Some Tweets from Bernie Sanders

    When I met John, a veteran, a few months ago, he had $139,000 in medical debt. Thankfully today he is doing much better. We must eliminate all medical debt—and when our veterans come home, they must receive the best quality health care this country can provide them.

    I wrote about the power of Bernie Sander’s improbable run to be president for the NYT.
    "Under normal circumstances, the multiracial working class is invisible," writes . "But the campaign has become a powerful platform to amplify the experiences of this multiracial contingent."

    I first met John a few months ago, in what was not a good circumstance for him. I’m glad he is doing much better today. We are going to take care of the people who have served this country.

    I don’t want us to just go back to where we were before Trump. I want us to ask some hard questions that we as a nation rarely do: How is health care not a right in the richest country in the world? Why do one in six of our children go hungry? Why are 500,000+ people homeless?

    Donald Trump thinks he can win re-election by dividing us up. He is dead wrong. We are the strongest campaign to beat Trump because we are bringing people together with a multiracial, working-class movement.

    Why do you think the rich and powerful make such enormous political contributions? They may be greedy — but they are not stupid. We do not have and we do not want the funding of the billionaire class.

    The outrageous abuse taking place at Glenwood and Woodward Resource Centers under Gov. Reynolds’ administration must end now. We must end the institutional bias that forces people with disabilities out of their communities, and instead guarantee home and community-based services.
    BREAKING: The U.S. Dept. of Justice has opened an investigation into two Iowa institutions that provide health care to people with disabilities, to determine if patients' rights have been violated.

    Like Uncle says, despair is not an option. You have to believe something is possible before you can achieve it. Hopelessness and despair will get us nowhere. We know that we can avert the climate crisis and shape a better future. We won't give up either.
    At this moment in our history despair is not an option. I've got four kids and seven grandchildren. I can't give up. You can't give up.

    The American people have been ripped off by pharmaceutical companies for too long. Some politicians are willing to allow that. I'm not going to take it anymore. We're going to end pharma's greed and cap out-of-pocket prescription drug costs at $200 a year.
