Some Tweets from Bernie Sanders

    So nice to join and more than 10,000 of our closest friends in Denver tonight.
  • This is not a time for a middle ground approach. This is a time to take on powerful special interests that control our political and economic life, and finally build a country that works for working people. Join our rally live in Denver:
  • Duct-taping a gaping wound. Skipping doctor's visits for 8 years. Refusing an ambulance due to the cost. This is what a barbaric health care system looks like. We need Medicare for All now.
  • Trump and his administration are trying to move this country in an authoritarian direction.

    ., thank you for joining the Million Upstander Movement and signing our pledge! As a national leader, your voice and actions have a ripple effect in communities around the country. We can stand against together!
  • Imagine what your life would be like if your health care was guaranteed, your wages were fair, and an emergency wouldn't mean bankruptcy. What if you weren't up at night worrying about taking care of your family? All Americans deserve to feel that security, not just the rich.
  • I have never been able to accept that the United States, the richest country on Earth, does not guarantee health care to all its people. I will not stop fighting until we guarantee health care – with no co-pays or deductibles – for all.
  • Tonight: join our rally in Denver at Civic Center Park to show Wall Street, special interests, and the billionaire class that we're ready to take them on and build an economy for all of us.
  • Greedy insurance companies are working overtime to convince Americans that quality health care for all is an impossible idea. It's not. When you go to a hospital in Canada, the only fee you pay is to park your car.
  • Children should not go to school fearing for their lives. We are going to end the NRA's reign over Washington and pass the common sense gun safety legislation the American people desperately want.
  • Young people today make up the most progressive generation in history. Together we’ll sweep Trump out of office and take that movement to the White House. Join us in organizing on campuses all over this country at
  • The current health care system is dysfunctional and destructive. No one should go bankrupt or suffer a financial crisis because they get sick.
  • Trump's economy means massive amounts of wealth goes to the top 1% and huge corporations, while working people need 2 or 3 jobs to get by. I don't believe that's what America is about. We'll create an economy that works for all people and make the wealthy pay their fair share.
  • Unlike Trump, I haven't been bought off by pharmaceutical companies. I'm going to take them on and cut prescription drug prices in half.
  • Today: tailgate with Bernie at the University of Northern Iowa! Join us in the West Gymnasium, next to Campanile West Lawn. Doors open at 10:30 a.m. and the event starts at 12:00 p.m.
  • Donald Trump is going to be a one-term president.
  • I stand with members in Valpo, who are fighting for their jobs after threatened to close their plant. This kind of corporate greed is simply unacceptable.

  • We are going to make the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share.

  • In November 2020, Donald Trump will be strongly reminded that the U.S. is a democracy, not an authoritarian society.
  • We spend $80 billion a year locking up 2.2 million people. Imagine what we could accomplish if we invested that in education instead of jails and incarceration. As president I will aim to cut incarceration in this country in half.
  • No one in America should die because they can't afford their medication. I can't believe we have to say that.
