Let me be clear: Antisemitism is horrific and vile and has no place in this country. But it is not antisemitic to want to stop an illegal war. Netanyahu is trying to deflect attention away from the horrendous situation his right-wing, extremist government has created in Gaza.
The 40-hour workweek was established in 1940. The economy has changed a little bit since then. In my view, the financial gains from new technology and increased productivity must go to workers, not just to the people on top.
Poll after poll shows that the American people do not want to give more military aid to the extreme Netanyahu government to continue its war in Gaza. No one should be shocked that Congress has a 14% approval rating.
For decades, the U.S. has fought for Big Pharma’s interests all around the world. Until now. I welcome USTR Ambassador Tai's announcement that the U.S. will not bully countries that stand up to Big Pharma. We must work together to end the greed of the pharmaceutical industry.
There is no freedom without economic security. And yet, Republicans are working to defund and destroy Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. We are not going to abandon our seniors. Every American has a right to a secure retirement.

You might hear people say that addressing climate change is expensive. They’re wrong. Solar for All — legislation I wrote — can save Americans more than $8.7 BILLION in electric bills and create thousands of good-paying jobs in the process.
No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children. You will not distract us from this immoral war.
Today, the United States is aiding and abetting the destruction of the Palestinian people.
No drug is worth anything if people cannot afford it. Today, I am launching an investigation into the outrageous prices Americans are charged for Ozempic and Wegovy. No one should have to pay up to $1,349 a month for prescription drugs that cost less than $5 to manufacture.
We cannot allow Novo Nordisk to continue to charge $969 for Ozempic in the US when it sells for just $59 in Germany & costs $5 to manufacture. The Senate HELP Committee that I chair is investigating the outrageous prices of Ozempic & Wegovy in the US. nytimes.com/2024/04/24/wel…
I voted no tonight on the foreign aid package for one simple reason: U.S. taxpayers should not be providing billions more to the extremist Netanyahu government to continue its devastating war against the Palestinian people.
LIVE: It's a dark day in America when the Senate suspends debate around funding Netanyahu's immoral war x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Can you believe we live in a world where a Starbucks worker can't seek other barista jobs because of a so-called "non-compete" clause? Outrageous! I applaud the Federal Trade Commission for banning non-compete clauses. Once again, Chair Khan is delivering for working people.

It is a dark day for democracy when the Senate will not even allow a vote on whether U.S. taxpayer dollars should fund Netanyahu’s war against the Palestinian people.
LIVE: Today, I am offering two amendments. 1. NO unfettered military aid for Netanyahu’s war on the Palestinian people. 2. Restore funding for UNRWA so that children in Gaza don’t starve. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
I look forward to offering amendments tomorrow to cut billions in offensive military funding to Israel from the proposed national security supplemental package and protect essential humanitarian operations. We cannot continue to fund this horrific war.
In the '30s, the government helped bring electricity to every part of our country as part of the New Deal. Today, we can lead the world in transforming that energy system away from fossil fuels to renewable energy & save Americans billions on their electric bills in the process.
I am proud to announce the Solar for All program with @POTUS. It will not only combat the climate crisis by making solar energy available to working people, it will also substantially lower Americans' electric bills & create thousands of good-paying jobs. youtube.com/watch?v=fqSY0e…
Thank you to the more than 130 young Vermonters from across our state who came out to my second-annual Youth Chess Day to learn and play the game that teaches us to think, focus, and strategize. It was great to see so many kids come out and play chess.

