Today LGBTQ people are more than 4.5% of our population but only hold 0.1% of elected offices. We must support the LGBTQ community in achieving the representation they deserve. Consider a run or nominate your friends at http://outtowin.org . #OutToWin
This is a lie. Puerto Rico has not received $91 billion in aid.
Leaders like @CarmenYulinCruz have fought for Puerto Ricans. President Trump abandoned them.
We will do everything we can to rebuild the island and help Puerto Ricans who are still suffering after Hurricane Maria.

.@BernieSanders's Prescription Drug Price Relief Act would lower the price of drugs by about 50% by pegging US drug prices to the media price in five countries: The United Kingdom, German, France, Japan, and yes, Canada.
Women on average make just 80 cents for every dollar a man is paid, and it’s even lower for women of color:
-61 cents for Black women
-57 cents for Native women
-53 cents for Latina women
Equal pay for equal work is an issue of basic justice. #EqualPayDay
.@Mrtonytig believes his father would be alive today if we had Medicare for All. Enough! No one should die because they can't afford health care. We need Medicare for All.
Medicare for All will end the atrocity of a profit-driven health care system in which thousands die because they can't afford care.
Donald Trump wants to protect insurance company profits over American lives. Mr. Trump, we will defeat you in 2020. We'll make health care a right.
We all want our children to grow up healthy, to have a good education, have decent jobs, drink clean water and breathe clean air, and to live in peace.
Our job: build on that common humanity and do everything that we can to oppose all of the forces that try to divide us up.
While hundreds of millions of people live in abysmal poverty, arms merchants grow increasingly rich as governments spend trillions on weapons of destruction. We must offer a vision of a world where international conflicts will be resolved peacefully, not by mass murder.
I don’t accept the hypocrisy of my Republican colleagues who want a “limited government” except when it comes to the right of a woman to control her own body.

When workers are earning decent wages it not only impacts them, but their communities. That’s why company’s like Amazon need to pay their workers $15/hr. -@BernieSanders #WeThePeople19 #RaiseTheWage

How do we have trillions of dollars to spend on endless wars, but we don’t have the money for education and health care? How do we have money for tax breaks for billionaires, but not to feed hungry children? Together we are going to change those priorities.
This is the front group for the insurance and drug industries. They are desperate to protect their profits, so they are going to lie to Americans. This is what we're up against. Here’s the truth: Medicare for All would save Americans money.
My last ask before the fundraising deadline at midnight: We have a chance to send an unmistakable message about the size and strength of our campaign to the political establishment of this country. Let's make it happen.
Not me. Us.
