Hilarious. Not only did Bernie pass more roll call amendments when the Republicans controlled the House than any other Member from 1995-2006, but two of those amendments cut $95 million in corporate welfare to the fossil fuel industry. Guess who led the opposition? Mike Doyle.
From '95-'06, Bernie passed the most roll call amendments & was the "amendment king." “He accomplishes this on the one hand by being relentlessly active and on the other by using his status as an independent to form left-right coalitions.” politifact.com/factchecks/201…
Bernie's amendment to cut $45 million in corporate welfare for the fossil fuel industry won 248-169 on July 13, 1999. 128 Democrats, 119 Republicans & 1 independent voted for it. This was the very first amendment I worked on for Bernie. clerk.house.gov/Votes/1999282

The $2,000 direct payment thread of key events:

The postal nominees that Bernie blocked were Republican white men picked by Mitch McConnell and opposed by the NAACP and the AFL-CIO because they wanted to privatize the Postal Service and represented the payday lending industry. I was the staffer who placed the hold. Receipt: Image
Here are the pictures of the Republican white men that were picked by Mitch McConnell to serve on the Postal Board of Governors who Bernie blocked because they were strongly opposed by the NAACP and AFL-CIO. Image
As Ronald Reagan's OMB Director in 1988, James Miller, 1 of the Postal nominees Bernie blocked said: “There is no good reason why [the Postal Service] should remain part of the U.S. government and no good reason why it should enjoy a monopoly over the delivery of letter mail.”

This is one of the most absurd takes of all time. The postal nominees Bernie blocked wanted to privatize the Postal Service, end 6-day mail, undermine unions, cut jobs, pension and healthcare benefits and lobbied for the payday lending industry. Facts matter, Jason. (See Thread)
Meet the postal nominees Bernie blocked:

James Miller: Ronald Reagan's OMB director who wanted to privatize the Postal Service

Mickey Barnett: A GOP payday lending lobbyist

Stephen Crawford: Who wanted to end Saturday mail and slash jobs, pensions and healthcare benefits
These postal nominees were opposed by:

Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
American Postal Workers’ Union
AFL-CIO
AFSCME
NAACP
National Council of La Raza
SEIU
National Urban League

Read what they had to say about these nominees⬇️ Image

The American people are sick and tired of politicians who support a Medicare for All, single-payer system one day and use GOP talking points against it the day after receiving huge campaign contributions from insurance and drug company executives. Here are the facts. Thread
Fact: Bernie’s Medicare for All bill gives everyone the freedom to choose their own doctor, hospital & dentist with no premiums, co-payments or deductibles

Pete's plan doesn't give Americans the freedom to choose doctors who aren't in-network & doesn't eliminate those expenses.
Fact: Bernie’s bill expands Medicare to include:

- Dental
- Vision &
- Hearing

Pete’s plan does not. It provides zero help to the:

- 65% of seniors
- 34% of working-age Americans and
- 10% of children

who have NO dental coverage.

The tweet below is 1 of the most absurd takes of the campaign.

The 1st grassroots campaign I worked on for @BernieSanders was back in 1999: To restore $320 million in pension benefits that IBM had stolen from 130,000 workers.

We had 1 major Senate ally: Paul Wellstone.

Thread
@BernieSanders The first thing Bernie taught me was that it was not good enough to write a good bill, amendment or speech.

If we were going to improve the lives of the working class, we had to rally the American people against corporate greed and corruption.

Some major grassroots victories⬇️
@BernieSanders In other words, Bernie’s very essence is about building or joining grassroots efforts against:

Segregation
Starvation Wages
Social Security Cuts
Pension Cuts
Outsourcing
⬆️Drug Prices
Climate Change
Endless Wars
Wall Street Greed
Postal Service Cuts
Cuts to Veterans Benefits