As yet another round of conflict threatens to erupt, I urge you to listen to what they have to say.
The #futureofwork must include a living wage for all Americans. I am a proud co-sponsor of the #RaisetheWage Act being introduced today.
Today, Democrats are unveiling the #RaiseTheWage Act to gradually increase the minimum wage to $15 by 2025. That means a long-overdue raise for nearly 32 MILLION workers across the country.
This pandemic pushed millions more Americans into poverty. Finally delivering a $15 minimum wage will help workers lift their families out of poverty and strengthen our recovery from this crisis. I’m proud to join @SenSanders as an original co-sponsor of the Raise the Wage Act.
Today, I am introducing the Raise the Wage Act with my colleagues to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour. The time for talk is over. No more excuses. We can no longer tolerate millions of workers making starvation wages. Watch our press conference here: facebook.com/senatorsanders…
Was just on the floor w/ @SenSanders trying to pass $2k #covid relief proposed by @realDonaldTrump - despite support from Republicans & Democrats of all stripes, we STILL can’t get a vote in the Senate
I just took to the floor again to demand a vote on $2000 survival checks. Sen. Thune (R-SD) objected. @SenSanders again demanded a vote on $2000 checks—and then on Sen. McConnell’s own bill. Sen. Cornyn objected (R-TX) for Sen. Toomey (R-PA). Democrats will not stop fighting.
Donald Trump and @SenSanders agree on $2k covid relief payments. Sanders says on @NewsHour: "A broken clock is right twice a day... every once in awhile Trump has it right."
Amo Bernie getting it done. Thank you for exercising every option needed to get the CASH Act to provide $2k up for a vote in the Senate.
Two-thirds of the House voted to provide $2,000 in direct payments to the working class. Now it’s the Senate’s turn to do that—no excuses. Unless McConnell agrees to a vote on $2,000 relief checks, Congress will be spending New Year’s Eve in the Capitol. washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/12…
When it comes to COVID relief in the midst of this crisis, working families and working people should be first to get relief, not last. What Senator Hawley and @SenSanders are proposing is simple. Direct assistance NOW 👨⚕️$1,200/individual 👫$2,400/couple 👨👩👧$500/dependent
NEW — Sen. Hawley and @SenSanders have introduced a bipartisan amendment to the end-of-year funding bill to provide immediate direct payments to working Americans "Working people are struggling. And they should be the first people given relief, not last." go.usa.gov/xA368
Happy birthday to @USProgressives founding member @SenSanders! Your fight for working people across the nation inspires us every day.
We just heard back from the Chief Actuary at the Social Security Administration: As @SenSchumer, @RonWyden, @SenSanders, and I suspected, if Trump goes through with his reckless plan, it would “permanently deplete” the funds that keep Social Security up and running.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's 'suspension' of policies does not reverse his destructive actions to the USPS or change his countless conflict of interests. @RepKClark & I led 90 Dems demanding he be removed immediately.
As our country faces vast economic and health needs, billionaires continue to display their appetite for greed. Thank you @SenSanders @SenMarkey & @SenGillibrand for addressing both COVID-19 health care disparities and gaping income inequality in our nation. #MakeBillionairesPay
Today, with @SenMarkey and @SenGillibrand, I am introducing a 60% tax on the obscene wealth gains of 467 billionaires during this pandemic in order to guarantee healthcare as a right to all for an entire year. #MakeBillionairesPay commondreams.org/news/2020/08/0…
$731 billion in wealth was accumulated by just 467 billionaires during this pandemic, as millions suffer from lost jobs and food security. I'm joining @BernieSanders and @EdMarkey to introduce a 60% tax on these obscene wealth gains. Billionaires should pay their fair share.
U.S. billionaires have gotten over $730B richer since mid-March, while working families bore the brunt of the economic & healthcare fallout of the pandemic. It’s time. We're joining @SenSanders in calling for a wealth tax to #MakeBillionairesPay. commondreams.org/news/2020/08/0…

Extrajudicial killings, torture, arbitrary arrest, violence against indigenous & LGBTQ communities, corruption, human rights abuses–this is what Honduras looks like under its current president, so I asked Sec. Pompeo why this Admin continues to cozy up to Juan Orlando Hernández.
The State Deptartment, which brags of its devotion to the rights of life and liberty enshrined in the Declaration, ignores all of that when those rights are trampled in Honduras by a government that the Department continues to call a friend and partner.
Extrajudicial killings, torture, arbitrary arrest, violence against indigenous & LGBTQ communities, corruption, human rights abuses–this is what Honduras looks like under its current president, so I asked Sec. Pompeo why this Admin continues to cozy up to Juan Orlando Hernández.
