It is truly outrageous that Senate Republicans refuse to act as tens of millions lose their jobs, income and health care. It’s time to join the rest of the world. Congress must make sure that every worker keeps their paycheck and health insurance until this crisis is over. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We need a national policy, based upon science, which helps states and communities go forward—bring workers back, bring kids back to school, if necessary—but do so in a safe way that does not needlessly sacrifice thousands of lives. https://t.co/o7N4IlG235 — PolitiTweet.org

Michigan families face a new threat: flooding made worse by climate change and a failure to invest in infrastructure. This disaster reminds us we are all Americans. When any community is in trouble, all of our resources must be mobilized. Our thoughts are with everyone impacted. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In this difficult moment, do not allow Trump and his friends to divide us up. Let us stand with Asian Americans who are fighting racism and xenophobia—even as they care for the sick. Now is the time to act with unprecedented compassion and solidarity. https://t.co/0u8iXOYOoH — PolitiTweet.org

If we can bail out large corporations, we can ensure everyone in this country has the income to support themselves and afford basic necessities during this crisis. One $1,200 check ain't enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The CEO of @kroger got paid $21.1 million a year as its workers struggle to get by on $26,000. Kroger got a 30% boost in sales in March, but is ending $2-an-hour hazard pay. Disgusting. It can damn well afford to pay grocery workers a dignified wage as they risk their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Pompeo told Congress the Saudis were "protecting" civilians as they bombed Yemen. Trump issued a fake "emergency" to keep selling bombs. A Raytheon lobbyist became Secretary of Defense. Thousands of Yemenis died, Raytheon profits went up. Trump is now covering up this crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is a scandal that we have a president of the United States who does not understand the function of government. We should have national policies to deal with this pandemic based on science—not theories retweeted by Trump. https://t.co/m2IQcfpvMx — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We should ask ourselves, is health care a benefit that somehow we lose when we lose our jobs? Or is it simply a human right that all of us deserve? https://t.co/M0xna6jNX5 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Racist redlining denied wealth to generations of Black Americans. Today, the fossil fuel industry dumps its pollution on communities of color. This comment from Trump’s Energy Secretary is disgusting. https://t.co/3fGcp4874g — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Since Day One, this president has thought he’s above the law, above criticism, and can get away with anything—including a fake "emergency" to sell bombs to Saudi Arabia. It is becoming clear he fired an Inspector General for investigating such misconduct. https://t.co/WCzXYbdnT9 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I happen to believe we should go in the direction of a paycheck security process which says to every worker in America: you will continue to receive your paycheck and benefits during this crisis. https://t.co/vVEf7KOqOs — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Why did Trump veto our bill to end the horrific U.S. role in Saudi Arabia's bombings of Yemeni children? Because we have a president who puts Raytheon's profits ahead of human life. It's time to rein in this corrupt White House and stop this war. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If we have any sense of morality as a nation, we have got to worry about the 20% of kids who today face hunger and the older people who are isolated, not getting the food they need. Those must be our priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

No. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We need to lift the burden of outrageous health care bills off the shoulders of working-class families. Our approach is simple, efficient, and universal: During this crisis, Medicare should cover all out-of-pocket health costs for everyone in America. https://t.co/WLwLco0PUl — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

While wealthy people quarantine in the luxury of their summer homes, low-income workers are being forced to go back to work and put their lives on the line. This virus has grossly exposed the inequities of our economic system. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

$1,200 doesn't cut it. Congress must send a monthly $2,000 check to every person who needs it until this crisis is over. https://t.co/u23UMVwCpl — PolitiTweet.org

No one in this country should be afraid to go to the doctor because of cost amidst this horrific pandemic. We must empower Medicare to pay all of the medical bills of the uninsured and the under-insured. https://t.co/qplCt7fVta — PolitiTweet.org

No on in this country should be afraid to go to the doctor because of cost amidst this horrific pandemic. We must empower Medicare to pay all of the medical bills of the uninsured and the under-insured. https://t.co/qplCt7fVta — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Coronavirus has killed more than 85,000 people. Some 36 million workers have lost their jobs. Good thing President Trump is looking out for the real victims of the coronavirus: fossil fuel executives. https://t.co/4sj6gT53f9 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

These global leaders are right. As soon as an effective COVID-19 vaccine is approved it must be guaranteed to everyone—not just in the United States, but throughout the world. Let us put human lives ahead of corporate greed. https://t.co/6crDptz9bT — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At this week's Senate hearing, Trump administration officials repeatedly evaded my simple question. So I am once again asking: @SecAzar, when a COVID-19 vaccine is approved, will it be made available to everyone in America without cost? https://t.co/wf8KRCsxR5 — PolitiTweet.org

Here is the bottom line: If we are to avoid another Great Depression, it is absolutely imperative that every worker in this country continues to receive a paycheck and benefits. https://t.co/TuyCL5OShA — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, I believe the Senate must substantially expand direct emergency payments to working families. In my view, one additional $1,200 check is not enough. The Senate must provide a $2,000 per month emergency payment for every American until this crisis is over. — PolitiTweet.org
