I am tired of extreme wealth inequality, extreme corporate greed and monopolization, extreme risk to the planet from climate change.
Status quo politics will not deliver the change we need.
It was the honor of a lifetime to work for Bernie Sanders, someone whose empathy, compassion, and determination to address human suffering is inspiring and unparalleled. He awakened a nation to the fact that we all must be demanding much more to have the just world we deserve.
“I will continue to strive to come from a place of love and not react in the same way of those who are against what we are building in this country. This is about building a just and equitable future for my two boys, children across the country, and future generations." (4/4)
Me: Where's Bernie? We need to get going.
(Go to his room. Find him locked in conversation with service worker)
Bernie:...now when you lost your home in the flood, how did you put your life back together?
If Dems go on to nominate Sanders, the Russians will have to reconsider who to work for to best screw up the US. Sanders is just as polarizing as Trump AND he’ll ruin our economy and doesn’t care about our military. If I’m Russian, I go with Sanders this time around.
Appreciate the concerns here. We've spoken with the Nevada party, which has assured us that this individual does not have decision-making authority over the caucus count. Pls know we are working hard with the party to get every assurance that mistakes of Iowa are not repeated.
Dear Bernie supporters, you’ve made all the difference so far with your volunteer actions and financial contributions.
We're going to be making some big budget decisions this week. Any contribution now would mean a lot. Thanks for considering
Sen. Joe Manchin did a series of Sunday show interviews this morning.
In all of them, he expressed his desire to cut the $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill.
In zero of them did he give any specifics about what he wants to cut.
The pundit class keeps telling us we have a ceiling on our support. That's wrong.
"Among Democrats, Sanders was admired by 65% of voters, 10 points more than his closest competitors"
While announcing that over a third of polling locations in Maricopa County, AZ will be closed, the Election Day Director says "I'm sorry, I can't do this." and walks off the podium.
I don’t know why I’m bothering with a response. Alas.
To have an advanced society that lifts the working class, you need universal benefits paid for through progressive taxation.
Why does Pete dislike Social Security, Medicare, public parks, libraries, fire stations, etc?
New Pete ad in Iowa taking aim at Warren and Bernie over college affordability/debt (but not by name), arguing they’d alienate half the country by insisting it be “free even for the kids of millionaires”. H/t
@McCormickJohn
Lol --
@BernieSanders
suggests that the Senate put up a unanimous consent resolution to congratulate The Billionaire Class on creating the kind of the society they’ve long wanted.
I understand why some had concerns about
@BernieSanders
going on Fox. But if you watched that home run performance for the last hour, you also realized this is the ticket to beating Trump.
We won again! 3 for 3. And our vote margin continues to grow, while we expand our diverse coalition.
Awesome job by our Nevada team.
Now let's go win South Carolina!
Would appreciate a donation so can compete strongly in the Super Tuesday states.
Chairman Bernie Sanders calls a budget committee hearing about income inquality. Asks Costco to testify. Costco agrees and announces it is raising its minimum wage to $16/hr.
DNC changing the rules to benefit a billionaire. I much prefer Democrats being a grassroots party. And under Bernie Sanders, that's the way it will be.
MOMENTS AGO: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (
@AOC
) formally seconds nomination of Sen. Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nom, praising his "movement striving to recognize and repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny, and homophobia."
#DNC2020
As I look at the downballot results for Democrats across the country, I reflect on the reasons why I worked for
@BernieSanders
.
I much prefer a politics that excites me about being for something, not merely being defined as against something.
We should try that more often.
To those already in our movement: Stay focused, don't get distracted, we're so close, we've got a job to do to fight for the working class and win.
To those not already in our movement: Come on in, the water's warm, we welcome you.
Want to know what's at stake this election? If we lose the Senate, socialist Bernie Sanders will become Budget Committee Chairman. If we hold the Senate, and I am re-elected, I will be Budget Committee Chairman.
We were driving around Michigan yesterday and
@BernieSanders
saw a community health center (
@CherryHealthMI
) and wanted to pop in.
Doctor: “Bernie, what are you doing here?!”
“Just wanted to thank you for the work you’re doing and hear from you"
Instead, we’re all watching a few last-minute pathetic desperation heaves against Bernie tonight.
It's ok. They've always counted us out, but now they're nervous they can't stop us.
Bernie "by the numbers" today in Iowa
4: events in 4 cities in 1 day
850: total attendees at events
3: interviews with media
226: miles traveled around the state
10: baseballs hit during batting practice
Bonus number
14,000: doors knocked by our organizers on a snowy Sunday
Two polls today showing Bernie performing best against Trump in PA and WI.
