Yesterday, the United States Senate unanimously passed our resolution supporting free and fair elections in Brazil. We are sending a clear, bipartisan message that we are on the side of the people of Brazil and on the side of democracy. https://t.co/NHOZLvhYVm — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let me again thank the environmental community for helping to defeat the Big Oil side deal yesterday. But this battle is not over. The fossil fuel industry will spend millions to get Congress to approve some of their dirtiest projects before the year is over. We must stay alert. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I’m LIVE on the floor of the Senate to pass a resolution supporting free and fair elections in Brazil. It’s important for the people of Brazil to know that the United States is on their side and on the side of democracy. https://t.co/wzWnpunjl9 — PolitiTweet.org

The obscene level of income and wealth inequality in America is a profoundly moral issue that we cannot continue to ignore or sweep under the rug. A society cannot sustain itself when so few have so much while so many have so little. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We already have redistribution of wealth in this country. It is going the wrong way in the form of trillions of dollars to the top 1%. Yes, I believe it is time to change that. https://t.co/qnO1u3kNRu — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I want to congratulate the groups and organizations who made clear that we do not need more fossil fuel projects that would substantially increase carbon emissions. The removal of the big oil side deal is a victory for the planet and a major loss for the fossil fuel industry. https://t.co/5pCFhPNfYl — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

You want to restore people’s faith in democracy? Have a government that works for them. https://t.co/AMtARQo7bG — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It may be a radical idea to some of my Senate colleagues & in the editorial rooms of newspapers owned by Rupert Murdoch & Jeff Bezos, but I do believe the future of the planet is more important than the short term profits of the fossil fuel industry. Defeat the Big Oil side deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A major challenge that our rural communities face today is the struggle to staff our volunteer fire departments and EMS crews. I am enormously proud of young people like Danielle who feel called to serve and who are stepping up to help keep their communities safe. https://t.co/pMXc2pJ6Eq — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Iranian people, led by young women, are demonstrating for their freedom and for a better life. The government has responded by killing dozens of protesters. I call upon the Iranian government to address the needs of their citizens, not kill them. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I sent a letter to my colleagues in the Senate today urging them to oppose this Big Oil side deal. The time has come for Congress to tell the fossil fuel industry that their short-term profits are not more important than the future of our planet. https://t.co/SBrKuvzB1U — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, 50% of our people live paycheck to paycheck and half of older Americans have no savings. Meanwhile, CEOs of large corporations make a record-breaking 350 times what their workers earn. That level of inequality is immoral and unsustainable. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I stand in solidarity with the thousands of Russians who went into the streets yesterday to oppose Putin’s barbaric war in Ukraine. In an authoritarian society, that is an act of great courage. They deserve our support. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

LIVE: This month, I introduced a resolution with my colleagues supporting free and fair elections in Brazil. Shockingly, not a single Republican is supporting it. I’m on the floor of the Senate to talk about why. https://t.co/kYktNkrPAd — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The fact that ZERO Republicans are supporting a resolution to back free elections in Brazil tells us about the state of democracy in this country and the Republican Party. I’ll be LIVE on the Senate floor tonight at 7:15 p.m. ET to talk about it. https://t.co/pNQeLsHffi — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We must put an end to corporate greed and support the growing union movement. https://t.co/h1rLaLmlDG — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let me congratulate the Starbucks workers in Boston who won their 64-day strike for fair schedules and decent working conditions. When workers stand together and fight for justice, there is nothing they cannot accomplish. I was proud to have stood on the picket line with them. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

During this terrible pandemic, when thousands of essential workers died doing their jobs, some 700 billionaires in America became nearly $2 trillion richer. But the working class is standing up and fighting back. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Big Oil side deal requires the president to prioritize 25 energy projects for expedited environmental reviews. Of those, 19 could be dirty fossil fuel or mining projects and ZERO are required to be renewable energy projects that would reduce emissions. That is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The Mountain Valley Pipeline would generate emissions equivalent to 37 coal plants or putting 27 million more cars on the road. It's hard for me to understand why anyone concerned about climate change would consider voting to approve such a dirty & dangerous fracked gas pipeline. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

No. Defeating the Big Oil side deal is not about revenge. It's about whether we will stand with 650 environmental and civil rights organizations who understand that the future of the planet is with renewable energy and energy efficiency not approving the Mountain Valley Pipeline. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The entire island of Puerto Rico lost power and 60% of households still don't have clean running water. The full resources of the U.S. government must be brought to bear to address the suffering of our fellow citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Yesterday, Republicans tried to ram through a bill that would have prevented rail workers from receiving sick leave and health care benefits. I was proud to block that effort on the floor of the Senate. If you missed it, tune in now. https://t.co/92tXdojsiv — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Let me congratulate the rail unions who stood up to corporate greed and forced the industry to make important concessions. I also want to thank President Biden and Secretary Walsh for their hard work. Now it’s up to the rank-and-file union members to evaluate this deal. https://t.co/UV2m7QDRkm — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Call me a radical, but I happen to believe that rail workers are entitled to paid sick leave. https://t.co/xShwcOoVLf — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I’m LIVE on the floor of the U.S. Senate to stand with rail workers as they fight for paid sick leave and improved working conditions from rail companies that made $20 billion in profits last year. https://t.co/CyeH2zUl0c — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today, Republicans at 4:20 p.m. ET will try to sneak legislation through the U.S. Senate to block 115,000 rail workers from fighting for paid sick days and safe working conditions. I will proudly stand up to stop it. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In the midst of a potential rail strike, Warren Buffett, the owner of BNSF Railway's parent company, worth $100 billion must intervene. During the pandemic, Mr. Buffett became $36 billion richer. He must ensure that rail workers receive decent wages and safe working conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

This poll confirms what we already know: Our current health care system is a disaster. At a time when we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a right, just 12% of Americans believe our health care system is working very well. Yes. We need Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org
