The Public Record
Bernie Sanders is an American politician and activist who has served as the junior United States senator from Vermont since 2007. A member of the Independent party, Sanders is known for his progressive policies and advocacy for social justice, healthcare reform, and income equality. He previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1991 to 2007, where he was the first independent elected to the House in 40 years. Throughout his career, Sanders has been a vocal critic of economic inequality and corporate influence in politics.
At a time when 15 million Americans are being thrown off the healthcare they have and 20 million Americans have already seen their premiums double, on average, as a result of Trump’s so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ we need Medicare for All…
The time is now to end the greed of the big insurance and drug companies and pass Medicare for All.
And it would prevent over 100,000 Americans from dying unnecessarily each and every year because they cannot make it to a doctor in time.
This study confirms what we have known for years: Medicare for All saves lives and saves money.
You can't allow Democratic candidates to be outspent 50 to 1. But it is a corrupt campaign finance system, and Democrats can take charge of what takes place within their own primaries right now.
In the interest of humanity, stand by your words. Pause AI development. It is not too late to avoid disaster. Stop building machines that humans cannot control.
Let me be very clear: If you do not take appropriate action now, my colleagues and I in the U.S. Senate will.
Almost every day, there is a new story about how your companies are losing control of the AI technology you are developing, with potentially cataclysmic results.
Look, in the world that we live in, until we get rid of Citizens United and get rid of super PACs and move to public funding of elections, that is the reality.
What is particularly obscene is not only the outrageous amount of money coming into Democratic primaries from billionaire-funded super PACs, but the reality that these special interests have no particular desire to see Democrats win.
While there are ideological differences of opinion within the big tent of the party, I would hope that we can all agree that Republican special interests should not play a role in determining the outcome of Democratic primaries. The time…
What you are seeing is, it doesn't matter that you're a Democrat or Republican.
I urge you to take action and make clear that the Democratic Party will no longer maintain this corrupt system.
If the people of Minnesota can stand up -- and I’m confident that they can -- and tell these billionaires and their lies and their 30-second ads and their super PACs to go to hell, democracy is going to reign.
My message to Democratic leaders: Ban super PACs from Democratic primaries NOW.
It is insane that the Democrats would allow somebody to come in, an entity to come in, that will then, if they lose, go into the other party.
We need a candidate like Abdul who has the guts to stand up for working class families.
I think Abdul has run a brilliant campaign, and he's more than capable of making his own political judgments.
What you had is AIPAC spending 30 million dollars in the Democratic primary trying to defeat Abdul.
People, many people, experts, including myself, consider what's going on there as a genocide.
I think Abdul's victory was one of the most extraordinary victories in modern political history.
