well, I would agree with the Senator from South Carolina on one point: People are disgusted with politics. And maybe the reason they are disgusted with politics is, despite what the vast majority of the American people want, the U.S…
Bernie Sanders
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.
This maybe Biden's Vietnam. I worry very much that President Biden is putting himself in a position where he has alienated not just young people, but a lot of the Democratic base in terms of his views on Israel and this war.
In America today, we have the highest maternal mortality rate and the highest infant mortality rate of any other wealthy country on Earth.
Second, the alarming rate of maternal deaths in America that is disproportionately impacting Black, Latino, and Native American women.
Today, our Committee is going to focus on two extremely important health care issues that must be addressed.
First are the major need for more Black, Latino, and Native American doctors and medical professionals.
This would be transformational. It is a bill that is going to force corporate health care to accept transparency and competition.
It is unacceptable that life expectancy on average, which is low in America in general, is about 5 years lower for Black Americans and 11 years lower for Native Americans than it is for White Americans.
I ardently advocate for the re-introduction of legislation which would specifically fund and protect the growth of HBCU medical schools.
some of us have been out of school for a while, and we may have forgotten our American history. But I did want to take a moment to remind some of my colleagues about a document called the U.S. Constitution and, specifically, the First…
Thus, we call on you to increase funding for HBCUs to reduce the cost of producing high quality physicians of color.
We need to pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act, introduced by Senator Booker and Senator Butler.
They have been consistently misleading the public about the realities and implications of their products.
The result of that is that countries all over the world were very slow moving in attempting to deal with climate change.
If you were Attorney General of the United States, would you proceed in that direction?
I think it's time to ask the people who caused that problem or lied about that situation to pick up the bill.
If we have an industry that knowingly, and that's the point, knowingly understood that carbon emissions were causing climate change, knowingly understood that climate change will bring devastating destruction to the lives of billions of…
Netanyahu and his extremist government are clearly in violation of U.S. and international law, and because of that should no longer receive U.S. military aid.
the Senate will soon vote on a $95 billion supplemental spending package, and $95 billion--that is a lot of money, especially at a time when many Americans are unable to afford their rent or pay their mortgages, pay their bills, afford…
here is the good news: A few weeks ago, the approval rating for Congress was 10 percent. It has gone up to 14 percent. According to a recent YouGov poll, 14 percent approve of what Congress is doing and 68 percent oppose. And I would tell…
That is being investigated, and it should be. But you don't allow thousands of children to starve because of the alleged violations and actions of 12 people. The bottom line: We are debating one of the most serious issues we have faced in…
I rise finding myself in the unusual position of supporting Senator Lee's effort of opening this bill up to amendment votes. I don't often agree with Senator Lee. I know that it is a radical idea. But, maybe, in the greatest deliberative…
if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I move that it stand adjourned under the previous order. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the motion. The motion was agreed to. Thereupon, the Senate, at 7:26…
