Bernie Sanders

U.S. Senator for Vermont. Not me, us.

Mark Zuckerberg Wealth

Obscene. We must raise the minimum wage to a living wage.

Americans are tired of establishment politics, establishment economics and a corrupt campaign finance system.

They understand it is absurd for one man to own more wealth than the bottom half of society.

They understand healthcare is a human right.

Americans want real change.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

They have the money. We have the people. Watch a great ad from Abdul’s campaign In Michigan.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Are we really living in a “democracy” when billionaire-funded super PACs can spend tens of millions trying to defeat great progressive Senate candidates like Abdul El-Sayed (MI) and Peggy Flanagan (MN)?

We need to end Citizens United and move to public funding of elections NOW!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Trump-backed billionaire David Ellison recently purchased CBS. Now he wants to take over CNN and the rest of Warner Bros.

A coalition of state attorneys general sued to stop it.

Now the deal is on hold. Good.

We must stop corporate media consolidation.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

No, Mr. Trump, Canada is not “poisoning our air.”

Climate change is fueling more wildfires, heat waves, floods and other extreme weather.

Stop blaming our allies and start standing up to your friends in Big Oil, who are driving the climate crisis.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump on Canada:

“I told them. I mean, you got to stop these fires from coming in and you know poisoning our air. Our air has been poisoned.

Maybe they should pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs”

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The number of Amazon workers relying on food stamps and Medicaid nearly TRIPLED between 2020 and 2025.

Jeff Bezos is worth $257 billion and has a $500 million yacht.

He can afford to pay his workers a living wage.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Democratic establishment politics in action.

Outside groups, led by AIPAC, have spent $52.3 million in Michigan’s Senate primary to support Haley Stevens, compared to $853,000 in outside spending for Abdul El-Sayed — a 60-1 margin.

And the establishment is still going to lose.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

12 billionaires are spending over $120 million against California's 5% billionaire wealth tax.

These guys are worth $420 billion, got $182 billion richer since Trump's election & own at least 25 mansions in CA worth $550 million.

We must end billionaire greed.

Since 2020, Walmart spent $37.6 billion in stock buybacks—enough to give all their workers a $23,550 bonus.

Instead, Walmart pays wages so low that many of their workers need Medicaid & SNAP paid for by taxpayers.

The real welfare queen is the Walton family worth $485 billion.

It is long past time for the United States to join the rest of the world and guarantee paid annual leave and vacation days.

Some of the richest people in the country have now funneled more than $1.6 billion into the 2026 elections.

Democracy is one person, one vote — not billionaires buying elections.

We must end Citizens United and super PACs and move to public funding of elections.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

A new AI model went rogue and hacked other computers.

No, this is not science fiction. Uncontrolled AI poses a serious threat to all of us.

We cannot continue the race to build and deploy this powerful technology until strong safeguards are in place.

CONGRESS MUST ACT.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

A. Phillip Randolph is right:

“The essence of trade unionism is social uplift. The labor movement has been the haven for the dispossessed, the despised, the neglected, the downtrodden, the poor.”

Let's grow the trade union movement.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Trump is withholding $1 billion in Medicaid funds from California and Minnesota.

The same man who made $2 billion off the presidency and passed $1 trillion in tax cuts for the 1% is now taking away health care from thousands of poor children.

You can’t make this up.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

AIPAC and other billionaire-funded super PACs have already spent nearly $50 million to defeat Dr. Abdul El-Sayed in the Michigan U.S. Senate primary.

We cannot allow oligarchs to buy our elections. One person, one vote.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Here’s how Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" works:

The richest 1% get $1 trillion in tax breaks.

Working families get $1.1 trillion in cuts to SNAP, Medicaid and other healthcare programs.

Tens of thousands will go hungry so the wealthy can get another tax break. Shameful.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Thank you to a packed house in Minneapolis who came out to support @peggyflanagan.

Together, we are going to take on crypto, the AI industry, AIPAC and other billionaire super PACs and send Peggy to the United States Senate.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The billionaires may have unlimited amounts of money, but we have something far more powerful. We have the people.

Minnesotans are going to show the country what organized people can do and elect Peggy Flanagan to the U.S. Senate. https://t.co/e7jbJhrcm5
