As coronavirus cases rise, nurses are demanding that this for-profit, corporate hospital chain provide them with the protective gear and staffing support they need to care for their patients. I stand with the nurses striking across this country today. https://t.co/HMe8XeIrf4 — PolitiTweet.org

Donald Trump said "coronavirus deaths are way down." No, Mr. Trump. They are in fact surging. Reducing testing won't make this pandemic go away—it will only threaten the health of millions of people. https://t.co/qvYR4WEHjC — PolitiTweet.org

Cut the Pentagon. Feed, shelter, educate, and employ all our people. https://t.co/HnSGcfwr4l — PolitiTweet.org

Do not tell me that a Green New Deal is “radical.” What’s radical is doing nothing to stop climate change while the Arctic is on fire. https://t.co/VWpJWqWTu2 — PolitiTweet.org

I said it in 1993 and I'll say it again today: D.C. statehood now! https://t.co/3wkOAXzPN4 — PolitiTweet.org

Why do we spend more on the military than the next 11 nations combined? I have a better idea: Cut Pentagon spending by 10% and invest it in the fight to end homelessness, hunger and poverty in the richest country on Earth. https://t.co/vgGd8WdMbu — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Join me in a half hour, when I will speak on the Senate floor about my effort with @repmarkpocan, @RepBarbaraLee and @SenMarkey to reduce military spending by 10% and invest that money in communities ravaged by poverty, mass incarceration, deindustrialization and systemic racism. https://t.co/gCGBr5udQD — PolitiTweet.org

Over fifty years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. warned us that “a nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” That is what our amendment is all about. https://t.co/3zxcBVYMwW — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump and Senate Republicans would rather deny science than provide the American people with the economic relief and leadership they need, threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Absolutely shameful. https://t.co/bZvFYpHYAy — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, Republicans pushed empty gestures on police reform. No. Enough lip service. Any serious effort must ban chokeholds, abolish legal immunity, create unarmed civilian first responders, and strip federal funds for police that violate civil rights. https://t.co/50MTvrf09g — PolitiTweet.org

How the hell can corporations going bankrupt and laying off workers still hand out million-dollar bonuses to their CEOs? CEOs love this game: Heads, I win. Tails, you lose. This is why workers must get a say in their companies and seats on their boards. https://t.co/mpEUueYsjO — PolitiTweet.org

The pandemic surges, people die, and Trump continues to ignore reality. Let us save lives by using the Defense Production Act to produce high quality masks for everyone, and distribute them free to every household. That's the legislation I am introducing. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

As we combat a deadly pandemic, we must understand that proper sanitation and safe tap water are not luxuries to be denied to the poor—they are essential. @RepLawrence and I discuss how Congress can and must guarantee clean water to all as a human right: https://t.co/XejJiFJyav — PolitiTweet.org

Responding to the pandemic with a fierce sense of urgency means providing every working-class person in America with an emergency $2,000 payment each month until this crisis is over so that they can pay the rent, feed their families and make ends meet. https://t.co/EIw4TISY08 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Vulnerable nursing home residents are being kicked out on the street to fend for themselves, in a pandemic, because they're considered "less-profitable." How disgusting! We cannot tolerate a health care system driven by such staggering greed and cruelty. https://t.co/dZFhGaIfc7 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We must make it easier to vote—not harder. No one should be forced to wait in line for hours to participate in our elections. Our job is to fight racist voter suppression everywhere, restore the Voting Rights Act, and create a vibrant democracy. https://t.co/ECnvxxuydl — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

America can give tax breaks to billionaires, no problem. But somehow when it comes to workers' rights, we are the worst among major countries. Here's a radical idea: Maybe working people in the wealthiest country on Earth should get to live with dignity. https://t.co/0WdwZRcRMZ — PolitiTweet.org

If the U.S. does not end its involvement in the Saudi-led war, millions of Yemenis may die of famine. It makes me very proud to see our young people organizing together to bring this horrific conflict to an end. https://t.co/Vi3siDDzFK — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We have three major issues going on in this country: an economic meltdown, a horrific pandemic, and people out in the streets demanding racial justice in America. Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, what is your leadership doing to address these issues? Nothing. Do your job. — PolitiTweet.org

Target just raised the minimum wage for its 275,000 workers to $15 an hour. Now is the time for Walmart to also raise their minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. I suspect the world's richest family, the Walton family, can afford it. https://t.co/oBKi1Hf4ZH — PolitiTweet.org

To stop the spread of the coronavirus, and to reduce the obscene racial disparities in our criminal justice system, we must take urgent federal action to dramatically reduce the prison population. https://t.co/V4vxuongAd — PolitiTweet.org

It is time that we, as a nation, come to terms with slavery's horrors and how they affect every aspect of our lives today. I am proud to celebrate #Juneteenth with Mr. Danny Glover. https://t.co/nTUaN324hn — PolitiTweet.org

As the son of an immigrant, I congratulate the countless activists who made today’s Supreme Court decision possible. Together, we will reverse all the cruel things Trump has done to harm immigrants and ensure a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented people in America. https://t.co/AQZR5C8iWp — PolitiTweet.org

The real unemployment rate is over 20%—the highest since the Great Depression. No, Mr. Trump, this is not the time to take a victory lap. The government must guarantee 100% of the paychecks and benefits of American workers up to $90,000/year. Pass the Paycheck Security Act now. — PolitiTweet.org
