58 new abortion restrictions were enacted across the country in 2019. Laws like these are dangerous, regressive, and blatantly unconstitutional. On the 47th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must continue to stand up for women’s reproductive freedom and protect access to abortion. — PolitiTweet.org

The free press is never more important than when it exposes wrongdoing by the powerful. That is why President Bolsonaro is threatening Glenn Greenwald for the "crime" of doing journalism. I call on Brazil to end its authoritarian attack on press freedom and the rule of law. — PolitiTweet.org

Doctors understand they cannot do their jobs healing the sick under our dysfunctional health care system. I thank physicians' group @ACPinternists and its 159,000 members, as well as @PNHP, for fighting to make health care a human right for every man, woman and child. https://t.co/u7LUgCvGK5 — PolitiTweet.org

Today is a sad day in history: the beginning of an impeachment trial for the President. It would be absurd to have a trial at 1 o'clock in the morning without any witnesses. I say to Senator McConnell: hold a fair trial with witnesses, in full view of the American people. https://t.co/nwbYh0IkIE — PolitiTweet.org

What Dr. King understood is that the only way you make real change—whether it is racial justice, social justice or economic justice—is when millions of people come together, stand up and fight back. #MLKDay — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

In 1968, Dr. King said “Now our struggle is for genuine equality, which means economic equality.” The minimum wage then was worth $10.15. Today, it’s $7.25. Our fight for human dignity must include making every job pay a living wage of at least $15 an hour. #MLKDay — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

To truly honor Dr. King we must fight to carry out his radical and bold vision for racial and economic justice in America and transform our national priorities. The struggle continues to this day, and our work is far from over. #MLKDay https://t.co/2HvceuTIbV — PolitiTweet.org

"When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Riverside Church, 1967 https://t.co/izRzi65ln8 — PolitiTweet.org

Our job: Demilitarize police departments so they do not look like oppressing armies. https://t.co/2x1kXnr7PI — PolitiTweet.org

-In the 1980s, 40% of Taiwan's population lacked health insurance -Despite some skepticism, Taiwan implemented a single-payer health care system -2020: Everyone is covered. They pay about $12 for comprehensive care. We can and must achieve Medicare for All in the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

How can it be that millions of people live in poverty while working full time in the world’s richest country for the world’s richest companies? How can we tolerate this? The answer is clear: pay every worker at least $15 an hour and let them unionize. — PolitiTweet.org

Marijuana must be legalized. All our people imprisoned because of it must be returned home to their families and their records expunged. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I’m proud of my state, Vermont, for leading the nation in considering making free school meals universal for children. In the richest country in the history of the world, “lunch debt” for hungry kids trying to learn at school should not exist. https://t.co/pGQ8EFKH1I — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Unreliable electricity and water, untreated wounds, vermin. These prison conditions are intolerable. We lock up more people—disproportionately Black and brown—than any other country on Earth. We need comprehensive prison reform as a matter of racial and social justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Don't you feel grateful? The world’s most expensive drug is coming out—$2-3 million a pop. $69 billion in annual profits were just not enough for Big Pharma. BioMarin should lose its patent monopoly for this price-gouging. Under our legislation, it will. https://t.co/bXvykhDW17 — PolitiTweet.org

250 pages. 37,500 words. Not a single damn mention of “climate change.” Trump’s NAFTA is a giveaway to the fossil fuel industry. I voted NO because the future of our planet is more important than the short-term profits of Exxon Mobil and Chevron. https://t.co/YgSZcigjjX — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Why will our agenda—living wages, a healthy planet, peace, health care, education and housing for all—succeed? Because that is the agenda of the working class. The majority. And when working people come together and fight for it, big-money interests don’t stand a chance. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

My friend Senator Schumer is right. Trump's NAFTA does not even mention the words "climate change"—the existential threat facing not only our country but the entire planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Student debt cancellation will be fully paid for by a tax on Wall Street speculation—similar to what exists in dozens of other countries. The American people bailed out Wall Street, now it's Wall Street's turn to help America's working families. https://t.co/gd3TPjxH1a — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time we make the richest 1% pay their damn taxes and make safe, affordable housing a human right. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I stand proudly with labor unions, environmental organizations and family farmers against Trump’s NAFTA 2.0. In my view, we must rewrite our disastrous trade agreements to end the outsourcing of American jobs, combat climate change, and stop the destructive race to the bottom. https://t.co/A9HulGS7fG — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Congratulations to advocates in Richmond who won this ballot measure to restrict coal exports. I stand with the communities who are fighting fossil fuel CEOs every step of the way. Our job: Break our addiction to fossil fuels and create millions of family-sustaining clean jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Trump’s deal with China won't fix a failed trade policy that has destroyed 3.7 million U.S. jobs. I am proud to have voted against the disastrous 2000 China trade agreement. We need a trade policy that stops giant corporations from shipping jobs overseas and polluting our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

It is outrageous that the President’s personal lawyers appear to have directed the surveillance of a U.S. ambassador. This must be fully investigated as the Senate conducts the impeachment trial. We have a responsibility to hold this lawless administration to account. — PolitiTweet.org
