I'm delighted that Boehringer Ingelheim, AstraZeneca, and GlaxoSmithKline are lowering the cost of asthma inhalers to $35. I'm disturbed that Teva has not done the same. Teva must not continue to charge Americans with asthma $286 for inhalers that sell for just $9 in Germany.
For too long the food and beverage industry has put profits over the health of our children. Today 1 in 5 kids in the U.S. are living with obesity and the number of kids with type 2 diabetes is estimated to skyrocket by nearly 700% in the next 40 years. Congress must act.
While we work to prevent further escalation between Israel and Iran, we cannot lose sight of the unprecedented humanitarian disaster taking place in Gaza. We must not look away.
Listen to FTC Chair Lina Khan explain how the pharmaceutical industry is doing everything they can to charge Americans the highest prices possible for the drugs they need. Spoiler alert: Greed. Greed. Greed.
Over and over again, I hear my Republican colleagues talk about the high cost of addressing the climate crisis. Well, maybe we should be asking them about the high cost of not addressing it at all.

We need bright, young minds on the side of justice, not on the side of big money.
Last week, I visited Morgan State University's nursing program to learn how they are leading in addressing disparities in the nursing workforce. We must do more to support young people who want to go into medicine to improve care for our Black and Brown communities.
La lucha por ganar tiempo de vida se está dando a ambos lados del Atlántico. Hoy he podido conversar con mi querido @SenSanders sobre nuestras propuestas para reducir la jornada laboral y mejorar el día a día de las personas trabajadoras.
Let me get this straight: A worker at McDonald's could be forced to sign a non-compete clause which means they can't take a job at Burger King for a better paycheck? That's absurd.
LIVE: The U.S. must use all its leverage to secure an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and across the region and ensure humanitarian aid access. History will judge what we do right now. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Nurses are the backbone of American health care. They deserve our gratitude and respect. Thank you to the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing for the discussion on the essential role that nurses play in our communities.
The U.S. has lost 1 in 4 public housing units to privatization, demolition & underfunding over the last decade. We do not have to accept a country where millions of families are on the brink of eviction. We need a Green New Deal for Public Housing. @AOC msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…
Here is a radical idea: Billionaires should not have an effective tax rate lower than teachers and nurses. The wealthiest people in this country must start paying their fair share.
I condemn Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israel. I also condemn the reckless Israeli airstrike on Iran’s embassy compound in Damascus. In the midst of growing Middle East tension, we cannot ignore for a moment Netanyahu’s horrific war against the Palestinian people.
At a moment of unprecedented levels of corporate concentration, we must do everything in our power to take on monopolies. Join me and Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan LIVE as we discuss monopoly power and corporate greed. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Last week, I joined @domesticworkers to discuss the vital work that care workers do across this country. In the year 2024, it is unacceptable that workers providing care for our children and seniors earn poverty level wages and rarely receive benefits.
Join me TODAY at 4:15 p.m. ET for a livestream discussion about taking on monopolies with Federal Trade Commission Chair @linakhanFTC.
More Americans, including mainstream media, understand that the U.S. cannot continue to blindly fund Netanyahu's war machine, which is causing a humanitarian disaster in Gaza. We cannot allow hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children to starve. nytimes.com/2024/04/13/opi…

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…
.@BernieSanders and @SenJeffMerkley just introduced a bill banning most facial recognition by private corporations. If passed, it would make Clearview AI's business almost entirely illegal businessinsider.com/senate-bill-sa…
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.
55 years ago today, Medicare & Medicaid were signed into law. 55 years later, it's time to pass Medicare for All.
