Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 30/04/2026The world’s leading scientists are warning that AI could “end civilization as we know it.” 97% of Americans believe AI safety should be subject to rules. When will our government wake up?! We need global cooperation — before it’s too late. 1981946677 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 30/04/2026I enjoyed speaking with hunger and nutrition advocates from Vermont this week. In the richest country in the history of the world, nobody should be going hungry. I thank these advocates for their tireless efforts. 601708328 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 29/04/2026Ex-OpenAI board member Helen Toner says AI companies are "deadly serious" about building machines that outperform humans at everything and they don’t know if they’ll be able to control them. So why hasn’t Congress taken meaningful action to regulate AI? 1071519519 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 29/04/2026We need healthcare and affordable housing for all Americans, not taxpayer funding for war crimes. 631510373 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 20/04/2026In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages. As many of us understood then, that claim was a lie. Now they’re being sold the same false promises about AI. 541368346 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 16/04/2026Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars. 1353041665 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 15/04/2026For Netanyahu, the war in Gaza was not enough. Iran was not enough. He is now waging a full-blown war of expansion in Lebanon. The time is long overdue for Congress to listen to the American people and end U.S. military aid to the extremist Israeli government. 1553526917 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 06/04/2026The American people do not want endless war. 1312612619 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 03/04/202670% think AI will lead to fewer jobs. They are right. We can’t allow a handful of billionaires, eager to increase their wealth and power, to rush forward with a technology that will fundamentally transform humanity without democratic input or accountability. 441315287 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 01/04/2026We can no longer tolerate a rigged tax code that enables billionaires to pay a lower effective tax rate than the average worker & corporations like Tesla & Palantir to pay ZERO in federal income taxes while making billions in profits. Yes. The wealthy must pay their fair share. 651578358 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 30/03/2026Mayor Mamdani is right. Families in New York City deserve free child care. But it’s not just New York. Instead of giving tax breaks to billionaires, Congress must pass a universal child care bill to guarantee high-quality child care for every American family. 341355219 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 26/03/2026Call me a radical, but NO. We should not be replacing teachers in America with robots. We should attract the best and brightest in our country to become teachers and pay them the decent wages that they deserve. 45352051076 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 23/03/2026Jeff Bezos, worth $233 billion, wants to raise $100 billion to replace factory workers with robots. That’s a declaration of war against the working class. He must explain to the American people what happens when millions lose their jobs. How will they survive? 1512290668 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 20/03/2026Jeff Bezos, one of the richest men on earth, is raising $100 billion to replace workers with robots around the world. The oligarchs want it all. Not going to happen. Stand up and FIGHT BACK. 664162394846 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 13/03/2026Trump is a demagogue who not only targets Democrats with bogus criminal charges, but goes after conservative Republicans like Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Powell’s “crime”? He didn't bow to Trump. Today, a judge appropriately blocked the Justice Department from issuing subpoenas. 381889448 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 09/03/2026I am delighted that dogs are able to receive high-quality health care. But what about humans? In America today, 85 million are uninsured or under-insured. Health care must be considered a human right. We need Medicare for All, NOW. 421217191 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 03/03/2026The United States gave Netanyahu over $24 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund his horrific war in Gaza. That wasn't enough. Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump gave him one. The American people — not Netanyahu’s right-wing government — should determine U.S. foreign policy. 10631511018 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 03/03/2026Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive. 18769702047 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 02/03/2026President Trump was right in 2020: "We've spent $8 trillion in the Middle East and we're not fixing our roads in this country? How stupid. How stupid is it? And we're not fixing our tunnels, our bridges, our hospitals, our schools? It's crazy." 961829495 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 28/02/2026The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran. 1324223746276 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 27/02/2026I don’t agree with the Trump administration on much but Dr. Means, his nominee for Surgeon General, is right when she says we should ban TV ads for junk food. Obesity is a national crisis and the corporate food industry is largely responsible. 565972127 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 25/02/2026The overwhelming scientific evidence is clear: vaccines do not cause autism. So why couldn’t Trump’s nominee for Surgeon General simply say that? 571421303 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 23/02/2026Yes. We need a moratorium on data center construction. 532108426 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 20/02/2026Do you think Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos are investing in AI to help the working class of this country? No, they’re in it to accumulate even more wealth and power for themselves. We’ve got to make AI work for working people, not just for billionaires. 731745412 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 12/02/2026Electricity, the automobile, radio, TV, computers, the internet—all changed the way we live. But they pale in comparison to the revolution AI will bring about. The question is: who benefits? It must work for working families, not just billionaires. 59940208 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 11/02/2026Dialysis provider Fresenius paid its CEO $4.8 million in 2024—then fired nurse Alan Faustino for speaking out about working conditions.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 04/02/2026What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal. It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law. 25851901534 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 03/02/2026We are now facing the largest measles outbreak since the disease was eliminated from the United States over a quarter-century ago. The science is clear: vaccines are the best way to protect against measles. The NIH Director admits it. Why won’t RFK, Jr.? 792421621 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 01/02/2026ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army. If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country. 13944071125 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 31/01/2026I promised the people of Vermont that I would not support another penny for ICE unless there were fundamental reforms to how that agency operates, and tonight I kept my word. 1293121501 0

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 27/01/2026While the billionaire class gets obscenely richer, two-thirds of Americans say a middle-class lifestyle is out of reach , and a majority can’t afford decent education, housing or a secure retirement. In the richest country on Earth, we can, and must, do better. 921792482 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 23/01/2026This is authoritarianism, plain and simple. The Trump administration is targeting states that didn’t vote for him — including my home state of Vermont. Using federal power to punish political opponents is anti-democratic and blatantly illegal. 992056571 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 22/01/2026Together, we must defend democracy and defeat authoritarianism. 1032857752 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 21/01/2026The idea that a U.S. president would threaten to invade Greenland because Norway didn’t give him a Nobel Prize is pathetic. This has nothing to do with foreign policy. It’s a president acting like a narcissistic spoiled child because his feelings got hurt. Unacceptable. 993092719 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 20/01/2026Given the dysfunctional political environment, I’m proud we reached a health care deal that provides the largest increase in community health center funding in a decade, expands the health care workforce, lowers drug costs and strengthens vital cancer research for kids. 45898130 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 15/01/2026We hear a lot of talk about “freedom” from my Republican colleagues. And yet these same Republicans are working overtime to deny tens of millions of women the basic freedom to control their own bodies. That is wrong, and it represents a fundamental betrayal of what freedom is about. 721904521 0
Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 13/01/2026For Trump to put his name on the Kennedy Center and other federal buildings is not only arrogant and narcissistic, it is illegal.
