Let's be clear. Trump and his crony DeJoy are working overtime to sabotage the Postal Service. Now is the time for all of us to stand with postal workers fighting to save USPS. Together, we will stop Trump from destroying the Postal Service. https://t.co/llY19zIxbp — PolitiTweet.org

$3.7 billion in a single day. That's how much 3 members of the Walton family saw their wealth increase. At a time of massive wealth and income inequality, when so many of our people are hurting, that is morally obscene. It's time to tax billionaires and expand Medicare to all. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Sanctioning the International Criminal Court shows once again that Trump is on the side of authoritarians around the world. The United States should be working to strengthen international human rights standards, not targeting officials who uphold them. https://t.co/CwO3TrKc1x — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump's disastrous plan to defund Social Security would eliminate retirement and disability benefits by 2023. We're not going to let that happen. We are going to protect and expand Social Security. https://t.co/5ZOA4dbWNK — PolitiTweet.org

12 million people lost their employer-sponsored health insurance during this pandemic. Meanwhile, health insurers like Anthem, Humana, and UnitedHealth doubled their profits from last year. Medicare for All means never losing your health insurance if you lose your job. Period. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Disgusting. Jeff Bezos became the richest man on Earth while spying on, underpaying, and mistreating his workers. We must build a powerful trade union movement to stand up to the billionaire class and finally say: Enough. You cannot have it all. https://t.co/9gjeWv67D6 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Rent is due tomorrow. My question is this: with 40 million facing the threat of eviction, how in the world does Sen. McConnell think they're going to cobble up enough income to keep a roof over their heads during this crisis? It is time to cancel rent until this crisis is over. https://t.co/7EXu2IsWDz — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

When politicians say that climate change is not real, it’s not just that they’re lying. It’s not just that they’re rejecting science. They are turning their backs on the people of Louisiana, who are dealing with the catastrophic impacts of climate change today. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Dr. King challenged all of us to fight against 3 major evils: “the evil of racism, the evil of poverty and the evil of war.” If there was ever a moment in history when we needed to fulfill Dr. King’s call for justice and demand a “radical revolution of values," now is that time. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

57 years ago, hundreds of thousands of people came together for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. We are still fighting for many of the demands being made then. Today, we will not only honor the memory of that march, but also carry on the struggle for racial justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Here's the economic reality under Trump: 29 million Americans don't have enough food 30 million unemployed workers lost $600 a week in benefits 40 million face eviction All while 467 billionaires made $800 billion in 5 months Our job: Create an economy that works for all — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Never forget. While Trump came within 1 vote in the Senate from taking away health insurance from 32 million Americans, his administration had no problem handing out billions in corporate welfare to the pharmaceutical industry – the most profitable industry in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The people of Louisiana are now facing 4 emergencies: ⚠️ A massive hurricane ⚠️ COVID-19 ⚠️ Environmental racism ⚠️ A massive petrochemical fire It's time to take on the fossil fuel industry, end environmental racism and provide these communities with all the help they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Cancel student debt now. All of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Green New Deal is not radical, but let me tell you what is: A president who rejects science and calls climate change a hoax while unprecedented hurricanes batter the Gulf, wildfires rage in the west, an 800-mile derecho destroys towns and the Arctic melts. That's radical. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The fact that Jeff Bezos became the world's first $200 billion man at a time of unprecedented human pain and suffering is morally grotesque. No. Billionaires should not be allowed to make $800 billion during a pandemic. Our job: Tax the rich and expand Medicare to all. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Never forget. Over 2 years ago, Trump and the GOP Congress looted the Treasury to give a $1 trillion tax break to the top 1% and large corporations. Now, Trump is working overtime to defund Social Security and the Postal Service. That is the type of looting we have got to end. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

While Trump and the GOP Senate don't believe we can afford to provide the working class another $1,200, they had no problem giving defense contractors $370 billion in corporate welfare to profit from endless war. Yes. That's socialism for the rich, rugged capitalism for the rest. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Remember the state of the economy before the pandemic: —Half of Americans lived paycheck to paycheck —40% of adults didn't have $400 for an emergency —87 million were uninsured or underinsured —41 million workers made less than $15 an hour No. That was not a "great economy." — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

While a record number of Americans are unemployed, the very rich continue to get richer. In 5 months, the wealth of 3 billionaires increased by: ⬆️$81.9 billion: Jeff Bezos ⬆️$60.6 billion: Elon Musk ⬆️$41.8 billion: Mark Zuckerberg #MakeBillionairesPay https://t.co/RkbJQJfTbg — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

What President Trump is saying is, "I cannot lose this election. If I win, great. If I lose, it's rigged.” This is a major effort to undermine our democracy and our election system. We have got to make it clear to Donald Trump: If you lose, you're leaving office. Period. https://t.co/hKMYqVJVhs — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

$5,200,000,000 a day.   $36,600,000,000 a week.   $731,800,000,000 in 5 months.   That's how much the collective net worth of 467 billionaires grew during a pandemic that has cost 30 million jobs and 176,000 lives.   It's time to tax billionaires and guarantee health care to all. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Social Security Administration confirmed what we already knew. Trump's disastrous plan to defund Social Security would eliminate retirement and disability benefits by 2023. That may make sense to the billionaires at Trump's country club, but it makes zero sense to me. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Postmaster General needs to resign or be removed from office now. We need a Postmaster General who will work overtime to ensure the prompt delivery of mail—not a top Trump campaign contributor who is undermining the Postal Service and slowing down the mail. DeJoy must go. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The fact that Wall Street executives made an obscene $3 billion profit off of the death and destruction of California's raging wildfires shows you just how absurd and cruel casino capitalism has become. We need an economy that works for all, not the 1%. https://t.co/Hw3CmRb0PK — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The world is rapidly becoming more unhealthy and unsafe right in front of our eyes. If we don't act soon, we will see more devastating fires, more extreme weather disturbances, and massive human suffering. We can't afford to wait any longer. We need the Green New Deal now. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Thirty million don't have enough to eat, 22 million are behind on rent. It is morally obscene that the American people have to rely on GoFundMe to pay for rent and food. Mitch McConnell: End your vacation. Pass emergency relief now. https://t.co/qXLhCnlSpK — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The federal minimum wage for tipped workers is a starvation wage of $2.13 an hour. We must raise it to at least $15 an hour and make it easier for workers to join unions. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

$5,000,000,000. That's what the average billionaire has made every single day during this crisis while tens of millions don't know where their next meal will come from. We must tax the windfall profits of the billionaire class and provide health care to all our people. — PolitiTweet.org
