Deleted Tweets From Bernard "Bernie" Sanders, I-Vt.

Now is the time for Senate Democrats to put legislation on the floor that addresses the needs of working families. Now is the time to rally the American people around an agenda that works for all, not just the 1%.

I sent a letter today to the CEO of Kroger with a simple message: the company, which is doing very well, can afford provide grocery store workers – the true heroes and heroines of this pandemic – good wages, good benefits, safe working conditions and reliable work schedules. https://t.co/E5u9ckrgSO

Instead of providing the kind of wages and benefits that the workers need, Warrior Met has made a totally unsatisfactory offer. Mr. Fink must should tell the company's executives to sit down and negotiate a fair contract with the union now. https://t.co/X1eXEcYD8y QT @CNBC: Sens.

Jon Donaire Desserts epitomizes the corporate greed that is taking place in this country. I joined @SenAlexPadilla and 5 of our colleagues to stand with striking workers and ask why Bob Rich, who’s worth more than $7 billion, wants to cut back on the needs of struggling workers. https://t.co/KcjFDwpBm1

In my view, Starbucks — a company with record-breaking profits of over $8 BILLION this quarter alone — can absolutely afford to negotiate with its workers in good faith.

I am proud to stand in solidarity with the workers of @wirecutterunion. To my mind it is not right that Wirecutter workers are paid an average salary some $43,000 less than others in the newsroom. Management must negotiate in good faith to see that workers are compensated fairly.

The American people want to see Congress finally stand up for working families. That’s exactly what we must do.

Health care workers across this country put their lives on the line to get us through this pandemic. They deserve dignity on the job and to be paid a decent wage. I'm proud to stand in solidarity with @1199SEIU nursing home workers in New York on strike for a fair contract. https://t.co/EpSul6FfAj

For a very long time, Congress has catered to the needs of those who have the money and the power, and turned our backs on the working class. That changes today. I'm LIVE now on the Senate floor talking about our budget proposal. https://t.co/o6IcDiHkbV

I know I speak for all Vermonters in expressing the deep gratitude we feel for the extraordinary role that Sen. Leahy has played in representing Vermont in the U.S. Senate for the last 46 years.

Let me remind my conservative Democratic colleagues who are concerned about fiscal responsibility, the Build Back Better Act will be fully paid for by taxes on the wealthy. The bipartisan infrastructure bill you voted for will add $256 billion to the deficit. Let's be consistent.

In 2016, the chairman of Mylan received a $164 million compensation package after his company jacked-up the price of an EpiPen by 550% over a nine-year period. Let me repeat: it’s time to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry

At a time when some billionaires pay nothing – not a nickel – in a given year in taxes, yes, it is time for the rich pay their fair share.

4 million coronavirus cases. Over 140,000 deaths. As other countries’ infections decline, America's are surging. Trump's incompetence is literally killing Americans. https://t.co/oTXV8k0Vhn

Our goal must be to make high-quality masks available to every single person in this country at no cost. @ASlavitt and I believe we must enact commonsense legislation to protect Americans during this pandemic: Masks for All. https://t.co/mEG9hIJSrs

Tens of millions of unemployed Americans will lose their $600-a-week lifeline if Congress does not act. We have got to stand up and protect working-class families in this country.

Instead of addressing the surge in hunger due to this economic meltdown, the Senate is rushing to pass a $740 billion military budget. We need to fundamentally alter our national priorities. It's time to eradicate hunger in American. It's time to increase nutrition support.

In the middle of a horrific pandemic, billionaires are waging class war against the working people of this country. That is obscene. It’s time to stand up and fight back. QT @ABC: As 45 million Americans lost their jobs, U.S. billionaires made $584 billion. https://t.co/D16a8QUGkc)

President Trump and Senate Republicans would rather deny science than provide the American people with the economic relief and leadership they need, threatening the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Abosultely shameful. https://t.co/bZvFYpqnJ0

This a major victory for grassroots activists and a blow to Trump’s hideous effort to end legal protections for our undocumented youth.

No on in this country should be afraid to go to the doctor because of cost amidst this horrific pandemic. We must empower Medicare to pay all of the medical bills of the uninsured and the under-insured. https://t.co/qplCt7fVta

Did you receive a $1,200 stimulus check? If not, why? If we provided every working-class household with $2,000 per month during this pandemic, what would you do with it? What must Congress do now to protect you and your family? Please share your story. https://t.co/riUIwchZHB

Germany, Canada, France and the UK ensure that workers receive paychecks and benefits during this crisis. It is not radical to expect that we join the rest of the advanced world and end the absurdity of millions of Americans losing their jobs every week. https://t.co/d4GfyvXs2T

Pathetic. A payroll tax cut does nothing for the 26 million who lost their jobs. Rent is due on May 1st. We need to provide $2,000 a month to everyone until this crisis is over. If we can bail out corporations, we can make sure everyone has enough to pay for basic necessities.

Trump's Earth Day plans? Ignore science, exploit a pandemic to roll back environmental protections, and hand out favors to the fossil fuel industry. Let us celebrate the 50th Earth Day by standing together and tackling these crises head on. https://t.co/2Cb69elrCj

We are the only major country where millions of people are losing their jobs and health insurance during this pandemic. In my view, the solution is straightforward: ✔️Keep workers on payroll and provide 100% of their wages ✔️Treat health care as a right—not an employee benefit QT @NBCNews: BREAKING: Another 5,000,000 people in US filed jobless claims last week, bringing total to nearly 22,000,000 in one… https://t.co/Jn8LBnLc7N)

My Republican friends had no problem voting for a trillion dollars in tax breaks for billionaires and large corporations. But—horrors of horrors!—the working poor might get a few bucks more in unemployment in the midst of a terrible crisis. Oh my god, the universe is collapsing! https://t.co/BD0gR6rkAI

Senate Republicans' partisan coronavirus package is outrageous: ❌ Creates a corporate slush fund for bailouts ❌ Does nothing to protect patients from huge bills ❌ Denies millions of workers paid sick leave ❌ Keeps state and local governments underfunded We do must better.

Unbelievable. There are some Democrats who want to lower the eligibility age for direct payments from $75,000 to $50,000 for individuals, and $150,000 to $100,000 for couples. In other words, working class people who got checks from Trump would not get them from Biden. Brilliant!

We fought very hard to make vaccines for COVID-19 free for every man, woman & child in America. Now, we must make certain that no health insurance company, pharmacy or medical provider is able to charge the uninsured or under-insured any type of fee before they get the vaccine.
