Sen. Peter Welch, ...
July 19, 2019

Sen. Bernie Sanders
July 19, 2019
Tweet - "Abolish the Electoral College."
Sen. Bernie Sanders
July 19, 2019
Tweet - "Amazon didn't pay anything in federal income taxes last year. Not a nickel! Meanwhile Jeff Bezos is worth over $160 billion and is spending his money on going to outer space while millions of our people struggle. That is what a rigged economy looks like."
Sen. Bernie Sanders
July 19, 2019
Tweet - "This is how our corrupt political system works: Dow Chemical gives $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee. In return Trump allows Dow Chemical to make huge profits off a dangerous chemical. We must put people over profits and end our corrupt campaign finance system."
Sen. Bernie Sanders
July 18, 2019
Tweet - "There's nothing "extreme" about raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. What's extreme is paying workers starvation wages while CEO pay and corporate profits skyrocket. @senatemajldr stop blocking a raise for millions of Americans!"
Sen. Bernie Sanders
July 18, 2019
Sanders Statement on House Passage of $15 Minimum Wage

Sen. Peter Welch
July 18, 2019

Sen. Bernie Sanders
July 18, 2019

Sen. Bernie Sanders
July 17, 2019

Sen. Bernie Sanders
July 16, 2019
Tweet - "No worker should be told they're lucky to get less than minimum wage. People with disabilities deserve jobs that pay a living wage. It's time to end the subminimum wage and guarantee truly integrated employment opportunities for people with disabilities."

Sen. Bernie Sanders
July 13, 2019

Sen. Bernie Sanders
July 12, 2019
