Bernie says Drug and Insurance companies are hiring lobbyist, we have the people

Drug and insurance companies are gearing up to protect their billions in profits and stop Medicare for All. 9 of the 10 groups hiring the most lobbyists on Medicare for All oppose it. We have something more powerful than lobbyists and money: the people.

Kamala releases a plan to force corporations to prove they are not engaging in pay discrimination

This week I released a plan that would force corporations to prove they are not engaging in pay discrimination. The gender pay gap won’t quickly close on its own unless we take action. Corporations must be held accountable.

Warren says selling arms to Saudi Arabia will not make us safe and will only enrich defense contractors

Selling more weapons to Saudi Arabia doesn't make America safer or align with our country's values. It only benefits defense contractors and @realDonaldTrump's alarming desire to sow chaos abroad. l'll do everything I can in Congress to stop it.

Bernie says if Amazon can pay workers $15, Mc Donalds can do in view of all the profits they make

“If Amazon can raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour, there is no reason that McDonald’s—a company that took in $1.4 billion in profit and paid its CEO $22 million—can’t also pay its workers a living wage.”

Julian Castro criticized McDonalds for how they have treated their employees

While @McDonalds has raked in billions in profits each year, they've failed to adequately pay their employees, let them unionize, or protect them from sexual harassment. Proud to stand with @RevDrBarber and @MaryKayHenry to strike for workers across the country.

Warren says we need a strong @CFPB to hold credit card companies accountable

10 years ago this week, Congress passed a bipartisan bill to help get the tricks & traps out of the fine print of credit card agreements – but the fight’s not over. We need a strong @CFPB to hold credit card companies accountable when they cheat customers & break the law.

Warren stands with Sears workers against corporate fat cats

I stand with @AOC, @forrespect, and the 250,000 workers who lost jobs and severance pay when Wall Street fat cats @StevenMnuchin1 and Eddie Lampert gutted companies like @Sears. Together, we'll keep fighting for justice, accountability, and better futures for all.

Warren uses the Sears example to say Washington not working for everyone

Washington is supposed to work for everyone. Instead, the rich & powerful like @StevenMnuchin1 & Eddie Lampert use it to become even more rich & powerful, while workers are left holding the bag. This is the DC swamp at its worst.

Bernie points out that Trump tax breaks not working for ordinary people as Ford lays off thousands

“Ford got nearly $750 million in tax breaks from the Trump tax scam and paid its CEO $18 million last year. Now, Ford is laying off thousands of workers. The bottom line: Republicans sold the tax scam as a way to create jobs and help workers. They lied.”

AOC rails againts CEO’s who are getting pay raises despite their performance

“It still blows my mind that the CEOs who crashed our economy + caused millions of people to lose their homes not only escaped handcuffs; but got bonuses, too.💸 Many still have influential roles shaping the economy today. But we’re the crazy ones for wanting to tax ‘em, right?”

“Can you imagine traveling 20 miles every month to collect clean drinking water? That is what people here in Denmark, South Carolina, have to do because the state government pumped a dangerous chemical into the city’s water supply.”
