Bernie critiques Trump pick to oversee public land

You can't make this up: Trump is appointing someone to oversee our federal lands who wants to sell them off to fossil fuel companies. Outrageous. We need to preserve our federal lands, not use them to increase our dependence on fossil fuels.

Bernie calls Betsy Devos the worst Education Secretary in modern history

Betsy DeVos is the worst Education Secretary in the modern history of our country. She has done everything in her power to help predatory lenders and for-profit colleges instead of the students she is supposed to serve. My Secretary of Education is going to be a little bit different — we are going to tax Wall Street speculation to make public colleges, universities and trade schools free and cancel student debt.

Bernie says Trump leading us into a climate disaster, we need to address climate crisis now

DC is flooded. It was 90 degrees in Alaska last week. Sea ice has shrunk to record lows in Antarctica. June was the hottest month ever recorded. And yesterday Trump gave a speech "touting" his environmental record. We don't have time for more lies or more oil industry executives running our government. We must address the climate crisis now.

Republicans have no problem giving over $1 trillion in tax breaks to the rich and massive corporations. But when it comes to canceling student debt or tuition-free college, we "can't afford it." What hypocrisy!

Bernie calls Trump the most dangerous President

Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in U.S. history. He is a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe and a religious bigot. He betrayed the working class to further enrich the wealthy. Our campaign is the best to defeat Trump because it is rooted in human solidarity.
