Some Tweets from Elizabeth Warren


  •  Pinned Tweet
    It’s official: 100,000 in Manchester, Iowa! I don’t spend my time asking rich donors for big checks—I spend it with voters. Our selfie line gives me a moment (or 100,000) to meet our movement.
  • You are threatening to commit war crimes. We are not at war with Iran. The American people do not want a war with Iran. This is a democracy. You do not get to start a war with Iran, and your threats put our troops and diplomats at greater risk. Stop.
    Screenshot of Donald Trump's tweet: "....targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran &  the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!"
  • Before I hit the photo line, I put on my sneakers.
  • Racists, white supremacists, and people with hateful ideologies feel empowered and protected by Donald Trump—and we’re seeing the violent consequences. We have to get Trump out of the White House and fight against white nationalist violence.
  • We need to call out the fact that Americans with disabilities are excluded from economic opportunity and denied financial security. I have a plan to fight and change that.
  • About time. I called for a criminal investigation of the Wells Fargo CEO in 2016, and successfully pushed for the bank's board members to be held accountable. When CEOs and top bankers break the law, they should go to jail—just like anyone else.
  • Woo-hoo! Glad to see Okies hard at work in my home state. As we get closer to voting, having conversations with voters is one of the most important things we can do. The good news is you can start making calls now, from wherever you are!
  • The problem isn't big government versus small government. The problem is a government that's been captured by the rich and powerful. The solution is creating a government that works for everyone—not just the wealthy and well-connected.
  • New Hampshire's legislature passed a bill to raise the minimum wage—and Gov. Sununu vetoed it. We need to raise the federal minimum wage so everyone, in every state, has a living wage that can support themselves and their families.

    Your favorite buttons—now in braille!
  • If you can imagine that something better lies on the other side of the chaos and ugliness, you're more than halfway there. First you have to see it. Then we fight for it. Between selfies and pinkie promises in Concord, I heard those dreams. Together, we'll build that future.

  • Just a few hours into the new year, another trans American was killed in a senseless act of gun violence. Dustin Parker was a father, a husband, and an advocate who looked out for his community. We must fight for justice for him and all trans Americans.
  • Nobody fighting for climate action should be afraid that they’re going to lose their job. In a Warren administration, I will fight to protect and strengthen workers’ voices, especially those who are holding their employers accountable.
  • Too many "American" companies have only one real loyalty: The short-term interests of their shareholders. If they can outsource jobs to save a nickel, that’s exactly what they'll do. We have to defend good American jobs—and I've got a plan for that.
  • The catastrophic scenes from Australia's wildfires should alarm all of us. Climate change is driving even more dangerous and destructive fires across the world, from California to New South Wales—and we must fight together to defeat this crisis.
  • The Trump administration is expanding its dangerous and cruel "Remain in Mexico" policy, putting the lives of even more asylum seekers at risk. As president, I'll reverse this policy and ensure that asylum seekers are welcomed.
  • People with disabilities, like Sarah, are still fighting for economic security, equal opportunity, and inclusion—and I'll be fighting alongside them. Together, we built a plan to fight for justice and inclusion.
