Vermont Senator and self-described Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders raised eyebrows throughout Washington Tuesday; urging his congressional colleagues to provide subsidized child care for every parent in the United States.
Sanders called for another massive federal entitlement program on social media this week, saying “Child care should not cost parents more than sending their kids to college. We need a revolution in child care in this country.”

BERNIE BREAKS WITH DEMS: Sanders Says Trump-Kim Summit a ‘POSITIVE STEP’
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders publicly praised President Trump’s Singapore summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un Tuesday, saying the meeting was a “positive step” towards “de-escalating” tensions in the region.
The socialist Senator broke with Democrats after Pelosi slammed Trump’s high-stakes summit as “hasty,” adding Trump’s negotiation will help minimize the risk of nuclear war across the globe.
“While very light on substance, Trump and Kim Jong Un’s meeting is a positive step in de-escalating tensions and addressing the threat of North Korea’s nuclear weapons. Congress has a key role to play in making sure this is a meaningful process, not just a series of photo ops,” tweeted Sanders.