I'm sure that will elicit a collective shrug from the establishment. I'm curious, however, what rationale they offer for why Bernie's outperforming their preferred choices.
The Dems are working hard to take the prized nomination away from Bernie. Back room politics, which Bernie is not very good at. His people will not let it happen again!
"Trump grew up as a very rich kid. I think he was a spoiled brat. And he thinks he can do anything he wants to do. Other people work hard, they tell the truth, they pay their taxes. That's not

@colbertlateshow
We're pleased to see Bernie Sanders' policies, vision and language drove a lot of the debate tonight.
Tomorrow, you get the opportunity to hear from Bernie directly about what it will take to get it done.
#DemDebate
Hey pundit friends,
Bernie is a very good person with integrity and strong values of empathy and compassion. He'll fight for the change our country needs.
Everything will be fine.
But don't let me interrupt your panic...
The extent to which MSNBC isn't even pretending any more - they're just an all-out, unmitigated STOP-SANDERS!! propaganda outlet - is astonishing to watch even for those of us who have long held it in contempt.
Remember what
@fshakir
said this week:
"I will appoint an attorney general, who for the first time in modern history, will go after the white-collar crime, which I believe is rampant. Instead of arresting kids for selling marijuana, maybe we go after some of the crooks on Wall Street."
WATCH: "You’re full of sh*t,"
@JoeBiden
tells a man who accused him of "actively trying to end our Second Amendment right."
"I support the Second Amendment," Biden adds while vising under-construction auto plant in Detroit.
@CBSNews
Bernie's plan "aims to cut the nation’s prison population in half, end mandatory minimum sentencing, ban private prisons and legalize marijuana. He says the current system does not fairly treat people of color, addicts or the mentally ill."
At Biden Town Hall in Greenwood, man challenges Biden on 3 million deportations. “You should vote for Trump then,” he cuts him off. “I’m not gonna do that,” man responds.
I said it before Iowa and I'll say it again: it's a very tight race. And any of a number of candidates could win. So let's work hard to turn people out.
Imagine if you had a media in this country who challenged other candidates about why they don't support universal health care that will save Americans money and improve health care in this country?
Instead we're stuck in a corporate frame of fear mongering
'Bernie is doing well, therefore people are stupid and we must save them from themselves'
Points for honesty and for saying it out loud. It is a prevailing view in too many elite quarters. But change is coming
Trump and Republicans have been attacking us over and over and over again the last few days.
In other words, the most dangerous president in modern American history is getting a little nervous.
"Nobody would have benefited more from Sanders’ political revolution than black people, and yet the generational divide among black voters impacted his campaign." via Michelle Alexander
OUT NOW: Latest
@MilitaryTimes
poll shows half of service members disapprove of Trump as commander in chief. Continues the decline we have seen among troops in recent years.
I could watch
@BernieSanders
on
@jimmyfallon
for hours. So so so so so so so good. He was serious, witty, funny, a great sport! And he shot some hoops. 🏀🏀🏀
"You’re paying a price, you committed a crime, you’re in jail. That's bad," Bernie Sanders said. "But you’re still living in American society and you have a right to vote. I believe in that"
"[Billionaires'] wealth growth is so great that they alone could provide a $3,000 stimulus payment to every man, woman and child in the country, and still be richer than they were 9 months ago."
You have pundits on radio and TV spouting nonsense frequently about Bernie with zero accountability.
Somehow the concern over vitriol doesn't extend to irresponsible comments made about our campaign.
If you are registered No Party Preference (NPP) in California, you MUST request a Democratic ballot in order to vote for Bernie in the primary.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders returned to New York City on Saturday, drawing the largest crowd of support in the 2020 election cycle thus far and marking his return to the campaign trail after suffering a heart attack on Oct. 1.
@rachelvscott
has the story.
It's no secret that we're taking on the political establishment and the big money interests, who are now running attack ads against us in Iowa. But we have the people, and our grassroots movement will prevail.
Asked about yelling at/threatening union worker,
@JoeBiden
says: "I'm surprised
@BernieSanders
is joining Trump."
This was at an auto plant BIDEN visited-NOTHING to do w/ Bernie. Another BIZARRE, nonsensical statement journalists and media will ignore.
Gonna be a big event tonight, folks. Even by Bernie campaign standards
Trump’s got a giant rally of his own going on tonight.
We’re ready to drive the kind of enthusiasm and excitement you’ll need to defeat him.
