"Over the last number of years as I think everybody in America knows, Congress has provided massive tax breaks for the very wealthiest people in our country, which is one of the reasons why today we have more income and wealth inequality than any time since the 1920s."
"Congress has given huge tax breaks to large corporations. So that some of the most profitable and largest corporations in America today, pay zero in federal income taxes." @BernieSanders
"Over 330,000 about people have died from COVID-19, and as we speak. During the last year education.. has been disrupted, And the terrible emotional isolation that this pandemic has caused... has resulted in a huge increase in mental illness, drug addiction and even suicide."
"Do we turn our backs on struggling working families, or do we respond to their pain?" @BernieSanders asking the same question he has for decades.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won because of the most progressive generation in American history.
Young people showed up in record numbers to vote even as the campaign ignored their issues.
GOTV efforts were often run by local under-resourced BIPOC, not the official campaign.
Joe Biden's and Kamala Harris' administration must represent us and all voters who voted to oust fascism, not just represent corporate allies. The people won this election. The people must be represented.

...You know, I've always said this, you get what you organize for, and we've been massively organizing our state, our district, for this turnout. I told my colleagues and counterparts here in our state...
..and in our caucus that the reason so many Republicans were donating and investing in me having a primary challenger was to put a damper on our organizing ability,and that they had this long term strategy to either wear us out, to rid us of the resources and to give themselves..
Congratulations @CoriBush on officially heading to congress!
"Our America, not Trump's America, our America, will be led not by the small mindedness of a powerful few, but the imagination of a mass movement that includes all of us. That's the America we are fighting for." @CoriBush#NotMeUs
"This is not about Cori, this is about what you did today... Your Congresswomen elect loves you. If I love you I care that you eat." @CoriBush talks about ah agenda based on love #NotMeUs
"@DisguisedToast was with me the whole time, but, I am being marinated, is that the term?" @AOC
"Wow @DisguisedToast really went into that last game, said with his whole heart, I would not marinate a congresswoman, and that's exactly what happened. That's politics, right?" @AOC
