Bernie Sanders

I condemn it wholeheartedly. It was a terrible act.

Now I know in a world here in Washington, where the government is now run by billionaires, $2,400 doesn't seem like a whole lot of money.

Instead of cutting Social Security and giving tax breaks to billionaires, Congress must expand Social Security so that every senior in America can retire with the dignity and the respect that he or she deserves.

Mr. Chairman, I respectfully request that this committee bring Elon Musk before this committee so that we can really hear what’s going on with the government.

If you want to discuss policies in the Department of Labor, let’s bring in the real secretary.

These oligarchs are not only happy to have huge amounts of money. They want more.

That is a very troubling response because the studies are there.

Does anyone here really think that any Secretary of Labor, any Secretary of Education, is going to make decisions by himself or herself?

The most important point of this hearing is, let me be very clear: Today, we are not voting on who the next Secretary of Labor is.

We need to elect a U.S. House and a U.S. Senate that will prioritize the needs of the working people in this country.

NO to oligarchy, NO to authoritarianism, NO to kleptocracy, NO to massive cuts in programs that working people desperately need, NO to huge tax breaks for the richest people in our country.

Today, the oligarchs and the billionaire class are getting richer and richer and have more and more power.

Let us be clear: When we take on Trumpism, we are taking oligarchy and we are taking on the tale of two Americas.

I’ll tell you about the most serious addiction problem we have in this country: That is the uncontrollable greed of this billionaire class.

That is their intention.

That is the uncontrollable greed of this billionaire class.

The most serious addiction problem we have in this country: That is the uncontrollable greed of this billionaire class.

Now, if you can get involved in a Supreme Court race in the state of Wisconsin, where can you not get involved?

Got that: When you’ve got political power, you can double your wealth in a few weeks’ time.

Fight back. No cuts to Medicaid. No tax breaks for billionaires.

If you take Trump's word on that, you probably believe that Ukraine started the war, not Russia.

It is grotesque. It is almost unspeakable.

No to oligarchy! No to authoritarianism! No to kleptocracy! No to massive cuts to programs that low-income and working Americans desperately need! No to tax breaks for the wealthiest people in America!

So let us be clear: When we take on Trumpism, we are taking oligarchy and we are taking on the tale of two Americas.

Musk, in a Supreme Court race, in a small race in one state, is getting involved.
