I think that the act introduced by Senator Warren would be a very good first step.
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.
I found that very offensive, I found that to be morally wrong, and I think Congress needs to deal with that aspect of it.
The Senator knows I am not for looking the other way. That is not a fair statement. As I have said many, many times, I am strongly supportive of major, major, major consequences if Putin invades Ukraine, and we have got to do everything we…
No, we would not. But my point is, the Monroe Doctrine remains in existence today. It is not just history. You and I can agree that maybe the United States should not have overthrown governments over the years. The Monroe Doctrine exists…
If you love America it seems to me you love the children who are the future of America.
In my view, we are moving toward an oligarchic form of society where the people on top have incredible wealth and power while most Americans are struggling to pay their bills.
Four hundred billionaires own the same amount of wealth as 150 million of the poorest Americans.
So we are really in an unusual place in the modern history of this country, and one of the issues that has concerned me, and I think it does not get enough attention, is the growing gap between the very, very wealthy and everybody else.
All right. Okay. Apologies for being late, and let me thank those of you who are here for being here.
It is a very, very important task, and I know that both of you are more than capable of leading OMB.
Senator Bernie Sanders said he`s open to supporting a primary challenge to Senator Sinema.
What has bothered me very much is the Republicans are laughing all the way to election day. They have not had the cast one bloody vote, or two which shows us where they`re at.
If there were strong candidates in those states who were prepared to stand up for working families, who understand that the Democratic Party has got to be the party of working people taking on big money interests, if those candidates were…
I do not understand why two Democrats who presumably understand the importance of the freedom to vote act, and as I understand it will vote for the Freedom to Vote Act are not prepared to change the rules so that that bill could actually…
We should not be punishing people for getting higher education. It is time to hit the reset button.
Senator Sanders introduced legislation today that would make available very -- at subsidized costs free N95s or heavily subsidized for every American household.
It is absolutely imperative that every member of the Democratic caucus, all 50 of us, plus the Vice President, vote to pass the Freedom to Vote Act to overturn this outrageous anti-democratic action that is taking place in numerous states…
We have introduced legislation with 15 co-sponsors, which would make sure that N95 masks are distributed to every household in America free of charge.
Do we have the guts to take on the drug companies who are spending over $300 million in lobbying right now?
We cannot keep just talking and talking. We’ve got to do something, bring that bill to the floor.
Nothing is done until it’s done. And I think our job right now is to lay out to the people of west Virginia, what is at stake here, the people of America what is at stake here.
Well, I think he’s going to have a lot of explaining to do to the people of West Virginia to tell them why he doesn’t have the guts to take on the drug companies to lower the cost of prescription drugs, why he is not prepared to expand…
You got two people saying, hey, if you don’t do it my way, I don’t care what the President wants. I don’t care what 48 of my colleagues want. It’s my way or the highway, and that I regard is arrogance.
