It is 2020. Native American women must have equal pay for equal work: the whole dollar, not 60 cents on the dollar of what white men make. #NativeWomensEqualPay — PolitiTweet.org

Please don't tell me we can't afford to cancel student debt, make public colleges tuition-free or expand Social Security while billionaires like Donald Trump and corporations like Amazon pay nothing or next to nothing in taxes year after year. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Are you ready for a radical idea? Billionaires in the United States should not be paying less in taxes than nurses, teachers, firefighters and truck drivers. It's time to tax the $845 billion in wealth gains 643 billionaires made during the pandemic and expand Medicare to all. https://t.co/3GvFDKlb5G — PolitiTweet.org

The average registered nurse paid $11,526 in federal income taxes, while Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed billionaire, paid just $750. No. Paying less in taxes than working class Americans doesn't make Trump "smart." It makes him a bad businessman or a tax cheat— likely both. — PolitiTweet.org

While millionaires and billionaires own 79.2% of all wealth in our country, the bottom half of Americans own just 1.5% of our nation's wealth. Justice Brandeis was right: "We can have democracy, or we may have wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @SenSanders
Yes. Trump's not alone. Federal income taxes paid by corporations a year after his tax plan was signed into law: $0: Amazon $0: GM $0: Netflix $0: Chevron $0: FedEx $0: Eli Lilly $0: Starbucks Dr. King was right. We have socialism for the rich, rugged capitalism for the rest. — PolitiTweet.org

After mismanaging a deadly pandemic, Trump and Senate Republicans now want to ram through a Supreme Court nominee who will vote to destroy the Affordable Care Act, kick millions off their health care, and eliminate protections for preexisting conditions. An absolute outrage. https://t.co/fRFktIeKrI — PolitiTweet.org

It's been 4,076 days since the federal minimum wage was last raised from $6.55 an hour to $7.25 an hour. During that same time period, billionaires have seen their wealth go up by more than $2,500,000,000,000. Our job: Increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour and tax the rich. — PolitiTweet.org

In the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, hunger is a political choice. While Senate Republicans believe we can't afford to help millions of American families struggling to put food on the table, they had no problem providing a trillion-dollar tax break to the rich. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's what Senate Republicans said when they blocked President Obama's Supreme Court nominee. Do they have any integrity? The right thing to do for this vacancy is clear, and Senate Republicans know it. They've stated it clearer than I could. https://t.co/rQutaa4hG3 — PolitiTweet.org

The American people are sick and tired of brutal police killings without consequences. It’s time to fundamentally reform our racist and broken criminal justice system, end qualified immunity and hold police officers accountable. #BreonnaTaylor — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S.-funded Organization of American States falsely claimed that last year's elections in Bolivia were “fraudulent.” A military coup and repression followed. We need real accountability NOW to ensure free and fair elections in Bolivia next month. https://t.co/SMgDxYBBF6 — PolitiTweet.org

While Trump believes we can't afford to extend $600 a week to 30 million unemployed workers, he had no problem giving a $688 million bailout to defense contractors like Rolls-Royce not to build more masks and more gowns, but to build more warships and more drones. How Pathetic. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump downplayed the threat of coronavirus for political gain. He told the American people this deadly virus would disappear. As a result of his lies and rejection of science, 200,000 people in this country have died. https://t.co/EqW6lwtpWy — PolitiTweet.org

No more private prisons and private detention centers. No more profiteering from locking people up. No more "war on drugs." No more keeping people in jail because they're too poor to afford cash bail. Instead of more jails and incarceration, we need more jobs and education. — PolitiTweet.org

Now, more than ever, we must make it clear that women in America have a fundamental right to control their own bodies, not the government. And we must do everything we can to expand that right—not take it away, not weaken it. — PolitiTweet.org

Money laundering. Bribery. Mortgage fraud. Collusion. Currency manipulation. Rate tampering. These are just some of the routine business practices on Wall Street. The business model of Wall Street is fraud. It is not the exception to the rule—it is the rule. Break them up. — PolitiTweet.org

Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands three years ago today. It is a disgrace that they have not received the full federal resources they need to recover.

No worker should be paid less than the minimum wage. It's time to end the subminimum wage and guarantee truly integrated employment opportunities for people with disabilities. I'm proud that my home state of Vermont has been a leader on this issue. https://t.co/hXjRwUfAE7 — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, Sen. McConnell has decided to go against Justice Ginsburg's dying wishes and is cementing a shameful legacy of brazen hypocrisy. The right thing to do here is clear, and Senate Republicans know it. We should let voters decide. Period. https://t.co/VI5O6RCnpg — PolitiTweet.org
