According to a recent AP article, Sen. @MittRomney, reflecting the views I think of many “said that when other countries subsidize the manufacturing of high technology chips, the U.S. must join the club.” — PolitiTweet.org

LIVE: Some of my colleagues in the Senate want to give in to the extortion of the microchip industry and hand them a $76 billion blank check. I say instead let’s enact the agenda the American people want. https://t.co/7IZNibgb0p — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Today at 4:30pm ET, I'll be on the floor of the Senate to once again talk about legislation that hands a $76 billion blank check to the microchip industry. Yes. We need to rebuild the microchip industry, but not in in a way that just benefits profitable corporations. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Republicans talk about the cost of a Green New Deal. Really? If left unchecked, climate change, according to Deloitte, could cost the global economy $178 trillion over the next 50 years. Droughts, floods, extreme weather are expensive. Inaction is not a moral or economic option. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Unbelievable! Not only are Republicans anti-choice but almost all of them in the House just voted against Americans, women and men, having the right to contraception. While the whole world laughs, they want to take us back to the 1800s. Ain't gonna happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Pharma is spending millions to defeat a very modest drug pricing bill. Intel is spending millions to get a $20 billion handout. Joe Manchin, who is blocking climate action, is the major recipient of fossil fuel campaign contributions. This is how a corrupt political system works. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A worker today would need to make nearly 3 times the minimum wage in order to afford an average one-bedroom apartment. That makes no sense to me, nor do I think it makes sense to the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The function of a rational health care system is to provide quality care to all in a cost-effective way, not make billionaires like Jeff Bezos even richer.  At a time of growing concentration of ownership, the Justice Department must deny Amazon's acquisition of One Medical. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

A worker today earning the federal minimum wage makes $1,257 a month. The median rent for an apartment today is $1,362 a month. Addressing the needs of the American people is not radical. What’s radical is doing nothing while families struggle. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

The corporate lobbyists working on this bill are like pigs at the trough. https://t.co/WyStVBk6Y7 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Listen to the CEO of Intel tell you all you need to know about oligarchy, corporate arrogance, and the state of American politics. It sure sounds like extortion to me. https://t.co/hGV6Uy9xad — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

LIVE: I’m not a lawyer, but what the CEO of Intel is saying to Congress sure sounds like extortion to me. No, I do not believe we need to provide the microchip industry with a blank check of over $76 billion. https://t.co/Q1iyIuicvT — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I'll be LIVE on the floor of the U.S. Senate at 4pm ET to explain why throwing billions of dollars at the profitable microchip industry, which over the last 20 years shut down hundreds of plants in the U.S. and eliminated 150,000 jobs, with no strings attached makes no sense. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Record heatwaves worldwide. Hospitalizations, injuries, and deaths. Crops destroyed. Fires raging. Some say bold climate action is "expensive." Compared to what? — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Sen. Manchin is intentionally sabotaging the President’s agenda, what the American people want, and what the majority of us in the Democratic caucus want. He is not interested in representing the needs of the working class of this country. https://t.co/polF2ZLOFh — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Yesterday, I met with a few brave human rights activists from the Middle East. Here’s what they had to say. https://t.co/q8WQtp03px — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We must put an end to the unauthorized and unconstitutional involvement of U.S. Armed Forces in the catastrophic Saudi-led war in Yemen and Congress must take back its authority over war. https://t.co/FYzKkGKNZT — PolitiTweet.org

Let me congratulate the Starbucks workers in South Burlington for successfully voting to form the first unionized Starbucks in Vermont. In just 8 months, workers in over 160 Starbucks shops have voted to form a union for better wages, benefits & working conditions. Keep it up! — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s my message to the 16% of Americans who approve of the job Congress is doing. https://t.co/Eto6q7Pbv3 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

We must become less dependent on foreign nations for microchips, but we can and must accomplish that goal without simply throwing money at these companies while the taxpayer gets nothing in return. https://t.co/kDPmQzk9rK — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

LIVE: No, the microchip industry does not need a blank check of over $50 billion at a time when the companies are making billions of dollars in profits and paying their executives exorbitant compensation packages. https://t.co/kDPmQzk9rK — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I’ll be LIVE on the floor of the Senate at 1:30pm ET to discuss why, at a time of massive wealth and income inequality, now is not the time for Congress to hand a $53 billion blank check to the microchip industry. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

On #PrimeDay, let's not forget. Amazon blamed "inflation" on a 17% price hike in a Prime membership after its profits soared 450% since the pandemic to a record $38 billion while avoiding $5 billion in taxes, spending $4 million on union busting & denying workers paid sick leave. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, in America, just three Wall Street firms – BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street - manage $22 trillion in assets. These three firms are major shareholders in more than 96 percent of S&P 500 companies. Obscene. — PolitiTweet.org

Cherry Garcia. Phish Food. Chunky Monkey. Super Fudge Chunk. Ben & Jerry not only revolutionized the world of ice cream, but they also showed the world what a progressive and community-minded business could look like. https://t.co/3RDUCAPNzN — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Average hourly wages for American workers have remained nearly flat since 1960, while home prices have almost TRIPLED over the same time period. It's no wonder that nearly half of all Americans today spend at least 30% of their income on housing. Obscene. — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

Happy 4th of July! Let us recommit today to building a future that works for all of us, not just the few. https://t.co/RrnhJOpx46 — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

I am proud of the major increase in Federally Qualified Community Health Centers in Vermont and the number of Vermonters who use them. While the struggle continues to guarantee health care to all, we have made significant progress in improving access to primary health care. https://t.co/yVKQ7O8NdS — PolitiTweet.org

Bernie Sanders @SenSanders

President Biden is right: The big oil companies must stop profiteering and bring down gas prices. But we need more than a tweet. It's time for the President to demand that Congress pass a windfall profits tax on Big Oil and use the revenue to provide rebates to consumers NOW! — PolitiTweet.org
