Senator Bernie Sanders

Congratulations to the Vermont Green who just completed an undefeated season. This is a fantastic soccer team, with great management, that has generated enormous community support and pride. 

Undefeated. Two overtime playoff wins. Now, national champions. Unbelievable.

Tariffs must be seriously thought out and used to help American workers & consumers. They should not be used to punish the political decisions of our allies.

Canada has a right to set its own policy on Palestine. Americans shouldn't pay the price because Trump doesn't like it.

Today's jobs report shows what many Americans already knew: despite record highs in the stock market, the “economy” is not working for ordinary people.

Rather than accept reality & try to address it, Trump chooses to fire the bearers of bad news.

This is what authoritarians do.

Are you ready for a radical idea?

The function of our health care system should be to provide quality care for all, not huge profits for the insurance companies and the drug companies.

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders Trump Attacks Women's Health | Sen. Bernie Sanders

Three years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

19 states adopted abortion bans.

Now, thanks to Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” 15 million people will lose their health insurance, including access to reproductive services.

Women will die seeking basic health care.

By a vote of 27-17, Senate Democrats voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral and illegal war against the Palestinian people.

The tide is turning.

Americans don't want to spend billions to starve children in Gaza.

End U.S. military aid to Israel.

The time is long overdue for Congress to stop funding Israel’s illegal and horrific war against the Palestinian people.

The U.S. must not support a government which is starving children.

Tomorrow, I will force votes in the Senate to block the sale of weapons to Netanyahu.

We're the wealthiest nation on earth. We don’t need “austerity” or tax breaks for billionaires.

We need policies that benefit working families, not just the 1%.

NOW is the time to EXPAND health care, INVEST in public education and BUILD low-income and affordable housing.

Incredible. @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social won again. This time on penalties.

Now, they’re on to play in the USL League Two national championship.

Congratulations to Vermont Green. Bring home the gold!

The Americans with Disabilities Act — passed 35 years ago — was not a gift. It was the result of a powerful movement led by people who demanded to be seen, heard and treated with dignity.

The fight for equality is far from over. In fact, it is more urgent now than ever.

The Netanyahu government’s extermination of Gaza intensifies. Malnutrition is rampant, children are starving to death, people are shot while waiting for meager food rations — and US weapons allow it to happen.

Trump and Congress must act NOW. Stop the slaughter. Feed the people.

Primary care doctors at Mass General Brigham Hospital are on the front lines of our health care crisis. Unfortunately, MGB is not treating them with the respect they deserve.
 
I urge MGB to do the right thing and bargain with Doctors Council SEIU for a fair first contract now.

Save Public Education: Pay Teachers What They Deserve YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders

It is time to address the pay crisis teachers are facing throughout the United States.

Join me for a livestreamed town hall on saving public education in America.

Doctor Denies Woman Prenatal Care Because She’s Unmarried A Tennessee woman was forced to flee her state to seek treatment for her pregnancy.

A Tennessee woman was denied prenatal care by her doctor because she is "unwed."

Let's be clear: the Republican agenda is not pro-life or pro-family.

If it were, pregnant women wouldn't be forced to flee their home states to get basic prenatal care.

Today, 4 hedge fund managers on Wall St. earn more in a year than every kindergarten teacher in America combined.

Teachers: join us for a town hall tomorrow w/ leaders from the AFT & NEA to discuss the enormously important issue of raising teacher pay & saving public education.

Today, Trump sold out the young people of America and future generations.

He will give the fossil fuel industry the unrestricted ability to release carbon emissions and accelerate the existential threat of climate change.

How much in campaign contributions is that worth?

I met with Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian student at Columbia University, who was imprisoned for 104 days by the Trump administration for opposing Netanyahu’s illegal & horrific war in Gaza. Outrageous.

We must not allow Trump to destroy the First Amendment & freedom to dissent.

Trump is putting the planet and future generations at risk for the short-term profits of his fossil fuel executive friends.

YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders My thoughts on the Epstein files | Sen. Bernie Sanders

My thoughts on the Epstein files:

Congratulations to Vermont Green on their Round of 16 victory against FC Motown. They remain undefeated. Vermont is a soccer state!

I appreciated the opportunity to say hello on Sunday and wish the team well.

Netanyahu’s atrocities are not limited to Gaza. He has also unleashed terrorist settlers in the West Bank who attack civilians and recently beat a young American to death.

Even Trump’s ambassador, Mike Huckabee, called this a “terrorist act.”

NO MORE MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Today we forced Trump to release $1.3 billion for more than 10,000 summer & afterschool programs helping 1.4 million students.

It's not enough. He's still illegally withholding $5.5 billion more from schools.

Congress passed it. The president signed it. Trump must release it.

Fenway Park is an iconic American institution, and it’s the workers there that make every Red Sox game special.

The team is extremely profitable. They should treat their employees with respect, pay them decent wages and negotiate a fair contract with the union.

I enjoyed meeting yesterday with Hailey Chase & McKenzie Forbes, officers in the Vermont Future Farmers of America.

Family farms in Vermont & across the country are struggling. It’s imperative that we bring young people back into agriculture. Thank you Future Farmers of America.

More than 130 workers on strike at Janesville Mercyhealth clinic “Our members do virtually everything from providing multiple levels of care to facility maintenance,” the union stated. “Non-profit healthcare workers should be able to afford their own healthcare.”

Over 130 UAW Local 95 workers with Mercyhealth in Wisconsin are striking for better wages and affordable health insurance. It is absurd that medical workers cannot afford their own health care.

Mercyhealth needs to come to the table with a fair offer for their workers NOW.

Like all authoritarians, Trump doesn’t like criticism or objective reporting. He just wants flattery. That’s why he wants to defund NPR and PBS.

We need media in this country that is not owned by billionaires and corporate interests.

I will vote to support public broadcasting.

Widespread flooding in New York, New Jersey, Texas and elsewhere.

Trump’s belief that climate change is a “hoax” will destroy communities and cost us hundreds of billions in damages.

If we, and the global community, do not get our act together what we're seeing now will only get worse.

Israel’s far right tried to expel Ayman Odeh, an Arab Israeli opposition leader, from the Knesset because of his opposition to Netanyahu’s war.

Today, they failed.

If Israel is going to be considered a democracy, it cannot expel members of parliament for their political views.

My colleagues and I strongly condemn the effort to expel MK Ayman Odeh from the Israeli Knesset, which is a direct response to Odeh’s brave calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

If Israel is going to call itself a democracy, it must tolerate peaceful dissent.
