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.

Andrew Yang says tuition too expensive, he will forgive much and work on reform

College is too expensive, forcing many to take out student loans that will saddle them with debt throughout their lives. I would forgive much of this debt and work with schools to reduce tuition. We can do much better for our young people.

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 reports that McConnell will not bring the Violence Against Women act to the floor for a vote

It's been 48 days since the Violence Against Women Act passed the House. But @SenateMajLdr McConnell would rather help his @NRA buddies than bring #VAWA to the floor. This is ridiculous. Women's lives are more important than gun lobbyists' wish lists.

We know that the Russians are trying to interfere in our elections again in 2020. But @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell is burying any election security bill that would confront this threat in his legislative graveyard. Why?https://twitter.com/voxdotcom/status/1130807990569832448 …

Bernie criticizes South Carolina State Supreme Court on their education ruling

“In South Carolina, unbelievably the standard, according to the state Supreme Court, is that children only get a “minimally adequate education.” How disgraceful is that! We are going to guarantee every kid in America an excellent education, not a "minimally adequate" one.”
