cannot go back to our families for the holidays when children in the richest country on Earth are going hungry and millions are scared to death of eviction. We must pass my amendment with @HawleyMO to get $1,200 direct checks to the working class of America. https://t.co/gIy04xDXqp — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Yes. We must abolish the death penalty— period. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

These are very, very difficult times for working families. I want to thank all of you for your help in getting Congress to support my bipartisan amendment to provide every working-class adult with $1,200, and $500 for their kids. Congress cannot leave without doing that. https://t.co/g0VmhYsnKR — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I am on the Senate floor to introduce a bipartisan amendment to provide $1,200 in direct payments to working-class adults and $500 to each of their kids. In the midst of this pandemic, Congress cannot go on recess without providing this relief. https://t.co/9qkTjKwaYh — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Yesterday alone, over 3,000 died from this horrific virus. The working class of this country is in the worst financial shape since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The American people need help and they need help NOW! https://t.co/fJzx5N9tHi — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I am going to the Senate floor to vote AGAINST Trump’s huge arms sale to the United Arab Emirates. The United States should be working to deescalate conflict in the Middle East, not fueling it by selling more and more weapons to regimes using them to kill civilians. https://t.co/2Gi1IZATuR — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

With so many people facing economic desperation, Congress cannot recess until we pass a COVID-19 relief bill that includes at least $1,200 in direct payments for adults, $500 for kids, expanded unemployment benefits and emergency aid for states and cities to prevent mass layoffs. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Here in Washington when we go to war: there's endless amounts of money Tax breaks for billionaires: endless amounts of money Corporate welfare: endless amounts of money But when children are going hungry in America today, suddenly we don't have enough money. That's wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Given the horrific extent of this crisis, it would be unacceptable to take a major step backwards and pass legislation that only included $348 billion in new money. My colleagues and I are demanding real relief for the American people. https://t.co/EddUlQR8uT — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The American people need help and they need help now. That means any COVID-19 relief deal must include: -$1,200 direct payments to the working class -No get-out-of-jail free card to corporations that put the lives of their workers and customers at risk https://t.co/0hNeyXB7El — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The $1,200 direct payments to working class adults and $500 for children passed in March kept 3.3 million Americans out of poverty. Today, 1 in 4 workers are unemployed or make less than $20,000. Congress must provide direct payments to the working class NOW! At least $1,200. — PolitiTweet.org
