$33.4 billion. That's how much the wealth of Jeff Bezos and six other billionaires increased last week while millions of Americans were filing for unemployment. Our society cannot sustain itself when so few have so much, while so many have so little. https://t.co/XwlhIXTMzS — PolitiTweet.org

Let me congratulate Sara Nelson and the flight attendants on their historic victory to ensure that 2 million airline workers receive their paychecks and benefits during this crisis. Congress must now extend these protections to every worker in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Smalls organized Amazon warehouse workers to demand protective gear, paid sick leave, and workplace safety. Rather than change its policies, Amazon fired him. I say to Jeff Bezos: Enough! We will not tolerate CEOs who intimidate workers fighting for their human rights. https://t.co/5UKMl9b38w — PolitiTweet.org

Billionaire bankers just love socialism for the rich. Greedy hedge fund managers are now calling themselves "small businesses" to apply for government handouts. That is wrong. This aid is desperately needed to help Main Street, not Wall Street. https://t.co/x73kh9TaSB — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Instead of firing employees who want justice, maybe Jeff Bezos—the richest man in the world—can focus on providing his workers with paid sick leave, a safe workplace, and a livable planet. https://t.co/EdabC2tW3U — PolitiTweet.org

We are looking today at doctors and nurses who can't acquire the masks they need as they put their lives on the line. Yet we are the wealthiest country in the history of the world. How does that happen? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump knows mail-in ballots mean a larger voter turnout, which he does not want to see. That is pretty pathetic. My colleagues and I are working as hard as we can to pass legislation so that as many people as possible can safely participate in our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Leilani Jordan said she wasn't given gloves or hand sanitizer. Now this grocery worker is dead at 27 over a $20.64 paycheck. Is this what America is about? Or will we fight for protective gear, hazard pay, and paid sick leave for all frontline workers?https://t.co/rpkOV0z69B — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Even before this pandemic, a majority of our workers lived paycheck to paycheck. 1 in 7 children didn’t get enough to eat. 40% couldn’t afford a $400 emergency. Let us learn from this crisis. Let us finally eradicate hunger and poverty in the richest country in human history. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is beyond insane that corporate hospital administrators gave nurses protective gear only after they were tested positive for coronavirus. We need emergency labor standards and swift enforcement to protect our frontline medical workers NOW. https://t.co/WSG4eYpheQ — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We cannot allow Donald Trump to use this horrific pandemic as an opportunity to bankrupt and privatize the Postal Service. Now, more than ever, we need a strong and vibrant postal system to deliver mail 6-days a week. Congress must act now to save it. https://t.co/W0YSGHm3AH — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The idea that we treat health care as an employee benefit is totally absurd. As millions are losing their jobs, my bill with @RepJayapal says: We will take a burden off your shoulders. In this crisis, you will get all the health care you need for free. https://t.co/jTmzx60DLm — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Governors across America have pleaded with the White House to get equipment, chemicals, and supplies to test and protect people during this pandemic. Trump’s ridiculous response has done so much harm and will cost the lives of many thousands of Americans. https://t.co/Nt6CTV5TkR — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is absolutely outrageous that Donald Trump and Steve Mnuchin have still not approved grants included in the CARES Act to fully fund the paychecks and benefits of 2 million airline workers. @stevenmnuchin1: Stop delaying these grants. Pay the airline workers now. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We are only as safe as the least-insured among us. Today, I am introducing emergency legislation with @RepJayapal to: ✔️ Empower Medicare to cover treatment for the uninsured ✔️ Cover all out-of-pocket costs for those with insurance during this pandemic https://t.co/wAfyEIPLkW — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

My friend Rep. Tlaib is right. At a time when hand-washing is saving lives, no one should be denied water—period. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

If today we had the same level of inequality we had forty years ago, the bottom 90% of American households would be earning $12,000 more every year. $120,000 per decade. Do not tell me we cannot afford to cover the paychecks of every worker during this horrific pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is outrageous that in the richest country in the history of the world, people are going hungry. Congress must radically increase food assistance programs and offer grocery delivery options to ensure all people are able to eat safely during this crisis. https://t.co/zkvsGFdHOA — PolitiTweet.org

How the hell are you supposed to wash your hands during a pandemic when your water has been shut off? We must require utility companies to restore services to all who have been disconnected, and prohibit all new shutoffs until this crisis is over. https://t.co/bfY5eRO2hk — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

To support the American people during this pandemic, Congress must: 💵 Guarantee 100% of all workers' paychecks 💊 Empower Medicare to pay all out-of-pocket costs 🏦 Provide $2,000 a month for all 🤒 Give paid sick leave to all workers 🏡 Suspend rent and mortgage payments — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This crisis makes clear what we have known for decades. If we are sincere about the needs of ordinary Americans, we must pass a single-payer national program to guarantee health care for all Americans. https://t.co/0T5WCvUqy6 — PolitiTweet.org

RT @realDonaldTrump: Republicans should fight very hard when it comes to state wide mail-in voting. Democrats are clamoring for it. Tremend… — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The president is acting out of political self-interest during a pandemic. I believe Congress must provide leadership instead. Here is how: https://t.co/fSKgsyFz6a — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is unacceptable that African Americans are getting sick and dying from the coronavirus at such disproportionately high rates. We must solve the horrific racial disparities in health that we have in this country. https://t.co/dtrCYwCqfT — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Amazon workers have tested positive for coronavirus—which may live for up to 24 hours on cardboard—at 50 warehouses. In my view, failures by Amazon to keep workers safe are not only putting their employees at risk. They place the entire country at risk. https://t.co/rBsFOC9Hca — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

At a time when millions of people are losing their jobs and their health insurance, the United States government must guarantee that you will have all of the health care you need. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

During this pandemic, know your rights! For most renters, you cannot be evicted or charged penalties for not paying rent. For most homeowners, you can request a forbearance on your mortgage. https://t.co/Qc96viEqNG — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We have got to do everything we can to make sure that right now, our people are safe, get the paychecks that they need, receive medical care for free, and have a roof over their heads. All American workers must be made whole. — PolitiTweet.org
