Sen. Bernie Sanders
Sept. 28, 2022

Sen. Bernie Sanders, ...
Aug. 11, 2022

Sen. Bernie Sanders
June 16, 2022

Sen. Bernie Sanders
April 15, 2022
Tweet - "At a time when a handful of huge Wall Street firms control the economic life of the country, they are now moving to control the political life as well. We must overturn Citizens United, that disastrous Supreme Court decision, and move to public funding of elections."

Tweet - "Tomorrow, the Senate is going to be casting an enormously important vote about whether we preserve the foundations of democracy. As of now, two Democrats will join the Republicans to vote against us and we will lose that vote. Let me tell you why I hope they change their minds."
Sen. Bernie Sanders
Jan. 17, 2022
Tweet - "As the voting rights bill finally comes to the floor of the Senate, there is only one vote which will really matter. Will 50 Democrats vote to override the filibuster, protect American democracy and pass the bill, or will Manchin and Sinema vote with the GOP and let the bill die?"
Sen. Bernie Sanders
Jan. 15, 2022
Tweet - "This is what the undermining of American democracy looks like. This is what is taking place all across the country. This is why it is an outrage that two Democratic senators have joined Republicans in refusing to pass the Freedom to Vote bill."

Dec. 10, 2021
Tweet - "While the majority of the American people have expressed overwhelming support for the Build Back Better Act and delivering for working Americans, Republicans continue to oppose it. Maybe, just maybe, that's why they have to resort to voter suppression."
