Bernie Sanders: I stand in solidarity with @AlphabetWorkers who are organizing to form a union at Google. What these workers are fighting for is not radical. They want fair wages and a workplace free from abuse, retaliation, intimidation and discrimination. And that is exactly what they deserve.

Bernie Sanders: No, Donald Trump, there are no votes for you to find. The American people have spoken and at 12:01 pm on January 20, you will no longer be president.

Bernie Sanders: It is a sad and tragic day for our country that 140 members of the House of Representatives, 13 senators and a defeated president are attempting to undermine American democracy and our Constitution. They will not succeed.

Bernie Sanders: Joe Biden will be President at noon on January 20. Republican attempts to overturn the election only demonstrate their disdain for voters, democracy and the will of the American people.

Bernie Sanders: I am on the Senate floor with a compromise: Let us vote on both $2,000 survival checks and McConnell's alternative, and see where the chips fall. Working families need help NOW. Let us not go home until the American people see their Senators vote! https://t.co/7Y9rita2LF

Bernie Sanders: Today, I will ask that the Senate vote yes or no on two bills: 1. The House passed $2,000 survival checks 2. Mitch McConnell’s alternative bill What objection could he possibly have to voting on his own bill? Let the Senate vote on $2,000 checks, Mitch!

Bill McKibben: Great good news to end this tough year: Creighton University, a colossus of Midwestern Catholicism, to divest entirely from fossil fuel! The Vatican's words are working their way down through the worldwide church--such thanks to @divestcreighton who fought hard for this day!

Bernie Sanders: Mitch McConnell says $2,000 checks are "socialism for the rich." Ha! Here are the tax rebate checks corporations received from Trump's tax plan: Amazon: $129 million Delta: $187 million Chevron: $181 million GM: $104 million IBM: $342 million That's socialism for the rich!

Bill McKibben: Massachusetts becomes the first to follow California and mandate all new cars be electric by 2035. It needs to happen faster (and electric buses are probably more vital) but this is the kind of signal that moves markets https://t.co/CsJjl0RSkm

Bernie Sanders: I’m delighted that Mitch McConnell suddenly decided to care about “socialism for the rich”! That means the huge tax breaks for billionaires that he helped pass—not the $2,000 direct payments that America’s struggling working-class families desperately need.

Bernie Sanders: All of a sudden, Mitch McConnell is "worried" about giving a $2,000 check to someone who "doesn't need it." That's funny. He had no problem giving a $560 million tax break to Sheldon Adelson who is worth $34.3 billion. Total hypocrisy! Let the Senate vote on $2,000 now, Mitch!

Bernie Sanders: Republican leadership has endless amounts of money for bloated military budgets and tax breaks for billionaires. But when working families need help, oh my God, we can’t afford it! I am a little tired of that hypocrisy.

Bernie Sanders: The American people deserve to know: Does their Senator support or oppose providing a $2,000 direct payment to the working class? Mitch McConnell has the right to vote against this legislation. But he should not have the right to block a vote. https://t.co/4lIxKnjXYp

Bernie Sanders: All of a sudden Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are worried that someone in America might get a $2,000 check "who doesn't need it." Funny. They had no problem giving a $1.4 billion tax break to Charles Koch and his family with a net worth of $113 billion. What hypocrisy!

Bernie Sanders: I'm trying to figure out what the problem is with voting up or down on $2,000 direct payments to working people. Senate Republicans can't seem to give me a clear answer.

Bernie Sanders: “I don't know how to live anymore. Sometimes it's so hard." This family says $2,000 checks would help them pay their back rent and survive.
