.@BernieSanders will fight to help working Americans who have been left out of Trump’s economy. He has been fighting for working families his whole life. It’s that simple. That’s why he should be the next President of the United States. @ninaturner @jjz1600 — PolitiTweet.org

The concentration of our markets hurts competition, drives down wages, and raises consumer prices. I started the Antitrust Caucus because America has an oligopoly problem. https://t.co/Xt0FsiKyTs — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has rolled back 53 environmental regulations and now he’s using the EPA as a political weapon against SF. If he's truly concerned about the homeless crisis, how about investing in Section 8 vouchers, holistic treatment programs & affordable housing. https://t.co/HAyiaZ2Sop — PolitiTweet.org

The Sacklers knowingly lied about Oxycontin's addiction potential, profited while fueling the opioid crisis, then transferred over $1B to their personal Swiss bank accounts. This is the type of greed that has enraged so many Americans who are left behind. https://t.co/8hMNnawQcb — PolitiTweet.org

Thousands of students signed up for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program because they were promised that if they worked for ten years in public service, their loans would be cancelled.

With the Trump administration once again banging the drums for war with Iran, we need restraint and diplomacy, not more escalation. The United States must re-enter the JCPOA, work to end the war in Yemen, and end the Trump imposed embargo on Iran. https://t.co/plcsPylFcx — PolitiTweet.org

Voters in Iowa, NH, Nevada & SC should winnow our field, not the DNC! In December of 1975, Carter didn’t register in national polls & the first debate wasn’t until Feb 23, 1976. Let’s have voters decide on our contenders, not DNC operatives or the media. https://t.co/d6Rn2shLtM — PolitiTweet.org
