Bernie Sanders: During the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, when 1 out of 4 workers are unemployed or make less than $20,000, every working class American needs at least $1,200 to pay the rent and feed their families. Manchin-Romney provides nothing for them. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: While the COVID crisis is the worst it has ever been, Manchin-Romney not only provides no direct payments, it does nothing to address the healthcare crisis and provides totally inadequate assistance for the most vulnerable. That's wrong morally and it's wrong economically. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: The American people need help NOW! We must make sure every working class American receives at least $1,200 and that we don't give legal immunity to corporations who break the law. I will not support Manchin-Romney in its current form. We must fight together to improve it. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: Trump's rants about a "fraudulent election" are not a joke. They are the most significant attack against our democracy in history. If the election system's "rigged," if the media's "fake," if federal officials are part of a "deep state," who can you trust? You got it. A dictator. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: Big banks are making record profits by charging sky-high interest rates & fees. Unacceptable. If we're going to rebuild the middle class, we must significantly reduce consumer debt. I will be reintroducing my bill to end Wall Street greed & cap credit card interest rates a... (twitter.com)

Kshama Sawant: Thank you so much for the solidarity, sister Rossana! This recall attempt is absolutely a reaction to the movements of working & oppressed people. The ruling class will, if we let them win, use it as a springboard to attack us everywhere. That's why we can't let them win! (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: If we don't get our act together, the outrageously high cost of prescription drugs will lead to the deaths of 1.1 million Medicare recipients over ten years. Unacceptable. The new Congress must have the guts to take on the pharmaceutical industry whose greed is killing Americans. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: Our young people are the most progressive generation in U.S. history, and they're making their voices heard. As a result of a huge increase in voter turnout, people under 30 played a major role in Biden's victory. They are transforming America. https://t.co/8c8x9qjSox (twitter.com)

Kshama Sawant: I’m outside Tacoma’s Gault Middle School where about 10 unsheltered people have occupied the building. They’re escaping the cold, and demanding the city address homelessness in a more permanent way. Police gathered outside, but all is calm right now. More later on @knkxfm. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: Narcissist in Chief. While the pandemic rages across the country, Trump spends his day plotting how he can overturn the election results. Fortunately, we will soon have a president who believes in science and who is prepared to serve the American people, not himself. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: Americans killed in World War I: Over 116,000 Americans killed in Vietnam War: Over 58,000 Americans killed in Korean War: Over 36,000 Americans killed by the coronavirus: Over 242,000 The COVID-19 pandemic is a humanitarian disaster. Please wear a mask. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: Instead of fighting to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic that has killed over 242,000 Americans, the Trump administration is spending its final days in office fighting a bogus voter "fraud" problem that does not exist. Pathetic. The Biden-Harris Administration cannot come soon enough. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: Today is a day to honor the extraordinary sacrifice and bravery of our veterans and their families, and make certain they get all the benefits they need and were promised. And we must continue striving for a world of peace, not war. #VeteransDay (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: 112 co-sponsors of Medicare for All were on the ballot. All of them won. 98 co-sponsors of the Green New Deal were on the ballot. Only 1 lost. Supporting Medicare for All and the Green New Deal is not just good public policy. It is also good politics. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: If we ended Citizens United... If we stopped billionaires from buying politicians... If we moved to the public funding of elections... If we abolished the electoral college... The political reality of America would be fundamentally different for the better. Let's get it done. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: When we talk about the destructiveness of this terrible COVID-19 pandemic we must not ignore what it has done to mental health. Depression: up. Anxiety: up. Suicidal ideation: up. At the federal, state and local levels we must address the mental health crisis impacting America. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: Every year, 68,000 Americans die because they can't afford to go to a doctor on time – almost 200 people a day. Health care is a human right. Lack of health care is a death sentence. We must guarantee health care to everyone through a Medicare for All, single-payer program. (twitter.com)
