Some Tweets from Elizabeth Warren


  • Selling more weapons to Saudi Arabia doesn't make America safer or align with our country's values. It only benefits defense contractors and 's alarming desire to sow chaos abroad. l'll do everything I can in Congress to stop it.
  • . wants to keep selling American weapons to his Saudi buddies. But he knows Congress won't approve selling to a regime that's bombed thousands of Yemeni civilians and murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi – so he's trying to go around us. 
  • This is a despicable act of cowardice. This vandalism is meant to divide us – but I know it only strengthens the resolve of the people of Dorchester and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
  • Last week, , & I questioned about the delays. Now, the agency has confirmed the hospital on Vieques will be rebuilt. It's a critical win for the people of Puerto Rico – and we’ll be with them every step of the way.
  • For nearly 2 years, 9,000 US citizens living on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico haven't had access to a local hospital. Theirs was destroyed in Hurricane Maria, and despite promises to rebuild, kept delaying the project.
  • Last night, I voted for a major bipartisan disaster relief package that will help people across the country recover from natural disasters like hurricanes, flooding, and wildfires. When we work together, our nation comes out on top.
  • 10 years ago this week, Congress passed a bipartisan bill to help get the tricks & traps out of the fine print of credit card agreements – but the fight’s not over. We need a strong to hold credit card companies accountable when they cheat customers & break the law.
  • I'm proud to cosponsor the Women’s Health Protection Act. It would by enshrining Roe v. Wade into federal law – ensuring everyone in this country has access to abortion, no matter where they live.
  • I was wrong. It's not 5 children dead – it's SIX. The Trump Admin just disclosed a 10-yr-old girl died in federal custody last year. Are there more we don't know about? We need oversight. We need accountability. We need to do everything we can to keep this from happening again.
  • I stand with , , and the 250,000 workers who lost jobs and severance pay when Wall Street fat cats and Eddie Lampert gutted companies like . Together, we'll keep fighting for justice, accountability, and better futures for all.

    . has empowered workers around the nation to fight for an economy that allows us to work in dignity. Meet some of the workers who and I are supporting today:
  • Washington is supposed to work for everyone. Instead, the rich & powerful like & Eddie Lampert use it to become even more rich & powerful, while workers are left holding the bag. This is the DC swamp at its worst.
  • Steven Mnuchin and his college roommate Eddie Lampert (the CEO of Sears) piled the company with debt, closed thousands of stores, and enriched themselves at the expense of workers. Now, could have a say in decisions affecting .
     
  • Before became Treasury Secretary, he was on the board of , where he helped gut the company and fire thousands of employees. Now, and I have some tough questions for him.
  • It's been 48 days since the Violence Against Women Act passed the House. But McConnell would rather help his buddies than bring to the floor. This is ridiculous. Women's lives are more important than gun lobbyists' wish lists.
  • In December I called for to investigate these deaths at the border, and that review is underway. But we need answers now: why are children dying after being taken into custody and what steps is CBP taking to end this string of tragedies?
  • Two more immigrant children died over the past week after having been in custody. That’s five deaths in the past six months. It’s appalling. CBP owes the American people an explanation for these children’s deaths and its failure to keep them safe.
