Just how rich are Wall Street speculators? A tax of just a few pennies on their financial trading can fund tuition-free public college for all and erase all $1,700,239,090,564 in student debt. This is how we make higher education a right in America. — PolitiTweet.org

⬆️In 1965, public college tuition was $2,000 a year. Now it’s $10,000. ⬇️In 1968 the minimum wage was $10. Now it’s $7.25. If we're not supposed to learn from other wealthy countries, we can sure as hell look at policies America had 50 years ago, when we were half as rich. — PolitiTweet.org

The financial sector grew fivefold as a share of the economy since the 1970s. The result? More greed, corruption, criminality, bloated CEO pay, financial crashes and taxpayer bailouts. Maybe Wall Street should face some downsizing so that the working class can finally thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

For the price of this single $13 billion warship—a total boondoggle—we could provide America's children universal school lunches for a full year. This is why we must confront the military-industrial complex and end the profiteering off of weapons of war. https://t.co/sK6Prp2G2t — PolitiTweet.org

A majority of our seniors get most of their income from Social Security—less than $1,500 a month, on average. Washington lobbyists can spend that in one night on a fancy dinner! Tell me why we can give billionaires tax breaks but can't afford to expand Social Security. — PolitiTweet.org

Why are Wall Street investors getting scared of fossil fuel stocks? Because the climate justice movement is making it clear that political pressure for divestment will not stop. It will only grow stronger. To protect our planet, we are taking on Big Oil—and we're winning. — PolitiTweet.org

By a vote of 51 to 49, the Senate refused to subpoena witnesses in this impeachment trial. I've never heard of a trial where you don't have witnesses. This is a sad day in American history. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A fair impeachment trial means hearing testimony from witnesses. This is not a radical idea. So what are Republicans afraid of? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The richest 400 billionaires pay lower taxes than fast-food workers. If we are to stop the war being waged by the billionaire class against working Americans, we need a tax on extreme wealth. https://t.co/oM024CpCzh — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud the House of Representatives for passing the Stop War Against Iran Act that I introduced with @RepRoKhanna, and @RepBarbaraLee's repeal of the 2002 Authorization for Use of Military Force. The Senate must now take up these vital bills to stop endless war. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Instead of fixing our broken health care system, Trump continues to waste time and endanger lives trying to kick people off Medicaid. He should listen to the 90 percent of Americans who think Medicaid is important and expand the program, not cut it. https://t.co/z44SYfpRh2 — PolitiTweet.org

I don't mind if @MarkRuffalo spoils his own movies. But please, don't ruin the surprise of our new legislation with Rep. @AOC, @SenJeffMerkley and @RepDarrenSoto. I don't want the dirty fracking industry CEOs to know what hit them. https://t.co/OBbQnpOHsy — PolitiTweet.org

This is what oligarchy looks like: large corporations get trillions in tax cuts and subsidies, while nannies, home care workers and housekeepers are denied basic labor protections against underpayment and harassment. Congress must pass a #DomesticWorkerBillofRights. — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight I asked my question in Trump's impeachment trial: President Trump claims there was no quid pro quo in holding back military aid to Ukraine. He has lied more than 16,000 times in office. Why should we believe him? — PolitiTweet.org

I proudly oppose Trump's NAFTA 2.0. The United States outsourced more than 170,000 jobs in the last three years. The deal doesn't even mention the words "climate change." Our trade agreements must stop outsourcing and address the climate crisis threatening our planet. — PolitiTweet.org
