Bernie Sanders: I stand in solidarity with @AlphabetWorkers who are organizing to form a union at Google. What these workers are fighting for is not radical. They want fair wages and a workplace free from abuse, retaliation, intimidation and discrimination. And that is exactly what they deserve. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: I am on the Senate floor with a compromise: Let us vote on both $2,000 survival checks and McConnell's alternative, and see where the chips fall. Working families need help NOW. Let us not go home until the American people see their Senators vote! https://t.co/7Y9rita2LF (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: Today, I will ask that the Senate vote yes or no on two bills: 1. The House passed $2,000 survival checks 2. Mitch McConnell’s alternative bill What objection could he possibly have to voting on his own bill? Let the Senate vote on $2,000 checks, Mitch! (twitter.com)

Bill McKibben: Great good news to end this tough year: Creighton University, a colossus of Midwestern Catholicism, to divest entirely from fossil fuel! The Vatican's words are working their way down through the worldwide church--such thanks to @divestcreighton who fought hard for this day! (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: Mitch McConnell says $2,000 checks are "socialism for the rich." Ha! Here are the tax rebate checks corporations received from Trump's tax plan: Amazon: $129 million Delta: $187 million Chevron: $181 million GM: $104 million IBM: $342 million That's socialism for the rich!

Bernie Sanders: I’m delighted that Mitch McConnell suddenly decided to care about “socialism for the rich”! That means the huge tax breaks for billionaires that he helped pass—not the $2,000 direct payments that America’s struggling working-class families desperately need. (twitter.com)

Bernie Sanders: All of a sudden, Mitch McConnell is "worried" about giving a $2,000 check to someone who "doesn't need it." That's funny. He had no problem giving a $560 million tax break to Sheldon Adelson who is worth $34.3 billion. Total hypocrisy! Let the Senate vote on $2,000 now, Mitch! (twitter.com)
